I accidentally watched the American version of Don't Get Close, and I always felt a little bloated in my heart, so I read a lot of comments about it, and finally watched the Norwegian version of the movie, and also bought a book to read.
In fact, I prefer the American version to the Norwegian version, maybe it's a preconceived idea.
The picture in my mind is always frozen at the moment when Owen left with Ellie hidden in the suitcase. The sunlight outside the window cast a golden glow in the suitcase, but they don't know if they can see hope in the future.
Two twelve-year-old children, two lonely hearts met, this may herald the end, what is the contrast between the two's innocent love in this noisy society, and maybe Owen will become the same after many years. Like the existence of a father, perhaps this is just a new cycle, but the moment they met, the innocence that moved them will surely remain in my heart forever.
In fact, I like the so-called father of Ellie. Compared with the old pedophile in the Norwegian version of the book, I prefer the identity of the lover in the American version. Their encounter may be so unforgettable, I don't know who he is How to get over it, as time goes by, it is first lovers, brothers and sisters, father and daughter, and maybe grandsons later, roles are changing, and what kind of torment is in his heart. But he loves Ellie. Thinking about in today's society, who would keep a lifetime commitment for the throbbing of childhood, he could have chosen to walk away, but he didn't, even in Ellie He didn't give up when he refused his request to see Owen no more. Think about how lonely he was when he knew Ellie had another new love. Even at the end of his life, he chose to offer his own blood and give up his love. The guilt of not being able to take care of her in the future.
But all this can't be blamed on Ellie. If you want to blame it, it's the people who cruelly turned Ellie into this shape. It is those perverts who have caused such an endless cycle of tragedy.
I believe Ellie is innocent, maybe he has to make some concessions in order to survive, but his love for Owen is real, if she is a mature, old witch with superpowers like vampires, I can imagine There are countless ways to get money, build a huge business to get the blood on which to survive, it's not difficult for a vampire who has the least time and superpowers. Ellie's heart will always stop at the age of twelve, a lonely twelve, and that's why he and Owen will be together and snuggle with each other.
Sometimes I can't help thinking, what will happen to Owen and Ellie in the future? Is it another cycle? Owen will grow up, mature and grow old, but Ellie is only 12 years old forever, and he will choose to become another vampire. , Or in order to get blood for Ellie, I would rather watch myself grow old and watch the generation gap between Ellie and myself getting deeper and deeper. . .
I also remembered the 12-year-old Matilda in "That Killer Isn't Too Cold" asking Leon if life was always so hard, or if it was just childhood. Lyon said: "Always.
Owen. . . Ellie. . .
