Religion in Sweden - wikipedia Religion in Sweden Jump to : navigation , search Umeå City Church . Religion in Sweden is diversified . Christianity was the religion of virtually all of the Swedish population from the 12th to the early 20th century , but it has rapidly declined throughout the late 20th and early 21st century . In 2015 , legally registered Christians comprised 69.9 % of the total population . Religions in Sweden ( 2015 ) Church of Sweden ( 63.2 % ) Other protestants ( 3.8 % ) Eastern Orthodox Churches ( 1.3 % ) Catholic Church ( 1.2 % ) Other Christian denominations ( 0.3 % ) Islam ( 1.4 % ) Other religions ( 0.3 % ) Unaffiliated ( 28.4 % ) The Lutheran Church of Sweden -- which was the state religion until 2000 -- has a registered membership of 6.1 million Swedish citizens , equal to 61.2 % of the total population . One reason for the high membership might be the fact that until 1996 all newborns with at least one parent being a member of the Church of Sweden were also registered as members of the church . Yet the membership is declining rapidly , about 1 % each year , falling from 95 % in 1970 and 85 % in 2000 . Prior to their Christianisation that became complete around the 12th century , the Swedes practised forms of Norse religion . At first they became part of the Catholic Church ; then , from the 1530s , Sweden switched to Lutheranism as part of the Protestant Reformation which converted most of Germanic Europe ; the Church of Sweden was formed and remained the official religion of the Christian state until the turn of the 21st century . The 21st century brought with itself a rapid decline of Christianity overall , the disestablishment of the Church of Sweden , and the modest growth of other religions , often brought by waves of immigration from outside the country . These last include Islam , Catholicism , Orthodox Christianity , Buddhism , Hinduism and other Eastern religions .

Before the 11th century , Swedes practised Norse religion , worshipping a variety of Germanic deities . An important religious centre was the Temple at Uppsala . The shape and location of this temple is sparsely documented , but it is referenced in the Norse sagas and Saxo Grammaticus ' Gesta Danorum , and is also described by Adam of Bremen . It was probably destroyed by King Ingold I in 1087 during the last known battle between the pagans and the Christians . While Norse religion was officially abandoned with the Christianization of Scandinavia , belief in many spirits of Norse mythology such as tomtar , trolls , elves and dwarves lived on for a long time in Scandinavian folklore . 9th -- 12th century : conversion to Catholicism ( edit ) The historical Vadstena Abbey of the Catholic order of the Bridgettines , founded by Bridget of Sweden . Main article : Christianization of Sweden The oldest evidence of Christian burial sites in Sweden are dated to the 6th century , but they are very few in number . The earliest documented campaign to Christianise the Swedes was made by the monk Ansgar ( 801 -- 865 ) . Making his first visit to Birka in 828 -- 829 , he was granted permission to build a church . In 831 , he returned home and became Archbishop of Hamburg - Bremen , with responsibility for Christianity in the north . Around 850 , he came back to Birka , where the original congregation had been shattered . Ansgar tried to reestablish it , but it only lasted a few years . Christianity first gained a hold in Västergötland , probably due to mercantile ties to the Christian Anglo - Saxon kingdoms in England . Remnants of a 9th - century church building has recently been excavated in Varnhem . The diocese of Skara , which is the oldest diocese in Sweden , emerged under the Archdiocese of Hamburg - Bremen , in the late 10th century . According to Adam of Bremen , the Christian king Olof Skötkonung , who ruled from c. 995 to c. 1022 was forced to limit Christian activities to the western province . When King Stenkil ascended to the throne in 1060 Christianity was firmly established throughout most of Sweden , although the people of Uppland , and probably Sodermanland , resisted the new religion . The last king adhering to the old religion was Blot - Sweyn , who reigned 1084 -- 1087 . A handful of local saints ( canonized on diocesan level before the centralized process became normative in 1170 -- 1200 ) , folk saints and clerics were allegedly martyred as late as the 1120s , most of them in Sodermanland and Uppland . Under the reign of Eric the Saint ( 1150 -- 1160 ) Christianity became an ideological factor of the state , and the First Swedish Crusade took place ; it was a military expedition aimed at converting the Finns to Christianity and conquering Finland as Swedish territory . ( However , no archeological data or written sources seem to support the legend . The diocese and bishop of Finland are not listed among their Swedish counterparts before the 1250s ) . A national church of Sweden was not organized until 1164 , when the first archbishop of Uppsala received his pallium from the archbishop of Lund . Pre-Reformation Swedish Catholic religious leaders -- including Bridget of Sweden , founder of the continuously functioning Catholic Vadstena Abbey -- continue to be held in high regard by the population as a whole . Her nunnery at Vadstena is one of Sweden 's pre-eminent tourist attractions . 