Fucking Åmål, a.k.a. Show Me Love, is one of the best-known films to come out of Sweden in recent years.The story concerns Agnes Ahlberg, a young lesbian who has recently moved to the sleepy Swedish town of Åmål with her family. Agnes goes to school in 9th grade, the last year before High School (locally known as "gymnasium"), where her only friend is a wheelchair-bound girl named Viktoria. But Agnes dreams of a better life and spends her days pining for the school's most popular girl, Elin Olsson.When Agnes' parents decide to throw a sixteenth-birthday party without consulting her, Agnes invites only Viktoria, but Elin and her older sister Jessica crash the party, unbeknownst to Agnes. While there, Jessica dares Elin to kiss Agnes on the lips—and is revolted when Elin does so. Elin enjoys the kiss, but Agnes—who didn't know of the dare—is left feeling hurt and confused.Elin soon starts to feel remorse, and decides to apologize. The two start to strike up a relationship, but Elin worries that Jessica won't accept her, and instead invents a romance with Unlucky Everydude Johan, best friend of Jessica's loser boyfriend Markus.The movie is famous for having gone right up against Titanic (1997) in its native country, and sweeping the Guldbagges (the Swedish Academy Awards). | |

Does This Remind You of Anything?: Markus spends some time comparing the size of his phone to other guys'. The funny part is that they brag about how small their phones are. | |

Spurned into Suicide | |
| Show Me Love / int_188802c0 | comment |
Spurned into Suicide: Agnes over Elin's cruelty to her. It's not really a wholehearted attempt, and Elin interrupts it. Given her method, it's more likely Agnes was taking her emotions out on herself through cutting rather than really attempting suicide. | |

Title Drop: "Why do we have to live in fucking hell dick Åmål?" or words to that effect. The line in Swedish ("Varför måste vi bo i fucking jävla kuk-Åmål?") is a bit hard to translate. Elin drops the title exactly in the bridge scene. | |

Censored Title: Almost nowhere outside of Sweden used the original title. In Swedish, the word "fucking" is used exclusively as a curse-word. In English, it would be interpreted as if the movie was about intercourse. | |

Intertwined Fingers | |

Intertwined Fingers: The climactic scene, when Elin and Agnes walk out of the bathroom - and out of the school grounds - Holding Hands, Intertwined Fingers, swinging their arms, and giving each other sideways looks and smiles, is about the cutest scene in movie history, possibly only topped by the scene immediately following where they drink chocolate milk together. | |

| Show Me Love / int_2d364c81 | comment |
Tomboy and Girly Girl: Agnes and Elin. The former is the tomboy, having short hair, fairly boyish clothing and eschewing typical girls' interests. Elin is the Girly Girl, with long hair, feminine (often pretty revealing clothing) and standard interests for a teenage girl. | |

Small Town Boredom | |
| Show Me Love / int_41dce76e | comment |
Small Town Boredom: Elin, hardcore. One reason she drops the title of the film. Unfortunately, while the concept gets a good treatment in overall dialogue and character arcs, it's slightly marred by what seems to be big-city misconceptions about Swedish small-town life. To facilitate production, the film was actually shot in Trollhättan, a town that is five times larger and much more like a real city: this is not what a small town looks like in Sweden (for one thing, bridges like the one in the film are very rare). | |

| Show Me Love / int_466ccbb4 | comment |
Gayngst: Agnes. So. Much. A closeted lesbian girl in a small town, she gets mocked as a "dyke" frequently by her peers, with just one friend due to being a social reject. Her crush, Elin, initially doesn't really know who Agnes even is, and then leads her on with a kiss just due to a bet. This naturally doesn't cause Agnes to be very happy at first, with her even halfheartedly attempting suicide over Elin, but it gets interrupted. Agnes gets over this with Elin's help, who genuinely falls for her, after which the pair defiantly come out together, stating they're girlfriends. | |

Aggressive Categorism: Markus is the obvious case, with his inane rant about how women can't possibly understand cellphones and men can't possibly understand makeup. However, it's implied that the people in general are just as narrow-minded, they just don't flaunt it like he does. Life in a small town is hell. | |

Vomit Indiscretion Shot: After drinking most of a bottle of wine (straight out of the bottle) at the Wild Teen Party, Elin runs to the bathroom and pukes into the toilet, in close-up. Her behaviour immediately afterward implies that she was doing this as an excuse to leave early. It's never revealed how much she drank, and she likely faked the vomiting, as she never says anything about being drunk. | |

Heteronormative Crusader | |
| Show Me Love / int_ca5eda76 | comment |
Heteronormative Crusader: Camilla is always ready to mock Agnes as a "dyke" whenever she sees her. Viktoria chose to assume this role, harassing Agnes for her lesbianism due to bitterness over Agnes' insults toward her when their friendship collapsed. It's all an openly calculated plot designed to use homophobia as a means to gain popularity... and it backfires completely. | |

Now What? | |
| Show Me Love / int_d075a135 | comment |
Now What?: The ending deliberately leaves many plot threads hanging (like how coming out of the (water) closet affects the balance of power, or how Jessica will react upon finding out. Or if Jessica and Johan end up together—it is implied that she breaks up with Markus.) | |

If It's You, It's Okay | |
| Show Me Love / int_d31da2e3 | comment |
If It's You, It's Okay: While Agnes is a lesbian, Elin hasn't shown any attraction to any other girl - Agnes is quite possibly her first and only one. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
| Show Me Love / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: At her unwanted party, Agnes throws a fit at Viktoria, insulting her and even picking on her because she's disabled. Her parents call her out on it, and she later tries to apologize. Viktoria refuses to forgive her, mostly because it's true what Agnes said: They never liked each other, and they both knew it. They were "friends" because no-one else wanted them. Also inverted: When Karin first hears the rumour going around, her first impulse is to invade Agnes' privacy (particularly the diary entry Agnes wrote when Elin argued with her). Instead of, you know, just sitting down and talking to her. This has the expected result. | |

Diegetic Switch: Foreigner's "I Want To Know What Love Is" goes up in volume when Agnes and Elin kiss in the car. | |

Romantic Runner-Up: Johan, who Elin dates, sleeps with, and then breaks up with to be with Agnes. However, it's implied that he may eventually start dating Jessica. | |
