**SPOLIERS** (kinda'...) I don't know... -- the climatic scene made all kinds of emotional sense to me; one character was lacking a caretaker (well, let's call it that, at least), and the other lacked a cool girlfriend -- one with magical superhuman powers to boot!
Also, as supernatural girlfriends go, she would be great; I mean, she couldn't even remember her own birthday, let alone an anniversary -- You'd never get in trouble for being a forgetful jerk again!

I'm talking about the swimming pool scene.

Ohh... -- duh. Okay -- I don't know; she's the magical, supernatural sort of vampire; more like a ghost than a living being (as the post-modern re-imagining of this sort of thing goes), more like what you would see in Dreyer's Vampyr, for example. So, I bought it -- an impulse buy, perhaps; but purchased all the same...

Perhaps we should take this up in a spoiler-free forum, as I still don't think we're talking about the same thing...

Agreed -- please feel free to delete my ill-thought-out, spoiler-ridden comments.

I get what you mean. The swimming pool scene was a bit odd, but it did make me laugh (one of those morbid laughs that people in the theatre look at me weird about.) I too liked the movie, more than I thought I would. And while it touches upon common and obvious vampire "myths," at its heart its a rather sweet love story, which really made it something unique. And it was real pretty to look at, visually, in that bleak way I would expect from a country like Sweden (did that sound racist?)
