The vague sexuality of the vampire, The bobble with the gems, The actual connivance of the vampire girl on the lookout for a new friend. The death of the old servant, thier love. so many wonderful questions left hanging i loved it.
And the pool.. hmm does fit in. It is the break for the boy to leave and become the vampires partner. It is out of step with the rest of the film, except the scene of the vampire attacking the woman who lived (til she burst into flames, by deliberate act.. cool) But i think it had to be a calculated and terrific jolt for the boy to break with everything to join the vampire. It was calculated on the vampires' part IMO. The fantastic never explained back story is part of the movies wonder.
And the marvelous blend of 12 year old child and hundreds of years old vampire, the blend of childlike innocence and determined evil, cold calculations in the same body., that one has to actually think about, instead of just having it clear on the screen.
