En ny norsk filmklassiker er født! Det vil si – den har kommet dundrende ned fra fjellet. Trolljegeren
kombinerer særnorske kulturbegreper med filmatiske virkemidler vi best
kjenner fra den andre siden av Atlanteren. Dette har gitt et lykksalig
godt resultat. Filmen er både skummel, spennende og vanvittig morsom! Jeg er vilt begeistret!
Jager noe stort
Dette er av typen film du helst ikke skal vite så mye om. Men dette kan avsløres: Mystiske opptak viser et dokumentarteam fra Høgskolen i Volda forfølge en mann på Vestlandet. De mistenker ham for å være krypskytter på jakt etter bjørn. Det viser seg at Hans (Otto Jespersen) jager noe mye større. Han påstår i hvert fall det.
Filmteamet overtaler ham til å la dem være med, noe som skal vise seg å ikke være så lurt. ANMELDELSE: Cloverfield - monsterfilm i New York
Fakta blir hemmeligholdt
Regissør og manusforfatter André Øvredal takker de som leste eventyr for ham som barn i rulleteksten. Det gjør jeg, også! Filmen renner nemlig over av fantasifulle forklaringer om hva som egentlig foregår i den norske fjellheimen.
Vi
står overfor en konspirasjon på høyt plan, der fakta blir hemmeligholdt
for det norske folk. Lattermusklene får god trening etterhvert som det
ene etter det andre forholdet avdekkes, ofte rotfestet i ekte sannheter.
Ikke bare skummel
Manuset er smart skrevet i en original ramme. Man kan selvsagt trekke klare paralleller til The Blair Witch Project, den amerikanske liksom-dokumentaren som ble en enorm suksess i 1999, men Trolljegeren utmerker seg på mange flere områder enn bare å være skummel. Øvredal
slenger blant annet ut aktuelle kommentarer om alt fra monstermaster
til klimaendringer. Dette gjøres i en krevende form, der historien
fortelles gjennom tilsynelatende spontane opptak.
Ambisjonsnivået er høyt, men denne filmen sitter på toppen av Galdhøpiggen! (Anmeldelsen fortsetter under bildet) Filmteamet og jegeren i Trolljegeren. (Foto: SF Norge AS)
Hysterisk morsomt
Otto
Jespersen kunne knapt ha spilt rollen sin bedre. Trolljegeren Hans er
som skapt for hans bitende humor, avlevert med en slepen og nesten
arrogant mine. Hans er ingen komiker, men måten han
uttrykker rimelig drøye setninger på, gjør det hysterisk morsomt. (- En
jotne på langtur, det er ikke bra).
Filmteamet spilles av Glenn Erland Tosterud, Tomas Alf Larsen og Johanna Mørck,
og fungerer strålende som våre representanter i filmens virkelighet. De
gjør alt mer ekte, selv i de eventyrligste situasjoner.
Kom deg på kino!
André Øvredal vant Filmpolitiets kortfilmpris i 2009 (for Brukerstøtte). Nå må jeg finne opp en langfilmpris, for den skal han jaggu få! SE: Birger Vestmo deler ut Filmpolitiets Kortfilmpris til Brukerstøtte! Min klare oppfordring er altså: kom deg på kino i en viss fart og se Trolljegeren! I hvert fall før Hollywood eventuelt skulle finne på å lage en remake.
Men jeg ser ikke helt hvordan denne historien skulle fungere bedre noe annet sted enn i norsk fjell og natur!

TROLL Fact Sheet
TROLL (Monstrus Norvegicus)
As opposed
to common folklore, troll is an animal species. Trolls are
characterized by their long noses which are used to smell their enemies
over a great distance. They communicate with each other through simple
sounds and we estimate their level of intelligence to be that of a dog.
Most trolls get as old as 500 while the oldest can be up to 1200 years
old.
Trolls as a species consist of 2 main groups: skogstroll
(forest trolls) and bergtroll (mountain trolls). There’s also been
reports of seatrolls, but these are outside of TST's area of
responsibility so there is very little information about them.
Most
trolls are covered in fur, though other nature elements can be found on
their body like, shrub growth, moss. Bergtrollet has a stone surface on
the upper part of its body. Older trolls are often covered in a thin
calcium layer as a result of sun exposure during its lifetime.