16th century : Protestant Reformation ; conversion to Lutheranism ( edit ) Ruins of Alvastra Monastery in Ödeshög . Various ruined medieval Catholic monasteries such as this one stand as testimonies of the appropriation of Catholic properties by the Swedish state during the Protestant Reformation . Main article : Swedish Reformation Shortly after Gustav Vasa was elected king in 1523 , he asked the Pope to confirm Johannes Magnus as Archbishop of Sweden , replacing Gustav Trolle , who had supported the Danish king Christian II and was convicted for treason . When the Pope refused , Gustav Vasa -- he himself a proponent of a `` Renaissance Biblical Humanism '' -- started to promote the Swedish Lutheran reformers Olaus , Laurentius Petri , and Laurentius Andreae . Gustav Trolle was eventually forced into exile , and soon all ecclesiastical property was transferred to the Crown . In 1531 , Laurentius Petri was appointed by the Crown to become the first Lutheran primate of Sweden , and was ordained by five Catholic bishops without papal assent . The ties with Rome were irreversibly cut in 1536 , when Canon Law was abolished . Originally , no changes were made to official church doctrine , and the episcopal organization was retained . Gradually , in spite of popular protests against the introduction of `` Luthery '' , teachings were aligned with continental Lutheranism . Calvinism was , otherwise , refuted as heresy at the synod of Stockholm in 1565 . In order to appease the Holy See , king John III of Sweden , one of Gustav Vasa 's sons , took measures to bring the Church of Sweden to a theological position influenced by George Cassander , but , in the heat of controversy , such a compromise position did not achieve its intent of reunion . However , after his death , his brother , Duke Charles , summoned the Uppsala Synod in 1593 , which declared the Holy Scriptures the sole guideline for faith , with four documents accepted as faithful and authoritative explanations of it : the Apostles ' Creed , the Nicene Creed , the Athanasian Creed , and the unaltered Augsburg Confession of 1530 . The Uppsala Synod also reinstated The Swedish Church Ordinance of 1572 , which remained in use until 1686 . The move put Charles at odds with the heir to the throne , his nephew Sigismund , who was raised in the Catholic faith . Although Sigismund promised to uphold Lutheranism , Duke Charles 's aspirations to power led to the War against Sigismund , a power struggle that was effectively decided at the Battle of Stångebro in 1598 , in favour of Charles and Protestantism . During the era following the Protestant Reformation , usually known as the period of Lutheran Orthodoxy , small groups of non-Lutherans , especially Calvinist Dutchmen , the Moravian Church and Walloons or French Huguenots from Belgium , played a significant role in trade and industry , and were quietly tolerated as long as they kept a low profile . 17th -- 18th century : conversion of the Sami and freedom for Christian minorities ( edit ) The Sami , who originally had their own shamanistic religion , were converted to Lutheranism by Swedish missionaries in the 17th and 18th centuries . Citizens of foreign nations , mainly Russians , were granted freedom to practice Eastern Orthodox Christianity since the Treaty of Stolbovo in 1617 . Anglican and Calvinist foreigners were granted freedom to practice their religions in Stockholm ( 1741 ) and Gothenburg ( 1747 ) . Similar liberties were granted Catholics in 1781 , and an apostolic vicar was sent to Sweden in 1783 . 18th -- 19th century : crackdown on Pietism and enforcement of Lutheranism ( edit ) In order to curb Pietism several royal decrees and parliament acts were issued in the 18th century ; they forbade Swedish citizens to practice any religion besides mandatory Lutheran Sunday mass and daily family devotions . Without the presence of a Lutheran clergyman public religious gatherings were forbidden . It remained illegal until 1860 for Lutheran Swedes to convert to another confession or religion . 19th -- 20th century : liberalisation of all religions ( edit ) In 1860 it became legal to leave the Church of Sweden for the purpose of becoming a member of another officially recognised religious denomination . From 1951 , it became legal to leave the church , without providing any reason . From 1951 to 1977 all religious institutions could only be established with the permission of the Crown . This law was eventually abolished in 1977 .

Protestant Free churches ( edit ) The 19th century saw the arrival of various evangelical free churches , and , towards the end of the century secularism , leading many to distance themselves from church rituals . Leaving the Church of Sweden became legal with the so - called Dissenter Law of 1860 , but only under the provision of entering another denomination . The right to stand outside any religious denomination was established in the law on freedom of religion in 1951 . Today , the Swedish Free Church Council ( Swedish : Sveriges Frikyrkosamråd ) organizes free churches in Sweden , belonging to various Protestant denominations : Calvinist , Pentecostal , and others .

