I saw the 3rd film in the series. Loved it. A beautiful film about loss and mortality through the eyes of a child. The only things that spoil it are the curses of modern cinema, rememberberries and the necessity to end with a set up for the sequel. The last two minutes creates such a tonal whiplash that it almost spoils a very good film.

So I thought perfect fan edit material.

My suggestions thus far, splice in footage from a suitable film to give a more clear introduction to the Swiss marines

Cut the rememberberries from Eric about his friend the delivery driver (oh yes…just like the guy in first film.ha ha ha…no).

Stop the film with the islanders reading the letter and Spike’s dad distressed or maybe with Spike cooking the fish pondering his next move but no Jim’ll Fix It scene.

Possibly some sort of montage that explains how the French halted their outbreak from the previous film.

It’s a very watchable film in its current state, not as horrific as the first one but more melancholic and poignant. It just needs a little TLC.

Any other observations and suggestions?