Since
trolls spend most of their life inside mountains in complete darkness
they can't stand sunlight and are able to survive on an extremely low
Vitamin D count. If exposed to sunlight, the UVB-rays will cause an
explosive Vitamin D production in their body which again leads to a
hyper reaction in the bone mass causing them to either crack or become
calcified. Therefore even strong tanning lamps can be dangerous for
trolls.
There's 1000 troll distributed on several different
groups (tribes). These are held in place at 11 TST controlled
territories like Finnmarksvidda
Some common trolls:
Bergtroll (Mountain Trolls):
1. Jotne:
Giant trolls. Can reach a height of 100 m. Peaceful. Lives inside
various mountains in Jotunheimen and rarely comes out. Plagued by a weak
immune system and gets sick easily.
2. Dovregubbe:
Pack animal. Situated around Dovrefjell. Feeds of shrubs, granite and
musk (it's an animal). Dislikes the forest. Good at rock digging and is
responsible for hollowing out most mountains at Dovre.
3. Raglefant:
5 m tall. Weighs up to 15 ton because of a heavy rock mass around its
body. Thrives alone. Very strong and aggresive. Hoards food, often
cattle, to survive long stays inside the mountain.
Skogstroll (Forest Trolls):
1. Tusseladd:
Thrives in both forest and mountain. Has 3 heads, 9 at the most. Most
of them are situated around Dovre, though one might find them elsewhere
as well. Struggles with schizophrenia and food consumption. Tusseladden
is very thin, borderline anorexic.
2. Harding: About 15 m tall,
resides in Sogn og Fjordane. Very mobility impaired as their body is
very calcified. This makes them able to wander outside on a heavily
overcast day.
3. Rimtusse: Our most common troll. They're 3 m in
diameter and almost as round as a ball. Despite their shape they're able
to move quite, lives of sheep and cows. They live in the valley
surrounded by mountains close to Jotunheimen, though they can also be
observed near Finnmarksvidda and in Telemark.
Trolls normally
stay far away from humans and hides well in the nature. They can get
aggressive though if they feel threatened and each year about 20 hikers
disappear. Unlike most of the troll hunters reports, there's no evidence
supporting the claim that Christians are more vulnerable to attack than
others, though this is a priority research area.
Sources used for the above english translation are from Link: Google Translate and the only other translation that I could find so far on the net was from user Link: Dead_Pleasures I'm very appreciated, Thank You !
I'm hoping that the Norwegian PR team will release an English Version because
Google Translate was kinda uncertain the correct words. Any further
translations of the 3 TST Documents is welcomed, please email me, Thanks
:)
Field Notes: Translation and info gathering still a work in progress . . .
Trolls as a species consist of 2 main groups: A) Skogstroll (Forest Trolls) B) Bergtroll (Mountain Trolls) C) Some reports of Seatrolls
A) Skogstroll (Forest Trolls) Woodland 1. Tusseladd: Tosserlads: Has 3 Heads 2. Harding: 3. Rimtusse: they are about human size on scale.
B) Bergtroll (Mountain Trolls) 1.
Jotne: Jötnar, The massive Jotner, Giant trolls, Gargantuan, which is a
mountain troll reaching 80 meter above the snow covered landscape. 2. Dovregubbe: Dovregubben, the Mountain Kings, Pack animal, Cave Trolls 3. Raglefant: Ringlefinch = Under the Bridge Troll, most notable trait is their explosive temperament.
For the movie, Øvredal created four species of trolls
For my TST fan logos: On
the english subtitles it said TSS but I was going by the Norway PST
website Norway and English logos as my guide and on the Troll Forms it
has TST
Trollvettreglene
Trollvettreglene based on Fjellvettreglene The Norwegian Mountain Code I found a really nice Norway site Link: My Little Norway
Monster Master = Power Lines used as Electric Fences
The Norwegian troll code ( Trollvettreglene) followed in the Norwegian The troll hunter DVD.
The Norwegian Troll Code by ~Snow-sauria :) Thanks :)
1. Do not stay in the forest after sunset.
2. Do not go on a trip if you're a Christian. Never.
3. Be equipped against troll even on short trips. Always bring with you a strong ultraviolet light.
4. No not walk so fast that you begin to sweat.
5. Be skeptical to large trees covered in moss.
6. Do not listen to "experienced" hikers. They know nothing about trolls.
7. Walk alone, you never know who is a Christian.
8. Turn back if you meet 'monstermaster'. Sensible retreat is no disgrace.
9. If you meet a troll, dig yourself down and wait for sunrise.
Hans, trolljegeren: "Those may look like normal power lines, but they're electric fences to keep the trolls at bay."
