Spoilers for the movie! Warning!
What is love if not the embraced of darkness. We must understand, just like the movie said, the evil by crucifying it. By then we also need to discover it. Truly a masterpiece of the horrors, Nosferatu takes advantage of us outside the light and into the gothic program, because as always the devil is in the details. And our devil want nothing more and nothing less than fake love, sexual predatorial love, that is only a passkey to the truly embraced eternal night. What is love if not the "death of duty"; this is truly sad and tragic in the element of the fact, that we want to sell the love to the demonic vampire, only to show him that we want to help our love. Love is like a vampire. It sucks.
But sucking is not the only one thing that we want to understand, sex is not the only thing that we sell to our loved one, because we want something more, something unspeakable truthful, but truly truth could not be never be told by what we want. Truth needs to be foster, need to be made, not created like a pact of a vampire. And this is, my dears, why the main antagonist finally failed. He faked his own love to the woman that he only desired, but not want. He's saying only lies, and one of this lies was the fact that he thought that love is a lower-raking concept. It is not. Love is something more than sex, and something less than it. Nosferatu teaches us that sexual desire is only a one small step into the most passionate loyalty of all time. And that loyalty is exactly love.
Also, we need to say another wibbly-wobbly example of Count Orlok loss. He breaches the saints of all saints. He breaches the ghost of the Christmas, because he attacked the town during Christmas, and that's why love/the light won. A true Romeo and Julia scenario in which only Julia suffer the most, but sometimes, death can be a relief to our suffering. And no, I'm not talking about euthanasia. I'm talking about relief of life, what it turns completely dark. We need to remember that we need to wait until the dawn of coming of the knight that will redeem our life from the dark. The movie and its darkness was great, but the narration needs to be completed. The lore of the movie is shattered, but pleasant. And that's why Nosferatu is worth of watching.
