After I die, can you bring me a flower?

Vampires should be regarded as the first demon in the West, and related film and television works can be traced back to 1922. The black night, the red blood, the shining cross, the red-eyed bat in the moonlit night, the towering Gothic castle, the gorgeous and complicated lace dress, the pale face under the wide-brimmed top hat...Always this arrangement of elements combination.

What happens when western elements meet eastern deconstruction?

Hideyuki Kikuchi first published [Vampire Hunter D] in 1982. The movie version released in 2000 was supervised by Yoshiaki Kawajiri, produced by Madhouse Animation Studios in the United States, and was set by Yoshitaka Amano.

After watching the opening ten minutes, I was so excited that I wanted to call it ~ the gorgeous persona, the details were exquisitely depicted, the cutting was neat and smooth, and the plot was over. The battle scene is so cool ~

Finally, Charlotte was killed by the vampire who turned into Meier. Thinking of [Frightening Four Hundred Years], Winona Ryder finally killed Gary Oldman with a sword. Perhaps no matter in the East or the West, the love between men and women is always not blessed, and the bond is always too deep. Only death can (maybe still not) cut the love thread. So D only visited Leila's grave quietly after a few years.

I walked lonely and heavy all my life. Can you bring me a flower you like? If there is nothing to look forward to in this life, I hope there is a bouquet of flowers at the grave. Leila thought so in her heart. To live without hope with hatred, killing has become instinct. That's why I saw Charlotte and Meier's love, and my eyes widened and petrified on the spot. This was originally a feeling that she couldn't understand and couldn't forgive. After being hit again and again, she was sure that it was true, and then she made up her mind to say enough loudly. When the rocket ascended to the sky, she prayed with tears and said please, that is also the realization of a kind of ideal of love, and then you can start a new life.

She is lucky.

I remembered that someone once said to me: "After I die, don't burn paper money, draw me a pig. I am willing to be a pig in your pen in the next life." Suddenly I wanted to cry.

    [at a funeral, a young girl spots a stranger]

    Girl: Hey, mister! Wait! Mister, wait! Um, excuse me, sir, but I was wondering if you knew my grandmother Leila... Yes. It's you, isn't it? My grandmother told me about you. So, I'd be honoured if you could come to our house. My father would be so happy...

    D: I appreciate the kindness.

    Girl: Oh, come on, we don't live very far...

    D: I just came to keep a promise I made to an old friend. She was afraid no one would mourn her death. I'm glad she was so wrong.

    Girl: Okay, I guess I see... anyway, thank you for coming.

    [D smiles at her, and rides out]

    Girl: Goodbye. Goodbye!

    Left Hand: Well, that was nice. You're not so bad after all... you just dress bad.
