"Private Detective Claes Ekman - www.bureau-ekman.com - solves [as expected] the football hooligan case concerning the vandalized statue of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The case was unsolved for a few years, albeit Mr Ekman provides all the necessary and irrefutable / admissible evidence, admitted and palpable motive - even the 'corpus delicti' - and more... Do count and measure the cost of impunity! The full and whole movie will be coming to a cinema screen near you by March 2025.
'One needs power - absolute power - to prescribe what is truth and what is idiocy,' as Thomas Mann formulated it. Having a moral myopia on hand, most people choose to distance themselves and retreat into family life, like hostages. The state, however, stubbornly insists on a contract with the individual - against the family - and most submissively agree to it because anything else would cause a serious internal dissonance with their inner self, which still identifies strongly with the state.
And then there is sports, with a certain 'fons et origo': a corporatism, a clan-style environment... We all know how much football matters - and how little. A football manager once said that "football is a matter of life and death". A feted football team owner thence retorted: "It's more important than that," adding, "it is enrapturing but only a game, and meant to be fun. Assuring people that defeat is okay can empower them to take risks, thus making them likelier to succeed in general life. As much as winning, sport teaches you how to lose, and carry on."
Great men pass by silently. We live in a world in which the media makes morons famous people. Is it that exquisite balance of being really fun and deeply serious at the same time? This element of surprise 'can definitely be a secret sauce'. As an investigator I've realized there is physical bravery and there's courage. And they are quite different things. As a detective I finally understand what it is all about: being a doer rather than a talker, a fighter rather than an observer.
In dire straits, tempers fray, truths are told, feelings run high and out of control, however, renowned Bureau Ekman remains steely cold and calculating. Our kindness should not be mistaken for weakness. Though, our prestige and modus operandi can not survive without some mystery. Familiarity mostly breeds discomfort and envious-driven emulation.
As for the mulishness of Bureau Ekman's private detectives / private investigators, we consider smart stubbornness a positive quality rather than the 'strong-arm manhood style' often associated with ruffians from various quarters. Most private detective / private investigator cases are 'Wars of Attrition', sometimes or often the defeated defeated and the victor lost.
Most secrets are heavily overvalued. The game today is to verify information, not to steal secrets. 'Seek and ye shall find.'
