Chapter 846 Chapter 846

After entering the 21st century, vampire movies, which have been in the doldrums for more than ten years, benefited from the idol movie "Twilight" series, idol TV series "The Vampire Diaries (The. Vampire. Diaries)", HBO's heavy-duty high-quality drama series " With the advent of "True Blood (True. Blood)", the vampire-themed works that have been silent for a long time once again set off a frenzy in 2008 and swept the world again.

However, this trend has led to the vigorous development of teen idols. When people review the classic vampire movies, they find that most of the real classics come from the past. Like the first vampire movie "Nosferatu", like "Blade", like "Buffy. The. Vampire. Slayer", like "Underworld" "and many more.

Among the many classic vampire movies, two works are also loved by people, one is "Queen. Of. The. Damned" which came out in 2002, and the other is "Night of the Night" which came out in 1994. Interview with Vampires". These two works have two things in common, the first is that their male protagonists are Lester, and the second is that their original authors are Anne Rice (Anne. Rice).

Annie Rice is an American horror novel and romance. A representative writer who wants to write, her works are famous for vivid descriptions of horror plots. The themes of the novels are mostly people living in isolation and the pursuit of self in historical backgrounds. The characters in the novels always show isolated groups in society or not in society. .

Annie's novels began with "Interview with the Vampire" in 1976, and in the next twenty-five years, she wrote twelve books, constructing an epic of a vampire tribe with her extraordinary imagination. Anne's most famous novel is the first series of vampire tales, from the fourth millennium BC to the end of 1995, that is, to the end of "Memnoch. The. Devil" published in 1995. The works published after that are basically branches interspersed in this story.

In this series, the vampire Lestat (Lestat) is a well-deserved protagonist, running through Anne's novel from beginning to end.

Among Anne's novels, "The Vampire Queen" and "Interview with the Vampire" have both been adapted into movies, but the former is far inferior to the latter in terms of quality, reputation, box office and influence. "Interview with the Vampire," which appeared in 1994, has been hailed as one of the best vampire works in movie history.

"Interview with the Vampire" is told from a third perspective, a "visitor" named Daniel meets the vampire Louis, and then hears a vampire epic about the struggle of human nature. After losing his wife and daughter, Louis lived a life of walking dead, and then met and assimilated by the vampire Lester. Louis, who still retains his human side, is unwilling to satisfy his desires for blood-sucking. Looking to hurt people's lives, they suck the blood of animals to survive. But the unruly Lester is bent on teaching Lewis to be a true vampire kind.

The reason why this movie is wonderful is not only because of its in-depth discussion of vampires and its mourning for the retro era; it is also because of its in-depth discussion of human nature.

In fact, the core idea of ​​the whole film is to discuss the choice between greed and human nature.

Louis resists depriving others of the right to live for the sake of his own, and he even rejects the cold-blooded and cruelty of having the power to kill others. On the one hand, Louis hates the shackles Lester imposes on him, so he wants to fight for the vampire's bondage; He thought that he could stay out of the way and be alone, but he didn't know that he was a vampire himself - an alien in the eyes of others, but he was reluctant to admit that he was a vampire, and the deviation of his identity made him suffer.

Lester, on the other hand, embodies the loneliness and struggle of life. For him, vampires are actually an alien label. Although he lives recklessly and arrogantly, although he enjoys life in luxury and debauchery, under the surface The loneliness, but let his soul gradually dissipate in the never-ending time occasion, he tried hard to find a companion, but he was never able to do so.

Not only Lewis and Lester, but other characters in the whole movie "Interview with the Vampire" are also full of discussions on human nature. Strictly speaking, this is a vampire movie, but it is not a vampire movie, because it is dressed as a vampire, but it tells about life, years, and self-struggles.

It can be said that after the release of "Interview with the Vampire", it caused a sensational discussion, including praise and criticism. It's rubbish, but it's undeniable that this movie, like other classics, has withstood the test of time, and after the passage of time, film critics have proved that this work is excellent.

Of course, if you want to say that "Interview with the Vampire" is so good that it is earth-shattering, it is not true. It is inferior to "The Shawshank Redemption" in terms of thinking, inferior to "Pulp Fiction" in terms of innovation, and inferior to "Forrest Gump" in terms of atmosphere. Overall score Nor has it been able to make it to the 250th ranking of IMDB.

