small problem with the pool scene


So the guy who was holding him under, we can assume he was killed last, as him arm jerked, fell in, and then Oskar came up. But for that to be the case, then we have to assume that as Eli slaughtered his friends (which first doesn't make sense because why wouldn't you go for the immediate danger who's holding Oskar under), the guy stood there and continued to hold Oskar down while watching his friends get killed, instead of trying to run

Eli took his head first, possibly killing his one-eared brother at the same time, then flew across to grab the boy in blue tracksuit (that’s his feet you see), then dropping the elder boys head in the pool.
She then took his arm off to free Oskar as presumably his headless body was in some sort of nervous shock.
The little blonde boy was untouched and presumably either saw nothing or looked up and decided to put his head back in his hands to avoid seeing an even bigger horror than he was already hiding from.

Good analysis and well said.
