We, The Infected

Does anyone know how to get a copy of this "Nyhetsmorgon" program video, on which Lina, Kare, Alfredson, and Per Ragnar were interviewed?

see http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1329827/
for more info. The episode (Season 34, Episode 94) aired on October 25, 2008.

I also love all the scenes mentioned above, but one that especially moved me has not been mentioned. Right after they kiss, and it sinks in for Oskar that Eli is really going to leave, the music swells and we see Oskar going home, aimlessly rearranging his toys and being totally disengaged with anyt...

Wolfchild, My own experience with the Film and Book is a kind of hybrid one: I saw the trailer on line, was intrigued, and because the film was not shown in my area, looked for a site where I could download it. I finally found a very poor quality version chopped up into nine or ten sections (with th...

If we accept the premise that Eli thinks of himself as a girl (as per my original contention) why would JAL have implied this in the novel, and actually minimized the "Eli as a boy " aspects in the screenplay?

Yvon...

[ SPOILERS!] To Lombano; An important detail is that Oskar, when Eli asks what clothes he should take, replies 'Something of mine.' Thus Eli had several reasons to, at that moment, take something of Oskar's rather than a dress: -Oskar himself had told him to do so. -Oskar's clothes would be more lik...

Nicely summarized. I think I agree with most of your suppositions and motives. I would only add that, after being castrated perhaps Eli no longer could/wanted to identify as male, thereby making living as a female more comfortable or "natural," and that is why Eli went for a dress rather than Oskar...

In the book, Lindqvist leaves some interesting clues as to how Eli views her own sexual identity : When they were in bed together and Oskar asked if she wanted to go out with him, she said, “But Oskar, I can’t. I’m not a girl.” Oskar snorted, “What do you mean? You’re a guy?!” Eli: “No, no!” Oskar: ...
