More about Let Me In

Oct 03, 2010 10:48

I have a bad habit, when writing about a movie, to pick an issue I think is interesting and then discuss that. The problem is, if it's a new movie that people haven't really seen yet, they end up thinking that that's all that's in the movie. This time around, I got a lot of "What about tenderness and longing and needing to be accepted!" Having not ( Read more... )

Something I'd like to mention, having read numerous posts (here and on other forums), is that despite being the 'scary vampire' Abby is rather inept as a hunter of humans (I'm taking the movie at face value and extrapolating from what I've seen).

Long life doesn't necessarily confer emotional maturity (locked in a 12 yr old body with demoniac urges to boot)but can confer some wisdom; she needs a 'protector'. Not only that, she's still 'human' with all that implies.. the need for love and acceptance but, given what she is, it's going to be awful hard to find ( ... )