The act of posing as a female figure unmasks Einar 's life - long identification as a woman , who names herself Lili Elbe . This sets off a progression , first tentative and then irreversible , of leaving behind the identity as Einar , which she has struggled to maintain all her life . This takes place as both Lili and Gerda relocate to Paris ; Gerda 's portraits of Lili in her feminine state attract serious attention from art dealers in a way that her previous portraiture had not . It is there that Gerda tracks down art dealer Hans Axgil , a childhood friend of Lili ( whom Lili had kissed when they were young ) . Hans and Gerda 's mutual attraction is a challenge , as Gerda is navigating her changing relationship to Lili ; but Hans ' long - time friendship with and affection for Lili cause him to be supportive of both Lili and Gerda . As Lili 's continued existence presenting as male becomes too much to bear , she starts to seek help from psychologists , but none yields any result , and , in one instance , almost leads her into being committed to an asylum . Eventually , at Hans 's recommendation , Lili and Gerda meet Dr. Kurt Warnekros . Dr. Warnekros explains that he has met several people like her , who are physically male but identify as female , and proposes a new , innovative and controversial solution : male to female sex reassignment surgery . This would entail a two - part procedure that involves first removing Lili 's external genitalia and then , after a period of recovery , fashioning a vagina . He warns Lili and Gerda that it is a very dangerous operation that has never been attempted before , and Lili would be one of the first to undergo it . Lili immediately agrees and , soon after , travels to Germany to begin the surgery . Lili eventually dies of complications from the surgery . The film ends with Gerda and Hans on a hilltop back in Denmark , in front of the five trees Lili had painted . The scarf that Lili had originally given Gerda , and that had subsequently been given back and forth several times , is carried away on the wind , dancing . Cast ( edit ) Eddie Redmayne as Einar Wegener / Lili Elbe ( Lili Elvenes ) Alicia Vikander as Gerda Wegener ( née Gottlieb ) Matthias Schoenaerts as Hans Axgil ( Fernando Porta ) Ben Whishaw as Henrik Sandahl ( Claude Lejeune ) Amber Heard as Ulla Paulson ( Anna Larssen ) Sebastian Koch as Dr. Kurt Warnekros Pip Torrens as Dr. Jens Hexler Nicholas Woodeson as Dr. Buson Emerald Fennell as Elsa Adrian Schiller as Rasmussen Henry Pettigrew as Niels Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) Screenwriter Lucinda Coxon worked on the screenplay for a decade before it was produced . She told Creative Screenwriting : I started in 2004 and within a couple of years we had a script we were happy to send out . We were terribly excited and I was fantastically naïve , because when you fall in love with a project , you assume that everyone else will be in love with it as well . The actors were very much in love with it . Several well - known actresses wanted to play Gerda , but the subject matter made it quite difficult to find someone to play Lili . We scheduled various directors and with each director came a new draft . In September 2009 , Tomas Alfredson revealed to Variety that production on the project would precede that of his upcoming Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy adaptation , adding : `` We have been in talks for close to a year , and we are soon going into production '' . In December 2009 , Swedish newspapers reported that Alfredson was no longer attached to direct The Danish Girl and would begin work on Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy next . Alfredson said he regretted that reports of him working on The Danish Girl spread before the deal was finalized . He also said that he still wanted to make the film and might return to the project . On 12 January 2010 , Swedish director Lasse Hallström told Swedish media that he had been assigned to replace Alfredson as director . Casting ( edit ) In 2008 , Nicole Kidman was originally attached to play Einar / Lili and would also produce the film through her company Blossom Films . Charlize Theron was originally slated to play the role of Gerda Wegener but , after leaving the project , was replaced by Gwyneth Paltrow . Paltrow then left the project due to location changes . Uma Thurman was also a rumoured replacement . In September 2010 , Marion Cotillard was rumored to be the lead candidate for the role of Gerda Wegener . On 11 June 2010 , The Hollywood Reporter revealed that the film had received € 1.2 million ( $1.5 million ) in subsidy financing from Germany 's NRW Film Board . The conditions of the deal include the planned 19 - day shoot in Germany . In February 2011 , Screen Daily reported that the film would begin shooting in July of the same year and that Rachel Weisz would play Wegener . In May , it was revealed that both Weisz and Hallström had left the project . On 28 April 2014 , it was announced that Tom Hooper would direct the film with Eddie Redmayne as the lead . On 19 June 2014 , Alicia Vikander was announced in the cast . On 8 January 2015 , Matthias Schoenaerts joined the cast . Filming ( edit ) Filming was projected to start in Spring 2010 in Berlin . Coxon revealed to Creative Screenwriting that , when filming finally began with Hooper , he actually filmed an older version of the script : We had probably gone through 20 drafts before landing Tom Hooper . In fact , the one we shot was actually an early revised draft that Tom had read back in 2008 . I did a fairly large rewrite for Tom , but in the end , we used a version with little revision from the original . Filming began in February 2015 , where Redmayne was spotted on set . Filming also took place at Nyhavn , where the iconic waterfront was transformed to look like Copenhagen in the 1930s . Sets for the Danish and Paris flats were built in the Elstree Studios in London and additional shooting took place in Copenhagen and Brussels . Production on the film concluded on 12 April 2015 . Filming took 44 days for the 186 scenes in six countries . Post-production ( edit ) Post-production ended in September 2015 . According to composer , Alexandre Desplat , post-production was very fast , with the film being cut as Desplat was writing the score , which was recorded only a week prior to the film 's premiere at the Venice Film Festival . Hooper revealed to Indiewire and After Ellen that the film 's ending is different from the novel ( in which Gerda and Hans stay together ) and real life ( Gerda and Lili were not together in Lili 's final days ) , and he de-emphasized the importance of the Hans storyline because he did not want to feel that there was a love possibility for Gerda with Hans that could in any way rival Lili . He wanted it to be ambiguous whether it would turn into a love affair , rather than a friendship , because he saw Lili and Gerda as the loves of each other 's lives . He took the script in that direction to protect the importance of their relationship . In an interview with MTV International , Vikander revealed that two scenes featuring Amber Heard dancing were cut from the film , as well as stating the first cut for the film was over 2 hours . Release ( edit ) On 4 March 2015 , Focus Features set the film for a limited release on 27 November 2015 . The film had its world premiere at the 72nd Venice Film Festival on 5 September 2015 . Universal Pictures handled distribution in other territories outside the U.S. , with a release on 1 January 2016 , in the United Kingdom . Home Media ( edit ) The film was released on DVD and Blu - ray on 1 March 2016 in the United States . Marketing ( edit ) The first image of Redmayne as Lili Elbe was revealed on 26 February 2015 . A pair of posters of Redmayne and Vikander were then released in August , On 1 September 2015 , the first trailer was released . on 19 November 2015 , The first clip from the film was released . Reception ( edit ) Box Office ( edit ) The Danish Girl has grossed $11.1 million in North America and $53.1 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $64.2 million , against a budget of $15 million . The film had a limited release in the United States and Canada across four cinemas in New York and Los Angeles on 27 November 2015 before expanding cinemas in December . The film earned $185,000 in its opening weekend , averaging $46,250 , which is the sixth - best opening weekend per cinema average of 2015 . The opening weekend 's audience was 58 % female , and 67 % were over 40 . Critical response ( edit ) On Rotten Tomatoes , the film has a rating of 68 % based on 222 reviews , with an average rating of 6.6 / 10 . The website 's critical consensus reads , `` The Danish Girl serves as another showcase for Eddie Redmayne 's talent -- and poignantly explores thought - provoking themes with a beautifully filmed biopic drama '' . On Metacritic , the film has a score of 66 out of 100 , based on 41 critics , indicating `` generally favorable reviews '' . Independent film website FilmDebate credited The Danish Girl as the ' most important film of 2015 ' , stating that ' This is not only the best movie of the year , but it is the most important . The story and performances come together in the truest of ways to make a film that the whole world needs to see and get behind . ' The film 's acting , particularly that of Redmayne and Vikander in the lead roles , received considerable acclaim , with Marie Asner of Phantom Tollbooth stating that `` the acting is what makes this film '' and Damien Straker of Impulse Gamer writing that `` two commanding performances give it a gripping emotional weight that is very affecting '' . Redmayne 's performance was described as `` another sterling example of just how deeply he can immerse himself into a role '' by Jim Schembri of 3AW , and as `` revealing , heartbreaking and believable '' by Linda Cook of Quad - City Times . Kyle Buchanan , writing for Vulture , complained that it was part of a trend of `` queer and trans films that are actually about straight people '' , while Paul Byrnes for The Sydney Morning Herald said it was `` a lost opportunity '' in which `` the frocks are more convincing than the emotions . '' Casey Plett , a transgender writer , criticized the script in a conversation in The Walrus as `` atrocious and boring '' , going on to say `` It 's like someone got inspired by a Shakespeare tragedy , then combined the verbosity of R.L. Stine with the subtlety of Brendan Fraser . '' Controversy ( edit ) The Danish Girl has been criticized for being written similarly to forced feminization erotica , obscuring the actual story of a historical trans person , and for being based on a fictional book that does not tell the true story of Lili and Gerda Wegener . Oscar Controversy ( edit ) Alicia Vikander was awarded the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the film , the film 's only Oscar win out of the four nominations , a decision that the Academy was heavily criticized for as Vikander has about 1 hour of screen - time which is 50 % of the film 's run - time which qualifies her for a Best Actress Oscar . It was actually a decision made by the film 's distributor , Focus Features , to campaign Vikander for the Oscar and all other prizes in the supporting actress category , in which many lead actresses have been nominated and even won . She was intentionally not shortlisted in the best actress category as she would have been competing against Brie Larson for her role in Room , which would have decreased her chances of winning while the supporting actress category had little competition . Historical accuracy ( edit ) Elbe was not the first transgender woman to undergo sex reassignment surgery , having been preceded by Dorchen Richter . The film is based on the novel The Danish Girl by David Ebershoff . The novel , as Ebershoff has stated , does not try to tell a true story . He not only imagined most of what he wrote about Elbe 's inner life , but also created all of the other characters in the book , such as Hans and Henrik , both characters present in the film . Despite many inaccuracies , the film was marketed as a `` true story '' and `` a true love story '' . Director Tom Hooper stated that the film is closer to the real story than Ebershoff 's book . The character Ulla Paulson is a fictionalized version of Anna Larssen , a Danish actress and preacher and very good friend of Einar / Lili and Gerda . She was born on September 12 , 1875 and died on March 6 , 1955 . Although she has some fictional characteristics such as a change in her name and having a side career as a ballerina , the real Anna Larssen was in fact late for a meeting with Gerda to pose for a painting , therefore Einar had to step in and fill in for Larssen at her own suggestion over the telephone , by putting on the dress and stockings which allowed his repressed feelings as a woman to resurface as he enjoyed wearing the clothes . It was Larssen who came up with the nickname Lili after walking in on Einar filling in for her while Gerda encouraged the nickname . Larssen was reportedly quoted as saying `` You know , Andreas , you were certainly a girl in a former existence , or else Nature has made a mistake with you this time . '' The film begins in 1926 , when Lili was 44 years old and Gerda was 40 . Their marriage lasted 26 years ( 1904 - 1930 ) ; they were respectively 22 and 18 years old when they got married . The film only mentions that Lili and Gerda had been married for 6 years . Gerda was a natural blonde and blue - eyed woman ( as she used to be portrayed in her self - portraits ) with pale skin , while Alicia Vikander is a natural brunette with brown eyes and natural olive skin . Vikander had to wear blonde wigs while filming the movie , and she also revealed to The New York Times that the filmmakers were obsessed with the fact that she did not look Scandinavian and paled her skin , to make her lighter . Gerda was 43 -- 44 years old during the events portrayed in the film . Lili was 47 years old when she underwent sex reassignment surgery in 1930 , and died the following year , at 48 . Eddie Redmayne was 33 years old during filming , while Alicia Vikander was 26 . Lili and Gerda moved to Paris in 1912 , when they were 30 and 26 years old , respectively . The film appears to imply they moved to Paris in the late ' 20s . Paris was remarkably liberal in the 1910s and 1920s , which is the reason why Gerda and Lili settled there and Gerda lived openly as a lesbian in the city . The scene in which Lili , dressed in men 's clothes , is beaten by two men in Paris after being assumed to be a lesbian is fictional . Lili 's post-transition name was Lili Ilse Elvenes . The name `` Lili Elbe '' , the only name used in the film , was made up by Copenhagen journalist Louise `` Loulou '' Lassen . Topics including Gerda 's sexuality , which is evidenced by the subjects in her erotic drawings , and the disintegration of Gerda and Lili 's relationship after having their marriage annulled in 1930 , are omitted in both the novel and the film . Gerda 's famous Lesbian Erotica paintings are never mentioned in the film , nor the fact that she was not present during Lili 's last operation and death , but was living in Italy with her second husband , Italian officer Fernando Porta . Gerda divorced from Porta in 1936 , did not have children , and never married again . She returned to Denmark , took to drinking , and died penniless in 1940 . The character Hans Axgil did not exist in her life and was merely a loose inspiration from Porta , though the real Fernando Porta was not a childhood friend of Einar / Lili . Lili 's boyfriend at the time of her last surgery and death was French art dealer Claude Lejeune , whom she hoped to marry and have a child with . There is a photo of Lili and Lejeune together dating from 1928 , when Lili was still legally married to Gerda . Lejeune is not mentioned in the film . The character Henrik is a fictional creation and is only loosely inspired by Lejeune . An important factor surrounding Lili 's death was omitted from the film ; she died from organ rejection due to a uterus transplant ( her fifth operation ) in 1931 , at the age of 48 , but in the film she dies after the second sex reassignment surgery . During the last scene , when Gerda and Hans are standing by Vejle Fjord , mountains are present in the background . Denmark has no mountains . The scenes were shot at the Mount Mannen in Norway and at the Isle of Sheppey in England . This historical inaccuracy was a conscious choice by the director , who later apologized to Danish people for his mistake . Ban ( edit ) The film has been banned in Qatar on grounds of moral depravity , and also in the United Arab Emirates , Oman , Bahrain , Jordan , Kuwait , and Malaysia .

