History is reincarnating

It's more of a film about history than a vampire genre. Although it is inconsistent with history, the words at the beginning and end of the film are the best witness - the reincarnation of history. Vampires are pathetic, Henry is like that, caught in an infinite life, watching his companions go away one by one. In this way, it is not difficult to understand why he wanted to turn Lincoln into a vampire. In fact, this movie touched me deeply, maybe it was not what I understood it was meant to express.
——History remembers the battlefield, but ignores the killing.
History will always remember the good side, but throw the dark side into the abyss. History is not complete, as Lincoln said: If history has a record for me, it is only a small part of the truth.
Old times at first, modern times now. Henry's words haven't changed, everything is just like reincarnation. Perhaps, history is reincarnating. Vampires are forever caught in this endless cycle, with infinite time, great power, but nothing to do.
Maybe it's all in a loop.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter quotes

  • Will Johnson: [entering the store, with his back to Lincoln] A stock boy reading a law book. What? Studying to be a lawyer?

    Abraham Lincoln: As a matter a fact, I am.

    Will Johnson: Alright, what about a little test? What's the law for free slaves in the north?

    Abraham Lincoln: According to the Fugitive Slave Act of 1793, Enforcing Article 4, Section 2 of the United States Constitution: "All runaway slaves must be returned to their owners." However, personal liberty laws state that: "Anyone born free cannot be taken under this act."

    Will Johnson: [turning slowly] I heard a good woman once say, "Until we are all free, we're all slaves."

  • Adam: [after Lincoln's attempt to help the slaves] Bravo, Mr. Lincoln! Bravo. You're even better then I've heard. A shame to sacrafice so many of my best men... but I needed to know if you were up to the task.

    Abraham Lincoln: [being held down by Vadoma] What do you want with me?

    Adam: To see you liberated. To see you rise up and destroy your oppressor.

    Abraham Lincoln: [angrily] That's interesting coming from a slave owner!

    Adam: Men have enslaved each other... since they invented gods to forgive them for doing it.
