Max Manus is a 2008 Norwegian historical war film.It tells the story of the eponymous World War II resistance fighter Maximo "Max" Manus, who, after a short deployment fighting Russians in Finland, returns to Norway to find it occupied by the Germans, and ends up joining a British special forces unit to conduct commando missions around Norway.The film is notable as one of the highest-grossing Norwegian films ever, as well as sparking much domestic debate about the glorification of the resistance movement. | |

Anyone Can Die | |
Max Manus / int_1237828f | comment |
Anyone Can Die: Played straight and foreshadowed — in the beginning of the film, it is made clear to Max that chances of survival in the commando unit is minimal. The scene where the group plans their first raid, Operation Mardonius, is notable in this regard because out of all the people in the scene, only Max survives the war. | |

We Have to Get the Bullet Out! | |
Max Manus / int_324385bb | comment |
We Have to Get the Bullet Out!: Justified; Max is shot when a pistol accidentally discharges in the safehouse. At first Max thinks he's dying from all the blood, but it turns out the injuries are superficial because the bullet fragmented. However the doctor informs him that he's not able to find all the fragments, which could cause infection if left in place. Max has to be evacuated to neutral Sweden so he can go to a hospital, and while he's away his best friend Greger is caught in an ambush and killed. | |

Rule of Cool | |
Max Manus / int_36e63b81 | comment |
Rule of Cool: The movie made a point of making some scenes more action-like than they actually were. The first Balcony Escape had Max hitting one of the police men before jumping. In Real Life, he just said "look", and pointed to a picture on the wall before jumping, having made them turn around for a moment. Max Manus lampshaded this himself in his memoirs (when describing his arrest): "If this had been a movie, I probably would have been a badass and tried shooting myself out of the mess. As it were, I just put down my gun and said: Hi, guys!" | |

Properly Paranoid | |
Max Manus / int_3aec9e5e | comment |
Properly Paranoid: One resistance member says he sleeps in a different location every night, and remonstrates with Max about staying in the safehouse where he thinks his fellow Resistance fighters will protect him. A German soldier randomly fires his submachine gun into the water near the Donau's hull to deter saboteurs, who nearly get hit by such a burst just when they've finished planting the bombs. Max refuses to leave for Sweden without the rest of his group. When he goes to the safehouse however, he's smart enough to sneak in the back way and peek in the window. He sees the occupants dead on the floor and German soldiers waiting with their guns pointed at the door. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
Max Manus / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: there are several scenes which fans of action films would expect to turn out differently than they do. For example, when Max Manus jumps through a closed window, several stories over a cobblestone street, he is heavily injured both by the cuts and the impact with the ground, and ends up bedridden in a hospital. There is also a scene where two of his comrades meet with an alleged Nazi informant in a café, only to realize they've walked into a setup and that they are surrounded by heavily armed Nazis. Perhaps surprisingly to fans of Hollywood flicks, they don't miraculously win the ensuing firefight. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
Max Manus / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: The film ends with the death of Hitler and the liberation of Europe. However, Max Manus is pretty much a mental wreck at this point, having lost countless close friends and blaming himself for their deaths, and feeling obsolete and worthless without a war ("nothing is more pathetic than a soldier no one has a use for"). He's also given up on ever getting Tikken to fall in love with him. Although he does end up marrying Tikken, the 'conclusion text' before the end credits reveal that he will struggle with depression and alcoholism for the rest of his life. | |

Left the Background Music On: A rather horrible version; when Tallak gets captured by the Nazis, we see him again hanging bloodied in a dungeon somewhere, in the background, eerie, classical music is playing, until Tallak angrily yells to at least "turn that fucking music off" (roughly translated). Cut to the fat torturer who takes the needle off the LP, silencing the music, and starts a small conversation with his prisoner. He then resumes the music and it becomes background music again as the screen fades. | |

Highly-Conspicuous Uniform: On their first mission someone wants to know why their commando uniforms don't have the Norwegian flag on the shoulder, but it's pointed out they're posing as British commandos in the hope that the Germans won't retaliate against the locals. After the liberation when they're escorting the King for his Tickertape Parade, Max notes their uniform now proudly shows off their flag. | |

Fiery Coverup | |
Max Manus / int_b39b84ee | comment |
Fiery Cover-Up: La Résistance are out to destroy the government records to forestall a move to conscript Norwegians for the Russian front. One archive is blown up, but the other set of archives are in a block of flats with civilians living there, so Max insists they burn the documents in the fireplace even through it takes all night. Once daylight arrives the police show up to investigate all the smoke coming from the chimney and things rapidly go From Bad to Worse. | |

Don't Tell Mama | |
Max Manus / int_de04068f | comment |
Don't Tell Mama: A young Resistance member has them duck into an alley to hide from the Gestapo, then admits he's actually hiding from his mother who thinks he's safe in Sweden. Max finds this Actually Pretty Funny. | |

War Is Hell | |
Max Manus / int_f1d6144a | comment |
War Is Hell: Especially resistance warfare. The constant paranoia of getting caught, and many, many friends you've known for years getting killed. | |

Survivor Guilt: one of Max's biggest weaknesses is that he seems to blame himself every time one of his comrades dies. | |
