Eli and the Wall: Interpretation please?

[gkmoberg1]

To me the scene exposes her loneliness and is put there as a chance for us to consider the depth of it. 200 x 365 is a lot of nights, all her waking hours, to spend largely by herself. (Okay, true, we don't know it is 200 yrs in the movie.) That void alone is troublesome. But recently she has something new in her life, this young friend. I think working over this budding friendship in her mind could be very consuming across each night. What else is there to do when she's had years to consider all else? This new notion - friendship - after all that time, since perhaps she last played in sunlight, could well be rocking the stability of her precarious existence.

It was this idea that motivated me to write my first fan fiction about LTROI. Eli's inner thoughts about what's happening in her life during the film, every dawn before she falls asleep. I found the idea of her wrestling with these issues most intriguing.

I went off and read this. This is a very moving work. I finished it at 2am last night and then (mistakenly) tried go off to sleep while still taking it all in. Thank you for giving us this beautiful view into Eli's life and thoughts. http://www.let-the-right-one-in.com/fan ... n-darkness

Mmmmm. ACL, I have found this thread http://www.let-the-right-one-in.com/for ... ns+At+Dawn and suspect this is also what you meant. Regardless, both are wonderful. Truly appreciated. Thanks.

Watching the film again last night I had another thought about the wall scene. That's Hakan's bed she's on. Distressing as his not coming home might be, his coming home would be no picnic either. EXcept for the blood of course.

You have to be referring to ACL's "Redemption from Darkness". It is one of my favorite fan fictions. It still gets to me.
Most of the fan fiction here is very good. I say most because I haven't read it all, yet.

It was alot of fun, writing all of that. Glad someone's enjoying it...

I always figured it's Eli's room, though he sleeps in the tub.
