St Trinian's and Absolute Giganten



“St Trinian's, a school for "young ladies" with its anarchic doctrine of free expression, brings together a motley crew of ungovernable girls who, using their wit and ingenuity, save the school from bankruptcy”

At first glance this looked like just another teen movie. As soon as it starts that thought is quickly killed though, it’s clear that St Trinian has its own language as well as a special tone right from the beginning.

All characters are developed carefully and match together into a mass of unique women and men. The groups of girls that at start hate each other beyond belief soon find out that when they are forced together they are not that different after all.

The comedy is spotless and even though the main story is sometimes a bit cliché it doesn’t matter because the characters make it new and fresh.

St Trinian's from 2007 is based on a cartoon. The movie is sassy, fun, smart and absolutely adorable.
It's about this school, St Trinian's, it's the worst school in the whole England. They teach how to blow up things the best way, got anger management courses where they practice target shooting. When the school later's treated to close down the students decides to take matters in their own hands.

You can even spot Lena Headey as the new English teacher; her portrayal of this semi-normal woman is just hilarious.

I (emelie) would give this movie a 7/0

And I (Elin) give it 8/10

Absolute Giganten from 1999 is a german film set in Hamburg, it depicts how a group of young Germans react to the prospect of one of them leaving for ever, and involves drink, V8 engines, and an extraordinary game of table-football.

There table-football scene’s probably the most original thing I’ve ever seen.
The performances by the actors and (one) actress are explicit. This is my second movie I review here with Julia Hummer, I know I might have a movie crush on her. But just watch her in a movie.
Her character in Ab
solute Giganten is hilarious but still very serious.

Anyway, they end up in so fucked up situations it’s hard to not love it. Just being chased by a pack of circus artist who worship Elvis, dresses like Elvis and talk like Elvis.

I just have 2 words for you, See It.

9/10 easy
