Even vampires should know the Golden Rule: You never have kids to save your marriage. 😮😆
My crazy ex-wife wanted to have a kid to save our obviously doomed marriage. That kid would have needed therapy for life because we definitely hated each other more than we loved each other by that point... and I was still almost manipulated into it. The best decision I ever made was dropping my entire life and moving 800 miles away just to get from her and the power she held over me.
@@Chris-eh8mi ... Finding the courage to escape a miserable career, marriage or life is never easy. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it. Applause for all those who can do it!
Anne Rice hated the idea of Tom Cruise playing Lestat, thinking he was nothing like her conception of him. After seeing the movie, she changed her mind and was very supportive of him as a choice to lead the movie.
Honestly, I'm not sure why she changed her mind. IMHO, especially after reading the book, they cast the actors backwards in the two roles.
She wrote Lestat with Rutger Hauer in mind. He was the bad guy in Blade Runner.
@@troy34bronze He played the main vampire in Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie.
She actually did a 5 minute intro on the original VHS release where she praises the filmmakers and Tom Cruise's performance. I still have a copy of that somewhere
I’m loving the new series. It took a couple episodes to get used to new characters, but her kids are coordinating it to keep it truthful to the books.
5:32 A bed with a blanket would be too risky. Sunlight is lethal to vampires; a coffin is guaranteed to keep sunlight away.
Hey, Dasha, the actress that played the little girl is a very young Kirsten Dunst
You didn't notice that Antonio Banderas was the vampire Armand and Christian Slater was the reporter. Anne Rice continued the Vampire Chronicles with The Vampire LeStat and The Vampire Armand among several others. My late sister was a huge fan.
The Vampire Lestat was the better book imo - probably b/c it's from the pov of Lestat who is a character of vastly greater psychological depth and complexity than Louis, after all Anne Rice made him the central character of the series
There were actually thirteen books in the whole series, by the time Anne Rice passed. She tried to move on, but was too in love with Lestat, and always felt te need to go back to him.
“Mic drop, screw you very much” LMAO 😂
Another Dasha gem!😊
lol Dasha sounds exactly what I thought vampires sounded like when I was a kid
Hahahaha😅😅😅 I mean, as Americans hearing nearly all Eastern European accents on English being so ingrained in pop culture!
@@MrBreezeLI516 Dasha and the homies, are two RUclipsrs as a kid I used to be terrified of but watching their videos, they are really softies lol
Probably the best vampire movie of all time.
It is “Never look a gift horse in the mouth.” Also, it’s “lone wolf” meaning “solitary wolf” (not one that feels lonely).
The Vampire Armand was played wonderfully by Antonio Banderas. Please watch him star in the action packed movie Desperado.
@jrobwoo688 PLEASE note that he's been playing the lead of My FUTURE ex husband...you can see it in the local theaters called MY DREAMS Since He Hit The Screen. Perhaps you've heard of the franchise? I invented it but a lotta women have tried to cash in on my idea. I need a can of HoBeGone...it works just like RAID BUT for those evil thots chasing after MY HUBSTER! 😉😂😎 #NYGenXBIKERLady
Armand in the books from what i remember looked blonde and almost like a child....slight difference there
Tom Cruise is incredible in this movie! I'm actually really surprised he accepted the role because it's unlike anything else he's ever done.
These movies were revolutionary because they were the first to show the vampire experience from the vampire’s perspective.
My favorite depiction of vampires. They are not numerous but rare, they are miserable and isolated, doomed to a static “life” while the world changes and leaves them behind. Unable to adapt and change with the centuries they become pathetic, lonely and scared but there are some, a few that can adapt and change and they thrive but still exceptionally rare among an altogether fringe species. That’s how I write my vampires in my novels, extremely rare and the ones you may cross are pitiful shells of their former selves, but a few thrive.
