		But the best moments are with Shreck, his longing for normalcy, his pretending to be an actor acting like a vampire and his all-consuming desire for Greta.

		Before the devious Max Shreck attempts to kill her by pushing her out a window, she exists to serve others and never herself.
		The very fact that costume is literally stitched together piecemeal suggests a fragility in spirit that no matter how liberated she becomes, she'll always a little fractured, her mind held together -- so to speak -- by chewing gum and popsicle sticks.
		Walken's Shreck, on the other hand, is a fairly straight forward corporate baddie who wants to own the city.
