I haven't read Little Star so far, but it seems that Lina Leandersson could easily play Teresa, maybe she has to gain some weight. But I actually don't know how important is to the plot Teresa being fat or ugly (it wasn't that important for film Oskar).

Maybe a "cute" Teresa ruins the character.

Well, I think after all, the simplest answer is the correct one. The vampire woman acts out of malice, at that time in her life she has become a sociopath, and apparently kills for fun or whatever, she tells Eli that humans (not infected) are very positive in killing vampires ("us") so that could be...

Nope, apparently Michael "Mini" Cooper never met a smelly dark haired vampire girl-boy who could understood him.


Now seriously, here's the full documentary and the aftermath:

Do you folks "justify" Eli because she is a child, or because she is a vampire? I mean, she says "I kill because I have to" (basically) which it's true, he needs blood, he has his vampiric impulses and the "infection" even provides him claws, wings, fangs, etc. So it's clear that's his nature now an...

This belongs to the book section I think. Eli "gender issue" is 100% pointless in the movie. I did read at least three reviews (two blogs and a youtube video) calling either the book, or JAL "transphobic" mostly by two factors: - The false assumption of the "man in disguise" who fools and seduces he...

I'm coming to an old thread, as usual. In this case to tell a couple of things about ZH: First, why he acts as he does, I imagined it as a form of remorse / revenge to Eli, the embodiment of his forbidden desire and the responsibility of his ultimate misery, or simply as a release from the lust/viol...

I am still struggling with the "12-year-old mind" plus the "200-year experience". I think it's the only mistake for me, from JAL, along with some "magic" about vampirism (although that's expected) always within the context of supernatural/vampire fiction but seeking some "realism". As I said before,...

Little Star. Plus, I can't read it, since there's no translation. Also, Harbor. But, Little Star seems to be my taste, again I haven't read it, but it reminds me that bizarre but great german film "Der Fan" (horror+teen girl+german new wave music) in this case, swedish pop apparently. And the charac...
