Although it is the same as many vampire-themed movies in Europe and the United States, this "Never Come Near" is also adapted from a novel, but whether it is a novel or a movie, it can be called an anomaly in this "genre". No fancy costumes, no dazzling special effects, no contrived sensationalism, the story unfolds slowly in the snowy suburbs of Stockholm in the 1980s. A little boy named Oscar lives with his mother. His single-parent family makes him autistic, and because of this, he is often bullied by his classmates. One night, he was holding a small dagger and using a tree in the snow as an imaginary enemy to vent his anger, a little girl of his age mysteriously appeared...
As an independent film, "Never Come Near" has just the right balance between art and commerce, making it attractive to many moviegoers. The benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees the wisdom, and seeing many people will naturally lead to many debates about the plot, and most of them focus on whether there is a pure love between Oscar and Ellie, or whether Oscar is just another blood collection tool. What’s interesting is that those who hold the “love theory” tend to speculate rationally: 12-year-old Oscar is too young to take on the heavy responsibility of a phlebotomist, and if 200-year-old Ellie is really clever, she should dress up when she first meets Oscar Gotta show up as an attraction. The supporters of "tool theory" are rather sentimental. They regard the two snows at the beginning and the end of the film as a symbol of reincarnation. Furthermore, Oscar used the same stick used by the previous phlebotomist to dispose of the corpse when he injured his classmates. Meaningful "handover" hint. The two arguments hold their own, and one can't help but think of the famous koan in "Zhuangzi. Zhuangzi said, "It's the pleasure of a fish to swim with ease?" Huizi said, "You are not a fish, so you know the pleasure of a fish?" Zhuangzi said, "You are not me, you know that I don't know the pleasure of a fish?"
In many films or novels about aliens, the creators use the logic of human beings on earth to set alien species, and in the end, everything should be surrendered to the logic of human beings on earth. Morality is always noble, and sentiment is always beautiful. This is the logic of the people of the earth. However, who stipulated that this is also the must-following criterion for all things in the universe? Anyone who exists as an independent individual, the way of thinking, without exception, starts from oneself and deduces others. Therefore, even though ONE WORLD ONE DREAM expresses the ultimate desire for world harmony, the fact is that everyone has their own world, and the world in each person's eyes is completely different from the world in the eyes of others. People are like this, how can a ghost be? Who says Ellie's love for Oscar is pure love? Who said that Ellie's face-to-face is not a more powerful lure than flamboyant? Who says twelve-year-olds don't make it easier for people to let their guard down and become better hunters? Who said Ellie didn't make up her mind to grab Oscar from a baby because of the failure of the old phlebotomist? Who said Oscar has to become a "blood collection tool"? Who said that stick and that snow were more than a coincidence? Who said Oscar's parents couldn't find him and leave Ellie the next day? Who says Oscar won't change his mind halfway through and must grow old by Ellie's side and turn into food in the end? Who says Ellie doesn't suck Oscar dry before the train arrives? Who says vampires are not afraid of AIDS? Who said Ellie wouldn't get hit by an earthquake in front of a church and get stabbed in the heart by a cross falling from the church spire? Who says that train doesn't arrive at some time-shifting island in the South Pacific after a flash of light? Who said that a brilliant warlock would not meet Ellie under the Leaning Tower of Pisa... In short, if anyone is serious, they feel that their guesses are correct, and if they are serious, they feel that their guesses are correct and therefore disagree with If I were the author, and if I had an open ending, the audience would be the one I would most like to see. They were bombarding each other with dissent.
Of course, I'm not John, what's the joy of knowing John?
