The Vampire

After watching "Interview with the Vampire", I suddenly realized that it was really a good movie. A few years ago, I couldn't watch it!

Then for the first time, I discovered the amazing beauty of Tom and Pete (I just thought it was handsome before). Very gothic and gorgeous! Then looking at the two of them now, I couldn't help feeling that the beauty was late...Speaking

of the vampire, the theme of the movie.
Vampires are infertile, and the way they reproduce offspring has a romantic phrase called "embrace", which is to bite selected humans and let them suck their own blood. Therefore, they do not have a particularly strong sense of gender, nor do they have the ethics of human society.

So just as described in the movie, vampire A fell in love with the vampire B he created (note: there is no clear definition of the complex feelings between vampires in the movie, but I stubbornly think that it is love), in order not to let him Leaving herself, she turned a dying little girl into a vampire, and the three of them formed a strange family. As a result, the little girl was ambiguous with B, and planned to murder A. The two eloped to vampire C. Then C also fell in love with A, and killed the little girl in order to keep him... (Note: Vampires A, B, and C are all For men)

What's all this with? The mystery covers naked homosexuality, incest, and pedophilia! For humans, what a chaotic and crazy world this is. But for vampires, it can be simply boiled down to the word "instinct". Love comes from instinct, and hatred comes from instinct. Instinctive, primitive desire. They love independent spiritual individuals, regardless of age, generation and gender. Although selfish and cruel, they are also the most direct.

In the world of kinship, survival means killing. If human nature is not obliterated, it is extremely contradictory and painful. So I admire Louis very much. As a vampire, he can still be compassionate to humans. In the first few decades, he insisted on being "vegetarian" and relied on animals such as mice to survive (that's a prop, isn't it a prop?!). The humanity he retains has also doubled his own charm, becoming the sweet pastry among vampires, making everyone coveted. It's a pity that everyone needs Louis, but Louis chooses to be alone forever for Lolita who has been turned into ashes.
