Oh well... it was interesting to see, however I do believe I was maybe a bit too young to understand everything. So that's also why I didn't get the wow feeling I thought I was gonna get from watching it. And maybe it was also because I had higher expectations. Anyway my parents on the other hand, whom I watched it with, could understand a lot more. So they appreciated it a lot more!
But in all, a good movie, however if I could mention something bad about it... then it would be when it came to a few expressions in Swedish, they had made some mistakes here and there. E.g back in the 60's you'd never use "You" to a Doctor!!
