The two movies “Let The Right One In” and “Let Me In” are both based on the same novel and made only two years apart . However, the "original" Swedish film "Let The Right One In" is in my opinion, and many critics also agree, better than the "Americanized" remake "Let Me In" for various reasons. Beth Accomando sums up the views best when she writes: "Everything good about the remake comes directly from the original" and I would add that the remake not only follows the original, but also loses certain qualities, which makes it even worse. the arguments arise from the fact that not only were the two films made so close to each other, but the remake claims to be a new adaptation of the novel which many consider to be not so accurate as one critic states : "I've read the book, and there was certainly a lot left when Lindqvist wrote his screenplay. Unfortunately, Reeves hasn't really discovered anything new, on the contrary, there's actually less intrigue in Let Me In than in Alfredson's version was about how subtle it could be. It starts slowly and unfolds as the protagonist gets closer to this strange girl he met. in the completely opposite direction personally, but still contains many elements. For example, the very first scene of the American version is a plot flash-forward featuring a disfigured man throwing himself off a roof and s. apologizing to a barefoot girl who just climbed half the height of a hospital in seconds. This scene pretty much reveals that she is, one: not human and two: the man wasn't actually her father but still cared for her. In the original you don't see Eli, the vampire, in a "monster state" like you do with Abby, the name c...... middle of paper......great movie American. There are notable similarities and the spirit of Tomas Alfredson is present. But Let me in puts emotional pressure in different places and stands firmly on its own legs. Like the Swedish film, it made me cry, but not at the same moments. Let Me In is a dark and violent love story, a beautiful piece of cinema and a respectful interpretation of my novel for which I am grateful. Again." However, one can't help but compare the two and in doing so the Swedish film is simply considered better by most, myself included. Works Cited[1] Accomando, Beth. "Review : “Let Me In”.
