I understand that feeling, because there’s clearly two distinct halves of the movie, but to me the point is that these are one movie. The beginning is so optimistic, but ultimately they’re doomed. And if there were no vampires, they’d still be doomed. That’s just the nature of their situation, and I think there’s a powerful message in that.
I think that’s a great analysis. There is a sort of bleak optimism in that the course they take is one that ends in tears, but still accomplishes some good and establishes a foothold in the new order to come, for better or worse. A lot to unpack there. Thanks!
