    Character Evaluation

    Tomas'Sputte' Alfredson is a director who grew up under the nurturing of the Swedish national film industry and is deeply influenced by the Swedish children's film tradition. This makes his movie world always full of lonely children, broken families, lingering despair and sadness, and permeated with a strong sense of empire. Whether it is the vampire legend in the movie "Let the Right One In" or the spy story in the movie "Tinker", he has handled it by shooting children and family-themed movies. He has always insisted on viewing the world he lives in from the perspective of a Swedes, so that his works are always permeated with a strong Swedish style. Therefore, the dialectics of nationality and cosmopolitanity has the most vivid expression in his films.  .