Hans, lovec trolov: "Možno vyzerajú ako obyčajné elektrické vedenie, ale sú to ploty, ktoré nás chránie pred trolmi."
What is the scariest thing about Norway? Prices? Almost. Little
sunlight? Not quite. Crazy Norwegians? That too, but: it's TROLLS.
But don't get scared, there are people, who can ensure our safety if we
ever get there for a fjordsighting holiday. Meet Hans, the fashion savvy
(love the sweater with Norwegian pattern) grampa and the only expert in
trollranging field in the whole Norway.
The actor is actually well-known in Norway for his TV comedy performances.
Hans is a tired but very charismatic professional, who is reluctant to
discuss his job with the young students of journalism but they insist on
stalking him, so the lonely hunter cracks and starts spilling all the
secrets about his profession. Did you know that he isn't even paid for
the overtimes he does at night? That's crazy considering he works at
night a lot. I'm absolutely appalled at the non-existing unions for the
poor trollhunter, considering all the good things I usually hear about
the Scandinavian countries and their living standard.
The document is very similar to those you might see on the Discovery
channel. One gets all the scientific explanations about the life of
trolls and even some secret practices of The Troll Security Service for
which Hans works. Did you know they are supposed to fill out forms about
every troll they kill? Because trolls can sometimes wander out of their
territories. Then Hans comes and has to slay the poor creature with
dose of light, which, as everybody knows, kills them effectively. That's
the reason trolls don't do any selfies. Nor do they pose for pictures.
And because they are too ugly.
The film works
with legends and fairy-tales (can trolls be classified as fairies?)
known to Norwegian audience, but much less to other people. There is a
parody of the prince in a a shiny armor and three sheep story for
example. So if you know something about the Norwegian folklore, you'll
have time of your life.
How come the Norwegian government keeps this huge and horrible secret
from its innocent unknowing subjects? This is the main reason the
students decides to make the documentary. Plus they hope somebody will
pay good bucks for it.
Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg: [Speaking at a televised
press conference] Few people find power grids attractive. I certainly
don't. Norwegians are pro-electricity, but against power lines. That
won't work in the long run. Norway has trolls, so more power lines are
needed. That's just the way it is.
Young journalists have also very good film-making skill so you'll get to see scenes like the one above or the one below:
There's one thing that bugs me now. We, in Slovakia, have the power lines too...
Čo je tá úplne najstrašnejšia vec na Nórsku? Ceny? Skoro. Málo svetla?
Ešte iné. Blázniví Nóri? Aj to, ale teraz mám na mysli TROLOV.
Ale nebojte sa, existujú ľudia, ktorí zaistia našu bezpečnosť, keby sme
sa tam náhodou vybrali pozrieť si fjordy. Vážení, toto je Hans, módny
znalec (sveter s nórskym vzorom nemá chybu) a zároveň jediný expert na
trolesníctvo v celom Nórsku.
Tento herec je v Nórsku veľmi známy svojimi komickými výstupmi v televízii.
Unavený, ale veľmi charizmatický profesionál Hans sa na začiatku nechce
rozprávať s mladými študentami žurnalistiky o svojej práci, no tí ho
prenasledujú a tak chudáka osamelého Hansa zlomia a ten začne prezrádzať
všetky tajomstvá jeho profesie. Napadlo by vás, že nemá zaplatené nočné
nadčasy? Je to šialené vzhľadom na to, koľko pracuje v noci. Som úplne
zhrozená z absencie protitrolých odborov, veď takéto veci v
škandinávskych krajinách obyčajne perfektne fungujú.
Nedávno sa vyskytli isté nehody a incidenty a ich príčinou sú trolovia.
Dokument sa veľmi podobá tým, ktoré môžete vidieť na Discovery. Divákovi
sa dostane všetkých možných vedeckých vysvetlení a faktov zo života
trolov a fungovania Trolej služby, pre ktorú Hans pracuje. Vedeli ste,
že po zneškodnení trola treba vyplniť špeciálne dokumenty? Teda trolovia
niekedy prekročia hranice svojho teritória. Potom príde Hans a musí ich
nešťastníkov odstreliť dávkou svetla, ktorá ako všetci vieme, ich
efektívne zneškodní. Preto sa trolovia nikdy nefotia na facebookový
profil. Ani na nijaký iný. A ešte preto, že sú veľmi škaredí.
