books that become movies ... Comments
that vampires go out of fashion is well established ...
After Twilight by Stephenie Meyer December 12 will be a film , another book that you took a piece of my heart, has become a movie.
Yes, I'm talking about the classic vampire vampires but not as charming as can be of the Edward Meyer.
I'm talking about Eli.
And Eli is not like the others ...
The book I speak of is "Let me" by John Lindqvist Ajvide .
It is the story of two children. Two children
linked by thin, yet durable friendship.
Never mind that Oskar is a chubby child who is abused by his teammates, forced to grunt like a pig in a sty town ... Why
at his side, when the shadows fall, there is Eli.
Eli is a baby, a special child. Forced by more than two hundred years the age of twelve ... It has a huge strength, is able to change his limbs and teeth, it kills per vivere ma, è solo.
E' sempre stato solo, almeno finchè la sua strada non ha incrociato quella di Oskar.
Memorabile la frase di Eli che spiega ad Oskar perchè uccide " Uccido perchè devo. Non esiste un altro modo. Uccido perchè voglio vivere. Proprio come te."
Il film, tratto da questo romanzo, prestissimo uscirà nelle sale dei cinema svedesi ed è già stato presentato in anteprima ai festival di Rotterdam e Goteborg (in quest'ultimo è stato premiato come miglior film e per la migliore fotografia) ha vinto il Tribeca Film Festival di New York, il festival cinematografico fondato da Robert De Niro, sbaragliando competition from 11 other films, including the Italian "Quiet Chaos."
I really hope it gets here ... Because it is impossible not to fall in love with Eli and his special relationship with Oskar ...
