This occurred to me the other night, and I went back to check in the novel, but it doesn't really help achieve clarity.
If Eli leaves after killing Lacke, what circumstances lead Eli back to the pool for the rescue? Was it just luck? Was Eli flying back for a last look? Had Eli's mind changed?
Was there some sort of vampire radar? How, or did, Eli know Oskar was in trouble?
I'm curious if people have mulled that over. I'm not saying it's a plot problem, but it just occurred to me.
In the novel, there's some more action that happens between Eli leaving and the rescue, but still.
Thoughts? Did I miss something?
It does not have to be a reason . It's just a movie and not have to follow a logical line .
It is what we would like to happen in real life . Finally vengeance against the bullys , finally Eli comes to save the beloved , there is a connection between Eli and Oskar beyond logic, closer to the sentimental feelings, and what we feel as idea of love and justice. Often this does not happen in real life, and that´s why gives us a feeling of pleasure and justice that in this relationship between Oskar and Eli . That's why we love it. It´s close of our dreams. No need to worry about finding a logic.
Reason of art is to move (thrill) us , even if there´s no linear logic
I´m sorry about my bad english, that´s why a didn´t write before.
