The Promised Land - Official Trailer | Starring Mads Mikkelsen | Directed by Nikolaj Arcel

[@cameronnewton6700]

Mads is in it, so I'm watching it.

[@robinavalyn9513]

Yes indeed!

[@jynnithejew]

Yep!!

Go for it.. masterpiece ❤ summary Things rarely turn out the way we imagined they would, Ludvig.

[@marinabroglia8459]

ME TOO ! 😊

[@Beaut_Beau]

Mads has such an electrifying screen presence, he is so enjoyable to watch in everything i have ever seen him in

[@AllThingsFilm1]

I always keep my eyes peeled for any movie with Mads Mikkelson. He brings so much power and honesty to his characters, that it is always a great experience to see his films.

[@ishmael_03]

Me too. He is a terrific actor!

[@ArmonMitchell]

Is he replacing Robert Duval as my top "low key" bests....? maybe.... maybe

[@johntomlinson9924]

He was great in Flame and citron.

[@artbyb3065]

ME TOO IM OBSESSED WITH HIM HIS ACTING HIS WHOLE DEMEANOR

[@Rokisempai]

And yet they had to ruin it with the girl actress of "color" to put a checkmark to be "inclusive". It is historically not accurate nad BS.

[@ryan8430]

Mads is one of the greatest actors ever

[@ShahJee101]

Shufff. I thought mads gonna play an israeli settler role who murders children because God told him to

[@owendispensa8953]

Saw this at the Chicago Film Festival at the Gene Siskel center. Very small theater, not the biggest showing either. And holy shit. I was floored by this movie. It felt so real, every moment of it. I went through a range of every emotion up until the end. May be my favorite of the year, a must watch.

[@eveningstar1]

Thank you!

[@randalthor6872]

Looks really interesting! I love Mads. Is it "woke" though? it seems the type of movie to have all kinds of toxic anti-western propaganda in it...

[@graysheep47]

@@randalthor6872 There's a clip on youtube of a "journalist" who ask Mads about the lack of diversity in the movie because there's so many white people in it, and Mads just laughs at him, i doubt it is woke.

[@adandd]

It’s a historical drama, how is it toxic anti-western. It is based on a true story of a battle for power and land in Denmark. And if you read the interview re:wokism, while they didn’t do a good job of it, what the reporter was trying to get at is that different countries are held to different standards when it comes to the Academy evaluating films on diversity. Parasite with an all-Asian cast was accepted as entry for best picture while The Promised Land being Nordic wouldn’t qualify so it had to submit for best International Picture. So the journalist was more questioning the academy’s approach to diversity and Mads doesn’t criticize the academy but addresses the diversity issue (I.e. Denmark didn’t really have people of colour back then).

Hoping this movie does well internationally! It's a grim, heavy and cruel movie in every aspect, but I think a necessary eye-opener for many audiences. It's a good reality check just how difficult and socially unequal conditions prevailed in the Nordics just a few centuries ago.

[@praetor47]

"It's a good reality check just how difficult and socially unequal conditions prevailed in the Nordics just a few centuries ago." as opposed... to the rest of the world? lol

It's a very good thing that we're importing lots and lots of people who will ensure those grim times will come back before you know it.

[@Stripedbottom]

@@praetor47 Probably meant that the change has been biggest in those countries and yes, to emphasize that the way things are wasn't always so and not that long ago even the Nordics were just as bad as everywhere else.

[@Winaska]

@@praetor47 yes. the Nordic lands were under nobles who constrained their kings (and yet those same kings thought of themselves as crowned by God...) and then lorded it over the peasants and other classes. compare this to England where (at least for the English) a constitutional monarchy kept a healthy tension between king and parliament so that the king could not rule as a despot nor could parliament rule as an oligarchy. If anything things have gotten worse in the modern world as most state and national legislatures now rule like oligarchies "in the name of the people" they know nothing about nor care about. we need a few kings to come back and check the modern nobility we call elected officials. balance.

It doesn't seem to be showing in American theaters, unfortunately. Where did you see it?

How did this epic masterpiece not win an Oscar for Best Foreign film?? A 18th century period piece that is as close to perfect and entertaining as a film can get!

[@i_like_to_move_it_move_it]

As a German, whenever I hear Danish i think i understand the first half of the sentence, then the end of the sentence is just blääppüüüüüstööö like whales talking to each other.

[@agffans5725]

It's because Danish has vastly more vowels and altering vowel sounds compared to other neighboring languages, so while written Danish may be fairly easy to decipher, especially for other Scandinavians, then spoken Danish is very difficult to learn also for Danish children and other Scandinavians.

[@agffans5725]

On the other hand, English is then easy-peasy to learn for a Dane, because we share the same grammar structure and around 900 every-day words, due to the Danish Viking invasion and settlement in the Danelaw. Ironically, it was the "pillaging" Danish Vikings who also introduced the word law itself and the concept of a jury to the English.

[@MM------]

that looks like Finnish lol

[@sara-subramanian]

This was such a great movie and there so much that needs to be decomposed. All my emotions were triggered at one point or another, be it love, hate, sympathy, excitement, surprise, the list goes on. The childs story made me cry (with sadness and love), and the ending was just the best.

[@sleepywater]

Fantastic movie. Mads Mikkelsen is a force of Nature on and outside the screen. God bless the ones before us who had the TRUE COURAGE to fight for freedom and justice against abusers. We all benefit from it 🙏🏼✨ The secondary story about the little girl and how it develops throughout the film is one of my favourite things about this movie...It works perfectly as a kind of tender contrast with all the harsh conditions, the brutality and injustice around them 3...And she eventually finds her way in life...A True Survivor ❤

[@SOHANSINGHRAJPOOT]

I loved it, a historical and biographical film full of feelings. A heartbreaking story of a cruel and classist Denmark, which reveals how social classes divide us and bring out the worst in human beings. A character who does not allow himself to be intimidated and undertakes a battle so unequal that he will put not only his life at risk, but also the family of marginalized people that has formed around him. Ludvig Kahlen is an outcast, a bastard who longs for a noble title, a title that is far from giving him happiness and, above all, dignity. A Mads Mikkelsen who perfectly embodies a man devastated by poverty, misunderstanding and disdain for a solitary life. A man who only hopes to live his dream...serve the king!

[@sleepywater]

The way he changes throughout the story...❤

[@tokiburoak7457]

Well, can we at least appreciate the Mr. White Spectre villain (Jesper Christensen) who got to survive 3 Bond movies without actually being killed by Bond, but ironically killing off fellow Dane villain actor Mads Mikkelsen in Casino Royal.
