When I grew up, I watched it again, and this time I saw a lot of things.
The Internet has always considered this film to be the base film, but I don't think so. I think the theme of this film is that it is because of loneliness that immortality is given.
In the movie, Lester's possessiveness towards Louis was initially thought to be love at first sight, a vampire's domineering love, but as Louis left Lester, met Amon, and said something to Amon, Lester's performance when Louis met Lester again, and finally Lester's transformation to reporters at the end of the film, proves that these vampires have lived for too long, so they need new ones, and they need them to help these old ones. Vampires integrate into a growing society, otherwise they will slowly decay spiritually, so Amon and Lester love and fear new vampires like Louis.
This actually represents the collision between the decadent past and the innovative future. In fact, this movie is not a simple gay love, but the purpose of immortality due to loneliness.
