Two things:
One, at least give us the simple dignity of trusting that our opinion is genuinely our's and not some outright rejection of change.
Two, we get the symbolism. This actually goes to every single "artsy" director out there. We get it. It's not "above" us, it never was, it is in fact immediately obvious. Yeah, the kid represents the murderer's last shred of innocence and the monster represents the monster. Stop trying to act like symbolism is the holy grail of story telling and just make compelling characters for a change.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
