The things about the grain storage that the stranger thinks about

I didn't see the heroic appearance of Zheng Tai in the original version, but I still watched the American version. Although the general plot has been revealed by spoilers before, and the connotation of the title "Don't Get Close to Strangers" has almost been revealed. However, after watching it, in addition to feeling that there is generally no problem with the plot connection, but some details feel inexplicably discordant, I don't know whether it is a problem of editing or something else. In short, this film made it difficult for me to distinguish whether it was a romance, an action film, a horror film, or something. In the end, it made me feel magically that this is a science and education film, and it can be said that it is a story about a vampire's food.

1. About food storage
As a non-earth person with the attributes of a pseudo-hamster, he deeply enjoys food storage. Food storage can not only meet the needs that may occur in the future, but also satisfy the possessiveness in his heart at this stage. For humans, it's a lot of fun. And for vampires who are always loli-type and can't grow old or evolve, stockpiling food seems to have a different flavor. Through the two relationships in the film, if the age gap is not considered, the little loli vampire chooses Xiao Zhengtai who looks the same grade in the choice of food reserves. This kind of stockpiling is very meaningful.

2. Regarding food reserves
First of all, as a food reserve, the biggest role is to prepare for emergencies. Well, we must admit that the old one was sucked blood out of his dedication, but I can't help but wonder, if If you want to understand yourself, you can just jump right in, why should you take a bite before you die? Isn't this not in a hurry to die? If you don't eat clean, wouldn't it be miserable? So, is this the legend of washing your neck and waiting to die? Under the tone of the whole film, I really want to know whether this behavior is due to the belief in the evil god, the dedication to love, or the mentality of keeping the loli full before dying? unknown.
Secondly, what is the highest state of stockpiling food, that is, to prevent them from being damaged, it is best to reproduce. Very harmoniously, if you eat by breeding, I think the reproductive speed of normal humans should not keep up with the needs of vampires. So, collecting blood for Loli has become another job of stockpiling food. Pry the door, get in the car, wait, shoot, cut the throat neatly, the 4L bottle of Nongfu Spring with a funnel for blood collection, and the concentrated sulfuric acid that you carry with you like glue, these show that you have stored food for many years. Li's good professionalism in hunting. If you are injured, you have to deal with the corpses that may be exposed; if you have a car accident, remember not to reveal your identity, implicate Loli, and the greatness of the Grain Reserve Lord will not only make people cry, probably. However, what I am very curious about is, does the grain reserve know that it is grain reserve? How did you start your hunting career? What kind of sacrifice is required?
In the end, the end of the grain reserve is naturally eaten, there is no doubt. The only question is, can the spoiled grain be eaten? Vampires cannot suck the blood of dead people, that is to say, corrupt blood is poisonous, but what is the composition of such blood different from that of living people? Is it affected by cell autolysis effect? If not, is it related to platelet coagulation effect? If so, isn't the blood that has been stored for a long time all at such a risk? Taking the living blood, the people killed were killed because of a large amount of blood loss, but will the living blood not be corrupted in the bottle of Nongfu Spring? Very puzzled. So, in Loli's life, how many reserves of grain were splashed with sulfuric acid? Isn't this kind of food corrupt? Will it hurt my stomach if I eat it? In short, no matter how many doubts there are, it is still the end of the food reserve being killed. The difference is whether it is killed by Lolita or the police.

3. About the owner
In general, the owner should be responsible for feeding the reserve grain and providing the daily needs of the reserve grain, just like humans raise cats, dogs, pigs, chickens and horses. But in the midst of keeping strangers away, such a formula has been subverted. Let the reserve grain hunt for food and feed oneself, which is the highest state of raising and reserve grain. To reserve food, on the one hand, you need to ensure that your body and mind are in a high-quality state, so as to ensure hunting activities; Kill, meet the needs of the owner, and also be responsible for dealing with all kinds of messes of the owner.
And what is the owner responsible for? Responsible for being arrogant, responsible for grievances, responsible for playing a temper when you are hungry, looking for the next food reserve when you are not hungry, and using your loli appearance to grab wild food when you are very hungry. It can be said that the owner is definitely a schemingist, basically breaking away from the traditional vampire loner, relying on charm and strength to obtain food. Instead, rely on charm to obtain grain reserves, and then start a good life of chicken and egg. Writing this, I can't help but want to talk about old one again, don't be with that boy anymore, isn't this just saying don't leave me in disguise? It was the story that had been repeated so many times that he could already know the ending, but he was still so reluctant to part with it.
Maybe it's out of instinctive jealousy of the same sex, if Lolita vampires can be counted as women, but I have to say that I really have all kinds of sinister speculations about Lolita's mind. The tiredness of the old one has long been revealed. I don’t know if it’s because of age and physical incapacity, or because of the perennial murder, the psychological condemnation that I have suffered, or because I look at my lover who will not change at all. And he was getting old, he said, maybe because he was tired. I may be really old, but my lover is not old, but has also changed. I rudely told myself to leave the wall, and then played Morse code with Xiao San across the wall. I really didn't want to kick the test in that mood.
For all this, is the owner unaware? Still stroking his cheek with his hand, but not giving him a promise. In the face of the new one, the freshman reserves food, but the owner shows great patience, eats candy, saves lives, I wonder if this is the way to win the odl one? How did a weak boy with glasses become such an old murderer? Is encouraging resistance a preparation for killing?
By killing the police in the bathroom and saving Zhengtai in the swimming pool, we can see that although Loli is a Loli, she still has the powerful ability of a vampire, so why do you need to reserve food? Why do you shout angrily, do you want me to go by myself? Is it because it is easier to use food reserves, but I am lazy? However, through the fact that the newborn vampire died instantly and the light from the bathroom caused the skin to crack, it can be seen that Loli is still a very fragile vampire.
Regarding the series of behaviors of the owner, I can't help but guess that this is always repeated, one by one to deceive the little Zhengtai, and when they grow old, and then betray, such a vampire can only be a vampire.

4. Eat some now, save some later to eat
the last sentence of the last scene, I don't know where the singing came from, but Zhengtai eats sugar, but Loli eats blood. Some now, some later, I think that's the theme.

The original title is about the inevitable connection between the stranger and the hamster's food, but I don't know whether it is Li Jian's seductive singing or the sunny afternoon. There are still many deviations in the writing. In fact, Zhengtai's psychological activities are more interesting, but he has no energy to write.
In short, I think this film has nothing to do with love, it is a science and education film about hamsters' food. If you must watch it, watch the original Swedish version.
