1 00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:07,000 Downloaded from YTS.MX 2 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000 Official YIFY movies site: YTS.MX 3 00:03:25,747 --> 00:03:30,293 When I read this script, I spontaneously thought 4 00:03:30,627 --> 00:03:33,255 that this was something very different 5 00:03:33,588 --> 00:03:35,549 from what I did earlier. 6 00:03:35,882 --> 00:03:38,343 Because I had thrown away my clothes 7 00:03:38,677 --> 00:03:42,264 and that I got my roles, more or less, for my body, of course, 8 00:03:42,597 --> 00:03:47,686 and I was no driven actor. After a couple of movies, 9 00:03:48,103 --> 00:03:51,106 this was still what I wanted. 10 00:03:51,565 --> 00:03:57,738 I was also a cover girl doing shoots for Penthouse 11 00:03:58,071 --> 00:03:58,989 and Lui and so on. 12 00:03:59,322 --> 00:04:03,618 But I felt that it was movies I thought I wanted to keep on doing. 13 00:04:05,370 --> 00:04:09,875 This was kind of a revenge I could do on the other movies 14 00:04:10,208 --> 00:04:10,959 I had done. 15 00:04:11,293 --> 00:04:13,879 Because this one was so very different. 16 00:04:14,588 --> 00:04:18,884 And I did not really reflect over the fact that it was violent, 17 00:04:19,301 --> 00:04:25,265 black and dark. 18 00:04:26,099 --> 00:04:29,936 I just thought that this role suits me great. 19 00:04:30,270 --> 00:04:36,860 Because it reminded me a bit of myself and my own life experiences. 20 00:04:37,194 --> 00:04:44,451 I felt at home in the role and what Vibenius also had noted 21 00:04:44,785 --> 00:04:49,247 is that I am pretty lousy at lines. 22 00:04:49,623 --> 00:04:54,085 Therefore, he made this girl mute in the movie. 23 00:04:54,503 --> 00:04:57,464 That was good for me, because then you took away that obstacle, 24 00:04:58,048 --> 00:05:04,387 so I could set focus on the physical acting. 25 00:05:05,055 --> 00:05:08,016 That I by now was very good at. 26 00:05:08,350 --> 00:05:11,353 I do not think he wrote this role for me. 27 00:05:11,686 --> 00:05:16,316 Why he chose me, I think, depends on 28 00:05:16,650 --> 00:05:19,277 that I by this time was very famous. 29 00:05:19,611 --> 00:05:22,405 After all, I was the most famous cover girl in Sweden. 30 00:05:22,739 --> 00:05:25,867 I had also done Rötmanad, 31 00:05:26,201 --> 00:05:28,954 a movie with one of that time's most famous directors, 32 00:05:29,287 --> 00:05:30,372 Janne Haldoff. 33 00:05:30,705 --> 00:05:35,085 He created my role in a very ingenious way, I think. 34 00:05:35,418 --> 00:05:38,296 He let me practice karate. 35 00:05:38,630 --> 00:05:42,843 I learned about weapon handling and driving, 36 00:05:43,176 --> 00:05:45,220 because I did not have a driving license at this time. 37 00:05:45,554 --> 00:05:50,976 In some way, I floated into the role in a very natural way 38 00:05:51,309 --> 00:05:52,477 and good way. 39 00:05:52,811 --> 00:05:57,107 I became Madeleine or Frigga, that was her name at a later time. 40 00:06:08,368 --> 00:06:12,122 The thing that I was going to be one-eyed for most of the movie 41 00:06:12,622 --> 00:06:15,917 made me walk with this patch. 42 00:06:16,251 --> 00:06:20,547 Not out around people, but at home, I always had the patch 43 00:06:20,881 --> 00:06:26,219 on to get used to the distance control 44 00:06:26,553 --> 00:06:28,513 that gets when you got a patch on your eye. 45 00:06:28,972 --> 00:06:33,894 Hi, my name is Bo Sunnefeldt, and I'm a fairly new 75 year-old. 46 00:06:34,603 --> 00:06:42,360 In late autumn 1972 -- that is almost a half a centrury ago -- 47 00:06:42,694 --> 00:06:46,239 I participated in the recording of the movie Thriller. 