Most people who are sucked blood will die. Only a very small number of human beings have been transformed into similar species by vampires, and this is a very painful process. The soul will die, and the vampire will be born. Why the selfish and cruel Leista would give Louis his precious blood to drink, and why the two are tied together, will gradually be revealed in later stories.
In general movie reviews, it will be said that this is a masterpiece that spans time and space and imagines horizontally and horizontally. It uses vampires to reflect many potential crises and evils in contemporary society, and focuses on the theme of human nature. Here is the story of Louis, a vampire who still has human nature. He insists on not taking human blood in order not to kill. He is suffering from hunger and can only live on the blood of rats or chickens and dogs. He does not want to imitate the only vampire around him. Leista, desperately maintaining the only remaining humanity, does not want to fall with her nature, but this futile struggle is really ridiculous in Leista's eyes, and the desperate and embarrassed Louis hates Leista who turned him into a vampire. , Louis desperately suppressed his bloodthirsty desire, fled to the sewer to catch mice to eat, tired and painful Louis was embarrassed. Lesta, who followed him, still laughed at him, but from the ironic words we can see Lesta’s appreciation and admiration for him. Here we begin to see that in this vampire-themed movie, there is a different kind of strangeness. Kind of love-homosexuality. Then I began to recall how at the beginning of the film, during the time when Louis lost his wife and children and fell into self-congratulation, Lesta, who wandered in the sensual place, followed Louis involuntarily and whispered in his ear when he first saw Louis. The temptation made him become the same kind, staying away from death and pain forever, and looking down at the busy beings together. Leista fell in love with Louis. The pain of losing his lover, and the embarrassment that Louis would rather endure starvation in order not to kill the innocent indiscriminately, is precious to Leista, because this coincidence is what he lacks.
Louis hates Leista, he thinks Leista made him a demon, making him worse than life, and he wants to leave Leista. Although Leista was cold-blooded and cruel on the surface, and there was nothing that made him particularly concerned, but he understood Louis's mind and wanted to keep him, so he created a little vampire to hold him. So now there is a third vampire, Claudia, a little girl like a doll. Louis couldn't bear to leave the little girl, so this strange family was established. The little girl has no idea of right and wrong, she just uses all means to get what she wants, she is a naive and cruel killer. Since then, Louis has also followed them to suck blood and kill people. Day after day, year after year, the world is constantly changing, but it seems that they will never change. Only one day, Claudia saw the body of a mature woman. She was deeply eager to have that charming and sexy mature body, but as a vampire since she was a child, her doll-like appearance will never change. The endless indulgence of the two fathers, Leista and Louis, made her cruel and unscrupulous in order to achieve her goal. She was not satisfied that she was only a father-daughter relationship with Louis. She designed the murder of Lesta, and left by boat with Louis to far away Paris.
The two lived in Paris, both like a father and a daughter and like lovers. New characters appeared in the new location. In Paris, Claudia was killed by other vampires. Louis burned other vampires to avenge her. In the end, he was also alone. Another vampire invited him to live together, but he refused. He returned to his hometown of Louisiana and saw that Lesta was not dead, but ugly and weak. It is difficult for a vampire to die completely, so the bond between the two of them is endless. …
In the eyes of others, Leista is the incarnation of evil, he is a demon who will always make others fall, and Louis is kind and possesses an indelible humanity, but I also saw Lesta’s tough love and love for her lover. Forbearance, as well as Louis's drift and unprinciple. In such a movie, of course, one cannot criticize vampires for killing humans, just as environmentalists want people to understand ferocious carnivores. Without humanity, animals are left with the instinct to fill their stomachs. This movie looks at the world from the perspective of a vampire. Killing is not a crime, but it is both fortunate and unfortunate to stay young.
In the movie, three people fall in love with Louis, but Louis doesn't know who he loves. He always accepts passively, and it is difficult to control his own destiny. The only persistence is the initial maintenance of the only remaining humanity, and the only resistance is the killing when finally avenging Claudia. Vampires are attracted to him involuntarily, because Louis possesses the kindness and warmth they don't have. Every vampire is selfish, cruel and lonely, and vampires who fall in love with Louis want to possess him. Leista watched Louis' struggle and escape with indulgence, but never really hurt him. He waited for Louis to accept his love, build a home for Louis he longed for, and build a doll-like daughter for him. Lives the happiest life of a vampire, but his love is only exchanged for their betrayal. The person and daughter he loves only want to escape from him and eventually murder him. In this tragedy, Leista tried to love them in the way of a vampire. Maybe these can't compensate for his fault, because his love makes the lover into a situation where he cannot reincarnate. As he said, "Hell exists. Wherever we go, we are in hell.” Here, I remembered that before he turned Louis into a vampire, he said, “I will let you have a choice that I never had.” In fact, no matter whether it is tempted or not, He was willing to become a vampire, so there is no reason to resent Leista for putting him in hell.
Daughter Claudia is considered a real vampire. She just lives with instinct, and she must get what she wants. There is no sense of right and wrong, no morality, and her strong possessive desire makes her not too cute. , Even if she has a baby face that will always be beautiful. In the end, she even bravely said that she fell in love with her father Louis, and to remove all the shackles of civilized people, Claudia revealed the truest human nature. But Louis’s gentleness appeared cowardly. He obviously didn’t want Claudia to kill Louis, but when she cut Leista’s throat with a sharp knife, he just watched helplessly, whether he loved it or not. Louis didn't know, but he was also heartbroken when his relative Louis was killed. He just watched helplessly and helplessly as the two closest relatives killed each other, and finally he helped Claudia sink Louis into the swamp. Is Leista very heartbroken? It's not for Claudia to kill him, but for Louis's decisiveness.
Leista, who stayed alone in Louisiana, did not die. He survived on the blood of crocodiles and frogs in the swamp. He lived alone in a dark corner for many years. Sad and timid, he waited for the return of Louis one day. It's just that life without Louis is desperate. The once cruel Leista would shrink in a corner and let him age and ugly. When he saw Louis returning to his hometown, he really came back to life. It is because just seeing Louis that life is full of hope, or whether it has a special meaning for Louis to visit him, but Louis is still indifferent to Leista. But these seemed to be insignificant to Leista, and he began to look radiant again, as long as he wanted, he could still be handsome and handsome, and he had time, and he could spend endless time and energy to pursue Louis.
The minds of others can naturally be understood. Only Louis's feelings are unclear. Has he ever loved Leista or Claudia? You can't see it in the movie. Or is it just that because of his only remaining human nature, he cannot accept Louis's same-sex love and Claudia's unethical love? "Interview with the Vampire" is not so much about the story of a vampire, as it is about the other side that human beings do not accept for their own civilization. Whether people accept it or not, the dark side of human nature will always grow crazily in a certain corner.
