I really like the wonderful performances of Moco Lorez and Kodi Smit-McPhee. I have watched this movie three times, and I will give my humble opinion here and briefly explain my understanding of this movie:
Regarding the ending, About pedophilia, about the theme of the whole movie, there are conspiracy theories and skeptics, but I think the film is about the pure love that transcends life and death, transmigration, and transcends races. The so-called touching is to empathize with you, to evoke similar experiences in you, and to touch the weakest part of your heart unconsciously. Owen's childhood was painful and dark after being bullied and his parents divorced. When he meets Abby, who has experienced vicissitudes and sophistication, who seems to be cruel but is actually tender, his fate is also changed. Each of us has a different life experience. When you have been through ups and downs, and you have been ridiculed and ridiculed, why don’t you expect something from your heart, more care and more warmth in your heart, and you can live in this cold world. A little relief?
If you have seen the cut clips in the US version, you will know that Abby has a very unfortunate past, which is very similar to Owen who had a gray childhood. He also drifts in the cold and cold world, and the two lonely souls feel each other's warmth. , Since then, there have been fetters - from acquaintance, to mutual acquaintance, to emotional resonance - sympathy for each other. I don’t know if everyone paid attention. When Owen saw the photo and knew the identity of the old man (the video here indirectly hints at his future destiny), he couldn’t bear this reality, he insisted on going back, Abby said, I said before that we had sex between us not friends. The sadness and desolation, loss and despair in his eyes-----I can live forever in youth and immortality, but the people I love have left one after another and cannot be retained. Aside from her mysterious and slightly terrifying veil, what we see is the mournful face of the girl. . . . . When she went to Owen again, in order to prove her sincerity and pure feelings for Owen, she was willing to take the taboo of a vampire. Owen understood all this. The two embraced each other and cried. The lonely and painful souls of each other were finally relieved and relieved. .
I don't know if you have seen "Walking in the White Night". The fate of Tang Zexuesui and Kirihara Ryoji is like a goby and a gun shrimp. But it is destined not to walk hand in hand in the sun, just like the ending of this film, Owen takes Abby to the distance, probably destined not to be happy, like another reincarnation. For Owen and Abby, this is an unchangeable unfortunate fate, which is also the tragedy of the film. But I think, at the end, Owen's happy smile, which can be regarded as the most intelligent smile in the dark childhood -- probably reveals the theme of the film:
warm tears soothe my sad face, loneliness Looking at your dimly lit dark window in the middle of the night, we greeted gently from the wall, we embraced and wept together, your sorrow, your smile, the clear and sure eyes shining in your eyes, like my heart, even if You and I have different paths, and I would like to grow old together with you hand in hand. Traveling on the path of misery, you are like the gleam in the morning sun, just like yesterday, warm my heart...
