I don't really see it as a date movie..

Let The Right One In!

-Every time a person stood at the doorstep, the words, "let the right one in" babbled in my head.

I'm going to start off by saying that it should not be remade my Americans. I just don't think it's be as well put together or thought out.

1. I'm not sure the backstory was handeled, because i didn't think there was much of backstory. The camera showed how the parents were divorced and this young boy wasn't happy.

2. The camera movement was amazing! It was SO well thought out. The dialogue tells a story, but when there was no dialogue, the camera told the story. When the camera moves slow, it builds up tension. I literally would lean forward thinking that something is blocking my view of an important scene, but it was just the tension build up. The brushing the teeth scene was brilliantly made! The camera, once again, was set on a tripod and Oskar and his mother walked back and forward in the view of the lens.

3. When someone was being killed by Eli's father figure, the camera was set on a tripod far back so you could see the people in a full view and you see the setting. The camera created a scenery where you would look at the focus point, but there was action in the background. For example, when Eli climbed the hospital building. We had to play it twice, because some people didn't follow it. The director made it so your eyes have to follow the screen. Brilliant.

4. Other than dialog, you could see the character developing. Oskar and Eli's relationship developed when he gave her the Rubix Cube and she returned it in the snow. That one simple moment, the camera didn't even cut, but Oskar looked at Eli's window then at the Rubix Cube and smiled ,you knew they were going to have a relationship. No dialog. Just a smile said it all.

5. The sound was so unique. You don't see any gory scenes, you hear them. You basically hear people playing around with a mixture of sounds in a studio. But in your mind, you can imagine what happens. Eli and Oskar had a relationship by sound. Not voice, but tapping on the wall, Morse Code, they had a conversation. Another scene, the scene where Oskar is playing with his father, Oskars father goes to put the bottle on the table, and you hear him shove the paper that him and his son were playing on. They way i looked at it, as if I was so close to that paper, that paper being the relationship between father and son, i heard it being pushed, so loud and clear, and it didn't affect the father at all because he continued to pour his glass. This scene hurt me the most. I don't like the feeling of a child being neglected, it shouldn't happen. Oskars one time of happiness is shoved out of the way by alcohol with a friend. Not fair.

8. Plot One was the completion of the Rubix Cube.

9. Plot Two was when Eli was saved by Oskar.

10. I'm not sure if this was a happy ending.. i feel like it shouldn't have been the end.

Im not sure who said it, but someone said that "The really freaky stuff is the human stuff." And it's SO true. The terrifying scenes are just between people-no monsters.
