Olli Mäki’nin bu kadar mutlu olmasını sağlayan şey ne? Birkaç gün sonra Finlandiya boks tarihinin en önemli maçına çıkacak olması mı? Hayır. Bütün medyanın gözbebeği, ülkesinin gururu haline gelmesi mi? Hiç sanmıyoruz. Raija’nın ona içtenlikle gülümsemesi olabilir, ama belki. Olli Maki’nin En Mutlu Günü, kariyerinin en önemli müsabakasına çıkmak üzere olan ve bununla hiç ilgilenmeyen bir boksörün hikâyesini siyah-beyazın melankolisiyle bezeyerek anlatıyor. Bu, benzerine pek az rastlanan türden bir spor filmi. Çünkü aşk, hikâyenin bağlamındaki daha gözde meselelerden her anında rol çalıyor.

The director Lauri Nurkse tells that Veijarit is a film about "arjensietokyvyttömyys" (= inability to tolerate everyday life) and about the Peter Pan complex. The main actor Mikko Leppilampi says it's about "kolkyttoistavuotiaat" (= thirtyeenagers = people of thirty behaving like teenagers). An immediate reference point is the commedia all'italiana of the 1950s and the 1960s, the black comedy often exposing the infantile stage of development of the Italian male. Saku and Ässä are anti-heroes, but we never fail to sense the humanity behind their shallow and crazy ways. Veijarit is a satire and a parody of a superficial way of life, but there is a vitality in the protagonists that we feel can lead them to a more meaningful stage of existence after the prolonged youth full of sound and fury. There is a motif of transcendence in the imagery of flying: will the balloons carry me or will they burst.
