Happy Halloween Buddeh! lol

David Martin

There are are so many "rules" in the vampire trope. Can't go out in daylight, can go out in daylight. Need to feed every night, can go for a week or more without feeding. Reflect image in a mirror, no reflection in a mirror. It's whatever suits the author or scriptwriter, and it seems like new "rules" happen every day. One of my favorites is the "The Hunger" series, where the vampires long ago arrived (50,000+ years ago) on Earth from somewhere (never explained) and raised and bred humans like cattle, until they bred them so well the humans became sentient and embraced technology, while most of the vampires just regressed into hiding. One vampire, however, chose a human to be its companion, and "converted" him/her to a vampire. That vampire (not the converted one) is the protagonist in the story. You won't get any of this from the movie, though, which is a poor adaptation. I really like the book series, though.

I think it's impressive they wore those S & G masks through the whole film... what do you mean they didn't?

Simone already making me laugh with her comments about being hungry and empathising with them :D

Moon Logic

Simone's Canadian face responding to George's immigration officer joke was the best :p If you want more Swedish, you should watch Fucking Åmål. It is the definitive Scandinavian coming-of-age film!

JediLounger

As I type this I am watching the movie with you guys, my cat is on the tower in the living room watching the movie with me.

Great, so Eli just groomed and manipulated Oskar to be her next Hakan.. because even though Eli looks like a kid, she actually has the emotional maturity and intellect of a 50 yr old or however old Eli really is.. And we all fell for it just like the writers wanted us to.. sorry, not trying to be a fantasy killjoy here, but I think we're missing who the real "bully" is in this story.. wrapped up in tender scenes with nice music.. just my opinion on my second watch through.. Is this an awesome movie?.. yep!!.. because the writers were able to get over on most of us viewers.. including me on my first watch through 15 yrs ago, but I guess my perception has changed a little the more I mature and get older.. again this is just my own opinion.. thanks for the video George & Simone.. Edit: Bullying doesn't always mean, physical and violent.. Emotional manipulation to get what you want is also a form of bullying.. it's just on the oppisite end..

Martin

George and Simone, at the end of your conversation, you guys both touched a bit on Eli’s relationship with her “father,” and came to the realization that he wasn’t actually her father. This is correct. He isn’t her father. He’s her caretaker. Almost like a human familiar, so to speak. The American remake of this movie (Let Me In) touches on this a bit more. In that movie, they show an old photo of her and a young boy. That young boy grows up to become her caretaker in the movie, while she remains ageless. She befriended him at a very young age, and he became her protector and caretaker so she wouldn’t have to kill for her own survival. That’s why many people mistakenly view this ending as a happy ending. Yes, they run off together, but when you really examine what Oskar now has to become to protect her, all of the things he’s going to have to do in order to ensure she’s fed, as well as the fact he’ll grow old and eventually have to sacrifice his own life to feed her, the ending ends up being extremely dark.

Glad to see you stopped hiding behind your Mission Impossible masks and finally revealed your real faces at the beginning of the video. lol

If you're interested in watching another Scandinavian film, please watch the original (and superior) Swedish version of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Or a 2010 film from Norway called Troll Hunter (not to be confused with the crappy kids TV show) which is also excellent. If possible don't look at the movie cover!

Logan Kerlee

Wow, I'm really thankful to all of the fellow Patrons who voted for this! I had no idea what this movie was, what it was about or who was in it. No matter though - it's a great movie! I know not to expect a sequel and I don't want one!.. but I would totally enjoy learning more about these characters years from then. Seeing how they develop into more mature characters. Oskar obviously will grow old but Eli remain young permanently. So - seeing how they'd navigate that and how their relationship would obviously change over the years. THEN her gender! That was made clear but never mentioned at any point throughout the film. Would his reaction cause any drama or terror? I really wouldn't think so. Oskar seems like a good kid and he's obviously very accepting of people that're different than him. Anyway, yeah! This movie was great! I'm wanting to know more but I don't want a sequel. If there ever is one, I'll totally check it out though.

Tyler Foster

A little tragic: you guys got the inferior subtitle track from the first American home video release of the movie that was ultimately recalled because it removed a lot of the artistry and nuance from the dialogue. One example that stands out to me is that at the beginning of the movie, when Oskar first meets Eli and she's standing in the play area in the apartment complex, he says "Where do you live?" In the version you have, she just says, "Yes, I live here." The proper translation is more playful: "Yes, I live right here, in the jungle gym."

