Climb to the top 846 See the masterpiece again
After entering the 21st century, vampire movies, which have been in a slump for more than a decade, have benefited from the idol movie "Twilight" series and the idol TV series "The Vampire Diaries". vampire。 Diaries)", HBO's heavy-tasting high-quality episode "True Love Like Blood. blood)" came out one after another, and the long-dormant vampire-themed works 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, and when people revisit the classic vampire movies, they find that most of the real classics are still from the past. For example, the first vampire movie "Nosfarato", such as "Blade", such as "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". the。 vampire。 slayer)" and so on.
Among the many classic vampire movies, there are two works that are also popular, one is the "Vampire Queen" (Queen) that came out in 2002. of。 the。 damned)" and one is "Interview with the Vampire", which came out in l994. These two works have two things in common, the first is that their male protagonists are both Leicester, and the second is that their original authors are both Anne Rice. rice)。
Anne Rice is American terror and love. The leading writer who wants to write, her work is known for her vivid depictions of horror plots, and the themes are mostly the isolation of people in the historical context and the pursuit of self, in which the characters always show the isolated group in society or not.
Beginning with "Interview with the Vampire at Night" in l976, Anne wrote twelve books over the next twenty-five years, constructing an epic of a vampire race with extraordinary imagination. Anne is best known for her first series of vampire stories, which lasted from the fourth millennium BC to 1995, when she published "Memnoch." the。 devil)" ends. Most of the works published after that are interspersed with branches of this story.
In this series, the vampire Lestat is the undisputed protagonist throughout Anne's life.
In Anne's books, "The Vampire Queen" and "Interview with the Vampire" have been adapted into movies, but the former is far inferior to the latter in terms of quality, word of mouth, box office, and influence. "Interview with the Vampire," which appeared in 1994, has been hailed as one of the best vampire works in the history of cinema.
"Interview with the Vampire" is told from a third perspective, where a "visitor" named Daniel meets the vampire Louis and then hears a vampire epic about the self-struggle of human nature. Louis lives a life of the walking dead after the loss of his wife and daughter, and then meets and assimilates the vampire Lester. Louis, who still retains his human side, is unwilling to satisfy his desire to suck blood. Hoping to hurt people's lives, they sucked the blood of animals to survive. But the unruly Lester is bent on teaching Louis to be a true vampire kind.
The reason why this movie is wonderful is not only because of the movie's in-depth exploration of vampires and the tribute to the retro era; also because the movie has an in-depth exploration of human nature.
The core idea of the whole movie is actually to discuss the choice between greed and human nature.
Louis resisted the deprivation of the right of others to live for the sake of his own survival, and he rejected the cold-bloodedness and cruelty of holding the power of his life and death. On the one hand, Louis hates the shackles that Lester has imposed on him, so he wants to fight hard for the vampire's bondage; But on the other hand, it lingers, oscillating between humanity and greed. He thinks he can stay out of it and be alone, but he doesn't know that he is a vampire himself, an outlier in the eyes of others, but he is unwilling to admit that he is a vampire, and his biased identity afflicts him.
Lester, on the other hand, is the loneliness and struggle of life, vampire is actually an alien label to him, although he lives wantonly and arrogantly, although he enjoys life in luxury and debauchery, but the loneliness under the exterior makes his soul gradually dissipate in the endless time occasion, he tries to find a companion, but he has never been able to do so.
Not only Louis and Lester, but also other characters in the whole movie "Interview with the Vampire" are also full of exploration of 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 is about life, but it is about years, but it is self-struggle.
It can be said that after the release of "Night Interview with Vampire", it caused a sensational discussion, which was both positive and negative, at the beginning of the release, in fact, the praise and disapproval were half, some people praised this work as a classic, and some people degraded this work as garbage, but it is undeniable that this film, like other classics, has withstood the test of time, and after the years have passed and settled, critics have proved that this work is excellent.
Of course, if you want to say that "Night Interview with Vampire" is so good that it is earth-shattering, it is naturally not, it is not as good as "The Shawshank Redemption" in terms of thought, "vulgar" in terms of innovation, and "Forrest Gump" in terms of atmosphere, and the overall score has not been able to reach the IMDB 250 list.
