Re: I Love Eli!
Hey, I'm new, okay? My love for Eli is still growing. I must say, though, it is already off the scale of my love for any previously encountered screen character. Oh, and my love for Eli is scrambled up with my delight in Lina's portrayal of Eli. With LTROI, it's is hard to tell where my cinephile self ends and my hopeless romantic self begins.jonesboy27aka wrote:BUMP!!! Where's the love folks? Last post was in 2011!
Yes I LOVE ELI!!!

Re: I Love Eli!
Eli's the first fictional character that I have ever loved. I love this board too, you guys understand me...
When I defend Eli on IMDb, some guy accused me of being like Hakan, (hopefully he means the movie and hasn't read the book
)

The Gift
When I heard you say
No,
When I heard you say
No...
That you have never get any presents
Then when you asked me if I wanted to give you a present
I said Yes
I want to
To give you everything
All my toys, all my books, all my candies,
All that I have
But it's not enough
So then you told me
That the best gift you could have
For your birthday was me....

Re: I Love Eli!
Ok my first post, and sorry guys its gonna be a long one first of all I just want to say that I am an 18 year old male from Australia who is now a die hard fan of this book/movie;
before this story I'm about to tell you, I never got emotional and would laugh at the thought of someone crying over a movie.
I watched the movie for the first time 9 days ago. I REALLY got into it for some reason and though i had absoulutely no clue why
I balled my eyes out uncontrollably for about half an hour. All the next day it was all i could think about. The beautiful, delicate, almost incandescent relationship
that is Eli and Oskar. It made me intensely happy and a sense of crushing sense of depression at the same time. I watched the movie before doing anything else the next
3 nights after work. Each time i cried again. The slow, delicate haunting piano that is Eli and Oskars theme gets the best of me nearly every time i hear it. I really wondered why i had become so emphatuated by the film. I began searching online little searches like 'emotional after let the right one in' and the like, to no avail. (I obviously wasnt searching the right thing) I just started to think i was going mad. I felt like it just shouldnt have hit me like a ton of bricks like it did. But it just got worse. Me and Eli were together everytime i watched the movie. I would talk to her when no-one was around and I would smile like a dopey eyed idiot. Whenever i was feeling lonely which is and was all the time I would get out my phone and look at a few saved pics of Eli, my sorrow always lifted when i did this. It was affecting my work in the kitchen (im an apprentice chef) and others noticed my mind wasnt there like it used to be. I then read the book cover to cover. Deepening my relationship (in my head) with my Eli. I then found this site yesterday. My new home I found out I wasnt alone!! There are others like me that were profoundly affected by this beautiful masterpiece!! I cant believe it, I truly believed I was alone. Insane. I can specuate as to the effect that it had on me is due to the fact that I've never been in a real relationship with a woman, despite desiring one and lonliness of this has caused me be be majorly depressed and have a inferiority complex towards other males who can easily speak to nice women. As sad as it is i don't and have never really had any female friends let alone a physical relationship with one. The interwoven darkness, lightness, and pure unadulterated white hot love in the movie/book struck a chord in me i didn't know could be rustled. Eli (pun totally intended) let me in to her world and every time I would see the movie or read a section of the book with her in it, we'd be together. Sorry for this long post, I just wanted to share this with some others who's life has been affected by this classic masterpiece. Just so you all know, I have begun to reclaim my mind again as I know I simply cant keep living my favourite and deeply touching fantasy anymore. Despite how pleasureable it may be 
Peace. Whoever reads this far is a legend btw.
