The reason the movie is so ambiguous is more a result of not showing the whole picture. I personally like the movie a whole lot more then the book. I have no problem with the American version cutting the gender neutral plot line. I am really excited to see what Matt reeves will do. As much as I like the original, it was carried by the character that played Eli and its director, and others. The script had its weaknesses and I thought that the relationship between Eli and Oskar could have been fleshed out and explored in more depth in both the book and the movie.

SPOILER ALERT. You describe the plot as " (It's) about a 12-year-old boy named Oskar who befriends a 200-year-old vampire named Eli. The two become close friends, fall in love, and help each other grow up and become stronger." Well...there is a 12 year old boy and he does fall for the 200 year old Vampire who appears to be the same age as him. But the big plot point that makes this story good, is whether or not the Vampire is "using" the boy, by pretending to have mutual affection, or if in fact the feeling are true...and/or if they are true, how long with the mutual feelings last since he will grow old (like her current assistant) and she stays the same? Will he become just another old man assistant until she befriends another boy in the future? At the end of the Swedish film, we are still left to wonder and debate..."did she really like him" or "was she using him" or " was there was a little of both". Watch for yourself and come up with your own conclusion. It's good. I'm not sure if you got the description of what happens in the story exactly correct. SPOILER ALERT.
