He hid his sorrow in his heart, hid it in his windbreaker, hid it in his eyes.
Therefore, he usually cannot see his eyes and his expression.
He will not grow old, nor will he die.
He once rescued more than a dozen children who were abducted by vampires in a village many years, many years ago. And one of them still recognized him, thanked him, and saved him in the year of Fengzhu. Even so, he was expressionless.
He has been walking between heaven and earth, surviving to hunt and kill vampires.
He hates his origin and his blood.
He is a hybrid between the king of vampires and a human woman.
He is not a vampire, nor is he a human. He is a lonely alien.
He is an enemy of vampires, but humans do not welcome him.
He dared not talk about feelings. Because he will neither grow old nor die, he can only be destined to be alone.
At the end of the film, he looked at the funeral of his old friend from a distance, because when fighting together, he had promised her that if no one was buried when she died, he would offer her a bunch of flowers. But he was comforted when he only looked at it from a distance, because this old friend has become a grandmother, has children and grandchildren, and a lot of people offer flowers to her.
He couldn't see any sadness or desolation from his face, but when the wind blew his black trench coat, he was the only one standing proudly in the world. Fortunately, the film arranged a parasite monster living on his palm to accompany him, sending him nagging at any time. Even if he doesn't like to talk, he always ignores this parasitic monster, but there must be a slight warmth in his heart.
The plot is tortuous, the style is romantic and beautiful, and the scene is strong and cool. It is a very good film.
