Re: LTODD: The Loss of Innocence (Spoilers!)

This does seem to be the pivot point for virtually all of the speculations and stories about Eli's and Oskar's lives after the end of LTROI. It does seem to me that LTODD could have been motivated by a desire to swerve away from the "Oskar will become the next Hakan" scenario. And yes, I do think th...

Re: Thoughts about Let The Old Dreams Die !!!SPOILERS!!!

I have to admit that hearing them described as predators bothered me. Right or wrong, I have come to see Eli as very human, despite her infection. Of course, taking the scene in context, they were probably on the hunt. So you might not view them as predators all the time. This seemed very natural t...

Re: Thoughts about Let The Old Dreams Die !!!SPOILERS!!!

I liked the way that Oskar & Eli's story was gradually revealed, almost in stages, throughout the story. A wonderful construction that coincided with the advancement in age of Karin and Stefan. I found the structure of the story interesting in this regard.

Re: Thoughts about Let The Old Dreams Die !!!SPOILERS!!!

I tend to agee with StefL. I think they went to Barcelona to try and catch a glimpse, maybe even encounter, Oskar & Eli. To solve the mystery that Karin had been pursuing for a large part of her professional career. Oskar did not take the photo--someone who used to live in Blackeberg took it, recog...

Re: Thoughts about Let The Old Dreams Die !!!SPOILERS!!!

An interesting question raised by LTODD is what motivated Oskar to change his mind about being turned from the end of the LDRKI. I would posit the pool incident and Eli saving his life.

Re: Thoughts about Let The Old Dreams Die !!!SPOILERS!!!

The next time I am walking through some European city at night with my backpack on just won't be the same...less safe maybe, and I know I will always be looking out for them. Okay, Mr. Christensen...just remember, if you're camping out at Tyresta and you hear someone crying in the woods...stay in y...

Re: Thoughts about Let The Old Dreams Die !!!SPOILERS!!!

Seems to me, having read the spoilers here, that Wolfie is the fan fiction author who came closest to imagining Oskar's turning as JAL did. (http://let-the-right-one-in.com/fancontent/ff/letters). Maybe there's a psychic link between JAL and him? :shock:

Re: Thoughts about Let The Old Dreams Die !!!SPOILERS!!!

Ok, I confess. I was weak. I clicked on everything. 8-) IMHO the magic of the epilogue lies in the way it is written and not in the factual details, so it isn't really so much of a spoiler. For example, in the film, when Oskar sits on the train looking out the window: Now you know exactly what he i...
