    The death of Claudia was basically Anne Rice processing her grief of losing her daughter to leukemia. In the book Claudia is actually physically about five. The age her daughter was when she died.

      She refused movie rights initially because they wanted to make Claudia older. Kirstin Dunst did a magnificent job with the part. 😊

    Anne Rice has done a game changer on the description of vampires as beautiful monsters with a touch of class. She really made a contrast between horrific monsters and beautiful deceitful human like creatures.

    • @LordVolkov
      @LordVolkov 6 месяцев назад +9

      Rice's shift to vampire media is as pivotal as Polidori (before The Vampyre they were feral monsters, like the one Louis and Claudia meet in eastern Europe in the book).
      When Twilight was the rage, the parallels to Rice's vamps were too hard for me to ignore. Beautiful alluring predators, each with a special gift, whose skin turns hard as stone as they age... all from Rice 😅

    Let me just say this; this movie is a brilliant 90's movie because there were many things to like about this film, including Kirsten Dunst's performance as Claudia (who deserved an Oscar). But it has it's faults here and here, like how Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt hated each other during the making of the film (which is why the chemistry is lacking). It still was the reason I got into Anne Rice's books. I hope you get to binge the show after this! It's amazing!

Brad said that he felt miserable working with Tom during the production. In the show, thankfully Jacob Anderson and Sam Reid became friends during the making of the film because they shared similar interests, thus making their chemistry more real compared to Tom and Brad's.

      I was a big fan of the books as a teenager (except Louis; sorry Louis fans but he is tedious!) and this film was really a great adaptation for the time. There is less homoeroticism than the books and a lot of heternormativity is introduced (no wife and child in the book).
      This is basically the only film I liked Tom Cruise in and what a performance from a young Dunst! Hollywood has wasted her. She had some good roles after but not what she should have had.

    "That is so messed up!"
    🤣🤣🤣
    Lestat dancing with Claudia's mother is hilarious! This adaptation plays up Lestat's morbid humor 😅
    My favorite little detail of Interview is that Lestat can read minds, and tries to show Louis that they can feed on criminals, but Louis is so wrapped up in his human emotions (Louis' 'dark gift') that he cannot see the rotten trees for the forest so to speak.
    "They created a monster!"
    The irony being that Claudia's feeding habits weigh on Lestat's conscience (yes, he has one 😅) because she is predatory and somewhat indiscriminate - they wipe out whole families, she preys on women & children, kills for greed and envy, etc.

    The vampires in the books and movie are ACE. They have no sexuality because when they become vampires their sex organs don't work anymore. With men they cant even get an erection and their genitals kind of shrivel up. So their relationships only matter when there is an emotional and complex bond connecting vampires to eachother. They are beyond the constraints of gender and don't see that when choosing a partner to make or fall in love with. What is described in the books is how indescribable and beyond physical pleasure, the experience of drinking blood is. That is sex for them especially when they drink from one another, they pass on knowledge and memories, and the older ones can make weaker vampires stronger with their ancient blood.
    Edit: The show portrays vampire relationship more like human ones, so sex is back in. A change I don't think was necessary for Louis and Lestat would kiss and faun over each other in the books. I like the intimacy of finding other ways to express love without straight up sex. The show still has the spirit and core of the books so other than that lol, I do like it.

    I don't think i had ever clicked the Like button on a video before watching, but i did today. This was one of my favorite movies growing up. My dog's name was Louis because of this movie. So I'm so glad you liked it.
    Whenever I think of vampires, this is what I think of.
    This was one of the first vampire stories that humanized them. Before they were always portrayed as purely evil. Twillight and The Vampire Diaries and such owe everything to Anne Rice.

    I've seen this movie more times than I can count, and it's such a masterpiece of gothic atmosphere. The scoring, the script, the actors, the director... all the stars aligned for this one.

    One of the things I love about this movie is the practical effects. For 1994 it's done so extremely well and still holds up. The only moment in it where the effects are a little off is the bridge tunnel scene when the camera wobbles as the set rotates. The effects are so subtle that you might not even notice how good they are, like the statue's eyes, or when Lestat first "dies". It's such a good movie, one of my all-time faves.

    My friends all favored Louis or Lestat as teen goths when this came out- but my heart belonged solidly to Armand, lol.
    Claudia's hair was always curly here. Her mother died of plague and she was dying of malnutrition/dehydration after a prolonged hard time (judging by sparse lodging). She was dirty, her hair was matted- but you can see curls in her bangs and around the edges if you look. In the books you basically look how you look when you turn, forever. So like when Armand was made- he was apprenticed to be a vampire and was turned "early" due to some circumstances, so he's also considerably younger in the books, like 16-ish. Claudia was aged up for this movie- and then aged up more for the tv show.
    When Armand says "I know him well enough not to mourn his passing" it meant one thing from Louis POV of hating Lestat- and thus us as the audience to his story's perspective- but it actually meant he knew that neither Claudia nor Louis were strong enough to kill Lestat. In the book, there's more to that (and the theater). Also- Louis *does* go with Armand for a long time before they break up. I definitely recommend it. The audiobook version is pretty good, too, and Audible has a sale right now where book 4 and a couple other Anne Rice books are on the 2 for 1 credit sale.

    Hey Cody & Sergio! Loved the reaction.😊
    - I had read the book about a year or 2 before the movie came out so I wanted to watch the movie in order to see if it did the book justice. I went to see this movie in the theater w/my then girlfriend. She wasn't really into horror & she didn't care for Tom Cruise. After watching the movie, her opinion changed a bit.😊 I liked it, but I was a bit bothered that they chose Antonio Banderas to portray Armand because he was too old. In the book Armand is a 400yr old vampire in a 17yr old body.
    - Part of the lore in the books is the older the vampire that turns u the more powerful u will be. Because in essence when u drink from an ancient vampire, u take in some of their power. Lestat was turned by a 1,000 yr old vampire, & that's why Lestat was so strong.
    - Poor Claudia, mentally a full grown adult trapped in a 5yr old's body. Being turned so young, she had no impulse control. Come to think of it, Lestat was lacking some of that also.
    - Louis' gift/curse was having his humanity intact after becoming a vampire. That's why Armand was so fascinated by him.
    - In the books, there is a seductive sensuality about the vampires. Their alluring nature draws in both men & women alike. That's why there is a sense of homoeroticism in the movie, as well as the book. In the beginning, the creator & the creation are also drawn to each other, but eventually the fledgling wants to leave. Louis was not Lestat's 1st fledgling. His 1st was his own mother, who was sick & dying. They were together for years. They parted ways shortly before Lestat came upon Louis. He knew Louis wanted to leave him too. That's why he searched for something to get him to stay. As luck would have it, Louis fed on Claudia, & Lestat turned her to keep Louis w/him longer.
    - Anyway, great reaction guys. Can't wait to see what u have in store for us next.

    I’ve been an Anne Rice fan for so long, and I usually recommend after people finally watch this film for the first time to go ahead and jump right into the 2nd book, The Vampire Lestat.

    The books are very fun. Especially the ones where we follow Lestat's pov and his viewpoint on Louis and everything is so much more different than how Louis portrays things in his pov. If you're into reading then def give the books a chance
