sweded film research

I have just found that there is a festival for Sweded movies in america, where people get to show off their own creations, as well as watching others films that them themselves have created to get inspiration for more films of their own.
http://swedefest.com

there are thousands of swedes films out there that many people have spent time creating, but the best thing about it is that it costs very little to make due to that all you need is a camera and a group of friends and you can create your own film for others to look forward to watching.

The history of sweded films came from the movie created in 2008 called be kind rewind, where a dvd stall owner accidentally erased all the dvd's so created his own version of the films so he didn't loose money.

Snacked is a blog that has created a list of films that are some of the best films to swede, so that people who are new to the idea of a sweded film can still make their own and see how easy it is to do.

There has been a story in The Guardian newspaper saying that "swedes films could be the end to hollywood films as we know it". More and more people are becoming aware of sweded films, so why waste 2 hours of your life watching a film that may or may not be good, when you can watch a funny version that tells the story, but is under 7 minutes long.

This is a website with a video that has 70 iconic films in one film, that is only 10 minutes long!

10th favourite film: Sister Act

Sister Act
Whoopi Goldberg is a lengend in the film industry, and this just shows you why. you can't help but enjoy a funny yet action full film. whoopi hinds from her husband in a church and is changed by the nun's she meets. She becomes the choir teacher and makes sunday services popular. I laugh every time at this film and i enjoy everything about it. it puts a smile on my face and i love the music from both the film and the musical.

9th favourite film: Mamma Mia

Mamma Mia
This film speaks for its self. With flairs, platforms and perms, you can't help but to sing along to the classic Abba tracks that everyone knows and loves. Some of films biggest starts lead in this film, it is no wonder that Mamma Mia flew off the shelves in 2008. people of all ages could enjoy this musical, and this will be one of my favourite musical films.

8th favourite film: Friends With Benefits

Friends with Benefits
With Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis as the leads, there is not a lot you can't like about this film. is funny, witty and full of innuendo's, but it has quite a deep meaning within. with a ill father, Justin Timberlake's character pulls a few heart strings, and leaves you falling more in love with him than you were before you watched the film.

7th favourite film: Sherlock Holmes Game Of Shadows

Sherlock Holmes
The clever mind of inspector Holmes strikes again as him and his partner in crime Watson fight another case to save the day. Like all Sherlock films, you have to pay serious attention to everything or you may miss something, but the clever twists and turns in this film never seem to stop surprising me. with guns, mysteries and a false death, this is definitely a role that only Robert Downey jr could take on.

6th favourite film: The Hobbit Desolation Of Smaug

The Hobbit
Following the lord of the rings saga, the hobbit is an adventure from start to finish. It is action packed right from the moment the film starts. This saga contains: Hobbits, dwarfs, trolls, elves, wizards and a dragon. what more could you ask for? It's a boyish film, but even a disney/musical fan like myself can enjoy this film. I was on the edge of my seat throughout the whole film. I even jumped out of my seat a couple of times, but couldn't take my eyes off the screen.

5th favourite film: Tangled

Tangled
Not only does this film make you laugh and cry, but this is one of Walt Disney's best creations next to Frozen. You think you know the story of Rapunzel, but this classic has had a modern twist to keep all generations glued to the tv screen. You can't help but fall in love with Maximus the horse, and the very handsome (for a disney character) Flynn Rider. This film is fun for children, and the parents that get forced to watch it even come away with a smile on their faces.

4th favourite film: Legally Blonde



Legally Blonde

It's a fun film that shows that looks aren't everything, and not to judge a person before you get to know them. this classic blonde stereotypical girl heads off to law school to see if she can impress 'the boy of her dreams' which as you can imagine backfires, but not in the way you may think at first. Elle woods is seen throughout the film as a typical blonde, with little brains and big boobs, however she shows everyone wrong when she manages to prove the step daughter of a friend is guilty for her dads murder using her incredible sense on fashion and beauty to do so. this film has changed the way i see fellow blonde girls in everyday life, and i have learnt not to judge a book by its cover.

3rd favourite film: Billy Elliot

Billy Elliot
the reason i and many other people love billy elliot is that its based on a true story, and it pulls a few heartstrings due to the political problems within the film. This film is everything i believe in about boys and dancing. Boys of all ages should be allowed to dance, and should never be put down for doing so. I have seen both the film and the west end show, and have been amazed by both. The reason i love this film so much is it was one of the first films to show that it is okay for boys to dance, and i think this film has changed history in the making.



2nd Favourite film: The hunger games

The hunger games
In this film, its all for one and one for all. There can only be one winner. its an action packed 2 hours 55 minutes, with complex relationships growing, making it harder to kill each other. the story behind the hunger games sound gruesome (having to kill friends and foes in order to survive), however there is nothing gory about this film in the slightest. In fact you are  almost missing the blood, however the action makes up for the lack of deaths witnessed. the resin i love this film is just the fact i can't take my eyes away from the screen for one second   because i will miss something. there is so much happening, that you could not possibly be bored while watching it. once you have watched the first one, you can't help but want to watch the rest in the sequel, however only the first two film have been made, and i for one can't wait to watch the other films that follow.

1st favourite film: Frozen

frozen

even though this film is specifically for children, walt disney have created a story that follows two sisters, one of which has magical powers, that even adults can't resist. This is my all time favourite film because not only are the songs incredibly catchy, i can really relate to the relationship between the two sisters as it reflects the relationship between me and my own sister (without the magical power- unfortunately). It may be a winter themed film, but i can watch it all year round. The loveable characters make you laugh the whole way through and may even leave you with a tear in your eye when you see the twist to a typical Disney's happily ever after.