I don't a chance in hell of anyone reacting to the original Girl With A Dragon Tattoo. I'm amazed that Simone and George reacted to this. I agree that the original is way better than the American remake (as American remakes generally are).

David Martin
>>120326906

I didn't realize there were different English language translations. Thankfully, I apparently have the better one.

Monica Alarcon

She had to wait until the receptionist at the hospital said she could come in. I think you missed that... Also the American remake is quite good but unnecessary if you watch this one.

Tyler Foster
>>120328149

This one is definitely better, but I do like the differing tone of the American remake. This one is more tragic, the remake is a little more Natural Born Killers or Bonnie and Clyde or something like that.

Lannisen

If you want a similar film from a customs agent you need to check out Border (Gräns), which is based on a novella by the same author who wrote this one. Well worth the watch!

Monica Alarcon

The book explains it with more detail but yeah, Eli wasn't a girl, at least not at first...

FischerMax98

Fantastic. Aside from the original novel, there is a book (Let Old Dreams Die.) Short stories if I remember correctly. Been a while. Anyway, there is one about Eli and Oskar and what became of them and their relationship. Glad you liked the movie. One of my favorites.

Spacedone

By the end of the film you think back to how Eli's 'father' asks her not to see Oskar again and you realise that maybe he knows that Oskar has been chosen to become his replacement and he knows this because the same thing happened to him when he was a boy. Eli tells Oskar that the first thing she heard him say was his fantasy about stabbing his bully. Perhaps that's why she chose him, because he was already obsessed with death and murder and that would make him ideal to become her next Renfield.

PIG

Checked real quick. Thank you for watching the original! I thought the remake was great but there was no reason for remaking an already great film. Can't wait to watch along again. Suggesting a Danish film: "The Hunt" 2012, or "Jagten" starring the great Mads Mikkelsen (known as Hannibal in the series version). Incredibly intense movie with great social commentary.

Odd Thomas

I think this and Let Me In are pretty equal in quality, just some slight cultural alterations. I recommend another Swedish story The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo - the David Fincher movie, not the original TV movie which is greatly inferior (imo)

MacGuffinStuff

Per George's question about vampires and the blood alcohol content of their victims, there's an episode of What We Do In The Shadows where the vampires drink from people at a rave and start tripping balls. That show is hilarious, love it, the movie was really funny too.

David Martin
>>120340724

Funny, I feel the opposite way about the two versions. I couldn't even finish the David Fincher version.

FranciscoGios

George sorry to hear about your close encounter on drowning, I can’t imagine how you managed to pull through. Simone the author of the same title John Ajvide Lindqvist also wrote the screenplay of this film, similar when Anne Rice wrote the screenplay of Interview With The Vampire; which it’s why these two films are great. Next!! 30 Days of Night or the most recent The Last Voyage of The Demeter. Elias(Elli) is a boy.

Jeff I.

Great reaction, though like someone else mentioned, it's a shame you got the version with different, more simplified subtitles that remove a lot of little nuances from the dialogue. Oh, well! You couldn't know. :-)

Opti_Frog

In Sweden, we are great at exporting music, but rather terrible at exporting movies. Before Let The Right One In, you probably have to go back to the Ingmar Bergman films of the 50s to find Swedish cinema that had any kind of cultural impact worldwide. And this is my rather long-winded way of saying everyone should watch The Seventh Seal (1957) and Wild Strawberries (1957). Yeah, Bergman spat out two stone cold classics the very same year.

George, If you were with me, you wouldn't be here in this strip club shaking it for dollar bills!

🖤I took it as the ending for Oscar and Eli is starting a similar relationship she and her caretaker had, starting a new cycle. He may have befriended her at a young age like Oscar, and like you said as he grew up became her "father" for appearances. But apparently, Eli has been 12 for over 200 years so I don't think her caretaker is a relative. I don't think anyway, I could have missed something subtle in the movie that confirmed they were related.

Lucifer Moon

I am glad I am not the only one who noticed that when Eli asks if Oskar would 'like her even if she was not a girl' she happened to be wearing a shirt with the trans pride flag colors in the right order and there is a very quick scene later showing a massive scar where her privates should be (This scene is exactly at 1:30:35). JK, I am so glad George caught on right away. I know I am not the only one who noticed this and yes it has been confirmed by the key figures who made the film that yes Eli was born male. This was missed by fans of the American adaption as this entire sub-plot was removed as was its supporting scenes. Oh and please to all the people who may not want to accept that part of the story-line that is COMPLETELY FINE but please don't come at me just for pointing it out. Also, I almost drowned twice as kid but was saved be my eldest brother both times and I almost died from falling of cliff but my other brother saved me so I guess I had a lot of near-death events when I was young.