The Goonies include optimist Mikey Walsh , his older brother , Brandon , the inventive Data , the talkative Mouth , and the overweight klutz Chunk . While rummaging through the Walshes ' attic , they come across a 1632 doubloon and an old treasure map purporting to lead to the famous pirate `` One - Eyed '' Willy 's hoard located nearby . Evading Brandon for one last adventure together , the kids find themselves at a derelict restaurant near the coast , which coincides with the doubloon and the map . They encounter the Fratellis , a family of criminals hiding out at the restaurant . Evading detection by returning outside , the kids run into Brandon and two girls : the popular cheerleader Andy , who has a mutual crush on Brandon , and Stef , Andy 's nerdy , tough - talking best friend . Mikey convinces Brandon to return to the restaurant to explore after the Fratellis leave , discovering that the criminals are running a counterfeiting operation . As the Fratellis return , the group finds a tunnel beneath the restaurant and hides in there , sending Chunk to notify the authorities . They explore the tunnel and find the remains of a previous explorer , who also searched for the treasure , and Mikey is sure they are on the right trail . Evading various booby traps , set up by Willy , they find themselves under an old wishing well . The kids have a chance to be pulled out of the tunnel by Andy 's obnoxious boyfriend Troy , whose family owns the country club , but Mikey convinces the group to continue on their journey . Meanwhile , Chunk , who has escaped the restaurant , tries to flag down several passing cars , but is intercepted and kidnapped by Jake and Francis Fratelli . When the Fratellis threaten to shred his hands with an electric blender , a terrified Chunk reveals not only where his friends are , but also the existence of the treasure . The Fratellis tie Chunk to a chair and lock him in the basement next to Sloth , their deformed younger brother kept chained to the wall . While the Fratellis pursue both the Goonies and the treasure , Chunk befriends Sloth , and Sloth is able to break their bonds ; they form a third party headed into the tunnel . Mikey and the others discover the Fratellis on their trail , and hasten through the remaining traps . They ultimately find an enclosed grotto and Willy 's pirate ship , the Inferno , which has been sealed in the cave for centuries . They explore the ship , finding a hoard of treasure in front of the skeletal remains of Willy and his crew . Mikey gives a sober speech to Willy , naming him as the first `` Goonie '' , then he and the others fill their pockets with riches ; Mikey insists that the coins directly in front of Willy remain untouched , as Willy 's tribute . As they leave , however , the Fratellis have already caught up with them . They make them drop the treasure before threatening to kill them by forcing them to walk the plank , when suddenly Sloth and Chunk arrive . Sloth , angered by how the other Fratellis have treated him in the past , easily subdues them and helps the rest of the Goonies to escape the boat . Though Mikey insists they go back for the treasure , Brandon worries more for their lives , and the group escapes through a hole in the grotto , eventually arriving on a nearby beach shore . Police quickly come to their help and reunite them with their families . Meanwhile , the Fratellis free themselves and begin to loot the boat . When they take the coins that Mikey had left earlier , they trigger another booby trap that causes the grotto to start to cave in . The Fratellis are forced to abandon the loot and flee to the beach , where police quickly take them into custody . As the Goonies are taken care of by their families , including Chunk offering to bring Sloth into his family , the owners of the country club show up and demand that Mr. Walsh sign away their homes and the Goon Docks . As he is about to do so , their housekeeper , Rosalita , finds Mikey 's marble bag in his wet clothes , filled with gems that the Fratellis had neglected to confiscate . Mr. Walsh triumphantly tears up the paperwork , as the gems are more than enough to negate the foreclosure . As the Goonies celebrate , the attention of all on the beach is caught by the sight of the unmanned Inferno , now clear of the grotto , and the Goonies wave her goodbye as she sets off once more upon the sea . Cast ( edit ) Sean Astin as Michael `` Mikey '' Walsh Corey Feldman as Clark `` Mouth '' Devereaux Jeff Cohen as Lawrence `` Chunk '' Cohen Jonathan Ke Huy Quan as Richard `` Data '' Wang Josh Brolin as Brandon `` Brand '' Walsh Kerri Green as Andrea `` Andy '' Carmichael Martha Plimpton as Stephanie `` Stef '' Steinbrenner Anne Ramsey as Agatha `` Mama '' Fratelli Joe Pantoliano as Francis Fratelli Robert Davi as Jake Fratelli John Matuszak as Lotney `` Sloth '' Fratelli Mary Ellen Trainor as Irene Walsh Keith Walker as Irving Walsh Lupe Ontiveros as Rosalita Steve Antin as Troy Perkins Curtis F. Hanson as Mr. Perkins Paul Tuerpe as the Sheriff Director Richard Donner makes a cameo appearance as a deputy . Production ( edit ) The old Clatsop County Jail , scene of the Fratelli jail break . The site is now home to the Oregon Film Museum . Much of the filming was done on location in Astoria , Oregon , the setting of the film Principal photography