When I am With You
Re: When I am With You
This interview says it all. Lina played a little girl vampire; it's what she was directed to do.
Re: When I am With You
Yes, it was. They didn't tell her that Eli was actually a mutilated boy. I don't think it devaluates the film, including the androgyne motif and all its complications would have made the film loose its focus. For similar reasons Håkan's paedophilia was also excluded.gkmoberg1 wrote:This interview says it all. Lina played a little girl vampire; it's what she was directed to do.
But both are central to the novel, and make the novel much richer and thought provoking than the film. I like the film for its beauty, but the novel is more interesting.
But from the beginning Eli was just Eli. Nothing. Anything. And he is still a mystery to me. John Ajvide Lindqvist

Re: When I am With You
Absolutely breathtaking and is now a permenant tab in the top left corner. When there is that goodbye kiss in the apartment I always have to look away for a moment and collect myself. I know what happens after, but the fact that it was genuine goodbye to someone so special to her, it hits me hard every time. I wanted her to say something like this in the movie, but seeing that she was thinking it makes it better to me. Fantastic work, sorry I was so late to the party

Re: When I am With You
Mishrashade48, there's no such thing here as "late for the party." Why? In the short two years I've been here it all seems like a timeless experience. It's a place that seems to exist in a dimension where time is suspended.Mishrashade48 wrote:Absolutely breathtaking and is now a permenant tab in the top left corner.

I'm so glad you liked the story, especially the kiss. I reread the story for the same reason I read other fan fiction here. It's a way of hanging out with Oskar and Eli, seeing their faces and hearing their voices.

Re: When I am With You
Seeing their faces and hearing their voices, well put my friend. I'll reflect on that as I sleep and imagine what they would be saying in my story. Vengeance has a way of showing up that no one is prepared for, but that's all I'm letting out. It may be a farfetched idea and it may have already been told, but I think it's my turn to tell it. Thank you for the continued inspiration.dongregg wrote:Mishrashade48, there's no such thing here as "late for the party." Why?

Sleep is a good place for your muse to speak to you! I look forward to seeing what she whispers to you!Mishrashade48 wrote:Seeing their faces and hearing their voices, well put my friend.

She whispered enough, that's all I can tell you. Now, it is time to write. If I need any help, and I know I will, I will make sure to ask.dongregg wrote:Sleep is a good place for your muse to speak to you!

Your carefully and effectively polished pieces that a couple of us are getting from you via PM deserve to be seen by other members. They are beyond good; they're great.Mishrashade48 wrote:She whispered enough, that's all I can tell you. Now, it is time to write.

And why should I be the only one who is now afraid to go to sleep at night?

Oh, I could be sending out these creepy dream meetings left and right. I just don't know if that's what others want to interact with. Do you think that people here want to meet the bandaged boy from my upcoming story?
