Okay, so I love Eurovision soooo damn much and I'm Icelandic. When I first heard tWill Ferrel was making a Eurovision movie I was like....ugh. Because I'm not a huge WF fan and stuff, but then turns out his wife is Swedish and he's a big Eurovision fan so I was like "hmmm, I'll give him a break. Let's see where this goes."
And then off course they involved us (Iceland) and came here and shot stuff and have Icelandic actors and stuff. :D The thing that annoys me the most really is THOSE WERE NOT ICELANDIC NAMES. lol. They were Swedish or Scandinavian, but in my head-canon it's because like they come from like Swedish immigrants or something. XD
I loved how at the start of the movie it's just all in Icelandic, but oh boy, Brosnan's Icelandic is atrocious. I had no idea what he was trying to say. XD They should have dubbed him, but he tried. lol. And then everything went to english. XD
But I like to think it's like the babblefish in The hitchhikers Guide or the chameleon circuit in the Tardis, they are still talking in Icelandic, it's just translated into English. XD That doesn't explain everything, lol. But that's again my head-canon. lolol
I LOOOOVVED the cameos from actual past Eurovision performers. I especially loved Conchita Wurst's outfit. <3_<3
And the songs are so good or dorky and totally Eurovision-y! The original songs and the use of the other Icelandic songs. <333 And all the stuff on stage? Literally all of it has happened to some degree. XD None of that was unrealistic. XD
Basically I just loved the whole movie because it makes fun, but it makes fun with love. Ya know? Like you can make fun of a sibling, but no one else because you do it with love. hahah. And I love that they did it like with the EBU. <333
Some critics were like saying oh it has no edge or something and like who said it needed an edge? Pfft. Give me all the sillyness and escapism. And some seem to think they need to be offended on behalf of Icelanders, but trust me, we're not offended at all. XD We love it. XD
And like about the elves. They probably don't exist, but you never know. So you know better safe than sorry, tbh. XD Just show some respect. XD
I loved Alexander so much too. lol. But feel a bit sad for him too. :(
That Húsavík song was so great. <3_<3 But lol, people in Iceland the last few days have been all about the Ja Ja Ding Dong. XD It's perfect. *chef's kiss* lolol.
It's just silly, and happy and dorky and Eurovision in all it's glory. XD I love it in all its wacky glory, but I also can take it seriously. Maybe sometimes too seriously. XD Because I also want a good song to win and not a too gimmicky of an act. But yes, ugh, i can't wait for ESC next year. Also Iceland could have won this year with Think about things with Daði and the ganamagn. :'( But we'll just have to try again next year! XD
