Even Life has an if in it, but the cruelty of time is that it doesn't allow assumptions.

If she hadn't been his reincarnated lover, if he hadn't become a blood-sucking demon who had lived for 400 years and betrayed God for the sake of love. If only they were just the gentlemen and ladies who stumbled across the bustling London streets.



"Look at me, look at me", Count Dracula eagerly looked at Mina who was passing by Pingting across the street, and prayed in a low voice. Mina stopped thoughtfully at the corner of the street and turned around as if looking for something. After several reincarnations, there are still those bright eyes.

For this moment, he waited for four hundred years.

Then, like ordinary lovers, we can spend a bright afternoon in London, watch Shakespeare in the theatre, and enjoy a romantic dinner in the restaurant. just if.

In the eyes of vampires, the cinema seems to advertise the take-off of science and the progress of civilization, just like Louis sitting in the cinema in "Interview with the Vampire" and muttering: "I can finally see the light and the sunrise", although it is false of. The light from the curtain cast on Brad Pitt's gray-blue eyes, before he got married, divorced, had a lot of children, and didn't have the goatee of La Hawthorn.

For Count Dracula, who spent four hundred years of darkness in the shadowy forests of Romania, everything in London reminded him that, really, four hundred years have passed, and this is a brand new era. He finally couldn't help expressing the deepest confession to Mina: I have crossed oceans of time to find you.

Mina understood the Romanian that Count Dracula kept repeating in a low voice. She saw undulating mountains and blooming flowers, "That's my hometown!" And, "Oh, princess... princess' heart, that's a broken river." It turned into a crystal diamond in the palm of the earl.

When the memory is awakened, the fate is reversed again. "God forgive me, I love you." Mina cried and begged "I want to be what you are. See what you see - love what you love." For Dracula, four hundred years of loneliness was about to come Gone forever, he and Mina will usher in eternal life - and eternal love. Then sacrifice with the blood of death, drink the blood of sin, and follow you to hell, forever and ever. The lover came back, and the memory was retrieved, but at the end, Dracula stopped, and a vampire shed tears that only humans have and said: I love you too much to hurt you.

Then, everything goes back to square one again. Turns out time really doesn't stand up to jokes, it doesn't allow us to have room for assumptions. In fact, the ending was written four hundred years ago, wasn't it? Or maybe this is God's punishment for Dracula, punishing him for turning his back on the light and going into the darkness, punishing him for taking the death of others as his life, his own love is greater than everything else, and the love and life of others are inferior to ants. I saw someone on the Internet sighed: "If there is a vampire who loves me for four hundred years..." That is the most incomprehensible thing I can do. I can't bear to watch one person endure so much suffering and have to harm more people because of his obsession with memory. Dracula is selfish and arrogant in his own love, and disdains to completely destroy the comfortable life of Mina and Mina's lover Jonathan.



From the Twilight series to "Interview with the Vampire at Night" to "Four Hundred Years of Fright", the vampire themes I have been exposed to are limited to this, no more or less. Death and eternity, blood and love, rage and abstinence. Do you love me? Will you love me forever? "Eternity" is a question that no human being can answer, only vampires can. Humans don't talk about eternity. Suddenly no longer in love, and there is no need for a reason to send a text message to say goodbye; life after marriage is like a taut string, it is better to divorce each other quickly, and who can expect to talk about eternity. The strong contrast between the story and the reality makes people not believe in eternity, but long for love forever.



"If only I could have known you earlier." "If there was a if in this world."

Therefore, this assumption does not hold. We have no control over time, we are not vampires. We cannot have eternal life, eternal love, the power of storms and the beasts of the earth, like Dracula. We only have a small fraction of a fraction of a second that make up our limited lives. However, I am willing to use my present time to say to you: I love you.
