The original LTROI is amazing. The book is also great. The remake is pretty good but I was disappointed they left out such a key short scene from it.

Spoiler for Spoiler:
The scene where Oskar catches a glimpse of Eli and finally realizes that she's neither a girl or a buy is critical to the story.

I'm not sure but if it isn't you could buy it with extremely slim chances of experiencing buyer's remorse.

The cinematography is almost directly backwards in the new one too because the original wasn't shot in the standard Western style (f. ex. the "good" characters moving from left to right and the "bad" characters moving in the opposite direction).

And re the spoiler, [insert joke about you being a pedo here].

But do you agree?

Spoiler for Spoiler:
Up to that point he at first wanted have Eli has girlfriend. Then she tells him she's not a girl and he's confused to all hell. The brief reveal let Oskar understand that Eli was in fact a boy who had been castrated. Yet moments later he's dancing with him in a very sweet and tender scene.

Spoiler for not stuff about castration:
I do agree, but wish that they had done the castration scene from the book as was originally planned (director bailed after they wanted to film it on a sedated pig).

Absolutely my favorite comedy of the last few years. Good ones are so rare lately.
