Just re-watched #Sisu in advance of #Sisu2 due to be released on 11/21, the same day that #Wicked2 is due to be released too.

Sisu is a crazy movie about a Finnish war hero who gives up fighting the war vs the Nazis in order to become a gold miner, who strikes it rich but then loses his gold haul to a platoon of Nazis & then recovers it.

In Finish, sisu means: "an extraordinary determination in the face of extreme adversity, and courage that is presented typically in situations where success is unlikely. It expresses itself in taking action against the odds, and displaying courage and resoluteness in the face of adversity; in other words, deciding on a course of action, and then adhering to it even if repeated failures ensue."

There a lot of unplausible & totally unbelievable bloody scenes in the movie, the point of which is that the main character will never give up, but it is wholly entertaining just the same.

I hope that Sisu2 is just as good.
