Go and save, stay and forget.



Scarlet Invasion, a movie from Northern Europe.



Its hue is like the cold of the Nordic winter, and the closeness of language makes me return to Sweden in those days.



This movie, you can never equate it with an ordinary love story to chew aftertaste.



Life may be an island.



Lonely people are destined to come together, even if it's just a journey.






I have watched a few Nordic movies. Generally speaking, they have inherited the unique coldness, depression, and despair like black gold, which are expressed in gray tones, which is not an exaggeration.

Vampire, the eternal theme of the movie.



The old man and the little girl Eli, father and daughter in name, he killed people for her in the middle of the night.



The lonely 12-year-old Orscar and the seemingly 12-year-old eli accidentally met, pure and simple. Orscar was bullied by other children in school, he could only endure it silently, until he met Eli and learned from her how to be strong. She said she would fight for a tooth for a tooth, and he did it, fighting for himself.



The snow season in Northern Europe is long and pale, just like Orscar's pale cheeks and Eli's tired and helpless eyes.



It doesn't matter whether it is love, existence, or other relationship between them.



As pure as ice and snow, Oscar finally has a friend of his own, who can lend her the Rubik's Cube to play with, and even open up his heart to tell her the fact that he was bullied at school.



The dying old man, when he went to kill for her again, was discovered that he burned his cheeks with sulfuric acid in order to prevent people from doubting the little girl. Finally in front of the hospital window, he asked her to suck up the last drop of her own blood, and fell heavily on the cold snow. The half-skeleton face seemed to continue a long period of sadness, with nowhere to escape ending. He once said that I was trapped.



This kind of picture is cruel or poignant. When you face a pair of bright children's eyes, only heartache is left, and it hurts into the bone marrow.



Orscar and Eli are happy together, she told him that she is not a girl, and he said, that's okay. Her naked body was close to him, and her blood-stained lips kissed him.



It seems that for a 12-year-old child, this movie breaks a lot of taboos, but I didn't find it difficult to accept it at all. Because they are too real and simple. She said that if you go, you will keep; if you stay, you will forget.



They talked with the password they learned from the book.



Many people are speculating that orscar is the reincarnation of the old man when he was young, and even saying that orscar is the next slave captured by eli, he will also embark on the same fate as the old man.



Indeed, in the last scene of the movie, she rescued him from the pool and killed the children who bullied him by the pool. Orscar opened her eyes from the water. Only her pupils were bloody, but bright and clear. Eye. He laughed, ignoring all the blood, as if he had pushed a person to death for her. Perhaps death is insignificant in his eyes, only eli.



Really, he found a friend of his own, and for this, he can go on the road with her.



On the train, with a smile on his face and immature hands, he knocked out the code on the cardboard box and kissed you. The movie ends.



This is a very complicated movie.



A touch of white, blood invades.
