The city of "eyes"

This movie, which made me completely unable to grasp the plot and did not even know where the climax was, almost destroyed the image of vampires in my heart. The director spent a lot of time and film making the male and female protagonists look at each other affectionately, and from time to time there are several scenes that are suspected to be MV, which did not live up to the name of the city of "eyes".
The heroine is beautiful, but Xiaoniaoyiren's lovable incompetence has reached the highest level in history. I don't see her having any other specialties except snuggling up to the hero. Anyway, the Bond girl can still hold a gun, Megan Fox You can also repair cars in Transformers. The male protagonist is melancholy, but when he makes a confession that he doesn't know whether he is saying "you are my food" or "you are my lover", the melancholy temperament can only make him look stupid. What's even weirder is that after you look at me, I look at you, plus the temptation of smell and a series of completely negligible plot developments, they tell each other their sincere love and see their parents. This spark of love is inexplicable and has no reason. Make people angry.
If the city of curtain light is regarded as a gothic youth love story, then I have nothing to say. It can only mean that I am too old to understand this kind of love full of youthful impulses; it is a pity that it has to add Put on a vampire as a gimmick, and come up with a new type of vampire that is similar to the evolution of the 21st century. Everyone has a small pale face, has superpowers ranging from Superman to Spiderman, and even sparkles in the sun (it is said that It's true that sunlight can't kill vampires, but it doesn't say it will turn them into gold). Vampires have always been attractive because of their charming appearance, aristocratic indifference and grace, enduring eternal loneliness and an inescapable bloodthirsty fate. Therefore, compared with the five thick werewolves, vampires are more like poppies under the moonlight, with a fatal temptation, and like a declining noble, exuding a sad atmosphere. Although vampires have appeared countless times in literature, games, animations and movies, although various works have different descriptions of them, they are not as subversive as the City of Curtain Light.
