Re: Lindqvist's view of how people react to love
I think part of the reason so much of the violence isn't shown realistically is because no matter how strong or dangerous the smaller party is presented as being watching someone attack someone else twice their size always looks a bit ridiculous. I know of people who laughed when Eli attacked Jocke,...

Re: An Xmas Gift From A Kind Forum User
Oh come on.
A wolf using the computer is one thing, but a wolf using a toilet?
That'd just be ludicrous.

Re: Lindqvist's view of how people react to love
Clearly I did not have in mind this kind of utilitarian calculus I only bring it up because it sums up Oskar's situation. (If I have ten loved ones and you only 5 then am I less selfish in killing you for the sake of my ten then you would be in killing me for the sake of my 5?) Yes. In that situati...

Re: Lindqvist's view of how people react to love
Even if you love that person above all the rest of mankind it is still unselfish. I cannot see how logically you can claim otherwise. Just loving them above mankind isn't necessarily selfish, but if you are complicit in the sacrifice of others to keep the one you value above mankind alive that is s...

Re: Poolside Action
I think paralyzed in sheer terror is a believable reaction to what he was witnessing.

Re: Does Oskar realize?
Eli definately realizes what she's got. "This is the first real friendship I've had in over two hundred years." That about sums it up. Oskar I'd say does as well. What solidifies it for me is when he compares Eli and his father and the things that make them monsterous figuratively (his father) or li...

Re: Eli's Androgyny
Was not Hakan into children? I mean was gender important for him? If yes, then i think he either considered Eli as a boy, as i consider her as a girl, or he - just like Oskar - wanted her without regards for her gender. But yes, you are right, in the book his pedophile acts were connected to boys. ...

Re: Androgynous by choice?
Well, it's quite unrelated to the film, but the correct word is "eunuch" and not "castrato". Castratos underwent a quite different surgical procedure (which you can, I think, guess without my giving details) and were able to engage in "normal sex", which they actually did, quite a lot in fact. I ac...

Re: Androgynous by choice?
Unless the choice to supress the regeneration were unconscious. But yes that would otherwise seem to be another strike against my poor theory. Speaking of not seing that scar, seeing it is actually what originally convinced me that Eli wasn't castrated. My knee jerk reaction was in fact castration, ...
