The vicissitudes of life are true to you

Many people know that children are the deepest puzzles in the world. Maybe they are the simplest individuals, and they are also the most complex individuals. It is not contradictory to say that.

I have always felt that the most appropriate description of the identity of a child is the uninterrupted heavy snow in the film. They are also the products of God, but they will all fall into the mortal world.

Snow, before entering the world, is pure white and clean, but once it falls into the world, it will inevitably be contaminated with all kinds of disturbances from here. They cannot decide how and where they will land, even if they see what is right in front of them. A dirty swamp, unless there is a wind just right at this time, otherwise, they can only fall into the mud without any resistance, and even struggle becomes a luxury. It doesn't look like a comedy anyway.
There are many people who are obsessed with this movie, but those who have more special feelings for it are often those whose personalities and experiences overlapped with those of Oscar and Eli when they were children. The focus of more people's obsession is to have a different partner who looks beautiful and agile, and those who have feelings for this film that they can't express clearly, the focus of obsession is to be with the film. One of the same kind fled, and never betrayed.
Most of these people were not particularly happy in their childhood. Like Oscar, they imagined the person in the mirror as an object of bullying, and screamed in the closed bedroom with a knife; People die cruelly; have a hopeless fascination with violence and loneliness; often stand alone at an empty dining table; watch father or mother hide in the corner of the room, talking on the phone in a low voice; A small place illuminated by the dim yellow street lamps contains a hint of frozen sweetness to share with myself, and sing a hoarse and cracked song to listen to myself.
That's all, not happy kids by any measure.

When Oscar found out that Eli was a vampire, I thought, he must have been scared. But when he looked back at the world he had always been standing in, the scene presented was a sky that was always gray, a painful wind blowing on his face, plants that withered and would never grow again, and a never-ending taste. The cold, where everything is there, there is no reason not to leave. It's better to take a step forward. Even if there is a bloody hug in front of you, there is still a wonderful warmth that you can't feel before. Probably for Oscar, this is this, a world that has never had any human feelings, the only thing left. The last bit is nice.

After a person has suffered from the coldness of life, he no longer has the courage to refuse a piece of clothing that drifts in the cold wind. Even if it is covered with ashes, even if it is as fragmented as himself, he must do his best to seize it and put his own The already frozen body was wrapped.
Because you don't know if you can wait for the next wind after you miss this one.
There is nothing to lose in my life, so bet on the one who comes first, and promise me at least the rest of my life that I don't have to starve in happiness.
Only when you are thoroughly 'starved' can you understand what is truly 'full'.
Don't laugh at a child for saying such things, because sometimes a child is more profound and heartbreaking than you can imagine.

Only 10% of the original author's other novel "Let Old Dreams Die" is written about the story after Oscar left the town with Eli in a box. Through the narration of another person, their ending is probably clarified. oscar and eli exchanged blood and became real ones of the same kind. One of them mentioned a group photo taken by a family. In the background of the photo, there are two vague figures, running at high speed, like predators. It was such a scene full of strange and dangerous smells, but it gave me a beautiful illusion that it was just a pair of innocent children who sneaked out at night and played hide-and-seek.

In the desolate forest, we have the same speed, you can see me, and I can see you, we are hand in hand to shuttle through the world, watching the world shed countless times from a distance, and only send the brightest kiss when we look back You, the taste never expires.


When I face the world, I am an old man, and when I face you, I become a child.

    The most beautiful and elegant vampire movie I have ever seen

  • Foster 2022-04-24 07:01:04

    It's a bit infiltrating, the plot is simple, there are too many empty shots, the Nordic movie is desolate, and it tells the story of the harmonious coexistence of humans and vampires. Enen director must be gay