48 00:06:46,573 --> 00:06:50,994 That I ended up there was because I was a part of Sweden's 49 00:06:51,328 --> 00:06:56,666 first stuntman group, called Action Man Stunt Team. 50 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,545 Lead by a guy named Jan Kreigsman. 51 00:07:00,879 --> 00:07:03,256 Jan was very innovative 52 00:07:03,590 --> 00:07:11,806 and saw a space for stuntmen in TV and movie production in Sweden. 53 00:07:12,140 --> 00:07:15,769 When it comes to the movie Thriller, 54 00:07:17,103 --> 00:07:24,152 the idea was that Frigga was going to shoot me with a shotgun. 55 00:07:24,486 --> 00:07:27,948 So the audience would really get chills. 56 00:07:28,281 --> 00:07:33,954 In different stunt scenes, we used a high speed camera. 57 00:07:34,412 --> 00:07:38,667 Which means you can film everything in ultra rapid. 58 00:08:00,814 --> 00:08:04,401 I just knew my part In this, 59 00:08:04,734 --> 00:08:07,237 I had no clue on the story in general. 60 00:08:07,570 --> 00:08:12,492 I come there in the morning and meet the guys of the film making. 61 00:08:12,826 --> 00:08:22,419 They say, "We want you to stay up there and get shot by Frigga, 62 00:08:22,752 --> 00:08:24,379 and you fall down here." 63 00:08:24,713 --> 00:08:26,673 It was a concrete floor. 64 00:08:28,299 --> 00:08:32,178 I figured it was about six meters high. 65 00:08:35,265 --> 00:08:38,435 They probably saw that I was a bit pale on my nose. 66 00:08:39,102 --> 00:08:44,733 So they said, "Don't worry, we built it up with empty cartons,” 67 00:08:45,066 --> 00:08:46,901 and he held up his hand like this. 68 00:08:47,235 --> 00:08:49,571 It was over two meters high. 69 00:08:49,904 --> 00:08:56,202 "So come back in an hour or so and it will be done." 70 00:08:56,536 --> 00:09:02,250 When I came there I saw that it was not like that, 71 00:09:02,584 --> 00:09:03,960 but it was like this. 72 00:09:04,669 --> 00:09:08,506 And you did not want to show you were weak, 73 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,968 but she probably saw I was a bit pensive. 74 00:09:12,302 --> 00:09:16,097 Then they said, "Sorry, we were out of cartons." 75 00:09:16,765 --> 00:09:17,682 Okay. 76 00:09:48,963 --> 00:09:52,801 I was quite alone as a stuntman in Sweden. 77 00:09:53,134 --> 00:09:57,472 It was me first, then it became Jan Kreigsman and me, 78 00:09:57,806 --> 00:10:00,433 and after that, Dan Linde came as well. 79 00:10:02,185 --> 00:10:07,065 It was only the three of us, so there were not many to choose from for Bo. 80 00:10:07,357 --> 00:10:11,402 I was not so satisfied afterwards, because I thought it looked so unreal 81 00:10:11,736 --> 00:10:15,323 when you walked around in super slow motion. 82 00:10:15,657 --> 00:10:19,619 Then it came out a long snake with blood from the mouth. 83 00:10:20,078 --> 00:10:22,497 So it took forever before you hit the ground. 84 00:10:22,831 --> 00:10:28,628 I thought it was almost excessive, but that's a matter of taste. 85 00:11:21,639 --> 00:11:24,809 There you go, little cutie. 86 00:11:26,603 --> 00:11:28,521 So, here is how it looks. 87 00:11:31,858 --> 00:11:34,152 You became addicted to heroin, 88 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,448 and not just any amphetamine, 89 00:11:39,324 --> 00:11:42,493 it's the hardest drug that exists. 90 00:11:44,162 --> 00:11:46,664 You have become both physically and mentally dependent. 91 00:11:46,998 --> 00:11:50,251 If you don't get your dose, you die within 48 hours. 92 00:11:51,878 --> 00:11:53,880 But we are not getting into trouble, right? 