Tonight, let's talk about vampire movies.
Movies of this type emerge in an endless stream. The classics include Pete's "Interview with the Vampire", idols include "Twilight", women's rights include "Underworld", "We Are the Night", and funny games such as "Elf Hotel". The predecessors have planted too many films, and it is not easy for future generations to play new ideas, and it is even more difficult to subvert and innovate.
But the movie "Only Lovers Left Alive", which I recommend tonight, has another cool style, which is unexpectedly amazing.
"American independent film master" director Jim Jarmusch's work, as always, depicts the marginalized people in society, gloomy and alienated. Only this time it was a pair of vampire couples.
The protagonists of the film are the familiar "Queen" Tilda Swinton and "Higgerson" Tom Hiddleston. With the blood of the corrupt country, the temperament and the vampire are undoubtedly a good match.
Messy hair, sunken eyes, thin body, pale skin. The dim light reflects an extreme literary and aristocratic style.
The plot of the movie is simple, the key is to look at people, listen to music, and supplement the brain. The camera moves slowly, like the time of a long-lived vampire, long and endless.
Perhaps for vampires, endless "birth" is the most terrifying thing.
Gone are the days of wild hunting, and now is the modern age where "biting someone's neck casually is illegal". The Queen and Hidden live on the fringes of society. They can't walk in the sun, and they don't have terrifying powers. Instead, they become "vulnerable groups".
They indulge their minds in underground music, in ancient books, to pass the time. Higgins even learned to make his own powerplant to power his house and vintage sports cars in an effort to stay away from the crowds.
What about humans? Anti was called "zombie" by Jewson. Hiwson believes that modern humanity has been wiped out and humans will be replaced. Human blood has become impure, and even older vampires have died from ingestion.
However, the machine of society does not allow you to be different, let alone break away from the group, even if you only want a simple life. When you are "comfortable", this machine will start:
the melon-eating masses called star chasing, who want to know about your life - the fan group of Hidden, famous for playing underground music, has never stopped exploring his life and real identity.
Your relatives also want to intervene in your life - the Queen's wayward sister suddenly moves in and kills and bloodthirsty, forcing the Queen and Hidden to flee.
From the decadent Detroit to the ancient Moroccan Tangiers, the Queen and Hudson have almost exhausted their accumulated wealth, and have no source of healthy blood, just starving and powerless. At this moment, a pair of lovers kissing appeared in front of them.
"Do we have any other choice?" After speaking, the two of them put aside their restraints and showed their fangs and slowly approached...
Some people say that when hunger comes, all the glamorous and noble before are forgotten, the instinct of vampire animals Explicitly revealed. Others say that this is a counterattack from disadvantaged groups in society. What do you think?
