Just to see the pretty boy

It is not shy to say that I watched the movie only after being bewitched by a friend. He tried so hard to describe the beauty of the blood-sucking boy, so much so that an incomparably coquettish image was drawn in my mind.

And the image of Eli in the movie disappointed me a bit. The facial features and big bags under the eyes are not delicate at all, and there is no Nordic feeling at all. It was Oscar, the boy who made my eyes shine, with platinum-blond hair, pale blue eyes, tender red lips, and skin that was white and transparent in the sun, like a finely crafted porcelain doll. My current idea is to take such a lady home and raise it, and watch it every day. (Midnight Theater in Aunt BT's Brain)

The next thing is to be driven by corruption. Eli is a eunuch, and he repeatedly asks Oscar if he is not a girl, will he still like himself. Oscar didn't even hesitate to ask for a relationship, so even if he knew Eli's vampire identity in the future, Oscar still stayed with him as always. This kind of feeling goes beyond the bottom line of morality. It can also be said that only innocent children will intuitively make decisions that require a lot of courage for adults.

Oscar and Eli seem to be happily riding the train to the distance, but after thinking about it, who can guarantee that Oscar is not the next disfigured old man. Inside Eli's immortal body is the vicissitudes of a hundred years. When he is tired of it, he will look for a new partner. And how Oscar will end is still unknown, and this is the fate of the vampire.

actually. It is mentioned in the film that as long as Oscar doesn't invite Eli to get in, Eli can't approach Oscar casually. But the reason why vampires can become a legend sought after by thousands of people is because of their irresistible charm. Before them, mankind had to surrender.

For those who are caught in the blood-sucking complex, the charming man with pale color and deep eyes is the real right one.
