We, The Infected

Very cool. From the online images I find the use of huge wall size mirror rather interesting. Was the mirror used in the production you've seen? Yes, it was. It's a sliding mirror, so it was in place or not depending on the scene. The staging must've a big challenge, given all the changes of scener...

Hello, everyone. It's been a long while, I know. Anyway, yesterday I went to see the Jack Thorne play in Mexico City (Foro Shakespeare theatre) - I don't know who the translator was or how different it's from the original script. So here's my review - I'm assuming folks here are familiar with the no...

So folks here would recommend Up in Old Vermont?

I thought it was only OK. I liked that neither Oskar and Eli, nor Karin and Stefan, appeared directly in it. I've never much liked that kind of epilogue. However, I didn't feel much sympathy for or interest in the narrator, and I saw the twist coming, and I could see that there would be a twist mile...

I know I'm really late to the party, but... The analysis seems in many ways spot-on. They bring up the common misinterpretation of Oskar as the new Haakan - but then dismiss it. It's true their assessment of Oskar is harsh, but it's also objectively true in that he's "unable" to mobilise his own agg...

I didn't think Oskar was a sociopath either but then again it wasn't out of the realm of possibility. I mean it IS in the movie and for a reason and if not sociopathy than what? I think it showed that he was going down an unhealthy path with his hobby and because of it needed a friend, enter Eli. O...

I was telling a friend with whom I plan to watch the film about the book's dialogue between Haakan and Eli on the nature of love - I told her nothing about the characters having the conversation, but told her more or less the content: Do you love me; yes; You only love me to the extent you need me t...

I won't speculate about the psychology of girls during puberty, beyond noting that a certain shame at their changing bodies doesn't seem to be uncommon, at least in these parts. However, the film is largely from Oskar's POV, so you could tweak the reviewer's analysis as a boy's take on girls' pubert...

Very interesting review, though I mostly disagree with it. It's spot-on about the adults though - Avila is the only adult we see even trying, though he fails. Everyone else is just going through the motions (Oskar's mother) or can't manage even that. Interesting way of looking at Virginia turning. I...
