"Let the right one in" NOT a love story

Posted by Brian A on March 22, 2009 at 22:31:42:
First I would like to say thanks to Tin et all for recommending this movie, picked up the Blu Ray version. Secondly I really enjoyed it. Such a nice break from Hollywood

The movie was very interesting on several levels. One was the peak at socialism. Everyone living at what we would consider "lower" middle class, not too far above poverty.

The boy's parents divorced for a tired reason. Didn't like that one. I saw it happen first hand to some friends of mine. Not pleasant at all.

I did like the peak at a different culture and lifestyle. And the movie was so different than the usual Hollywood stuff. The movie's pace was much slower than I am used to. As for the cinematography, they made the best they could of a bleak winter Stockholm Sweden.

However, it was NOT a love story. The vampiress was tired of her old boyfriend as he could no longer make kills for her, so she started courting Oskar and encouraging him to really whop the bully, anticipating it would bring only greater problems for him.

Then when the vampiress's squeeze goes and gets himself disfigured and arrested, she does the honorable thing, drinks his blood and kills him. When she sees Oskar's final confrontation with the bullies, she takes it to the next level, making such a mess he is forced to leave town with her to avoid unanswerable questions with the police.

In short, the vampiress is a user, her old guy was too old and lost his touch, but no problem, she had another lined up after strumming him like a violin.

We'll have to agree to disagree about global warming until the next global cooling scare comes along