"Interview" is the first and only book in the series that's written in the words of Louis. All the others are in the words of LeStat so in them he's a vastly different personality. The second book, "The Vampire LeStat" & the third, "Queen Of The Damned" were combined for the second movie, "Queen Of the Damned". In this one LeStat is the most popular rock star on the planet and the vampire world meets at his big concert to kill him for giving away vampire secrets. I loved the movie although most people didn't.
i enjoyed "Damned" too but it was pretty basic compared to this. The late pop star who played the title role was very good in her debut. Having read all of the books, it was a good amalgamation.
Marius, Pandora, Quinn
I was disappointed with the movie Queen of the Damned. They left out some of the best parts of LeStat's story.
The movie suck but the music was awsome
One of my Favorite Vampire films is "Fright Night" (original versions). Classic 80s film. Highly Recommended
The new series is amazing. You should definately watch it. Anne Rice created an amazing world filled with wonderful characters. It is fortunate for us that she came back to this world after taking such a long break. (Blood Canticle (2003)-> Prince Lestat (2014).)
She went on to write two more books in The Vampire Chronicles bringing the total to 13. ( 15 if you include Pandora and Vitorrio) This served as not only a nice conclusion but a stepping stone for a new begining. I could not be happier with how the new show is taking her world and perfecting her vision by giving it the respect and time that it deserves.
When Louis drank Claudia's blood, in reality she was already condemned. She remained at the bedside of her mother who died of the plague and Claudia was therefore already infected even though there was no treatment at that time. That's why Louis bit her. This kindness pushed him to put an end to the suffering of this poor little girl who had no future except to die suffering from the plague after having lost her entire family.
10:56 to Luis’ credit: he picked a child who’s family was dead from plague, and whom would have been the next plague victim, so her lifespan wasn’t long for the world to begin with.
Well done as the movie was, it, and everything that came after, pales by comparison to Ann Rice's collective works. Vampire Chronicles. Mayfair Witches. [shiver]
The books are powerful, well researched, and painful.
🧛♂ Ann Rice is to modern vampire stories as Tolkien is to fantasy. 🧙
3:42 "Right? I mean he knows how to advertise it." Dasha's phrasing always delights me.
I am writing this to help out dasha and this video and this channel with the algorithm 🥰
Hello Dasha!😊 Special effects make-up legend Stan Winston (Jurassic Park films, Aliens, The Thing, Predator films, and Edward Scissorhands) does the make-up effects for this film. Kirsten Dunst won several awards for her performance. I haven't seen the TV series. The critics give it excellent reviews. The 2nd season is currently airing. Great reactions to this very different type of vampire film, Dasha!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏
This story is a deeply personal horror; confusion about what you should be feeling is, perhaps, the only right way to feel about it.
Likely alone in this oppinon but this is Tom cruises best roll and character. Ever. He plays it so well he’s terrifying dark disturbed and his line deliveries sell it. Of course the rest of the cast was just as great. They just dont make movies like this anymore. More can any actor today play them well enough to convince me they are what they are acting.
Tom Cruise really shines as a villain. I think he out did everyone in this film. Honestly wish he'd do more bad guy roles.
Instead we have what, this and Collateral as his only villain roles? He did exceptional in both roles. Think my favorite 2 roles of his.
After reading the books, especially The Vampire Lestat, I agree about Tom Cruise performance here. He was exactly the character of Lestat that I pictured in the books which I read a couple of years before this film was released.
@@myTERAexperience He's pretty much a villain in Tropic Thunder as well.
The little girl's mother died of the plague which was contagious. The little girl would have died anyway. That's why it was such a temptation for Louie to bite her.
Думаю, после такого тяжелого фильма о вампирах было бы неплохо посмотреть веселый фильм о вампирах 😃! Черная комедия "От заката до рассвета" (From Dusk Till Dawn, 1996), режиссер Роберт Родригес, автор сценария Квентин Тарантино, в главных ролях Джордж Клуни и Квентин Тарантино. Рекомендую, это классика!
