watched the film metalhead/málmhaus (2013) dir. ragnar bragason, so i have some thoughts!

firstly, i believe this is the first film i've ever seen in which the young female protagonist is not introduced to metal music by her boyfriend or love interest or etc. to be fair, it's still a male figure, namely her brother, but most of what the film depicts is her own personal discovery and journey with the genre. so i very much appreciate that.

the scene of her brother's scalping was so graphic and striking. very beautiful and horrific to me.

i honestly thought the protagonist, hera, was going to be a teenage girl, so i was a bit shocked to find out she was around her mid twenties, i believe. i cringed so, so deeply when she slept with knutur. that's when i knew it was directed by a man (not to be a bechdel test male directors can't ever direct women person but it was just evident!) disappointed to see she wasn't a lesbian but it didn't spoil anything for me.

i actually really enjoyed hera's relationship with the priest, janus. like fleabag but much less millennial and annoying. as well as her rebuilding the church with everyone <3 as much as i hate that book, it reminds me a bit of this passage from lords of chaos in which either a priest (?) or clergy member relates his view that most black metal-ers are actually confused christians who are angry at the church for not being extreme enough, in some way. just food for thought, not that i necessarily align with that.

i was so, SO deeply afraid that hera's little "normal" phase (don't know how else to phrase it) where she was living with knutur was going to be her happy ending. like i got sick to my stomach. it would be like the slc punk ending (awful) but even worse, because she was a woman being stripped of all her individuality and creative expression by this man who looks like he was hastily made with clay.

so when oystein and those others from norway came asking about her tape it made my entire night. i especially love the scene where hera plays her song for everyone, with those kids. she has to slightly alter the vocals (aka, not scream) in order for her community to appreciate it and get a hold of what she's saying, but it doesn't rid it of any integrity.

the closing scene of hera and her parents dancing to symphony of destruction was unexpected but i still loved it. because she was so very much HERSELF

that being said i do wish the film put a bit more focus on hera and black metal, as i just assumed the entire film would be centered on that genre instead of NWOBHM and thrash, which is most of the film. nonetheless it still ended up a three stars for me, mostly because of certain scenes that were just...unnatural feeling to me.

but besides that, very enjoyable, and i think everyone should watch this and heavy trip (2018) instead of fuckass lords of chaos.

despite its shortcomings (many) and its reinforcing sterotypes i love metal lords, so much!!!!!! hunter's teenagehood mirrored mine so uncannily - the anger, the angst, the finding reprieve and power in metal - i just feel. so SEEN right now. I've watched many a high school romcom, but god this is the only one i actually RELATE to

#this movie GETS me #i can't stop grinning!!!! do you know how GOOD it feels to see yourself so completely in a movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!#GOD when hunter got lifted off his feet playing his guitar solo with tears in his eyes... i GENUINELY have not related to something THAT ha #*hard #his dickishness! his flair for the dramatic!!! EVERYTHING... again i just feel so seen goshhhhhh #even without looking at the credits you can tell this was a labor of love #there are so many moments in this movie i could pause and go THAT'S ME!!!! pointing at the screen #ngl it is lonely as FUCK growing up obsessed with metal esp in a country where most people don't even know about it #there were some metal movies that kept me company when i was a kid. malmhaus for example #but that moodier and i didn't relate as hard. now THIS... this is a comfort movie #vaaya moodu #metal lords

Thoughts on Metalhead/Málmhaus (2013) after my first watch

Edit: tumblr is shit so my first paragraph got deleted but its basically the same as the conclusion so its okay i guess

The movie was frustrating at first because Hera was just an asshole and a bit of a menace (nothing too wild like I expected though) and she hardly faced any consequences. I realized —and this is based purely off assumption from observations and some brief knowledge— that I’m not used to the Scandinavian focus of rehabilitation over punishment. If Hera lived in America, unless she was wealthy on top of being white I would've fully expect her to be met with cruelty and punishment ending in her life spiraling downwards. It must be a cultural thing, and I think that lifestyle is a luxury that Scandinavia can afford but everyone across the world needs to have as well. (If I’m inaccurate and you're Icelandic or Scandinavian please correct me).

So yeah I was annoyed with how Hera treated her nice parents who lost the same person as her. But I really got the picture of how they only fanned the flames of her suffocation, loneliness and discomfort in the extremely tiny Christian village when they made the gargantuan parental mistake of bringing a priest into the house to fix her. It didn't help that the priest was a fucking inept idiot who entered a young woman's bedroom alone with her and started taking his shirt off without uttering ANY explanation while she was visibly scared he would do what priests do, however it was to show her his Iron Maiden tattoo. Ok.

Did not expect the movie to touch on sexism and gender roles but it would be avoiding a huge glaring factor of Hera's issues if it didn't. Hera wants to fix her relationship with her parents and community after burning the church down and wants to be "normal," so she marries/gets engaged with her childhood friend and lives with him and his father as a housewife, as if to "make up" for everything. When Hera fries fish and stares blankly out the window, longing to be free out in the land, it parallels her mother at the begining identically. That's when I truly noticed the sexism that's been plaguing, silencing and isolating the women in the story the entire time. Hera admits she wanted her parents to be happy by changing like this and her mom tells her she just wants her to be happy on her own terms.

So after shunning her community and being a huge metalhead asshole, and then stripping herself of her identity and becoming a shrunken housewife, Hera seperates with her husband and helps rebuild the church she burnt down to finally arrive at the perfect balancing point of being her true self without spitting fire at her family and community. It's solidified when she performs her first show for them, and instead of bursting their eardrums with screaming she sings her same song for them in a way that can understand her with. The movie ends with her and her parents dancing to Megadeth, it was really sweet and beautiful.

An important note is that this ending wouldn't have happened that way if Hera's parents hadn't decided to finally candidly talk about their sons death and learn to move on, clearing his room out even. Hera's brother was a metalhead. Metal was Hera's sole crutch because while her parents went absent drowning in imprisoned grief, all she had left was a brother who could only exist in her and the music. Living with the walking ghost of their dead son didn't help the family get close enough for any cooperation, the leather clothes and heavy music was a loud reminder of the boy's passing. Accepting his death meant accepting Hera's identity and finally finding the true and balanced individuals within the family. This was a very healing, surprisingly gentle and loving story.
