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.

    Not a single character has stood up, the president has no advantages, and there are many disadvantages.

    There is a certain imagination in the story, and the action scenes maintain the director's consistent style, which is enough to catch people, but the coherence of the whole story is lacking. btw: The male protagonist is too much like Liam Neeson. . .

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter quotes

  • Abraham Lincoln: My mother was murdered.

    Henry Sturgess: And if I teach you how to murder her murderer... so what? How will that honor her memory? How will that benefit the next boy whose mother was taken?

  • Henry Sturgess: I'd like you to chop this tree down, in a single swing.

    Abraham Lincoln: That tree? It's got to be more than a foot across. That's impossible.

    Henry Sturgess: But it isn't a tree. It's what you hate most in the world. So tell me, Mr. Lincoln: what do you hate?

    Abraham Lincoln: I hate Jack Barts.

    Henry Sturgess: [motions to the tree] Then strike him down.

    [Abe swings, chopping into the tree, but fails to cut it down]

    Henry Sturgess: Well, clearly you don't hate him that much. What do you *really* hate?

    Abraham Lincoln: [swings, but again the tree stays upright] I hate that my mother was taken away.

    Henry Sturgess: Inadequate.

    Abraham Lincoln: [swings] I hate that we were afraid.

    Henry Sturgess: And?

    Abraham Lincoln: [swings] That my mother, father, everyone that we knew, lived in fear!

    Henry Sturgess: Pathetic.

    Abraham Lincoln: [swings] I hate that I was too small!

    Henry Sturgess: Weak.

    Abraham Lincoln: Yes!

    Henry Sturgess: And that you failed.

    Abraham Lincoln: Yes!

    Henry Sturgess: To protect her.

    Abraham Lincoln: Yes!

    Henry Sturgess: That you... Let her die.

    [With a roar, Abe swings, chopping straight through the trunk of the tree and toppling it to the ground. Abe looks stunned]

    Henry Sturgess: Power, Lincoln, *real* power, comes not from hate, but from truth.
