This is neither about vampires nor about Lincoln the hunter

Many friends who love vampires are disappointed after watching it, because it has a lot of flaws in the positioning of vampires (what vampires can't kill vampires... the effect of vampire bites is chaotic...)
What exactly is this film going to embody?
Vampires, with superhuman abilities, still rely on creating a system to build a country. In fact, this system of common anger between humans and gods was not created by some demon, but by humans. Therefore, when a person becomes a demon, it is not that he has the strongest power, but that he despises the existence of personality for the sake of satisfaction.
As said in the film, killing vampires to stop evil is childish. So Lincoln's greatness was not in how many vampires he killed, but in how much he respected all of them.
Some people say that Lincoln liberated black slaves not because of his great mind, but because it was in his interests. This statement really bothered me for a long time. Every person who does a great act of kindness actually has a side for his own benefit. After watching this film, I finally understand that it is true that it is impossible to do justice for the sake of justice alone - even if it is to help others to be happy, that is not to help others in pursuit of happiness - but, through recognized evil To satisfy yourself, you cannot be satisfied unless you are a demon.
So this film is neither about vampires nor about Lincoln the hunter, but about the relationship between imperfect justice and pure evil.