on The Goonies began on October 22 , 1984 and lasted five months . There was an additional six weeks of audio dubbing recording . The shooting script was lengthy , at more than 120 pages , and several sequences were eventually cut from the final theatrical version . During the film 's dénouement , mention is made of an octopus which refers to a scene that was excised from the final cut . In The Making of The Goonies , director Richard Donner notes the difficulties and pleasures of working with so many child actors . Donner praises them for their energy and excitement , but says that they were unruly when brought together . The documentary frequently shows him coaching the young actors and reveals some techniques he used to get realistic performances . One of these tricks involved One - Eyed Willy 's ship , which was actually a full - sized mock - up of a pirate ship created under the direction of production designer J. Michael Riva . Donner restricted the child actors from seeing the ship until they filmed the scene wherein it is revealed to their characters . The characters ' first glimpse of the ship was thus also the actors ' first view of it , bringing about a more realistic performance . However , that particular scene in the movie is actually the second shot , as the cast was so overwhelmed at first sight that the scene had to be re-shot . It was later noted that the entire set was scrapped after shooting because they could not find anyone who wanted it . In his book There and Back Again , Sean Astin claims that Richard Donner and Steven Spielberg were `` like codirectors '' on the film as he compares and contrasts their styles when directing scenes . Some of the on - location filming was done in Astoria , Oregon . The interior and exterior of the old Clatsop County Jail features as the holding place of Jake Fratelli at the start of the film . ( The building was later converted into the Oregon Film Museum , which opened on the 25th anniversary of The Goonies with memorabilia from this and other local films . ) The museum where Mikey 's father works is , in reality , the Captain George Flavel House Museum . The Walsh family home is a real home on the eastern end of the town . The scenes along the coast were filmed in Oregon , but they were a considerable distance from Astoria . The Goonies bicycle to Ecola State Park ( in reality , over 26 miles south of Astoria ) and then find the starting location of the map using Haystack Rock as a guide . Underground scenes were filmed at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank , California , including the cavernous set where the Goonies find One - Eyed Willy 's ship , which was in Stage 16 , one of the largest sound stages in America . The final scene was shot at Goat Rock State Beach in Sonoma County , California . The film marked Wes Takahashi 's first major motion picture as an animation supervisor for Industrial Light & Magic . Music and soundtrack ( edit ) Main article : The Goonies : Original Motion Picture Soundtrack The Goonies : Original Motion Picture Soundtrack features music by Cyndi Lauper , REO Speedwagon , The Bangles , and others . The cast members ( except Kerri Green ) appeared alongside professional wrestlers `` Rowdy '' Roddy Piper and `` Captain '' Lou Albano in the 12 minute `` The Goonies ' R ' Good Enough '' music video . Steven Spielberg makes a cameo appearance . Lauper also has a cameo in the film , performing the song on TV , although the song was not completed until after filming . Dave Grusin 's score was unavailable for 25 years . The main theme , `` Fratelli Chase '' , has been used in numerous trailers , such as Innerspace and Guarding Tess , and was re-recorded by Grusin and the London Symphony Orchestra for the album Cinemagic . The score makes liberal use of the Max Steiner - composed theme from Adventures of Don Juan . Soundtrack label Varèse Sarabande released the score in March 2010 in a limited edition of 5000 copies . Release ( edit ) Warner Bros. released the film in cinemas in the United States on June 7 , 1985 . The Goonies grossed US $9 million in its opening weekend in the US , second on the charts behind Rambo : First Blood Part II . It grossed more than US $61 million that year , placing it among the top ten highest - grossing films of 1985 in the US . The Goonies was first released on VHS and Betamax video in the United States in March 1986 and the LaserDisc and CED versions also debuted that year . Warner Home Video released a theatrical widescreen laserdisc on January 29 , 1992 . Warner Home Video released The Goonies in widescreen on Region 1 DVD on August 21 , 2001 . Warner Home Video released The Goonies on Blu - ray Disc in October 2008 in Europe and November 2010 in North America . The video is in 1080p high definition VC - 1 and accompanied by a Dolby TrueHD soundtrack . Reception ( edit ) Critical response ( edit ) Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 70 % of critics have given the film a positive review based on 46 reviews ; the average rating is 6.1 / 10 . The critical consensus : `` An energetic , sometimes noisy mix of Spielbergian sentiment and funhouse tricks that will appeal to kids and nostalgic adults alike . '' At Metacritic it has a rating score of 60 , indicating `` mixed or average reviews '' . Several reviewers noted that