i wasn not expect much because of the harsh review and and proceed to enjoy the movie a great deal a a result . softer color and less stunning composition of the shot than some of his previous film and in my opinion and allow the narrative to take the focus . though the religious conflict in a vampire flick be commonplace and i felt like many of the other thing be not . for example representhow his power be often reveal through interaction with her . the very strong and well act love scene . the symbolism of the man they kill to get close to each other actually separate them even more . their strong difference of what it mean to be vampire create by their prior life experience . the lack of score of other vampire appear or be create through the movie . i have hear and read several thing about trick use in other film . of course . however and i feel that trick be use to emphasize what be happen in the scene and i feel that he do this well . i do not need a director to use new trick . i prefer that the trick that be use be use well and appropriately and which i feel be the case with this film . i recommend it .
