Though yes, you clearly distanced yourself from it as soon as bringing it up. I guess it put me in mind of saying something like, "I went into <i>Let the Right One In</i> expecting to be suffocated by a Swedish version of <i>Twilight</i>".<br /><br />Anyway, I was very impressed with the film, and wish it could be made mandatory viewing for certain couples on Valentine's Day. :)Loren Rosson IIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15002312216839280976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294916540840535575.post-69454998000193935212011-02-04T15:20:17.528-08:002011-02-04T15:20:17.528-08:00Plus, the idea of Gosling coming from a battered f...Plus, the idea of Gosling coming from a battered family history and a lower-class background and seeking a more affluent woman is shared across both films.Carson Lundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10164962777812861110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294916540840535575.post-29429678983085463682011-02-04T09:58:04.357-08:002011-02-04T09:58:04.357-08:00C'mon, Ryan Gosling, a pretty blonde, an idyll...C'mon, Ryan Gosling, a pretty blonde, an idyllic relationship? It seemed an adequate first comparison.
