A Shocking Accident

The story begins when nine-year old Jerome gets to know that his
father is dead. Jerome was in school when the headmaster called her to
a room and told that his father is dead. Jerome admired and adored her
father, and she thought that someone had shot his father, but really
Jerome’s father died in street accident in the Naples when he was walking to the Hydrographic museum. Then Jerome headmaster Mr.
Wordsworth explained that the pig had fallen on her father. Headmaster
explained that someone had soared to the fifth floor of an apartment
building pigs and the pig had been in the balcony and it had collapsed
and the pig had fallen directly on Jerome’s father. It was a great
shock of Jerome when his father died, and yet so ridiculous, but the
more it irritates him that if he really someone tells how his father
is dead then all laugh at him. Jerome developed two ways of how to tell his father’s death. The first option was to tell the story in its original format, but the second method was to say only ’My father was killed by a pig. ”
After years when Jerome is getting married, so his wife would like to
know how to Jerome’s father died. Jerome tells him the story of the
original, but he is afraid that his wife Sally would laugh at her
story, but Sally can not laugh , and it is a great relief of the
Jerome when there is someone who does not laugh at his story.

Short story was quite amusing, even if the text was quite difficult to read. I do not necessarily understand everything perfectly and it was a bit difficult, but I got the task done

The unknown soldier (1985)

The unknown soldier is one of the most famous war film in Finland.  The film is directed by Rauni Mollberg and released in 1985. The film is based on a novel written by  Väinö Linna and it has already made one film that has been released thirty years earlier, in 1955.

film tells about the war between Finland and Russia, which began in 1941 and ended in 1945. Leading role the movie is a machine gun company who left to continue the war, but, unfortunately, some of the men do not return to the end of war, but many of the men are dead and another seriously wounded. Machine-gun company common finnish soldiers are men and the movie they act normal finnish actors.

machine-gun company has a total of 20 soldiers, but the best of them is Antero Rokka and he plays Paavo Liski. Antero Rokka that is fast, accurate and careful soldier, but it is not always enough, as he also wounded in the war at the last moment. Paavo Liski managed to act very well, and he was rewarded to JUSSI award.

the movie does not have any background music, unless it is a part of the film, for example, a soldier sings drunk or someone is listening to music gramophone. But the film’s special effects seemed and sound quite real, which made the film finer.

in my opinion, the movie was really good and really interesting, it is even better than Edvid Laine’s earlier film, directed by the same screenplay, because Mollmberg used the younger actors. I recommend the movie to all who are interested in their country’s history and otherwise patriotic people
