This question has already arisen when watching "Transformers". At that time, people debated a lot about whether the missile on Lao Wei's back at the end of the credits was a credit for Starscream. Many people think it is because the original animation is so popular. It is Sima Zhao that the spider covets Lao Wei's boss status. Everyone thinks that of course he will give Lao Wei a little bit of chaos in the movie. But in fact, Michael Bay, the director of the film version of "Change", has long said that he himself is not a fan of "Change" animation. I think he will not completely copy the original intent of the animation, but make his own movie. Similarly, the movie does not simply put animation on the screen, but exists as an independent work-you can't require that everyone watching the movie be an audience of the animation of the year, or review the animation before watching the movie. Movies are made for everyone who pays to go to the cinema to watch a movie. What it wants to express is only included in the movie. As for other things, those who are interested can read some original books or interpretive books to understand, but that is something that belongs to you personally. Just like "EVA" puzzles can be sold separately, but people who only watch animation and theatrical version also have their own views on the work.
The same is true for this movie. Some people say that ELI is a 200-year-old vampire who was turned into a vampire in 1781. I have seen this, and I have such an impression. OK, no problem. But if I didn't see this, I can also know that ELI is a 12-year-old vampire, but it has been around for many years, just like the LOLI vampire played by Dunst in "Interview with the Vampire" will never grow up. As for whether it is 200 years or 500 years, it does not matter. If there is a plot in the movie that has something to do with her/his life of 200OR500, the director will naturally take a few minutes to explain. If there is no explanation, then the specific number will no longer matter. You can also know that the ELI has changed to what it is now. Over the years, I must have experienced many kinds of people and stories.
The close-up of the lower body shot in the movie is a topic that has been controversial for a long time. I think it is related to the emotional nature of ELI OSKAR, but when I watched the movie, I was already confused about the gender of this little actor for a long time. No doubt the director deliberately found one. The little sex actors wear clothes that are obviously girls' clothes. Whether it is a man or a woman has nothing to do with the overall situation, and the love between humans and ghosts has transcended gender boundaries. The novel says that ELI is an eunuch. If the director really wants to express this "clearly", he can add a close-up of 2 seconds, a stitched scar, but no. To blur a short close-up shot is to set a trap to tell everyone that the gender of ELI is ambiguous. Anyway, there must be no little JJ.
Only youth school vampire movies like "Twilight" will have to look for handsome male vampires and schoolgirl human girls. The well-organized gender and love are things that are photographed for the public. It's like the ambiguous relationship between the old ghost played by Bandallas and Pete in "Interview", is it gay or what? It is already beyond the scope of human biological characteristics, so there is no need to use human gender to measure it, and you don't know if vampires are like human beings. Some novels also hypothesize that vampires drink blood not because of their physical needs, but the same desire for sex as human beings. They can live without drinking it, so some ghosts like to drink everywhere, and some can hold it back. I think this assumption is pretty reliable. People originally "reproduce" by sucking blood and feeding blood.
In addition, although ELI has been alive for a long time, her mind is still a 12-year-old child. My opinion is that her brain activity has been fixed when she became a vampire. Since her body is no longer growing, she has always been a 12-year-old brain, and her mind is limited. , Can only be supplemented with life experience. The Dunst vampire in "Interview with the Vampires" is different, it is young in appearance and mature in heart.
Whether the old man is a pedophile, or the previous OSKAR, I don’t know, it’s not explained in the movie, but seeing the old man’s guilt when he said sorry to ELI for a failed blood hunt is really sincere and touching, and there must be some between them. The touching story is really not like a simple relationship between the owner and the hunter, and if you have only met passer-by A and passer-by B for three months, the old man doesn't need to disfigure his appearance to cover up the identity of the two. As for whether OSKAR will be the next old man, I think that TMD ELI is better than really looking for pedophiles. How much effort has to be spent on ELI to develop this child to an age that can hunt blood? Who will take care of whom in the past few years? what. Moreover, the child's departure must have attracted the attention of the police, which is troublesome. (In other words, the filming of this movie is quite overhead. N people died in a small town, but the police were not dispatched. It was the residents who were doing it themselves. It still made room for the main story.)
As for the lethality of ELI, some people say She was not able to fight enough to find someone to help her hunt blood (I still like to use the word "her"!!), watch the last scene in the swimming pool, drag a little guy on the water (you can see it underwater) The little guy’s legs were dragged from one end of the pool to the other) and the speed of dismembering N people in an instant. It is obvious that biting people usually reduces combat effectiveness. Of course, she was afraid of accidentally creating a new vampire. She twisted his neck after biting the first fat man, so she would be fine. Moreover, when everyone sees tooth marks and bloodless corpses, they think of vampires, and if they are bleeding, they think they are just perverted killers.
Another point is that the vampire background in this film is not a simple biological background, but has witchcraft and supernatural elements. The cat is the guardian of the undead, so it will bite the woman who turns into a vampire. Many people know this, but this also reflects that the vampire in this movie is not only set as a creature different from humans, but There is a magic element, and "invited to enter the door" is also a proof. This statement is affirmed in the myths of Europe, America and Japan, and they all think that the house is a kind of "enchantment" (a Japanese term), and you are not invited. , Evil things cannot come in.
After watching the movie, I feel that this is a story about children looking for feelings and courage while growing up. I was touched by this. It is already worth these 2 hours. You don't have to be too serious about the details.
