The purest fairy tale

Another movie review I wrote a long time ago. I re-read it and felt a little emotional, and finally decided to make this article public. If there is any childishness, please forgive me.
-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------


Most of the people who watched the movie held two different opinions about the movie Points and opinions, the first point of view is that the girl has a very deep city, and she is purely deceiving the boy's feelings, making him his next "father", using him to kill people, and providing himself with fresh blood. The second point of view, and also my point of view, is that the relationship between a girl and a boy transcends racial constraints, transcends the constraints of time, the greatest, the purest, the most selfless, the true love that is not mixed with the slightest deception or use! I've read a lot of reviews about this movie, and many of them have the first view, but please don't sneer at the first view after reading my review, or say I'm too Too naive. On the contrary, it is not that I cannot see the dark side of the world or the cruelty of the truth. I have lived most of my life in darkness, and even now I can only see dimly the faint, wobbly ray of light in the distance. But people like me, who are full of haze in their hearts, are more eager for a trace of spiritual comfort, so when I watch this dark fairy tale full of melancholy, sadness but innocence and dreams at the same time, I am more inclined to look to the bright side. to understand. After all, what we see is a fairy tale, and what people experience is life.
Having said that, the film review is as follows:
The content of this film is profound, endowed with connotations, and has a deep satire on human nature and society. It contains a variety of emotional factors, such as the wonderful, poignant and dreamlike emotion of a boy to a girl. The girl's "father" is selfless to the girl and is willing to give her all his unforgettable love for her. As well as the painful struggle in the girl's heart and the complicated feelings she has when facing others because of her special status. This slightly dark, melancholy film gives people a touch of sadness that can't be relieved. Complicated emotions, blood, shabby and decadent apartments, aesthetics, sadness, depression, depression, loneliness and helplessness, all kinds of different elements are put together to form an almost perfect black fairy tale.
When the boy and the girl met for the first time, the girl said to the boy, "Just to let you know that I can't be your friend." The boy was puzzled and asked, "Why?" The girl said, "There is no reason." Then he went straight leave. This passage made a deep impression on me, and it was only after watching the whole movie that I understood why girls didn't want to be boys in the first place.
The girl is a vampire, she is immortal and youth is eternal, but when her life is too long, she can slowly experience the torment of her friends who are slowly passing away but helpless. All the people around her are buried in the ground and turned into a pile of dust. The memories of them cherished in their minds have become blurred and faded with the passage of time. Only the cold tombstones remind the world that they once existed in this world, and that people's short and fragile lives cannot be accompanied. She is eternal, they all leave the girl, become an inconspicuous speck of dust in the torrent of history, and only she herself slowly enjoys a lonely and infinitely empty eternal life. Loneliness and loneliness made her long to be friends with others to fill the emptiness in her heart, but she was also afraid of the hurt and grief she would bring when her friends left. This complicated feeling made the girl extremely contradictory.
The boy's life is also full of darkness, sadness and loneliness. The divorce of his parents when he was young made him feel no family affection, and his mother's care for him only stayed on the lips. He is alone, without friends, and without family and friendship, the boy becomes inferior, cowardly, and timid. At school, he was often belittled and bullied by his classmates, which made his heart full of pain slowly distort. He tried to put on a cold mask and hide his true self in the deepest part of his heart. The boy wears his winter clothes wherever he goes, wrapping his frail body tightly, and the heavy clothes are in stark contrast to his classmates who only wear casual clothes at school. Because he was afraid of the cold, the boy never participated in swimming lessons. He sat on the shore and watched the lonely figures of his classmates playing in the water, which seemed out of tune with the surroundings. He wanted to be strong and have the courage to recover his lost dignity from the hooligans who often bullied him at school. More than anyone else, he longed to communicate with others, to laugh with others, and to expel the desperate loneliness deep inside him.
The gears of fate are slowly turning, pushing history forward. That night, I was extremely lonely inside, and the empty boy and girl met by chance. After that, the friendship brought by the Rubik's Cube made them inevitably the closest friends. For the girl, the boy steals money, takes her to the arcade to play games, and goes shopping in the store. And the girl willingly ate the sugar that was like poison to her for the boy.
Since becoming a vampire, the girl has lived in the dark forever. A meaningless and purposeless life filled her heart with darkness and despair, but the happiness after meeting the boy made her feel the light and hope only when she was with the boy, when she and the boy hugged tightly together. When they were together, she knew that she was not alone. He was extremely inferior since he was a child. Under the guidance of the girl, the cowardly boy slowly built up his self-confidence and dignity. He had never had a friend before and felt the taste of friendship for the first time, sweet and happy.
When the girl entered the boy's house without permission, she was punished for violating the ancient curse that "vampires cannot enter the house without permission", and she trembled in pain, blood dripping from her body. The boy was not frightened by the blood-covered girl. He turned and ran away. Instead, he hugged the girl tightly and said loudly, "Stop! You can come in! You can come in!" The girl leaned on the boy's shoulder and said weakly. : "I know you won't leave me alone." At that time, the boy knew that he fell in love with the girl and didn't want the girl to suffer any harm, whether the girl was a human or a vampire. Their love has already transcended race, cognition, time, and life and death. They broke all kinds of rules with love. The true love between them truly transcends everything that exists in the world...
In killing the police officer Later, she told the boy that she had to leave here, but the boy did not answer, his eyes were full of reluctance and love, he knew that the girl had to go, because the only way to continue living in the apartment was to be captured by the police. Before leaving, the girl gave the boy a scarlet kiss with a mouth full of blood. The boy did not choose to avoid it, but accepted it calmly. After the girl left in a taxi, the boy silently looked at the courtyard under the apartment from the window, as if recalling every bit of his experience with the girl. He shed two tears, which contained pain, reluctance, and nostalgia. Melancholy, helplessness and deep love for girls. He couldn't bear her, but he had no choice.
Back at school, he was nearly killed by four gangsters during swimming lessons, and when his life was on the line, the girl's timely arrival saved the boy. It turned out that the girl did not leave, but silently guarded the boy's side and protected him.
At the end, the boy and the girl took the train towards the light and embarked on an unknown journey in the distance. Even if the boy knew that this was a road of no return, he would choose to go on firmly and silently. Because girls are everything to him. For love, he has no regrets.
