Know why I never post on fandomsecrets? I like sharing my shame.

From the trailer, I wanted rather badly to see this film:



...and then I learned the one on the right is not a boy. Now I'm no longer interested.

Migod, could I get any more shallow.

Eli, in the film, is played by a girl, but they dubbed the actress's voice over with a boy's to make her sound more ambiguous.

The character is definitely meant to be a castrated boy, which was a major plot in the original Swedish novel but is hinted at during the movie, but there's only so much they could get to in a film adaptation.

Androgynous, not ambiguous. Yikes.

Totally gonna see it now! Boy, just when you think life is not worth living. :D

Post a mini-review afterward! I would love to read what you think!

Yay! Sorry for my belated comments, should have read the whole thread.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

No, I'm very glad for your comments! This is one case where having the spoilers is a good thing for me!

Yeah, you need to know it hints the right kinks. It needs fandom style warnings on it.