👍👍💯
28:00 “and then… and then… so much drama” 😂
You said “look a gifted horse in his mouth!” I love it! 😂😂
Though she didnt get the wording exact, her phrasing retains it's meaning. The phrase "look a gift horse in the mouth" refers to being gifted a horse but checking its teeth to determine its age and therefore it's value.
@@themanwhosoldtheworld5350 I stand corrected!
I've never seen you so curious before. You should definitely read the book by Anne Rice. She wrote a vampire trilogy that I think you'd like: "Interview with a Vampire", "The Vampire Lestat", "Queen of the Damned".
the best movie on the planet - "Abbott & Costello meet the vampire" ... (its a comedy)
27:09 Good catch. The murder rule among vampires isnt real. In the novel, Armand tells that Santiago wants to hurt Louis for calling him a buffoon the night they met. They have a brutal one-sided brawl, and Santiago is about to crush Louis head like a melon before Armand restrains him. The female vampire Celeste wants to kill Claudia simply out of jealousy of her youth and beauty.
11:25 "She's so young, she could've have- she could've had a chance of life, you know?"
Oh. Oh no, she couldn't. _Modern_ medicine could probably help her, but this was the 1790s and she was a six-year-old with the plague. She had no prospects for living to see her next birthday.
Lestat is the actually the main protagonist of these books
6:11 Thandie Newton, Mission Impossible 2
Yes, that is an actress and that is a film she was in, your point?.
@@scottneil1187 exactly, Nya Nordoff-Hall
The opening shows the light San Francisco sign on the Ferry Building, and evening time I go the the Ferry Building Farmers Market on Saturdays, I look above the venders' stalls at the sign and think of this movie.
I noticed in the credits, "Vampire make-up and effects by Stan Winston". Today they wouldn't be able to do that. Some vocal minority would insist they use real vampires.
Historical Fiction is the reason i love the Forrest Gump movie and is also the reason why i love this twisted movie. 🤷♂️🧛♂️
Anne Rice said that she envisioned Lestat as looking like a young Rutger Hauer. I have to admit that. as much as I enjoyed Tom Cruise's Lestat, it would be amazing to see a Rutger Hauer version brought to life through AI.
"Interview With The Vampire" was released in 1995 and received mixed reviews.
Regarding the Academy Awards, the film went up against:
Forrest Gump
The Shawshank Redemption
Pulp Fiction
Quiz Show
Four Weddings And A Funeral
It was nominated for Best Original Score and Best Art Direction.
Kirsten Dunst was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Globes Awards.
Damn ... That's like facing 4 insta cult classics and you are just the emo kid 😅
That was a good year for movies
If you are on a vampire kick, I would highly recommend the new film, Abigail. It’s a lot of fun, very different in tone than Interview With a Vampire.
You gotta read the book. But more important is to follow that by reading Lestat the Vampire which tells his story.
I read the novel "Interview With The Vampire" (1976) in the early 80's, and I still weep for Claudia. 😥
How can you NOT!!
Claudia is such a tragic tale. ... From the "Plague" ... to "Unlife Under Lestat (and never growing up)"... to "Let Him Go" ... to "Waiting For The Dawn" ...
@@ChurchNietzscheagreed 😊
@@only257 your soul should cry ... if it doesn't, maybe you don't have one!!
A very young Kirsten Dunst.
Well ok, since we already got others dropping their personal suggestions for further viewing here in this comments log, I'm going to take the opportunity to do likewise - Thirst (1979), Blood for Dracula (1974), The Fearless vampire killers (1967), The Hunger (1983), The Vampire Lovers (1970), Vampire Circus (1972), and Nosferatu The Vampire (1979).
"So much drama in this vampire world" 🙆🏻♂️ yes that's correct
Tis a bunch of drama queens, some gay and some gayer.
Nice 👍
After The Fearless Vampire Killers, also known as Dance of the Vampires, a 1967 horror comedy by Roman Polański, this film is my second favorite vampire movie.
