Thanks for bringing this interesting topic to the board. It is a good exercise for my lax brain, parts of the movie are starting to come back now.
I'm not good at recalling names. The police officier who was pregnant, was she the the sheriff? Did the wife survive??
After taking an English course, I started analyzing all the characters and trying to slot them into their roles. This was in some way taking from my usual enjoyment of films and books, and disturbed my husband's pleasure too. Hmph. Wonder why growth involves these painful bumps?
SusanHow right you are about the white foods. Except for the bread, which hear is mainly white, and in Finland the staple bread is a heavy sour rye, a lot more flavour. Milk is added to almost everything. Finns mostly are not lactose intolerant. Perhaps the white foods come from the milk. Snow is white too. It brightens the long winter nights that shorten the days, plus provides a great mode for transportation. A great insulator too, now isn't that an oxymoron? Mother nature has a great sense of humour.
There was a movie called the "thirteenth warrior" or something like that. (Had a number and solider term for the title.) It was about a viking village being attacked by these people who wore bearskins. I believe the bear people represented ancient finns. The vikings and finns had always waged battles on each other. Your ancestors were more adventours and social, traveling and reaching out. Mine liked to stay on put on their land and steam.