93 00:11:54,589 --> 00:11:58,176 If you just do as I say, I will get you your two injections a day. 94 00:12:00,553 --> 00:12:04,015 The third movie I did during my career, 95 00:12:05,016 --> 00:12:09,062 I played against Heinz Hopf, and Heinz Hopf was actually - 96 00:12:09,395 --> 00:12:13,566 a very upbeat dramatist at that time. 97 00:12:13,900 --> 00:12:22,742 A very reputable actor. But then he had a villanious look, which fit very well, 98 00:12:24,702 --> 00:12:26,454 especially in Thriller. 99 00:12:26,788 --> 00:12:32,168 So that part was written for him. 100 00:12:34,837 --> 00:12:39,342 Heinz and I came along very well and I think he 101 00:12:39,676 --> 00:12:41,928 was an amazing person. 102 00:12:42,262 --> 00:12:46,766 He was a good support when I made Thriller, 103 00:12:47,100 --> 00:12:51,396 because I did not feel I had that support in Vibenius. 104 00:13:37,859 --> 00:13:42,030 The thing that was a bit typical for this movie 105 00:13:42,363 --> 00:13:46,284 was that he did not cancel the scenes 106 00:13:46,617 --> 00:13:50,455 we filmed at, but all of a sudden people 107 00:13:50,788 --> 00:13:52,832 on the streets or any other place could 108 00:13:53,166 --> 00:13:57,628 simply be at our recording location. 109 00:13:57,962 --> 00:14:00,840 I especially remember one time... 110 00:14:01,174 --> 00:14:07,388 We were filming outside Drottningholm, a castle just outside of Stockholm, 111 00:14:07,930 --> 00:14:13,770 and it was a scene where I was going to slide with the police car 112 00:14:14,103 --> 00:14:19,025 in a parking lot towards a small, narrow avenue. 113 00:14:19,442 --> 00:14:23,279 The photographer had laid down on the ground, 114 00:14:23,613 --> 00:14:29,452 just where I was going to stop the car. I guess I was a good driver 115 00:14:29,786 --> 00:14:31,204 at that time, anyhow. 116 00:14:31,537 --> 00:14:32,955 I did not run him over. 117 00:14:33,289 --> 00:14:38,961 Me, in a full uniform with a black coat, 118 00:14:40,546 --> 00:14:43,257 the gunshot, the patch on my eye, 119 00:14:43,591 --> 00:14:50,348 my whole outfit in the movie. I drive forward, stop, 120 00:14:50,765 --> 00:14:59,190 slams open the doors and take my gunshot pointing in this narrow avenue. 121 00:15:00,942 --> 00:15:04,529 I was not going to shoot, just point. 122 00:15:05,279 --> 00:15:10,952 When I take down my gun, I see people running for their lives. 123 00:15:11,285 --> 00:15:14,789 People really ran for their lives, and of course, 124 00:15:15,123 --> 00:15:20,128 they see this Thriller character coming. 125 00:15:22,046 --> 00:15:25,091 That must have been frightening. 126 00:15:25,425 --> 00:15:30,304 So I understand why people were running for their lives, really. 127 00:15:31,389 --> 00:15:33,266 Then that scene was ready. 128 00:15:33,599 --> 00:15:41,065 After a few days, they called from the Police Authority in Stockholm. 129 00:15:41,399 --> 00:15:44,485 They say they want me to come by the police station, 130 00:15:44,819 --> 00:15:49,323 because you have been reported for illegal threats. 131 00:15:52,034 --> 00:15:58,124 I walked up there, actually had to do it by myself. 132 00:15:58,458 --> 00:15:59,834 You could expect that Vibenius 133 00:16:00,168 --> 00:16:03,379 maybe could come with me and support me a bit at that time. 134 00:16:03,796 --> 00:16:09,886 I was not so old and it was a bit of a hard situation. 135 00:16:10,595 --> 00:16:17,518 I tried to explain to them what it was about and told them. 136 00:16:19,812 --> 00:16:23,483 They actually accepted it and the indictment was dropped. 137 00:16:23,816 --> 00:16:26,402 Back at that time, I was driving car racing 138 00:16:27,236 --> 00:16:31,741 and they asked me if I could help them drive there, 139 00:16:32,074 --> 00:16:37,246 because they were not good drivers in that matter. 