Although vampires suck human blood, they have always been considered a noble race. They enjoy immortality, but at the same time feel the loneliness and despair brought by immortality. Vampires can only enter the house with the owner's consent, which is why the Swedish version is called Let the right one in in English, and the American version is Let me in. In fact, the story center of the original novel really comes from the ancient tradition of this vampire. . From the title, it can be seen that the American version is undoubtedly more direct emotionally than the Swedish version, but the directness is not Hollywood-style vulgarity, but the cruelty that is different from the aesthetic feeling of the Swedish version. The American version is not only in the characters It is more complete than the Swedish version, and the relationship between the characters is clearer, and it also allows the story to enter the hearts of the audience.

This is a story about loneliness, a human, a vampire, who suffer from different loneliness. Oscar and Avery in the Swedish version, Owen and Abby in the American version, they are all individuals who don't fit in with the environment in which they live.

Owen has low self-esteem and is sensitive. Not only did school life not bring him friends and happiness, but instead, it brought him ridicule and bullying from his classmates. The distortion of his personality made him only play the role of an abuser in the middle of the night with a knife. Thorn trees, peeping into the lives of others in the opposite building in his own room.

Abby has been living at the age of 12. Eternal life has brought her endless loneliness. The friends who used to be around are now old and gradually dying. The fragile life can no longer support the eternal life that Abby needs. Friendship and Ambiguity.

Two lonely lives are just like that. The vagueness of Abby's gender makes it impossible to tell whether their relationship is love or friendship, and they are suspicious to the point that they will never leave. This seemingly beautiful relationship is progressive but transparent. Out of the chilling cruelty, it interprets the paradox of ephemeral and eternal.

The film uses a photo to make the friendship that was full of hazy beauty in the Swedish original suddenly shattered. That father figure was actually the last male lead for Abby. Abby needs friendship and love, but human life is so short and fleeting. Endless loneliness is more terrifying than death. If you can't find eternal life, then use the short to make eternity. When that former friend looked at Abby and said to her, "Can you not see that boy again in the future?" It was really heartbreaking, Zeng Jin's friendship couldn't stand the erosion of time, I was so fragile that I couldn't be with him You will always be with you, jealous, helpless, my position will eventually be replaced, angry, powerless, I can only watch the person I have been waiting for greet the other me when my life is gradually coming to an end.

Painful reincarnation, even if you grasp it, you will lose it again, even if you know your mistake, you are still defeated by loneliness. Whether it is a vampire or a human being, loneliness is the deep-rooted stubborn disease that erodes your heart and dominates your life. The sentence "Can I come in?" carries a lot of expectations and yearning for feelings. The deceased is like this. No matter how deep the feelings are, they cannot match the passage of time or the shortness of human life. We don't have eternal life, we can't have anything that can be measured forever, this is human being, no matter how helpless, no matter how hard you struggle, you will die. In the limited life, I am looking for someone who can make me no longer lonely. I found it, then you Woolen cloth?

  • Créspulo: [to Julia, about the "Invisible Man"] Be careful. The man who was with your sister had very angry eyes. He knows how to be a shadow. If someone feels invisible and is angry at the world, he can be dangerous. He has no lights. Nobody looks at him. He could sneak up on you and before you realise...