🧛
Have you seen Near Dark?.
@@scottneil1187 Just watched the trailer, didn't exactly grab my attention, maybe I'll give it a try when I'm extremely bored, but thanks for the recommendation.
Since you've mentioned Roman Polanski, seen Andy Warhol's Blood for Dracula (he has a small acting role in THAT one)?
I suggest 30 Days of Night as my other fav vampire movie after this one.
If Louis doesn't want to kill people maybe he shouldn't start so many fires... 🤷♀
The moment that I saw this I put all of my other to-be-watched videos on the back burner and moved this one to the front of the line.
This was an incredible movie. The tv show, I’ve never seen before so I don’t know. However, this one was incredible!
The TV show is exceptional. It is the best show on TV right now and I encourage every one to see it.
this movie and the books made me realize how much i love historical fiction.
history can be so boring, but insert some raging characters that explore that time period and i’ll be there. 🧛♂️
Im sure "never look into the mouth of a gifted horse" sounds BEAUTIFUL in Mother Russian!!! 🥹🙂↕️ English be like : huh?
💔💖One of my faves. Anne Rice once said that her experience with LSD inspired her Vampires.
I do not like what they have done with the new TV series.
I read every single novel of hers. I suggest the books and not the movies or TV series. That being said, Interview was the closest adaptation to book I have ever seen.💔💖
Great reaction to a great movie, but it should have been maybe 15 minutes longer.
Check out the Subspecies series...also its spin off called Vampire Journals...featuring Lestat the music lover
Always love to go to New Orleans, especially the Garden District and French Quarter, but it's been a long time. Last time we were able to go through some of the filming locations which were very interesting. When taking the trolley through the Garden District, it takes you right by Anne Rice's home. If you ever get the chance to visit NOLA, please go, you will definitely enjoy it.
"There are no good vampires in this story." -- Very true, Dasha!
Louis was a stranger to all the other vampires, as he still had a conscience. He hated being a murderer, yet he was condemned to be one.
This story inspired Sting to write the song "Moon Over Bourbon Street", which is on his first solo album, "Dream of The Blue Turtles".
It was many years ago that I became what I am
I was trapped in this life like an innocent lamb
Now I can never show my face at noon
And you'll only see me walking by the light of the moon
The brim of my hat hides the eye of a beast
I've the face of a sinner but the hands of a priest
Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there's a moon over Bourbon Street
@oDv. ... Speak for yourself! 😉
When I was young I read the series. Lestat if I remember right tried to kill only the evil people. He would read their minds. Read the book Lestat some time.
If you liked the movie, check out the book series.
This movie is so-so. I read the book quickly once, but the true masterpiece you need to read is Anne Rice's book "The Vampire Lestat". It's his origin story, and it's SO much more than Louie's story.
Edit: The Queen of the Damned movie is...meh.
❤ Great reaction! I think you would like the "Underworld" movies! Its a vampire series with more action and also has werewolves! BTW... If I haven't said it recently, "You're Awesome!" 😊
The TV show is a kind of remake of the film, and in my opinion, the film is thousand times better, by the quality of the special effects, by the actresses/actors play, by the beauty of the images, by the choice of the musics, by the way it respects the writing and the poetry of the original Anne Rice novels called "The Vampire Chronicles" (the first of her books is called "Interview With The Vampire"... The Neil Jordan film is a cinema adaptation of that first book)
I read The Vampire Chronicles of Anne Rice and I highly recommend them !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are EXCEPTIONALLY WELL DONE
Here are the books of The Vampire Chronicles
- INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE (1976)
- THE VAMPIRE LESTAT (1985)
- THE QUEEN OF THE DAMNED (1988)
- THE TALE OF THE BODY THIEF (1992)
- MEMNOCH THE DEVIL (1995)
- THE VAMPIRE ARMAND (1998)
- PANDORA (1998)
- VITTORIO THE VAMPIRE (1999)
- MERRICK (2000)
- BLOOD AND GOLD (2001)
- BLACKWOOD FARM (2002)
- BLOOD CATICLE (2003)
- PRINCE LESTAT (2014)
- PRINCE LESTAT AND THE REALMS OF ATLANTIS (2016)
- BLOOD COMMUNION : A TALE OF PRINCE LESTAT (2018)
I read until Merrick, I lacked time to read after (I had Internet, after 😂)
By the way, the name of the actress is Kirsten Dunst and not Kristen Dunst 😉
Sorry, I won't watch your video, you cut too many times
"Oyoyoyoyoyoyoyo!!"