the film appeared to be enjoyable for children and teens , but not so much for adults . Awards ( edit ) Ramsey won a Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role . At the 7th Youth in Film Awards ( now known as Young Artist Awards ) , Astin 's portrayal of Mikey won the award for Best Starring Performance By a Young Actor in a Motion Picture . Cohen , Feldman , and Plimpton were also nominated for awards for their performances in The Goonies . The film itself was nominated for best adventure motion picture . Legacy ( edit ) The city of Astoria has hosted special anniversary events for the film , with around 10,000 to 15,000 visitors coming to the city to celebrate the film during these events . The home used for the Walsh family had become a tourist attraction , receiving between 1,200 and 1,500 visitors a day during the summer of the 30th anniversary , and in August 2015 the residents and owners of the home , their neighbors , and the city of Astoria have taken steps to limit public access to the home due to this . Video games ( edit ) Datasoft produced a Goonies video game for Commodore 64 , Atari 8 - bit family and Apple II in 1985 , which was later ported to the ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC by U.S. Gold . This game features eight screens in which a player had to use two members of the Goonies group to solve puzzles and reach an exit to advance to the next stage . The screens were largely inspired by actual sets and puzzles seen in the film . A reference to the aforementioned `` octopus scene '' is included , as the seventh level . In 1986 , Japanese game developer Konami created two versions of The Goonies for the MSX ( The Goonies ) in Japan and Europe , and Family Computer ( The Goonies ) in Japan . The Goonies II was also released on the Famicom ( and its international counterpart , the Nintendo Entertainment System ) . The Goonies II was released in North America , Europe and Australia , although the original was one of the NES games released as part of the Nintendo VS . System arcade machine in the 1980s . The Goonies II has little to do with the film . In it , the Fratellis have kidnapped all the Goonies ( except Mikey , whom the player guides ) and have hidden them in cage across a terrain of caverns , mazes and abandoned buildings . As Mikey , the player must rescue them all and ultimately free a mermaid named Annie . In February 2007 , Chrysler 's Jeep division sponsored The Goonies : Return to Astoria , a Flash - based game , developed by Fuel Industries . The player 's goal is to collect map pieces and doubloons , and then race the Fratellis to One - Eyed Willy 's treasure . A Goonies level pack for Lego Dimensions was released on May 9 , 2017 . The pack includes a Sloth minifigure and constructable Pirate Ship and Skeleton Organ , and unlocks a bonus level that adapts the plot of the film . Proposed sequels and adaptations ( edit ) We tried really hard , and Steven ( Spielberg ) said , ' Let 's do it . ' We had a lot of young writers submit work , but it just did n't seem to call for it . -- Richard Donner The possibility of a film sequel has been confirmed and denied many times in recent years by the original cast and crew . Donner said that he had a story he liked and Spielberg behind him , but in 2004 several of the actors from the original revealed that Warner Bros. , the film 's owner , had shown no interest in a sequel . Sean Astin told MTV in October 2007 that Goonies 2 `` is an absolute certainty ... The writing 's on the wall when they 're releasing the DVD in such numbers . '' Donner has expressed doubt that the sequel will ever happen , as many of the actors had not shown interest in returning for a sequel . Corey Feldman stated in his November 25 , 2008 blog post , `` NO ! There is no Goonies 2 ! I 'm sorry but it 's just not gon na happen ... Course now that I 've said that , they 'll do it . '' However , on the July 2010 release of The Making of a Cult Classic : The Unauthorized Story of The Goonies DVD , Richard Donner states a sequel to The Goonies is a `` definite thing '' and will involve as much of the old cast as possible . `` It will happen , '' says Donner . `` We 've been trying for a number of years . '' On April 5 , 2014 , Richard Donner revealed a sequel is in the works , and he hopes to bring back the entire cast . Rumors of adaptations and sequels in other media took off in 2007 , including a comic book miniseries , an animated television series , and a musical adaptation of the film . Corey Feldman said he was asked to reprise the role of Mouth in a cartoon series that would feature the original Goonies characters as adults and focus on the adventures of a new set of kids . Apparently this project was briefly in the works for Cartoon Network before being shelved . Entertainment Weekly reported in March 2007 on a potential musical adaptation of the film . `` Steven and I have discussed it , and it 's something that I 'm fairly passionate about right now , '' Donner says . Variety reported in October 2008 that Donner had met with Broadway entertainment attorney John Breglio , and is `` confident things are moving in the right direction . '' As of May 2011 , the musical was still in the beginning stages , but Donner was hopeful that an `` irreverent '' script would be completed by October .
