I just wan...Oh hey it's Mr. Late To The Party.<br /><br />I just wanted to chime in that though I have mixed feelings on Lindqvist myself (skewing a bit more on the positive end then yours)I think the gender confusion in "Let The Right One In" did have a point given that it underlined the stunted nature of the relationship that Oscar was essentially sacrificing his life for (This is also why I think Let Me In is the superior adaptation because Richard Jenkins... hey nother tangent).<br /><br />True it would be impossible for any sort of mature sexual relationship to develop between the two anyway, given that one is an immortal child. But having this sealed, as it were, by actual gential mutilation as a total impossiblity underlines the stunded half life the kid is signing himself up for. <br /><br />Just my late two cents.
