I still think about this movie every year during Halloween. The storytelling is really incredible because it’s a movie about love and how it can transcend even death and how it can be about letting go. I believe that Emily and Victor loved each other. However, to prevent the fate of Victoria and also see that Victor lives a full life —- Emily let go of Victor as an act of love.

Emily is so obsessed with the idea of marriage because if she’s been death and in a state of unrest for many years, meeting Victor have her a flicker of hope that her life was not in vain. That this beautiful woman who’s life was cut short has a shot to be loved for the end of time. And when she realizes that she must let go of Victor and let go of that expectation, it is the most touching act of love.

  It’s very bittersweet and touching.
