The meaning of life lies in the value of your desires

In fact, I have watched this movie many times, and I never knew the true meaning before watching it. For example, why did Lestatt and Adler always want Louis’s company? Because Louis has a mindset that he has always attached to. Because of this, these two so-called old vampires also know that they are almost there. At the edge of life, they need a sustenance of desire and the meaning of life, so they hope to find it in Louis.

Speaking of the vampires in this movie, at the beginning of the film, when Louis narrated to the writer, he asked what you are afraid of. Peach wood swords, crosses, etc. can put them to death as mediators, but these are useless ways. At the end of the film, Louis and Lestatt said in the dialogue that when I was flourishing, there was nothing in the world that could reject me. In fact, as the vampires in this movie, there is nothing they can't get without asking. All desires can be realized, including the oldest Adelaide who realizes this. Therefore, they are going to die, and the reason for death is to die without desire. The greatest meaning of life is to have different desires, but to give life. Bring the greatest values.

In Louis's body, because of the previous conditions, he became a "kind killer" because of his perseverance, allowing him to keep his youth forever and making him live with incomparable value and meaning. However, in the real world, many people still want to pursue to live like them. At the end of the film, the writer was also heartbroken. He wanted Louis to pray for a life that could be as omnipotent as them. However, Louis was very angry and violent to the writer. Such a shock of thinking made the writer suddenly awakened. Suddenly realized fear, the departure of the fear of human nature.

Why did Louis agree to the writer’s night visit? In fact, Louis has always insisted on hoping that many people will know the value of his life, instead of unintentionally chasing pathological dreams, and at the same time, he does not want such pathological dreams to worsen him and change himself. Become a corrupted body.
