A very loose presentation of the real world events, #StockholmBloodbath tells of the actual massacre of nearly 100 Swedish people by Christian II. However, it is a highly dramatized retelling through the eyes of two orphaned sisters seeking revenge. A solid, bloody action film. 4/5🏹

Depiction of Stockholm Bloodbath Soon after the events of the Stockholm Bloodbath, Gustav Vasa had a series of images made, here represented by two scenes from Padt-Brugge's engraving from 1676, based on a woodcut by Kort Steinkamp and Hans Kruse (Antwerp 1524) To the left we see the executioner raise his axe to decapitate Vincens Henningsson, one of the two bishops. The body in the foreground is that of bishop Mattias Gregersson; he has already been decapitated and in the lower right corner of the scene the mitre-clad head can be partially seen. The scene on the right depicts the exhumation of Sten Sture the Younger's corpse and henchmen carrying off this and other decapitated bodies to burn at the heretic's stake on Södermalm. These images have an obvious political and propagandistic goal. He wanted to depict Christian II of Denmark as a merciless tyrant.

The Stockholm Bloodbath marked Christian II’s legacy forever. In Denmark, he became known as “Christian the Tyrant.” What would Scandinavia had been like if he kept a cooler head?

I really liked #StockholmBloodbath.
It’s a timely reminder that the cruelty of Tyranny is nothing new.
Plus, it has a happy ending.
La película #StockholmBloodbath es una extrañísima mezcla de drama solemne y comedia negra que no termina de funcionar. Locamente irreverente y esclava de su violencia estilizada. Visualmente impactante y con un reparto carismático, pero sin demasiado peso ni equilibrio final.
