Let The Right One In

I'm usually not heavily effected by movies afterward. After Kontroll, I didn't think about it much. I haven't had much time to think about this movie either. Right after it was over, though, the room looked different to me. That doesn't happen. I don't know if it was because I never looked away or because I was so wonderfully disturbed, but it was a really odd feeling.
I definitely liked the way the camera barely moved. It made it seem like I was right there watching because people don't move like cameras. If we're watching something, we stay still. The distance of the camera was always close up enough that you don't see anything happen or far away enough that you don't see anything happen. One of the scenes that stuck with me was when Oskar arrived at his father's house and greeted him outside in the snow. It was so far that you could barely see them, but it was probably the one image that I see when I think of the movie.
Oskar's character was fascinating enough just by the look of the actor who played him. He looked like a little baby. He couldn't have seen more innocent. He slept in just his underwear. He WAS a baby. But then he carried around this knife, but you know that it's not his fault. He also would do little things like hum and the way he walked was strange. I loved the character who was one of the bullies but cried when he was beating Oskar. Oskar just stood there and closed his eyes and the one doing the beating cried. And I felt sorry for both of them. Another great little thing was the second time Oskar was talking to Eli and he told her to go home and then he smiled a little.
When we talked about Kontroll there was a part when the guys were talking and they sounded like they were in a small room. In this movie, every bit of dialogue sounded like they were in a small room, even if they were outside and half a mile away from the camera. It worked, though. There were a few times when all you could hear was breathing. Also, the gory things were all heard, but not seen. You just know what's happening.
Hakan was a really interesting guy. He would kill people and drain their blood and feed it to Eli to keep her alive. He must have really loved her. When he gets caught, he pours acid on his face so that he can't be identified. Even though he knew that Eli and Oskar had something going on, he still tried to help her. It was like he was so afraid to lose her that he would put himself through so much danger for her so that she couldn't leave him.
The way I saw the rubix cube was that both Eli and Oskar had the power to solve it, but only Eli knew how to use it, and she would try to teach Oskar to use his power, too. This is like how they both had the ability to kill, but Eli knew how and when to use it, and she taught Oskar.
I thought plotpoint 1 was when Hakan died because then Eli and Oskar were both alone and they both needed each other. And I thought plotpoint 2 was when Oskar told Eli she could come in because he was accepting her vampireness.
I can't figure out if it was a happy ending or not. I think it is because I felt happy at the end. I felt happy because he was unhappy where he was and he was without her, and now he was going somewhere else and he was with her.
