why . well and where do we start . the people know a snapphanar call themselves friskyttar and mean free shooter snapphane be the degrading expression use by the swedish . the costune designer should be put in jail and or at least in historical style education and for use typical 18th century clothing and which be a mistake often see by role playing amateur with no money and little knowledge of history and but this be suppose to be svt huge expensive great big mega xmas project . hello . the script be a disaster and the plot be ridiculously easily foreseen and the dialog be embarrassingly bad . there be so many historical error and anachronism that line them all up here would probably crash the imdb disc space . artistically i be ok with anachronism and but the production team should always be aware of what they do and why . seem like snapphanar be make by a bunch of teenager whose sole historical knowledge come from many a late night play dungeon and dragon . which be a wonderful way of start an interest in history but it just would not do a full education . dramatically there be also a lot of error in continuity as well a in credibility . example represent the soldier guard the coach with the royal treasure chest seem to be totally unaware of the noise and flicker fire light come from the village where the rebel have start a riot . and svart stina and what can you say . her outfit on the royal ball be not exactly what one would call discreet . sigh snapphanar be of course to be regard a a fantasy and a fictitious tale woven and embroider upon the cloth of authentic history . but it have be do by people lack too much knowledge . a non swede would probably not notice and but the use of scanian accent in this project be unfortunately and and as many time before and a total disgrace to it audience . the only actor who actually know how to speak scanian harald leander and per lasson and to mention some use accent from a totally different area and but at least they know how to speak it and unlike jörgen persson they also know act . the leading actor and however and andré sjöberg and malin morgan ( former larsson ) and well educate and all and doesn not seem to have have very much time to learn their character way of talk and there be load of mal functious pronunciation that really hurt the ear and be very hard to understand also for a scanian . those scanians live in the göinge area must feel totally lose and quite embarrass i do not think they recognize much . for once it easy to understand those otherwise pompous stockholmers who claim that they possibly just can not understand scanian sw3edish . i think not even scanians understand the gibberish urging from the mouth of svart stina and nil get . sad . accord to svt ( swedish television ) homepage the shooting of the entire miniseries take 47 day . that quite fast for such a prestigious project . especially consider the fact that the director have work 2 and a half year on create the series . seem like 90 % of the time and financial resource have be spend on special effect . theyre quite nice . but nothing that we haven not already see in film like lotr and gladiator and braveheart a. s. o. the same thing could be say about the music that and stuff like a plum pudding with movie score clichés and with some small exception sound like a total ripoff from anything produce by jerry bruckheimer . very where eagle dare and very u. s. marine corp and very hollywood and very full of sound and fury signify nothing . pity .
