Children of Darkness: Lester

Everyone said he was beautiful, until the night interview with the vampire.

I just know about Tom Cruise, it's a secluded coquettish.

Just like a sculpture, it can only be understood, not spoken.

It is said that the author of the original novel of this play does not like Tom Cruise to play her Lester.

After watching the finished film, I was completely moved by him.

Indeed, in the face of such beauty, who can not be moved.

No matter how crazy, calculating, and paranoid there is, as long as Lester raises his eyebrows and smiles, and his teeth as white as porcelain are slightly exposed, you can forgive him.

In contrast, Pitt's Louie looks clumsy, like a downright nice, middle-class American. The only thing special about him is that he was chosen by that man to be his partner.

Everyone needs a villain to release the tension of desire, and good people are probably used to be foiled and forgotten.

So throughout, I disliked Louie, indecisive and pretentious. Compared to the face blessed by the Angel of Lester, it is also a bit inferior.

Regarding this film, after watching it for many years, there are only some tragic and beautiful clips left. Always think of it, like a blue flame floating on the water, outlined in the shape of a lotus. Opened and extinguished, extinguished and opened again, slowly to glory, only for the day and night.

For example, Louis sees Leicester in his old house years later.

He opened his arms and begged him to stay.

That arm was like an invitation to the first peach and plum in the new year, full of buds.

And we will miss it and never see it again.

For example, the little girl arrogantly left two bloodstains on Lester's face. But healed instantly.

Lester's face was full of shock, anger, and even a mockery.

The little girl seemed to be a projection of Lester.

Selfish. powerful. Intense.

So we, like Louis, can only fall in love with fire.

You can only fall in love with the same people, similar people, untouchable people.

So the ending is a surprising reincarnation.

He was completely back, no longer a monster cowering in the bed in fear of the stars.

He was so beautiful, so coquettishly put forward conditions, asking others to obey, follow, obey.

He inadvertently adjusted the worn lace cuffs.

Only him, lined with velvet, lace and white powder.

A kind of beauty that is almost male favorite and looks down on.

Forever Lester, forever love.

Messy and broken souls don't need a happy ending.

  • Louis: Bear me no ill will, my love, we are now even.

    Claudia: What do you mean?

    Claudia: Yes, Father. At last we are even.

  • Claudia: Louis, what's happening to her?

    Louis: She is dying. It happened to you, too, but you were too young to remember.
