Sommaren 1985 - A review

Yesterday I finished reading JAL's latest novel, Sommaren 1985 (The Summer of 1985). In short, it's about a group of seven childhood friends who've hung out together during summer vacations on a fictional island (Särsö) in the Stockholm archipelago ever since they were little. In the year the book t...

Re: Do you think Oskar might regret his decision in life?

We all romanticise the relationship between Oskar and Eli. We all romanticise the choice that Oskar made. I try not to, personally. It's certainly a beautiful happy ending and the only one I want and feel is appropriate for them. But I also try to keep an honest view of what it would be in reality,...

Re: A Cold Winter's Night (Let Me In)

I feel a bit bad I seemed to have missed the forum's heyday haha. Yeah, I can relate to that, as someone who also came in relatively recently. But it is what it is, as Eli would say. It's a small miracle that after the first story anyone wants to read the rest of the collection. Aw, don't be too ha...

Re: A Cold Winter's Night (Let Me In)

Welcome to the forum! Always good to see another lurker come in from the cold. I meant to comment on this earlier, but wanted to take the time to think about the stories some more first. I should preface this by saying that I haven't watched LMI and therefore don't think I'm particularly qualified t...

Re: Frustrated by the way the person who made this video sees Eli, and the things he does, related to feeding, etc.

I haven't got that far, in the book. But, I've read that Eli is absolutely a boy. That cannot be refuted. In the novel, Eli and the omniscient narrator never describe the character as anything other than han ("he"). In other words, Eli is certainly a "he" in the way JAL wrote the book. I'm not so s...

Re: Frustrated by the way the person who made this video sees Eli, and the things he does, related to feeding, etc.

I read two different years, 81 and 82. I would have been either 8/9 or 9/10, the year the movie was set in. It's autumn 1981 in the book. In the film, the date is moved to a few months later ("6th of February 1982" is briefly visible in the newspaper in the scrapbook scene). Here's the real artisti...

Re: LTROI tumblr art

I see. I'll admit, I've never managed to wrap my head around how Tumblr works. And no worries--I can imagine compiling all the images in the first place is a lot of work as-is. :wub:

Re: LTROI tumblr art

I'd never taken the time to look through this thread from start to finish before. There's great stuff on almost every page, but I think the pieces that resonate with me the most are the ones that diverge from the film. Not that there's anything wrong with the film-inspired artwork (I myself don't ha...

Re: i was watching this :)

I meant this as a reply with a quote included. Why can't I delete my own comment? There should be an "Edit post" button on your own posts. There's a "Delete post" option underneath the edit window. You can also add quotes to an existing post while editing—you don't need to delete and repost it (wor...