140 00:16:37,663 --> 00:16:39,290 And I said yes to that. 141 00:16:39,624 --> 00:16:42,376 I was driving a red Opel 142 00:16:42,710 --> 00:16:49,342 that would crash and I was going to drive into a mountain. 143 00:16:49,675 --> 00:16:51,677 I could not brake, 144 00:16:52,011 --> 00:16:54,430 because you did not want the brake lights to be seen, 145 00:16:54,764 --> 00:16:56,474 so I drove pretty fast 146 00:16:57,016 --> 00:17:00,645 going into that mountain. 147 00:17:00,978 --> 00:17:04,899 All my senses wanted me to go away 148 00:17:05,399 --> 00:17:08,402 and it was really hard to refrain. 149 00:17:08,778 --> 00:17:14,200 Then it hit hard when I drove into that rocky knoll, 150 00:17:14,534 --> 00:17:15,910 or what to name it. 151 00:17:16,202 --> 00:17:22,833 It hit so hard and this thing came from my subconscious, 152 00:17:23,167 --> 00:17:24,460 "Mother," I said. 153 00:17:24,794 --> 00:17:28,839 It felt like standing behind a horse kicking 154 00:17:29,173 --> 00:17:30,883 you right in your chest. 155 00:17:31,259 --> 00:17:36,222 There were actually several ribs going off, it was a hard bang. 156 00:17:36,556 --> 00:17:43,187 I had a pretty strong seat belt and there were marks. 157 00:17:43,729 --> 00:17:50,278 I had bruises outside my chest and several ribs went off. 158 00:17:51,487 --> 00:17:57,285 To be absolutely clear, I say I was one of the most skilled 159 00:17:57,618 --> 00:18:00,580 in this job you call co-driver, 160 00:18:00,913 --> 00:18:05,251 second driver, map reader, in international racing competitions. 161 00:18:05,585 --> 00:18:09,630 It was my job for years and started at Saab, 162 00:18:09,964 --> 00:18:14,343 and also did some freelancing at other car brands. 163 00:18:14,677 --> 00:18:22,059 Eventually, to end under the greatest successes within the Ford Motor Company. 164 00:18:22,393 --> 00:18:28,858 The two biggest victories were in 1970, London-Mexico, 165 00:18:29,191 --> 00:18:36,657 which was a 2,640 mile long rally through Europe and throughout South America, 166 00:18:36,991 --> 00:18:40,536 where we won with Hannu Mikkola, 167 00:18:40,870 --> 00:18:44,332 a Finlander who later became world champion in rally. 168 00:18:44,665 --> 00:18:50,588 We also won the Safari Rally as the first Europeans in 1972, 169 00:18:50,921 --> 00:18:53,132 also on a Ford Escort. 170 00:18:53,466 --> 00:18:59,680 I have also won with "Karlsson pa taket" with Saab 171 00:19:00,014 --> 00:19:05,394 in Montecarlo rally and came first or second in all international rally, 172 00:19:05,728 --> 00:19:07,313 over the whole world, I can say. 173 00:19:07,647 --> 00:19:10,483 How did you get in contact with Thriller and Vibenius? 174 00:19:10,941 --> 00:19:12,943 It was them contacting me 175 00:19:13,277 --> 00:19:20,493 at Ford and the reason was that I was a celebrity 176 00:19:20,826 --> 00:19:25,164 In the motor world, a motor sport profile. 177 00:19:25,498 --> 00:19:30,169 And what else he saw in me, I think only he can answer that. 178 00:19:30,503 --> 00:19:33,464 But that I had a certain driving habit 179 00:19:33,798 --> 00:19:40,888 after all these thousands of miles in high speed, and participated 180 00:19:41,222 --> 00:19:48,771 in other events where I have been an instructor, even for the police. 181 00:19:49,271 --> 00:19:57,988 It was probably that he saw. Plus, we had access to a car 182 00:19:58,322 --> 00:20:01,033 that would fit in this movie, a Ford Escort Mexico. 183 00:20:01,534 --> 00:20:07,998 It's a bit curious, because we won in '70, this London-Mexico-rally, 184 00:20:08,332 --> 00:20:12,920 so Ford had a model made called Escort Mexico, 185 00:20:13,254 --> 00:20:20,469 which happened to have blue primer and then yellow stripes all around. 186 00:20:20,803 --> 00:20:22,722 An animal grip today. 187 00:20:23,055 --> 00:20:25,433 Very sought for these days. 188 00:20:25,766 --> 00:20:29,478 I remember it was mostly up in the so called Rydbo woods, 189 00:20:29,812 --> 00:20:32,356 von Essens marker. 190 00:20:32,690 --> 00:20:40,156 I remember the place well, a gravel road.

