Wasn't that great? I liked the part in France or was it Italy? (A great part of being ill for me is I'm able to watch movies a second time now because I don't realize I've watched them or perhaps it's because there's no memorable parts in them.) It was from watching this movie that I realized that it wasn't just my family that cursed a lot, the whole finnish dialogue was cursing.
By the way, one of my father's cousins is a professional bank robber by trade. He's in prison now or has spent some time there, I don't know if he has changed occupations. My uncle was driving a cab, a mercedes, he too has had a change of trade. So cousin calls uncle for a ride, family right. A police chase ends with the both of them in jail. Since then my uncle has taken up rally driving as a hobby, it too is big in Finland. This uncle is the youngest of three boys, grandma went and fetched him out of jail.
This story also reminds of me of the time my parents were doing the hippy thing. They moved the family from Toronto to the backwoods of northern Ontario, probably were just craving some more birch trees, I recall having one big one that we'd climb in our backyard in Toronto. (I too had two older brothers. And someone had peeled a deep chunk of the bark off the tree. We got a lecture on the importance of a trees bark.) Years later around the time my father became ill the little town bank was robbed. My mom had parked next to it meanwhile shopping at the little store. The police showed up at our house asking about what she had been doing. A good thing they were so hyped that they never asked for her driver's license because at the time she never had one.
