Saw "Elsk meg i Morgen" i Trondheim this night. (Ocktober 30-2005) After the disappointment of "Mors Elling", it was great to see Elling and Kjell Bjarne together again.
Kjell Barne has moved out, and live one floor up for Elling with his girl and child, and they find Elling very sick inn his apartment. But tings get better, and Elling is soon back on his feet's, and falls for a girl who works at a hot-dog stand.
Elling have a extremely low self esteem, and I don't think he finds himself very interesting, but he tries to hide it. He struggles to find his place in the world, and admires and is kind of jealous of people who has figured it out. He also a naive view of the world, and old values and pride haunts his actions and views of things. And this hits him in the face quite often. His mental healths depends on how the world treat him, and when his on top of things he seems to blossoms of pride and self esteem, but he is really scared underneath. And when the world hits him, he falls apart.
I really liked this movie. It made me smile, and it made me sad. Elling tries very hard to live like everybody else, he really does, but "our" world is not the world Elling thinks he lives in. His like a naive child who tries to do grown up things, and thats a recipe of disaster for him. And to see Elling go thru this is quite sad. There is warmth here, and a lot of compassion, and this human drama is very well don in this excellent movie. Go see it!
