I think it is a more classic movie of vampires and wolves, and it is similar to the evolution of blade warriors. It can be regarded as an explanation of the system of werewolves and vampires.
"Underworld 1"
Werewolves are about to go extinct, but the ancient and powerful werewolves are no longer affected by the moon and can be deformed at will. For the two undead races, is the feud during this period really so important? They are not natural enemies on the food chain, and there is almost no interest competition. Many clansmen don't even know why the two races have such a big feud and why they kill each other. It is just a habit of obedience.
The decayed body regains its vitality, and the blood can transmit memories. Maybe this is the power of vampires. Immortality is something that many people long for, but can only live in the darkness of immortality, can everyone afford it? How would it feel if you once enjoyed the afternoon sun, and now you find that you won't see it for years, decades, or centuries? Maybe this idea is not scary. What is scary is that this idea will take time to fully test. I remember that "Interview with the Vampire" said that for vampires, the biggest difficulty in immortality is how you integrate into this changing world. In constant change, the constant is always yourself, do you maintain your medieval living habits, or integrate into the prosperity of modern society?
Immortality, however, the vampire's fear of ultraviolet and the werewolf's fear of silver are both a weakness or a kind of imperfection. Maybe it's just some people's take-for-granted thinking that God should be fair and that after a race has the gift of immortality, there should be other flaws, but maybe that's not the case at all, maybe they don't get immortality at the same time these weaknesses.
Werewolves, or rather the Lykens, have been slaves of vampires since birth. It can be said that they came from slaves, go to slaves, and guard vampires during the day. This is just the history of the Lykens. , not the entire history of the werewolf race.
The three elders, each woke up for 100 years, just this one wrong awakening, two died at once, the race began to reshuffle, internal and external troubles, it seems that to a certain extent, it is completely paranoid of some people vampires Talent - immortality, resulting.
It's a pity that the syringe is by his side but he didn't see it, Ryze, who has shown extraordinary composure and courage when he was still human, he should be able to be the guardian of the code like Captain Jack's father, or like the gatekeeper in Thor. A guard with ideas, but in the end, he is just a loyal and brave guard, but not a smart one. Lu Xi wanted to get the blood of the elders, but Mike survived with only relatively normal blood. He let her bite Mike, but Not to mention himself, he may not want to live in this world in his heart. The only purpose of his life is to let Victor watch the emergence of mixed blood and destroy the rules of his purebred. He just wanted to go against Victor, to oppose Victor.

Underworld quotes

  • [last lines]

    Selene: [voiceover] Though I cannot predict the future, the consequences of this night will reverberate through the halls of both great covens for many years to come. Two vampire elders have been slain, one by my own hand. Soon, Marcus will take the throne, and a tide of anger and retribution will spill out into the night. Differences will be set aside. Allegiances will be made. And soon, I will become the hunted.

  • Singe: For years, we've been trying to combine the bloodlines. And for years, we've failed. It was useless. Even at the cellular level, our species seemed destined to destroy each other. Yet the key, we knew... was to locate the rarest of bloodlines... a direct descendant of Alexander Corvinus... Hungarian, a warlord... who came to power in the early seasons of the fifth century. Just in time to watch a plague ravage his village. He alone survived. Somehow, his body was able to change the disease... mold it to his benefit. He became the first true immortal. And years later, he fathered at least two children... who inherited the same trait.

    Viktor: The sons of the Corvinus clan. One bitten by bat, one by wolf... one to walk the lonely road of mortality as a human. It's a riduculous legend, nothing more.

    Singe: That may be... but our species do have a common ancestor.

    Viktor: There is a decendant of Corvinus lying there

    [points to Marcus' grave]

    Viktor: ... not three feet from you.

    Singe: Yes. But he's already a Vampire. We needed a pure source... untainted. An exact duplicate of the original virus. The Corvinus strain itself, which we learned... was hidden away in the genetic code of his human descendants... and passed along in its dormant form... down through the ages to Michael Corvin. His blood allows for a perfect union between our species.

    Viktor: There can be no such union. And to speak of it is heresy.

    Singe: We'll see. Once Lucian has injected him...

    Viktor: Lucian is dead.

    Singe: According to whom?

    [Kraven has left]

    Viktor: [to Selene] I can assure you my child... Kraven will pay with his life.

    Singe: Soon this house will lie in ruins.

    Selene: Not before you.

    Singe: No, wait. Wait. You and you alone will know the truth of this. If Lucian was able to get his hands on the blood of a Pure-Born... a powerful elder like Amelia... or yourself

    [motions to Viktor]

    Singe: ... and inject it along with Michael's blood...

    Viktor: [Whispers] Abomination.

    Singe: Half-Vampire... Half-Lycan... but stronger than both!