Why she wanted such a dreadful revenge on her perpetrator. 230 00:24:29,218 --> 00:24:30,636 I can actually -- 231 00:24:30,970 --> 00:24:34,640 Nowadays, I think these scenes are very justified in the film 232 00:24:34,974 --> 00:24:37,768 for one to understand her acting later. 233 00:24:38,102 --> 00:24:43,774 I think it supplies the film -- 234 00:24:44,775 --> 00:24:48,988 It's simply great for the film, you understand it bettter. 235 00:24:50,864 --> 00:24:55,661 This eye thing has been discussed a lot, 236 00:24:55,995 --> 00:24:58,998 if it's on a real human being or not, 237 00:24:59,498 --> 00:25:02,960 and I try to keep to the version 238 00:25:03,293 --> 00:25:05,671 that I heard when we were filming. 239 00:25:06,171 --> 00:25:14,430 Some people were there when the scalpel was stuck into the eye. 240 00:25:16,473 --> 00:25:20,227 What I heard back then was that Vibenius thought 241 00:25:20,561 --> 00:25:23,230 a doctor at one of Stockholm's bigger hospitals, 242 00:25:23,564 --> 00:25:31,947 Karolinska, and that they just got in a young girl who had commited suicide. 243 00:25:33,115 --> 00:25:37,119 Vibenius and this doctor agreed that they would 244 00:25:37,494 --> 00:25:42,291 record this scene during the night at the hospital, 245 00:25:42,750 --> 00:25:45,044 which was also done. 246 00:25:45,502 --> 00:25:50,966 This young girl got make-up around her eye 247 00:25:51,341 --> 00:25:56,972 and they put a scalpel in the eye. 248 00:26:25,167 --> 00:26:28,670 That is the version I heard back then, 249 00:26:29,004 --> 00:26:32,424 which I later also got confirmed by a reliable person 250 00:26:32,758 --> 00:26:39,223 who was at the recording place when it was done. 251 00:28:47,142 --> 00:28:52,731 We were running on tables and jumping from tables, 252 00:28:53,065 --> 00:28:55,234 and onto a bar counter and trashed everything. 253 00:28:55,567 --> 00:28:58,987 It was balsa wood and breakaway bottles, everything. 254 00:28:59,905 --> 00:29:03,242 It did not last more than maybe four minutes, 255 00:29:03,575 --> 00:29:05,786 then the whole bar was beaten. 256 00:29:06,870 --> 00:29:08,413 It was quite fun to drive, 257 00:29:08,747 --> 00:29:11,583 so I guess it wasn't that bad, because we were out in the sand. 258 00:29:11,917 --> 00:29:15,504 They had built this bar in the sand. 259 00:32:30,115 --> 00:32:34,369 Then Vibenius contacted me after a few years, 260 00:32:34,703 --> 00:32:41,793 thinking about doing Thriller 261 00:32:42,127 --> 00:32:47,757 Part 2, and he brought his clothes and something 262 00:32:48,091 --> 00:32:50,218 and wanted to take pictures of me. 263 00:32:50,594 --> 00:32:54,639 I agreed to that, because I thought, why not? 264 00:32:55,682 --> 00:32:57,601 It could be fun to continue filming. 265 00:32:58,435 --> 00:33:02,272 But after that, I actually did not hear from him. 266 00:33:02,939 --> 00:33:05,066 I don't know what happened. 267 00:34:07,462 --> 00:34:10,674 Another thing that also proves that I really wanted the part 268 00:34:11,007 --> 00:34:13,051 in Thriller was that I barely got paid. 269 00:34:13,468 --> 00:34:17,264 I got 5,000 Swedish crowns 270 00:34:17,639 --> 00:34:25,105 for my performance, plus a small, small, percentage in addition, 271 00:34:25,522 --> 00:34:29,067 as I would get when the film would make a profit. 