no that's really silly the monsters in a movie can at once be metaphors and also literal monsters within the narrative in dracula the vampire both represents a horror from the old world come into the new and a scary dude that eats people
Guy looking at dracula: damn an empire teetering at the apex of its power is anxious about the horrors of colonialism being turned inward, and the hidden debauchery that undergirds a puritanical society!
The true point arcing above his head: damn eastern Europeans are weird
Yeah it follows has one theme executed poorly. It has one metaphor also executed poorly. Its a facil movie and a typical monster movie shot in a somewhat art house style. I really think its the style that makes people see a depth that is just not present.
no it doesn't only have one theme we're just only talking about one of the themes right now. Alcoholism and addiction are also themes of the movie for example
and your idea of the metaphor being executed poorly seems to be that the film also treats the in narrative real monster as a real monster as well as a metaphor
The movie was bad. It is bad art. There is good art but it follows ain't it. Not to mention it was produced in the pursuit of profit so it is also soulless as well as bad.
Considering what that movie is about I had kinda forgotten there were sex scenes.
???
The entire movie is about sex and fear of the social repercussions of sex
Second for second there's more running away from an invisible monster than sex so yeah
Its just a regular monster movie with one weird trick. Like smile or birdbox
Also it's not about STDs bc that's not how STDs work.
That invisible monster represents the negative repercussions of sex perceived from a teenager
No it does not. It could be hamfisted into being an std but you can't cure aids by setting up a zany swimming pool trap or fucking it away.
Its a dumb monster movie with sex sloppily laid on top. So sloppily that one could reasonably conclude it's pointlessly gratuitous.

it's called a story having themes
Someone who doesn't recognize this has no business saying anything about horror art and what is good and what isn't

What's the Scooby doo swimming pool trap ment to represent?
Everything has to be didactic and literal or it doesn’t exist to STEM brains

They could also be ND my dude. I'm autistic and also struggle a lot with this
That its easier to deal with trauma if you face it with your friends?