😅 Maybe watching a vampire movie wasn't the best idea of you are this afraid of blood.
Claudia wasn't killed because of killing Lestat, she was killed because she was still a child when she was turned, and that was not allowed. A vampire child would be spotted sooner than an adult vampire by humans. If an adult lived in a village or town and didn't seem to age, people would just think he was just lucky. If a child lived in the same town for ten years, and still looked the same as when they moved in, it's a give away they are vampires. The number 1 rule in the vampire chronicles, is no human is to learn of vampires or you are a vampire, unless you are going to turn them.
Yeah she was killed because she wasn’t allowed AND for killing Lestat. They literally made that clear. Louis was to be tortured forever as his punishment but Armand saved him.
As teenager I didn't like it very much, but I quite enjoyed the rewatch after years.
Best vampire movie I've ever seen.
Great reaction Dasha, this movie needs to be seen several times to really get all of it.
Louis is the archetypal angsty vampire of modern literature, and Interview With the Vampire was a big deal when it was published. Lestat is a jerk, but way more entertaining, and the POV changes to him for the second book in the series. Lestat really does care for Louis (even if the way he shows it is kind of...dysfunctional).
Have you seen "What We Do in the Shadows"? Another really fun movie, this time a comedy, where the premise is vampires giving interviews.
If you like the story you should try the books. The vampire Chronicles
This movie/ book was semi autobiographical for Anne Rice. She may have been trapped once in a bad relationship with a narcissistic, highly manipulative boyfriend, just like Louis was. In the case of the story, Lestat traps Louis by bringing a child into the relationship. All to real a scenario of a dysfunctional family!!!
Definitely, they may not be human,
but they still are human.
All time favorite vampire movie. Top 90s movie, too.
Near Dark is easily my favourite, this one is up there though.
@@scottneil1187 Same!
@@scottneil1187Near Dark is my favorite as well.
Also a non spoiler , in the book Claudia is only 5 , in this movie she is 10 & in the new tv show she is 14
I saw this movie when it came out in 1994 and didn't really like it. However, each to their own. I thought Dasha would have enjoyed this movie, but I think I guessed incorrectly there.
The reason you associate vampires with New Orleans is because of Anne Rice and this book series. I was obsessed with the books and movie as a kid and hate-watched the first season of the show. Now I'm a full-blown fan of the show as well.
I have no interest in vampires as a horror "monster". But the trope and analogy of rich dynasties leeching of the working class is very compelling. It is not by chance most if not all vampires are of noble blood and have inherited wealth. Having generational wealth and dynasties be personified by bloodsucking monsters is quite apt
Claudia’s story is really sad, in the book she was only 5 years old.
If this doesn't inspire you to begin reading The Vampire Chronicles by Anne and Christopher Rice, I don't know what will. Anne was a most visionary storyteller, and we fans of hers are called her People of the Page. To this day the Vampire Tour in New Orleans pays homage to the late Mrs Rice.
When "Queen of the Damned" with Stuart Townsend in the role of Lestat de Lioncourt came out in theatres, it angered Anne so completely that she withdrew the film rights to the rest of her novels, and only recently, so long after her passing, did her son release the rights to remake The Vampire Chronicles as a series of television shows on AMC+. The finished firsy season of "Interview With the Vampire" is a pale attempt to retell it in our more modern world, starting in the 1930s with a Black Louis, the interview itself occurring in Dubai, UAE, but it does attempt to more faithfully follow the novel.