272 00:34:29,985 --> 00:34:37,158 When he went down to the Cannes festival -- 273 00:34:37,534 --> 00:34:40,203 and I really should have been there -- 274 00:34:40,537 --> 00:34:43,790 and been in the fight on the beach that they had, - 275 00:34:44,124 --> 00:34:48,712 so by many different private reasons, I was not. 276 00:34:49,212 --> 00:34:54,134 When I said no to that, Vibenius directly canceled 277 00:34:54,467 --> 00:34:56,428 this little, small percentage that I was going to get 278 00:34:56,761 --> 00:34:59,723 from the profit of the film, but then it might not have been so profitable. 279 00:35:00,056 --> 00:35:01,725 I guess it did not matter. 280 00:35:54,361 --> 00:35:57,072 Thriller is today completely revalued. 281 00:35:57,405 --> 00:36:02,035 At that time, in the '70s, the movie was -- 282 00:36:02,369 --> 00:36:07,666 It was before its time in many ways, really. 283 00:36:07,999 --> 00:36:14,589 The film was not analyzed in any way like now in later days. 284 00:36:14,923 --> 00:36:21,596 Then in the beginning, in the '70s, the feminists were very prominent 285 00:36:21,930 --> 00:36:22,889 and aggressive. 286 00:36:23,223 --> 00:36:26,351 It was simply a very aggressive movement. 287 00:36:26,685 --> 00:36:31,356 So that this film, I mean, it did not suit its time. 288 00:36:31,690 --> 00:36:34,359 It was wrong and before 289 00:36:34,818 --> 00:36:36,653 its time, you can say. 290 00:36:36,986 --> 00:36:42,701 Because nowadays, when I travel with it, you meet a lot 291 00:36:43,034 --> 00:36:46,413 of young girls that tell you they are feminists 292 00:36:46,746 --> 00:36:48,832 and pay tribute to this film. 293 00:36:49,165 --> 00:36:52,293 Sometimes, I can think it is weird that this film 294 00:36:52,627 --> 00:36:55,088 Is praised just for the violence in it. 295 00:36:55,422 --> 00:36:59,968 I can see that the strongest message of the film 296 00:37:00,343 --> 00:37:03,430 is that this girl is the avenger. 297 00:37:03,763 --> 00:37:05,098 She is no victim, 298 00:37:05,432 --> 00:37:07,892 she is a strong survivor. 299 00:37:08,393 --> 00:37:13,231 I think that is the main message of the film, actually. 300 00:37:13,565 --> 00:37:23,283 In 2006, Rickard contacted me, because there was going to be a retrospective 301 00:37:23,616 --> 00:37:27,912 in Hollywood and we were going there with some movies. 302 00:37:28,246 --> 00:37:30,915 Then something happened 303 00:37:31,666 --> 00:37:37,839 that did not really work out when it came to funding for this visit, 304 00:37:39,048 --> 00:37:45,513 and then Richard was so advanced, 305 00:37:45,847 --> 00:37:50,101 so he contacted the secretary to Quentin Tarantino, 306 00:37:51,144 --> 00:37:59,444 told about our plans, but one chapter was missing to get us there. 307 00:38:00,278 --> 00:38:05,033 This actually ended in that Quentin Tarantino 308 00:38:05,408 --> 00:38:11,039 paid for my stay, and Klubb Super 8 309 00:38:11,498 --> 00:38:17,170 and some people's stay in Hollywood for a week. 310 00:38:17,504 --> 00:38:22,175 At this time, I did not meet Quentin Tarantino. 311 00:38:22,509 --> 00:38:27,514 We went back and I did not think more about that. 312 00:38:27,847 --> 00:38:38,775 In 2013, Inglourious Basterds was premiering at a cinema in Stockholm. 313 00:38:40,693 --> 00:38:44,405 Quentin Tarantino was also in Stockholm at that moment. 314 00:38:44,781 --> 00:38:52,163 And all of a sudden, my phone rings and people from a film company said, 315 00:38:53,206 --> 00:38:59,254 "Quentin Tarantino wants you to come in to Stockholm, 316 00:38:59,587 --> 00:39:01,130 because he really wants to meet you." 317 00:39:01,506 --> 00:39:06,177 The thing that is a bit comical is that by this moment, I did not know 318 00:39:06,511 --> 00:39:08,221 so much of Quentin Tarantino, 319 00:39:08,555 --> 00:39:10,390 and above all not his films. 