The Stranger

Its a movie about a subject that captivates me And I can see that it also captivates the world and people and has done it at all times It is the meeting with the stranger Why is it so difficult to relate to those whos not like ourselves We constantly divide the world into us against them Each time we meet a new person we define ourselves in contrast to the other We do not look at what connects us but what separates us It seems like something that is pervasive not just for Denmark Europe and the US but in every possible society and culture in the world at all times It is a common human condition that we have endless difficulty in dealing with the stranger With this movie I want to ask a single question that sets the world on fire It is an exploration of my own wonder why the encounter with the stranger is so explosive and can make seemingly sensible people like myself and others mad
