My favorite thing about this movie

It's so hard to choose, but I guess I have to go thematic and say it is the absolute ambiguity the film leaves you at the end. There is no answer to the question: was he a crazy man who thought he was a vampire, or was he a vampire who thought he was a crazy man?

(I realize some people feel they have found an answer to the question, to which I salute them for that, but for me, having seen the film a number of times, I have to say, there is no answer. And I like that.)

What evidence do you have of him being a vampire?

[–] ducksoup (3933) 2 years ago

Your question makes it sound like you don't understand the nature of ambiguity.

Your post made it sound like you were just making up shit to sound intelligent. But I figured I'd give you the benefit of the doubt and ask.

And now your reply confirms. You, personally, have no reason to consider why he is a vampire who thought he was a crazy man, but you just like the idea of thinking so. Maybe you read someone else's idea of it but didn't think it through yourself.

I find your argument preposterous. If you do not cease harassing me, I shall ignore you!

This last reply here reads like a Monty Python skit! 😀

except it wasn't ambiguous.
