Abby is not a Good Girl, but definitely not a Bad Guy either.
After reading many people's comments on Abby, either Abby is a scheming ghost who integrates all the routines, or he praises the feelings of Owen and Abby.
As Abby, she is a vampire. If she wants to survive, survival means killing people. Everything she does cannot be said to be bad. Her biological structure has made her what she is now. Does Abby like Owen? The answer is yes, if Owen is just an innocuous person, then when Owen performed the blood-cutting ceremony in the little house, Abby had already devoured Owen alive because of the desire for blood, but Abby said Go away, even because he couldn't control it. Bloodthirsty to bite the woman, Abby didn't hurt Owen either. At the end, Abby had already left, but when Owen was bullied by bad boys in the swimming pool, Abby appeared again to abuse those bad boys and save Owen. Remember in the first half of the film Owen asked Abby what if the bad boys were still bullying him? Abby said she would help him, and at this moment, Abby also fulfilled what she had said.
Did Abby just simply like Owen? No. Abby's love for Owen is conditional. Abby is a creature that has lived for a hundred years, and her mind is already excellent. From the first time she met Owen, Abby gradually let Owen walk into her design. Inside, dialogue, Rubik's cube, hanging out together, Abby needs the next person to draw blood for her, and Owen's all is clearly a good next.
Abby and the phlebotomist, it is certain that the phlebotomist loves Abby deeply, and all the signs in the film show that the phlebotomist loves Abby unswervingly. What about Abby? I used to love it, but now it is more of a kind of last tenderness for the phlebotomist, which can be seen from Abby hugging the phlebotomist behind his back.
Owen, who grew up in an unhealthy family about to be divorced, didn't get the care he deserved, his mother didn't pay attention to him, he was weak, had no friends at school and was often bullied by bad kids, he suffered everything, used to The way to vent is perverted playing with knives and peeping. But at this time he met Abby, a girl who was just as weird as him. She always wore light clothes and walked on the snow with bare feet. Her face was like an angel. For Abby, all the conditions were so favorable, so the approach of the two protagonists happened naturally.
There is a plot about Owen. After Owen knew the truth about Abby, the police found Abby. Abby attacked the police. At this time, Owen stretched out his hand and hesitated between wanting to save the police and not saving it. Then he chose to close the door. At this moment, it can be said that he abandoned the so-called human nature for this dangerous and beautiful thing, just like Abby's previous blood collector. This is the beginning.
In the final scene, Abby and Owen disappeared into a beautiful distance on the train. Owen is willing to give up human society voluntarily, not only because of Abby's temptation, because from beginning to end, Owen has not gained a foothold and warmth in human society. At this moment, only Abby is willing to give him warmth, this happiness. The price is that his future is just as miserable as the previous blood collector.
After watching this film, in fact, the only people Abby can contact are children who lack love like Owen. Abby is not an emotional liar. Abby candid everything about Owen, but Owen still can't leave Ai The reason for Bi is that only Abby gave him love, only Abby cared about him, and Abby also needs Owen to like, and needs Owen to kill for her, which is this interdependent relationship. Sadly it's an unequal love, Abby's love can never go beyond survival, but is she wrong? Owen is kind, but he is not a child with a healthy heart. Assuming that there is no Abby in his life, he will only grow into a marginal person in society, and the existence of Abby makes Owen feel warm, although Owen The ending will be a Bad End, but it's better than being alone all the time.
This is the case with Abby and Owen, and the emotion in reality is even more so. There is no absolute pure love, and there is no absolute bad person.