Film pracuje s
legendami a rozprávkami, ktoré sú veľmi známe nórskemu divákovi, ale
ostatným divákom oveľa menej. Vo filme je aj scéna, ktoré paroduje
rozprávku o princovi v naleštenom brnení, ktorý poľoval na trola a
použil tri ovce ako návnadu. Ak viete čo-to o nórskom folklóre, tak si
tento film náramne užijete.
Ako to, že nórska vláda tají pred svojimi nič netušiacimi občanmi toto
obrovské a hrozivé tajomstvo? To je dôvod, prečo sa študenti rozhodnú
natočiť tento dokument. To a ešte dúfajú, že im za to niečo pôjde do
vrecka.
Možno si myslíte,
že sa pozeráte na obyčajné elektrické vedenie, ale v skutočnosti sú to
elektrické ploty na ochranu pred trolmi.
Nórsky premiér Jens Stoltenberg na tlačovej konferencií: Málokto
považuje elektrické vedenie za atraktívne. Ja tiež nie. Nóri sú za
elektrinu, ale proti takémuto elektickému vedeniu. Ale bez neho by sme z
dlhodobého hľadiska nemohli fungovať. V Nórsku sa vyskytujú trolovia a
preto je elektrické vedenie potrebné. Tak sa jednoducho veci majú.
Mladí novinári sú šikovní aj pri zaobchádzaní s kamerou, takže si môžete vychutnať zábery ako ten vyššie a nižšie:
Teraz mi vŕta v hlave jedna vec. My tu na Slovensku máme tiež podobné elektrické vedenie...

Den nye norske vet du, den norske dokumentaren om troll. Troll? ''Ai ai ai poff'' får en helt ny mening. Trolljegeren er en morsom, skummel og spennende film. Ja, alt på engang.
Tre studenter fra Volda skal lage en dokumentar om bjørnedrapene
som skjer i nærområdet. Da de møter den merkelige mannen Hans (Otto
Jespersen), finner de snart ut at det ikke handler om bjørner, men om
noen enda verre rovdyr. Den innesluttet mannen har vanskeligheter for å
åpne seg for ungdommen, men etter de følger etter ham med kamera og en
plagsom reporter overgir Hans seg, og Volda-gjengen får være med på
jegerens eventyr inn i skog og mark. Her får de ett innblikk i hva som
egentlig foregår i den norske natur. Egentlig dreier det seg om
myndighetene som vil føre den norske befolkning bak lyset. Det er ingen
som skal vite om de store beistene.
Vi møter Bergtroll, Skogstroll og Raglefanter, noen med rabbis og
andre med tre hoder. Det eneste jeg lurer på er hvor det store beistet
blir av om dagen? Troll tåler nemlig ikke sol, da kommer det bobler i
blodet dens, blodårene blir for små og den får uutholdelige smerter. Men
ett så stort troll. Det må jo være 70 meter høyt og være ett halvt
årtusen gammelt. Det jo ganske godt gjort at ingen har sett det enda. Er
ikke Dovre ett ganske kjent turområdet? DNT har jo hytte der. Hmm...
Vel, regissør, André Øvredal har likevel fått til en morsom og
spennende film om typisk norsk folkeeventyr. Han har med de tre bukkende
bruse og andre elementer som glir rett inn i de tradisjonelle
eventyrene. Du skvetter litt her og der, samtidlig som du får deg en god
latter av Otto Jespersen. Selv om rollen han spiller, Hans, ikke er en
typisk morokar, leverer Jespersen replikkene på en sær og humoristisk
måte. Du ler jo nesten bare av å se på ham. Filmteamet fra Volda spilles
av Thomas Atle Larsen, Glenn Erland Tosterud og Johanna Mørck som gjør
en rimelig god jobb på å spille ikke-skuespillere. Selv om vi har sett slike liksom dokumentarer før, som i den populære filmen The Blair Witch Project fra ni og nitti, synes jeg Trolljegeren
klarer å ta det ett hakk lengre. Her er det ikke bare hylende ungdom i
skogen, her får du mye mer. Filmen er god den, men om troll finnes? Tja,
de gjør det hvert fall i Trolljegeren. Snipp, snapp, snute så er
eventyret ute. Se den på kino du.
