A group abandoned by God-"Night Interview with Vampires"

Vampire (vampire) occupies an irreplaceable position in Western myths and legends, beyond the werewolves of the full moon night, the banshee in the Aegean Sea, is the backbone of evil forces. Although the sunlight can burn them to ashes, and the holy water can etch them into blood, it has made them the lord of the night, possessing the power and speed that humans cannot expect.

Whenever we mention this group, all we can think of are the traits of bloodthirsty, cruelty, selfishness, lust, etc. However, even so, they will have an ultimate law to be followed and enforced by all the same race: vampires are not allowed to mutilate their kind, or they will be punishable, no matter where they escape or how long they hide. This may allow us to see from a certain angle that the humanity they buried in their hearts has not yet been completely wiped out. At least thousands of years ago, their ancestors belonged to us, and they themselves were all ours. But think about it conversely, since we have all become their food, how can we consider the "human nature" of predators from our own perspective? This makes it impossible for me to use "it" to refer to this group. Although they are abandoned by God, how can they be suffering from the torment of fate all the time, redeeming sins that can never be paid off? Because they can live forever and spend endless time to understand life, but they are doomed to end in failure.

It is precisely because vampires have such a long-distance, profound, complicated and legendary background. Therefore, it has been favored by novels and movies for a long time and has become the protagonist among them. "Interview with the Vampire" is one of the works that is out of its kind and quintessential, and it can be called a classic. Like "The Vampire Queen", it is one of seven vampire novels written by the same female writer Anne Rice, and all of them have been adapted into movies. Although it was filmed relatively earlier and its special effects are far inferior to similar movies in recent years, its coordinated status is unmatched by other vampire movies.

Tom Cruise and Blatter Pitt, the two Hollywood handsome guys at the time, also showed strong acting skills in the film. They insisted on their own things and finally parted ways and went astray. The blood and blood of vampires. Full and full of personality. And Kirsten Dunst, who was only twelve years old at the time, was comparable to Natalie Portman in "Lyon", and had already established a star journey in the Silver Sea when he was still young. As for Antonio Banderas, who played only a supporting role, he became a mentor standing in the shadows. He is a model of traditional vampires and a frame of reference.

The film did not waste limited space in the fight between vampires and super warriors. This is not a movie that pursues visual effects. Instead, he gave a very comprehensive and incisive description of the "human nature" of vampires. A mature vampire is of course a nightmare for humans, a demon, a terminator (at least the terminator of human life). But between them? Do they have relatives or friends, do they have enemies, do they have sincere love, do they have deep hatred? What does the life span of hundreds of thousands of years bring them? The pleasure of immortality? Still do not know the emptiness and loneliness of life?

They can't thrive like humans, so natural selection makes the blood of the dead become their deadly poison while making the blood of their food. In this way, they must leave the last bite and think about whether or not to make this creature that has just given their stomachs become their own kind. The pressure of this choice is by no means inferior to what human beings have to bear when facing a new life. A newborn vampire may have a body that looks like a mature human, but this has no real meaning for him to know how to become a qualified or "normal" vampire. They also need teachers, they also need to learn, they also need to hone, and they also need to grow.

All the stories are told from the mouth of Louis. About possession and loss, about loyalty and betrayal, about forgiveness and punishment, about love and hate, about life and death...

This story is over, and the other is just beginning!
