(I did once meet someone who had been born in India, but who had left at the age of two. They never knew that they had learnt Hindi whilst as a child until years later when they happened to overhear – and understand – a conversation in their local corner shop between the owner and his wife.)<br /><br />The first film in the trilogy does cover some rather difficult topics, and it must have been quite embarrassing (to say the least) for all of you to have watched it together.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-67764708339892263592012-07-06T00:52:37.987+01:002012-07-06T00:52:37.987+01:00Due to a weird twist of fate I can apparently unde...Due to a weird twist of fate I can apparently understand spoken Swedish. This was discovered when I got sick of an ex girlfriend looking for her socks and told her where she'd put them. At that point she noticed she had forgotten to speak English that day.<br /><br />Also: watching the first movie with my current girlfriend's mother and her then 12 year old brother was an experience I never want to repeat.Arquinsielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16290858295232803685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-9658887053588884982012-07-04T14:55:48.131+01:002012-07-04T14:55:48.131+01:00Sean,

I will probably watch the US-made versions of the second and third films when they are released, but I suspect that I am much more likely to watch the Swedish-made versions again in the future in preference to the US-made versions.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-76079473135746448532012-07-04T14:16:24.712+01:002012-07-04T14:16:24.712+01:00I saw the first two Swedish movies, then read the ...I saw the first two Swedish movies, then read the books and then saw the third Swedish movie. I then watched the whole Trilogy version on Netflix and it was quite good. I think the extended scenes added a lot to the film. I have yet to see the American version. I still have a bad taste in my mouth from the remake of Le Femme Nikita.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428727065347379281noreply@blogger.com
