Sweden, a study of correlation.

Most of us don't think about Sweden too often, in fact the only time I think about Sweden is when I remember how incredibly fuckable the girls are (and who are we kidding, the swedish are so good looking that even I sneak in a boy or two from time to time) but lately sweden's been reminding me of her existence consistently. It started around september last year with the best selling trilogy from Stieg Larsson Millenium,  a fantastic neo-noir story that is full of grotesque imagery, erotica and cyber espionage.

When I began reading through it a Sweden I had never imagined started gaining life, no longer was it a peaceful, progressive country but quite the opposite. Quickly, Larsson began to show a misogynist, corrupt and inept system of government and the consequences of its attributes.
Being the cynic I am Millenium wasn't enough to depress me entirely so, naturally, I began picking clues Larsson left along the books and came upon the movie LIlja 4-ever, a fictional movie alluding to the sex trafficking and specifically the trade of russian girls in Sweden. 

 

Wholesomely depressing

This movie was incredible, the reality of circumstances in Russia can be felt if ever lived in a third world country and the portrayal of the sadistic human side is just demoralizing. I became a full fledge atheist after watching this movie.
But swedes aren't only about sex trafficking and dark metal, they also dig their vampires! and in what feels like a revival trend of vampirism (and loads of cheapstake iq lowering vampire romances AKA: twilight) they have kept their own, just yesterday I watched the original adaptation of the novel Let the right one in for screen and was surprised to find a very well directed, much refreshing love story between a vampire and a wannabe-serial-killer.

 

Show all
Now if some conclusion can be gathered from these works (and many i didn't mention, such as Lars von Trier's Antichrist)  it would be that swedes  are like dark chocolate truffles. A delightful combination of dark psyche and very fuckable bodies.
