Adrian, Peter, R.J., I am reading the book and in it they describe Hakan, the caretaker/familiar, whatever you want to call him. He was always a pedophile, not a young boy like Oskar. The first killing in the movie and book was only his second or third attempt. It wasn’t spoken of in the movie but the book touches on it a bit further. If you want spoilers I can give them to you but suffice to say, he hasn’t been in Eli’s services long. And Matt, that second post was hilarious.

“DVD rant: The copy I rented from Netflix had the English dub set as the default soundtrack. I had to manually change it and add subtitles. Is this the case for retail copies as well?”

I saw the film for the first time last night, and I had this crap happen to me, except I wasn’t able to switch to subtitles. Not the end of the world, as the film’s best parts don’t involve much dialogue, but the dubbing was terrible. Not just because it was dubbing…it was terrible even for dubbing. The fact that I liked the movie anyway is a testament to its crafting, I suppose.

I am clearly months behind but I finally watched this on blu-ray. It was good, but I didn’t get near the enjoyment you (and everyone else) did. I guess I’ll have to watch this again sometime.

I just saw the movie tonight and I couldn’t think of anything but that movie all night… I am looking for the book because a lot of things I would like answered have to be in the book… But all in all 10/10 in my opinion. I heard there is going to be a remake and I don’t understand why would they make a remake of something that was this intense and great… I could understand if the movie didn’t so well… I don’t know me just rambling… But it was a great movie… Twilight are you serious… That movie had me walking out at the very first sentence…

“…the violence, which is wise in its shyness.”

I loved loved loved this about the movie.

I was angry at the way Oskar acted at the pool at the end. Had he learned NOTHING about standing up for himself?

Of course not. In fifty years, he’ll end up cornered in a locker room with a jar of acid too.

Saw it last night, finally. I couldn’t agree more . . . of course, I’ll need to see it a few more times, but I’m already quite sure that this one will eventually (hell, if it hasn’t already?) earn a spot on my Favorite Movies of All Time list.

A wonderful movie — haunting, sad, and beautiful all at the same time. Pure genius.
