In fact, this movie is not as bad as I thought. (all because of someone’s misleading.) Generally speaking, the person who is called is very suitable to play Lestat. He takes the evil and human nature of Lestat, the image of the naughty dark prince, It is in line with the description of Lestat's character and appearance in the book. When he keeps repeating "come out, come out, wherever you are.", the decadent 18th century classical temperament is really charming.
And our Queen Akasha, a black female singer who unfortunately died in an air crash. She is simply the highlight of the film. In that section of the bar, when she was wearing Egyptian-style "clothes" inlaid with gorgeous jewels, she tracked Lestat's traces everywhere, when she used her powerful power to burn Lestat's enemies to protect her servants, her lovers, When her prince, and Lestat, the king who will eventually rule the world with her, no one will not be attracted by her aura.
But our Marius who knows how to love, how to enjoy eternal life, and loves all new knowledge! In this film, why has he become a petty, jealous, no scholar, seemingly a small leader of the Italian mafia? My heart is bleeding! As for the others, who can tell me the one who appeared last, that is, there are three shots of boys who appear with a woman. The ugly blond man who only said less than three sentences is not my favorite Armand! (My heart for jumping off the building is gone!)
Of course, please don't say that I overlooked the other heroine Jesse. How can I describe her? In the book, she seems to be a beautiful girl with a little birdie, with supernatural perception, but she feels like a somewhat arrogant girl. In this film, she goes deep into the vampire headquarters in order to learn the truth! But I never thought that the writers would put her together in Lestat! Nothing to say! It's really unexpected. You know, in the book, she and Lestat didn't seem to say a word!
Now, I think I should explore the difference between this movie and the original.
I like the first half of the movie very much. Lestat appeared and became a rock star. I was also attracted by the songs he sang. The music video-style shooting technique, the combination of psychedelic and reality, filmed the contradictory vampire’s thirst for death but rose. The sadness of eternal life. It's a pity that the whole story is monotonous and the theme is not clear, which insults the wisdom of the vampires described by Anne! I really don't understand why the vampires start fighting and become like a group of shrews pulling their hair, gouging their eyes, and biting people in the street! The end result was that Marhart had the courage to sacrifice himself to rescue many vampires. Such a vulgarity ended! Would Anne let them spoil their work?
Interview with Vampires at Night is a very good movie. It is not only composed of a few handsome vampires, it is a narrative about a human vampire living in eternal darkness. But what does the movie The Queen of Damned tell us? The movie deletes all the most important parts of Anne's story! Lestat doesn't have Nicholas! Marhart doesn't have Mekare! Denial is gone for Armand! Oh my God! Even the most important vampire of The Queen of Damned is gone! How can this movie be considered complete?
Of course, I shouldn't be too demanding. After all, not everyone goes to the movies because they like Anne's novels. After all, this kind of movie is just a commercial film showing off special effects! All I want to say is, fans of Anne, don't read it, lest your fragile heart can't bear it.
The most the most the most unbearable thing is not the movie itself, but the translation of the name when it was released in Hong Kong! Actually translated into a corpse wrapped in a demon queen! Fortunately, Anne Rice does not understand Chinese, otherwise, I guess she has already jumped off the building!
