Abby and Owen are children full of secrets. At that age when the ground was full of sunshine and innocent, they left a lot of secrets behind the world. Owen lives with his mother in a divorced family. The only impression of this mother in the whole story is that she prayed devoutly before meals. This is a very interesting part of the film. A mother who does not give face to the director does not have many lines except for a simple communication with Owen. The mother's love for God is far more than the love for her son. This kind of loveless family environment has caused Owen to live in a world of one person. Whether it is in the room or in the courtyard of the community, he is always alone. This gave Abby and Owen, who had just moved in, a chance to meet, a natural attraction to each other. Owen likes to talk to himself, wear a mask and wield a knife, implying his dissatisfaction with his own weakness and his desire to resist being bullied, but this kind of plot itself reflects Owen's cowardice, Owen peeping at the neighbors and peeping at the bad guys three The group also reflects this. As for Owen's peeping on two neighbors, one was working out, who was later killed by Abby, when Owen peeked into this room again, the empty room was the beginning of Owen's suspicion; and the erotic plot in another room symbolized the adolescent boy The buds of inner love. During several glances with his neighbor Vicilia, Owen kept avoiding, which once again highlighted Owen's character, the throbbing of inner unease and the timidity that he did not dare to face the truth.
There is also a key character in the film, the uncle with glasses. The uncle is not Abby's father, and probably knows that it is like the relationship between Abby and Owen. A clear image appeared, broken glasses, sloppy clothes, old and frail, and the dialogue between Abby and Abby was full of wonder, scolding and complaining to each other, and what puzzled me even more was that Abby also used a commanding tone to communicate with the uncle Talking, a character who gave his life for Abby did not have a name in the film, and a neighbor named Vickia, but I knew it was a bit absurd. If the relationship between the uncle and Abby is like the relationship between Owen and Abby, then whether Abby's attitude towards the uncle is a kind of expression of liking the new and hating the old, maybe this is the reason why I can't like Abby.
The seemingly simple line "can I come in?" appeared more than once in the film, and when it appeared several times, when I thought of the title of the film, I felt a sudden realization. Vampires cannot enter a house without an invitation. Perhaps, this is a simple answer. But recurring has other meanings. Such lines appeared when Owen and Abby were not firm, Abby was still worried about whether to become friends with Owen, so, "can I come in?"; Owen was still thinking about whether to break up with Abby the vampire Anxiety, so, "can I come in?".
The title of the film gives us the best answer, Let me in. I believe that the screenwriter has done a good job here.
Eat some now, save some for later.. The song sung over and over in this piece is to break all romance. The film generously renders the beautiful emotional bond between vampires and human beings, which is wonderful and mournful, but everything, everything that is almost perfect, is completely false, full of temptation and deception. , Don't pay all, another day, if Owen is like a nameless uncle.