Patreon bonus: George and Simone try Surstromming? Or you could add it to a reaction to Jackass 3…

Michael Green

Great reaction, such an unsettling film if you reach even a little past the surface. Here are suggestions for non-US horror flicks to add to what I am sure is an ever growing list (probably some duplicate suggestions, hard to know what's been suggested to you already) "A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night", "The Devil's Backbone", and "The Happiness of the Katakuris"

100% this. She recognizes that Oskar is a larval serial killer. His fascination with murders and knife clipppings point to this and his joy at Conny's pain, to me, went beyond standing up to your bully. I think Eli grooms Oskar to be her next caretaker. While I'd rather believe in a romantic angle, its pretty clear "she" is a vampire and transcends gender although a romance could still be there, im taking the gloomier road.

Jacob King

The book this is based on is the most disturbing novel I’ve ever read. Highly recommended. She/he was a eunuch or castrati in a medieval court. The director Tomas Alfredson made a spy movie called Tinker Tailor Sailor Spy starring every male British actor you’ve ever heard of. It’s the anti-Bond and absolutely rules. Definitely worth a reaction.

Steve H

Let the right One in.. The Sweedish version; the French version starred "Chloe Grace Moretz"

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is a fantastic movie! Based, of course, on the brilliant spy novels by Le Carré, who himself worked in British Intelligence. I find it funny that he was annoyed by the James Bond novels and movies, and as such decided to write "the realistic anti-Bond master spy": George Smiley.

Robinson vs. Parkinson's

To answer George's question about being the bully... I was in three fights while I was in high school, waaaaaay back from 1988 to 1991, and all three were against people that were bullying other kids. Looking back, I've always felt really bad about two of them, the third was a real douche who wouldn't leave this girl alone in PE. Yeah, yeah, just like in every coming of age movie, right? Looking back, I've often thought that the other two "bullies" must have had some kind of fucked up trauma that made them that way. Even though I was probably right to do what I did, (they all caught at least one punch), and I never got in any trouble for it, I've always felt bad about taking the situation there. Actually, after typing this all out, I'm glad that I feel bad about it. I think that it's a lack of remorse that makes a true bully. Oh yeah, thanks for this one guys, I absolutely loved this movie!

Troy

I'm glad you enjoyed one of my favorite movies! And great discussion. This was based on a book that has more backstory and details, as well as a couple more great interactions between Eli and Oskar. Plus the follow-up short story that hints to what happened to them after.

Middy

I was kind of an accidental bully in school. Confident and outgoing, I guess you could say loud. I'm in the UK where we tend to view insulting our friends as a form of endearment, so I'd do things like make up silly nicknames for random kids and act overly friendly towards them but without actually being their friend. I think I saw it as a way of including everybody (and I guess also acting like a bit of a ringleader), but looking back, they had quite timid personalities so they probably didn't like the way I drew attention to them. I didn't physically hurt anybody though. From my point of view, I was just being funny and they were in on the joke. I guess you could call it a clash of personalities, rather than something with any real malice behind it.

>>120320991

Is a 12 year old brain ever capable of reaching the maturity of a 50 year old? It's not fully developed until your 20s at least, some say 30s. I think Eli just needed companionship and she found somebody else who does too. That's basic survival.

Denashi

I hadn't seen this movie in years but WOW it was just as good as I remembered! Though I'm generally a fan of David Fincher's movies, the remake, Let Me In was sadly not as good, IMO. BTW, the Morse code message Oskar taps on the box at the end translates to: P-U-S-S which is Swedish for kiss!

Persnickity

Simone talking about people with big eyes. I See what you did there. Anya Taylor Joy-con

Good news fellow Fincher fan! Let Me In was a Matt Reeves flick.. Fincher’s Swedish remake was The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.

Calum Grace

If you're looking for more movies from this director, Tomas Alfredson, I'd highly recommend Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011)! Great grounded spy fiction. Also I know it's come up on polls before but another good modern Sweden-set film is David Fincher's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, also from 2011, especially if you're looking to complete your Fincher watches :)

Philipp Roensch

What a great and haunting movie, I prefer this original for it's effective tricks. Also beautifully captures the era and region. More great vampire movies: Daybreakers and the cheesy good Underworld series.