But even so, when it comes to the classic gathering in 1994, "Interview with the Vampire" is also a member that cannot be ignored, and it is absolutely no problem to be among the top ten! Why? Because the film's cultural influence set off a frenzy, and thanks to the situation of the three super handsome guys, the classic image of "the vampire that can never be surpassed" was created.

"Interview with the Vampire at Night" has been regarded as the most pleasing movie by countless fans. Among the later vampire movies, whether it is the "Twilight" series or "The Vampire Diaries", it has never been able to surpass the classic image of "Interview with the Vampire at Night", in the minds of many fans. The real vampires are Tom Cruise who plays Lester, Brad Pitt who plays Lewis, and Antonio Banderas who plays Armand.

Teenage Tom Cruise broke the idol baggage of everyone and played the pale and handsome Lester, which turned out to be the most successful vampire image in screen history, until two decades later, even in "Twilight". "Under the high popularity, people can't ignore Tom's charming face.

The sunny Brad Pitt challenged the corner of Lewis, who was struggling on the edge of humanity. In fact, it is still controversial. Some people think that Lewis should be more soft, because his personality is too weak and hesitant, and there is no way to really make sense. Be hard-hearted - even Lester was instigated by Claudia, and Brad's face lines were too tough; but some people think that Brad injected a completely different beauty into Louis. , which brings out the complexities of this character vividly.

The exotic Antonio Banderas played the role of Armand, the beautiful vampire leader who was only seventeen years old but lived for hundreds of years in the original novel. Although it also caused some controversy, Antonio's unique style brought the audience A vampire with another flavor has also become a classic screen image.

It was these three actors who pushed the paleness and beauty of vampires to a new extreme, and in one fell swoop, "Interview with Vampires" created a sensational topic effect. Some people even said that the success of "Interview with the Vampire" benefited from four people, Anne Rice and three actors.

Among them, Tom and Brad's partner has become a good story, causing countless topics, even after 20 years, people still talk about it.

"Interview with the Vampire" is unique among the countless classic masterpieces in 1994. With its unique charm, strong influence and excellent box office, it occupies an important place and has become an indispensable part of the golden year of 1994. made of.

In 2014, when people mentioned vampires, the first reaction of most people, including Hugo, was "idol". The stars who became popular by "Twilight" and "The Vampire Diaries" were typical idol stars, with a large The votes are crowded and the popularity is extremely high.

But in the eyes of professionals, it is often a negative word, because these works have no test for the actors at all, they just stand out and pose with a zombie face. After scrutiny, this kind of role is no problem even if any actor is replaced, which is absolutely taboo and absolute exclusion for professionals.

For example, Robert Pattinson, who became a top star with the "Twilight" series, some people predict that the college will not open his doors for 20 years; The Kristen Stewart (Kristen. Stewart), her talent was gradually worn out in this film, and instead became a representative of the facial paralysis actors, which made many people very embarrassed.

But this kind of rule is an exception in "Interview with the Vampire". Whether it is Lester or Lewis, the test of acting skills is actually very severe. The character's struggle and thinking about human nature are combined with the special identity of a vampire. , can be said to have been further sublimated.

Playing these two roles is not an easy task. Especially Lester, this character is the first protagonist in Annie's novels. He has a long history of intricacies and contradictions. It can be said that he is the most three-dimensional and vivid character.

When Hugo heard Rick say the name "Interview with the Vampire", he couldn't help but sigh. His hunch was correct. When he heard "The Vampire Movie", this work actually appeared in his mind. 's name. Even Hugo, a person who is very repulsive of vampire movies - the sequelae of the "Twilight" series of movies, he couldn't help but sigh when he watched "Interview with the Vampire at Night", it really is idol movies that hurt people, it turns out that vampire movies can also be shot So wonderful, so delicate, so deep.

However, Hugo is even more sighed that the 1990s was indeed the golden age of Hollywood movies, and wonderful works emerged one after another. He has heard countless classic works in the past two years.

It's just that he has no intention of acting now.
