Ideal vampire, suffocating beauty

I don't know what the public's impression of vampires was 12 years ago. From my current point of view, this film's depiction of vampires, werewolves, and humans is quite appropriate. Violence, blood, killing, love, elegance but not too much Exaggeration is the ideal vampire race in my mind. There are elders who follow the old style, robes and swords, graceful and mighty elders, arrogant and conceited subordinates, decisive, cold and powerful beauties, and of course fierce and primitive werewolves. , the feral king who silently awaits revenge, and the resolute human beings.
If the plot of the film is really flat, everyone can roughly guess the next plot direction, but many details still make people's eyes shine, such as the unpredictable sense of urgency in the fight, Selene's fainting while driving , Facing Erica's white eyes, Michael's stumble and weak anger when he arrived at the vampire castle in the rainy night, Lucian's tender smile when he talked with Michael about Sonia, Klein heard Michael's jealousy, exposed Victor The irony in its true colors...a lot of wonderful details make up for the overall lackluster.
Of course, beauty is undoubtedly the most important. I watched 4 on the hotel's on-demand TV with Selene at the beginning (I quite like this translation, the transliteration of Selene is also good, but incompetent to accept Selena, Selene goes) suffocating The cold and beautiful face, the agile skills of flowing clouds and water, and the ruthless temperament of killing and decisiveness are deeply dumped. Fortunately, it is a woman. If it is a man, the earth will collapse! Her hair always felt wet, falling down slightly in twists and turns, with always a slight frown, a pale and thin face, fake ice-blue pupils, and tight, thin lips that were slightly brightly colored. Can't see enough. She's also so thin and thin, but she's incredibly nimble, athletic, powerful, and graceful, and I'm delighted to see her in a deathwalker trench coat gallantly walk through the lavish halls and the vulgar men and women! To be honest, I really long for this beauty to wear the see-through evening dress prepared by Erica (the girl is quite sweet and has a good taste in clothes, but her mind is stupid), but I just think about it, otherwise Selene is not Selene, not that warrior anymore.
The elder Amelia is actually not beautiful, but her temperament even overwhelms Victor, the absolute queen; Victor is indeed gentle on the surface and dark in heart; Klein is stupid and pathetic; Lucian is a tough man and tender; Michael is ignorant and sincere. In the blue Gothic city, the modern and the classical are integrated. A movie worth watching!

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!