But even so, when it comes to the classic gathering in l994, "Night Vampire" is also a member that cannot be ignored, and it is absolutely no problem to be among the top ten! Why? Because the cultural influence of this film has set off a frenzy, and thanks to the situation of three super handsome guys, it has created the classic image of "vampires that can never be surpassed".
"Interview with the Vampire" has been the most pleasing movie by countless fans, and later vampire movies, whether it is the "Twilight" series or the "Vampire Diaries", have never been able to surpass the classic image of "Interview with the Vampire", in the minds of many fans, Tom Cruise who plays Leicester, Brad Patt who plays Louis, and Antonio Banderas who plays Armand are the real vampires.
Tom Cruise, a beautiful boy, broke the idol baggage in everyone's eyes and starred in the pale and handsome Lester, and as a result, he became the most successful vampire in screen history, until twenty years later, even under the super popularity of "Twilight", people have never been able to ignore Tom's charming face.
The sunny Brad and Pete challenge the role of Louis, who is struggling on the edge of human nature, is actually controversial, and some people think that Louis should be more feminine, because his personality is too weak and hesitant, and he has never been able to really make a ruthless mind - even the calculation of Lester is also under the encouragement of Claudia, and Brad's face line is too hard; But there are also those who believe that Brad injected Louis with a completely different handsome temperament, vividly presenting the intricacies of the character.
The exotic Antonio and Banderas starred in the original book as the beautiful vampire leader Armand, who is only seventeen years old but has lived for hundreds of years, although it has also caused some controversy, but Antonio's unique style has brought another taste of vampires to the audience, and has also become a classic screen image.
It was these three actors who pushed the vampire's paleness and handsomeness to a new extreme, and made "Night Interview with Vampires" create a sensational topic effect in one fell swoop. It was even said that the success of "Interview with the Vampire" was due to four people, Anne Rice and three actors.
In the midst of this, Tom and Brad's partnership has become a good story, causing countless conversations, even after twenty years.
"Interview with the Vampire" is unique among the countless classics of 1994, occupying an important place with its unique charm, strong influence and excellent box office, and has also become an indispensable part of the golden year of l994.
In 2014, when people mentioned vampires, most people's first reaction, including Hugo, was "idol", and the stars who relied on "Twilight" and "The Vampire Diaries" to become popular are typical idol stars, with a large number of fans and extremely popular.
But in the eyes of professionals, it is often a negative word, because these works do not have any test for actors at all, they are just standing up and posing with a zombie face, not only there is no test of acting skills, but even the story itself cannot withstand scrutiny, this kind of role is no problem even if it is to replace any actor, which is an absolute taboo and absolute exclusion for professionals.
For example, Robert Pattinson, who became a top star with the "Twilight" series, has been predicted that the academy will not open its doors to him for twenty years; Another example is Kristen Stewart, who received countless praises in independent films before "Twilight", her talent was gradually exhausted in this set of films, and instead became a representative of actors with facial paralysis, which made many people very embarrassed.
But this law is an exception in "Interview with Vampires at Night", whether it is Lester or Louis, in fact, the test of acting skills is very severe, and the character's struggle and thinking about human nature, combined with the special identity of a vampire, can be said to have been further sublimated.
It is not an easy task to play these two roles well. Especially Lester, this character is the undisputed first protagonist of Anne, and his intricacies and contradictions have been foreshadowed for a long time, which can be said to be the most three-dimensional and vivid character.
When Hugo heard Rick say the name of "Night Vampire", he couldn't help but sigh, his hunch was indeed correct, and when he heard the "Vampire Movie", he actually had the name of this work in his mind. Even Hugo, a person who is very reluctant to vampire movies - the sequelae of watching the "Twilight" series of movies, he couldn't help but sigh when he watched "Interview with Vampires at Night", it is really idol movies that are harmful, it turns out that vampire movies can also be shot so wonderfully, so delicately, and so deeply.
However, Hugo sighed even more that the 90s was indeed the golden age of Hollywood films, and wonderful works emerged one after another, and he had heard countless classics in the past two years.
It's just that he has no intention of starring now. (To be continued (Dian Dian Chinese Paper) provides.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Kazakhstan to read it and vote for the work for a monthly ticket. Your support is the biggest motivation for me to continue creating! )
