Hmm.. I think for everything
that I love the film, I dont think I would have liked
it half as much if, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruse or Antonio Banderes
hadnt been in it, I'm
afraid.. So this is probably a bit of a biast acount of it ^_^.
but I dont care cos
I've seen the film so many times I can now quate ever word... Sad
I know, but it's the
only film I think I can do that with.
Now, I may be a Goth, (something totaly difrent to them people
that think there
vampires, all right!) and I may have loved Vampires from an early
age, I never liked
Vampire movis, exept "Lost Boy's" (but Kifer Sutherland
was in that ^_^ tehe). and I
really cant stand "Bram Stoker's 'DRACULA'" (even if
Keanu Reves was in it) I've just
about seen every Vampire flick going from weird to black and
white, anything... but
'Intervew with the Vimpire' is the only film I've ever wanted on
video, or could bare
to watch more then once.
One were there was atchual simpathy with the Vampires, and not
that there all bad and
evil buggers... jeez we eat cow's and pig's and stuff and thats
all right... if you
ask me I think the world is over populated with people and we
could do with a bit of
culling ^_^, there natcheral prediters of man kind... hmm. may be
I need a word with
Louis then he might not feel so bad all the time ^_^ tehe, well
being a mortal who
dosnt care for mortal's after all, but that's a long story ^_^.
Proper Film Review
I have to say I can see this film being a Medea
students dream *thought I'm probably wrong* but it is beautifully
made, every fraim seem's to have been posed to captcher the up-most
eliganse and poise. The film dose miss and chaing quite a lot of
the story that was in the book, but the bit's that were axed I
guess were for the good, and only the key eliments left in.
Thing's they missed from the book:
Louis brother Paul.
Louis sister and mother.
Lestat's Farther.
The slave Danile.
A little unknown fact
for Bishonen fans!
I'm not quite sure on this but
I'll shere it with you anyway. this bit is take
straight from "Manga Max No14" because I wasnt sure on
how to word it difrantly.
During the long gestation period of the Interview with the
Vampire film, the rights at
one point resided Lorimar, who convinced Rice that the project
would be unfilmable with
two mail stars. (what do they know!! befor this bit of the review
there just going on
about the homoerotic overtones between Louis and Lestat and how
an American market
couldnt stumack it but an Eastern one could. The gods help all
thought homeophobic
ideats that read IwtV! even more so if it's the Vampire Lestat!
But I supose it can be
given the excuse that Vampires dont need to procreat and that all
the love they have for
one another is purly platonic... and for those of you out there
that dont know what that
is it's like the love you have for a sibling of your mother...
that dosnt apply to any
rednecks reading this ^_^ *snigger*, eep I'm loosing my self,
carry on!) Instead, Rice
opted for another bishonen staple: cross-dressing. (ya.. and how
many times has THAT one
been done?... *sigh*) She rewrote her original to suggest that
Louis was actually a
woman, (ugg) disguised as a man in order to retain control of her
plantation. 'to dress
as a man means to be a totally different legal entity,' she told
Michael Riley in
Conversations with Anne Rice. 'I got enchanted whith the idea. I
also felt that Louis
was me, and because of that the whole thing made better sense
when it was a woman. (not
to us Bishonen fans it dosnt!) I dont see it as in any way
betraying the material, (no
it's blooming sacralig! Blasfeemer!) but my readers let me know
right away that they
didnt like it.' *end of review* (ya, I bet they let her know with
hate mail probably!
or death thrats, if I'd read the damn thing and Louis turnd out
to be a girl I'd
scream... and then send my own death threats ^_^ tehe... sorry
Anne but we like it
because it's like it is.
