Now I think someone is reading a bit too much into things ;)

Good point; it seems to be the building on the opposite side of the courtyard. I compared the orientation of the jungle gym in this scene with the orientation in the scene where Eli points at her apartment in the beginning (I highlighted one side of the jungle gym as a reference point):
Here's the actual courtyard:

Warning; misquote. I am in that statement, I should not be.

In the newspaper it's a report about a man who was found in the ice, dead. And the headline is asking about who that did it. Oskar looks sad at this and seems rather uintriserted more than anything else. He had in earlyer scenes a scrapbook in which he collects newpaper articles about murderes, knives .. Etc.. But now that he had seen this violence with his own eyes, he seems to have lost the interest.
The man in the ice was a man Eli Nommed under a bridge, earlyer in the film. And Håkan, her assistant had to take care of the corpse. And send it in the water where it was found a while later. When Eli went to this man she had on a too big white shirt that of course was covered with blood. In the book they dives deper into the clothing, which they found the bloody shirt inside the mans jacket. Something they apparently did in the movie too. For the image that you might see is the black and white image of a white shirt with blood.

You guys know I'm not the best english writer, sorry for missspellings if you see any. I hope you liked this :D Bye xD
Oh my God, I never saw that. It's great how this movie can still suprise you after so long.

I could read this thread for hours.

Haha, I love that one too XD Also the effort that must have been done for something so.. Hidden sort of. I mean, we didn't see it right away, and TA probebly knew that we wouldn't. But he still did this. He still did, with everything! :D That's one good reason to love this movie. It's small things everywere XD