*24:43*
That’s *Liquid of Fire.*
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great Reaction. Thank you for watching this
Great movie. Two great movies with Christen Slater are Pump Up The Volume and Murder in the First a great movie about injustice with Kevin Bacon. You should also watch Highlander and Van Helsin 2004
Brad Pitt tried to quit this movie because he felt overshadowed by Tom Cruise. However, he didn't because he was informed that due to his contract it would cost him 60 million dollars to quit so decided to finish the movie.
They did a great job but yeah, Tom Cruise was definitely the better actor here. Kirsten Dunst who played Claudia was great, showed that as a child she could act. Later going on to star in Jumanji, Bring It On, and my favorite Spider-Man movies as Mary Jane Watson.
I heard that people were really angry when the producers chose Tom for the role.
@@user-qy2wf2lt6v Author of the books didn't like it until she saw Tom do it then loved it.
🦇 Vampires are complicated because they are evolved humans trapped in a human world. I prefer them over humans, but just like with humans I would hate most of them. 🦇
Can I suggest a fantastic vampire child romans/drama? It's a Swedish film from 2008 called "Let The Right One In".
There are Hollywood remakes but they are just shallow compared to the original. You do rely on subtitles though.
Good reaction Dasha! ❤
I love this movie. Great Reaction !
For another vampire movie in New Orleans, check out DRACULA 2000
It's sometimes scary watching your reactions... I think your eyelashes are going to get me. 😮
Palm fronds 😜
The best Vampire movgie after BLADE 1 and 2
I love your reactions Dasha 🙂
Great movie! As for the tv series, I wouldn't say there's anything great or special about THAT personally, no.
You should read the books... yes this movie was good, it was well done. But the book is better, and there are quite a few books in the series which continue the story and tell you a LOT more about everything you'd want to know about this "universe"
Cool reaction as always Dasha, you take care and have a nice day 🥰❤️😊
Norm MacDonald’s review of, Interview with the Vampire:
“Not gay enough.”
Oh .. pleasant surprise, Thanks! This one came out when I was in school still, it was quite the stirr. The goth kids especially loved it 😆👍
This is a good movie, and Anne Rice gave it her stamp of approval, but I was disappointed because it really didn't match the novel. Antonio Banderas as Armond is a good case in point. He gave a terrific performance that made me a big fan of him, but his Armand had a seething. "coiled spring" energy which is part of what made him so magnetic, but it's almost the complete opposite of how the novel described Armand as having a quietness and a stillness about him with no unnecessary movement or wasted energy. Honestly, I think Antonio's performance was probably more charismatic. However, the novel's description was what I had in my mind, and it had been been more faithfully realized in Dark Horse Comics' graphic novel adaptation. so that (and other things in the novel that left a vivid mental picture but were different or missing in the movie) was what I was looking forward to seeing when I went to the theater. That's just an inherent risk when adapting a movie from another source.
I thought the film was fairly true to the novel. It was a much better interpretation that most other film adaptations.
I didn't like the end scene with Lestat and the Guns n' Roses tune. I thought that was a sell out. I do understand that the novel's last scene wouldn't have worked well on the big screen.
Keep up the great work Dasha!
Norm McDonald's review for this movie on Saturday Night Live "Weekend Update"- "Not gay enough".
We miss you so much, Norm!
The first 3 Anne Rice books are some of my all time favorites. If you like this movie you will absolutely love the books. The next movie is okay but doesn't do book 2 & 3 justice.
I would think Vampires can die from starvation. Guess it depends on who is writing the script. I can't remember the movie name, but there was one idea on Vampires not feeding regularly would make them go feral.
You should do a reaction to Bram Stoker’s Dracula if you haven’t already.
