Let the Right One In



There are no words to describe the way my heart felt, beat, trembled.

This film is the epitome of beauty, and quite possible the epitome of my personal beliefs. To see your own heart and dreams played out in front of you, words written, spoken, ideas relayed, scenes played, imagined by someone other than you. Is there anything more powerful? More touching and reassuring?

Tears could flow freely when I think of my gratitude for this. There is understanding.

Innocence. Childhood- Intimacy exists here. Honesty lives there. Children- Love is all they are. Truth is all they know.

We learn from them. We must. Let's not insist we are the teachers, let us be humble, let us be curious, let us thirst for innocence lost but can be found.