320 00:39:10,723 --> 00:39:12,934 I had seen Pulp Fiction, 321 00:39:13,268 --> 00:39:20,525 thought it was a violent but very good movie. 322 00:39:20,859 --> 00:39:23,778 That was the only film I had seen by Quentin Tarantino. 323 00:39:24,112 --> 00:39:27,615 And his persona I did not know much about. 324 00:39:27,949 --> 00:39:31,536 Anyway, I packed my bag full. 325 00:39:31,870 --> 00:39:34,247 I thought he wanted some autographs and pictures, 326 00:39:34,581 --> 00:39:35,373 DVDs and such. 327 00:39:35,707 --> 00:39:38,877 I packed my bag full and went in to Stockholm, 328 00:39:39,210 --> 00:39:42,380 and stepped into the Grand Hotel. 329 00:39:43,464 --> 00:39:47,760 Sat down on a couch in the lobby, waiting. 330 00:39:48,136 --> 00:39:54,100 After a while, Quentin Tarantino comes in and he says, 331 00:39:54,434 --> 00:39:56,185 "Yes, that's exactly like I thought,” 332 00:39:56,519 --> 00:39:59,856 and he hugged me and then we sat down and talked. 333 00:40:01,316 --> 00:40:04,193 I don't really know what we were talking about. 334 00:40:04,527 --> 00:40:07,405 But I think it was probably mostly him that was talking. 335 00:40:08,197 --> 00:40:13,661 I thought, well, maybe I am here because he wants my autograph. 336 00:40:13,995 --> 00:40:16,831 So I put out some pictures and wrote an autograph. 337 00:40:17,165 --> 00:40:18,124 Trying to figure out -- 338 00:40:18,458 --> 00:40:23,296 I had made a mushroom video, a mushroom video, 339 00:40:23,630 --> 00:40:26,591 and on that one, I wrote something inventive on and said, 340 00:40:26,925 --> 00:40:28,426 "This I never wrote to anyone else.” 341 00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:30,136 I don't think he was so impressed. 342 00:40:30,470 --> 00:40:32,555 But all of a sudden, he looked at me and said like this, 343 00:40:32,889 --> 00:40:36,309 "Yes, but Christina, you might want my autograph as well?" 344 00:40:36,643 --> 00:40:45,693 Yes, of course, so I took out a DVD of Thriller and there he wrote, 345 00:40:46,027 --> 00:40:48,071 "Thanks for the inspiration,” 346 00:40:48,738 --> 00:40:52,784 and also an American newspaper with an interview, 347 00:40:53,326 --> 00:40:56,496 where he wrote, "I'm your biggest fan." 348 00:40:56,829 --> 00:41:00,541 By then, we wanted to take some pictures together, but he said, 349 00:41:00,875 --> 00:41:04,420 "Yes, but Christina, if you come to the cinema 350 00:41:04,754 --> 00:41:12,428 in a few hours, we could take some pictures outside the cinema instead.” 351 00:41:13,262 --> 00:41:17,475 Yes, then I went forward and he took and put his arm around me, 352 00:41:17,809 --> 00:41:21,354 and he turned in every angle, and I think we stood 353 00:41:21,688 --> 00:41:23,314 there for almost ten minutes. 354 00:41:23,648 --> 00:41:28,194 He made sure everyone was filming, taking pictures, 355 00:41:28,528 --> 00:41:31,322 like it was important for him in some way. 356 00:41:31,739 --> 00:41:37,704 Afterwards, I actually thought that he wanted to give me this in some way, 357 00:41:38,037 --> 00:41:40,415 to tell everyone that okay, 358 00:41:40,748 --> 00:41:43,543 you might not think her films are worth anything, 359 00:41:44,043 --> 00:41:48,715 but I value them highly, and here I stand with Christina Lindberg, 360 00:41:49,048 --> 00:41:50,216 and I stand for it. 361 00:41:50,633 --> 00:41:54,345 That was felt afterwards now when I have seen a lot - 362 00:41:54,679 --> 00:41:56,931 of Quentin Tarantinos films, - 363 00:41:58,099 --> 00:42:01,894 so, I understand to value them in the right way.
