I came up with this game yesterday, and now I can’t get it out of my head. I have a feeling this is one of the projects that I’ll idealize it so much, I’ll never be able to finish… But what the hell, let’s talk about it!

But first, to understand why this project might take me some time, I wanted to talk about a movie I recently saw, and that has stuck with me since then. It’s a movie that has made me regain my interest in cinema, as I was tired of watching the same stories and recycled characters over and over. It’s a 2008 swedish movie called “Låt den rätte komma in” (Let the Right One In). I sincerely believe this is one of the greatest movies I’ve ever seen.

But why am I so excited about it? Well, for starters, I found the technical aspects were perfect. Music is touching, the photography is gorgeous (even though I haven’t watched it in cinemascope projection) and the casting dida fine job choosing the actors. But what really got me hooked – and that’s what I intend to talk about here – was the way the story is told!

From now on, I’ll have to talk about the movie, so there may will be spoilers… If you haven’t watched it, I suggest you do not read the following, as it may change the way you understand it (and that’s the whole point of this post). :-P
