The film tells the process of Abby and Owen getting to know each other and fleeing. The boy is cowardly and bullied, and the girl is a vampire who cannot see the sun and needs blood. In fact, after watching the film, it is difficult for me to define the feelings of girls towards boys. Personally, I don't think girls like boys much. That old man is Owen's future. The old man was once a boy, a teenager, a young man, a middle-aged man, and even old age. For Abby's sake, he murdered and collected blood again and again, until he was old and his movements became inflexible. The clue was found on Abby's body. He took out the prepared sulfuric acid and poured it directly on his head. In the hospital, Abby climbed up to the window and put her palms together with the old man. Her face was still smiling after being destroyed by sulfuric acid. She stuck out her neck for the last time: "I will give you my blood as a goodbye gift. ." The blood from the corner of his mouth was not wiped clean, and the old man had fallen to his death.
As a vampire, Abby can't see the sun, so she needs someone to help her. When Owen knew Abby's identity, he saw a photo, Abby was still 12 years old in the photo, and the boy beside her was the one Owen mistook for her father. Boys and girls from many years ago.
So when we are watching the process of Abby and Owen together, it may be the replay of the old man and Abby together.
In the end, when I saw the girl and the boy talking through the box, and when I saw the train leaving, what I saw was not hope, but despair that was destined to end.
PS: I have only seen the US version.
