Sweded Film Making

Inspired by the film Be Kind Rewind, we were given the task of creating a 'Sweded' film of our choosing. The term 'Sweded' actually comes from the film Be kind rewind itself. In the film, Jerry (Jack Black) accidentally magnetically wipes all of the VCR tapes in the rental store called 'Be Kind Rewind'. Mike (Mos Def) quickly discovers the disaster, and is further pressed when a customer wants to rent Ghostbusters. To prevent them from reporting a problem to Mr. Fletcher, the store owner, Mike comes up with an idea: as the customer has never seen the movie, he proposes to recreate the film using himself and Jerry as the actors and cheap special effects hoping to fool her. Word of mouth spreads of the inadvertently hilarious results of Mike and Jerry's filming, and soon the store is seeing more requests for such movies. Mike and Jerry quickly pass off the movies as being "sweded", insisting the films came from Sweden and thus able to demand long wait times and higher costs for the rental. The term "sweded" has been adopted as a slang term for a cheap spoof remake of any film or film trailer. For our version of a Sweded film, I think the following films would be good to Swede:
  • Inception
  • Shrek
  • Fast and Furious
  • Ice Age
  • Transformers
