These are based on the Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice (RIP), so, yes, a lot of narration in the script. They stayed pretty true to the story as well, which is nice. Good reaction!
More vampire movies for you: Let the right one in, Fright Night, Lost Boys, 30 Days of Night. I'm sure I can think of many more but those are a few in case you need more. Love your reactions!
@@randomlyreactandreviewfirstEzy I can't wait! I missed Bram Stoker's Dracula but I will be watching that one next! (I couldn't wait to watch this one) Thank you!
@@randomlyreactandreviewfirstEzyThe funny thing is, this movie is based on a book. The part where Lestat says: "pay no attention, your body is dying" - in the book, it's: "yeah yeah, do you have oil for your lamps, I need light to read!"
"He's always running with a house burning down..." 😂 That's Louis for you I love this movie so much. Even aside from the story which is based on a fantastic book, I think it's one of the most beautiful and atmospheric historical movies to date. And star performances from all the actors involved.
I don’t think Claudia grew a conscience, I also don’t think she was unaware that she was a vampire - she just didn’t understand how horrible it was going to be at first. After 30 years still looking like an elementary school student, she got pissed off - she wanted revenge on Lester, she didn’t feel bad.
From what I remember, the musicians were more like eighties new wave rockers than "hippies". He also became their lead singer and renamed the band The Vampire Lestat instead of becoming their manager.
The scene where Loui killed the theather vampires was only possible because Loui wakes before those vampires. The stronger the vampire the less they need to sleep. Loui was young but Lestat Blood was very potent. Its blood was so strong that even a young vampire like loui was still stronger than any of those vampires (except of course Armand). So loui took advance of his early wakening and killed them all while they slept.
Love your channel, another great reaction! As you asked in the reaction, back in the day the enslaved people had their own living areas separate from the main house where the owners lived, so the slaves in the movie still had a place to live. You're right though, Louis could have just left them the house instead of burning it down! They didnt really establish it in the movie too well but Louis actually had a good relationship with the enslaved people that his family owned, they weren't scared of him (until Lestat showed up).
I was looking for the most entertaining thing to say. I know slaves had lil huts they slept in. but if there's no slave owner there, I don't think they would be allowed to take over that land. they would have been sold to another owner. And if that fire spreads their huts would be destroyed and they would be blamed. so, I just decided to go the neutral route. hey thanks for all your support.
@randomlyreactandreviewfirstEzy Ah ok, sorry I didn't catch that! I'm Neurodivergent and sometimes I take things way too literally and I don't recognize when someone is joking or not being serious, oops 😬 Anyways, thanks for the great videos! You have a great energy 👍
Claudia didn't actually gain a conscience about killing. She was mad that they had changed her into a vampire at such a young age meaning she could never get older and mature in body. She was angry about it, understandably so. As others pointed out, it's against the vampires' laws to make a vampire so young, but Lestat did it to hold onto Louis' companionship by force of guilt. Louis also was giving the interview to make people aware of vampires and as a kind of therapy session and to tell someone outside of the vampire community so he could be treated like the monster he felt that he was. so, with Lestat, what choice would you pick?
Claudia was killed because she plotted to kill Lestat. It is forbidden to kill a vampire. It was also forbidden to create a vampire as young as Claudia.
Hey E, I loved this reaction! I read the books in high school, and I also saw the AMC series "Interview With The Vampire", which you might like. The character of Daniel, the journalist (I'm a journalist, as well) , reminds me of some of the writers that I work with. In fact, one of them wanted to find a real vampire in NYC, and interview him or her. I told her that looking for that kind of thing never ends well. You never know what you're going to find when you're seeking the dark. Thank you again for the reaction. Would you consider reacting to a series like "Stranger Things" or "Yellowjackets"?
thank you once again!! I'm happy you liked it. sure, I would react to those shows when I get the time. I got a lot of videos to do including "The Menu" movie you and others asked about.
@@randomlyreactandreviewfirstEzy Yes, I remember suggesting that to you. I'm looking forward to it. I love that you're putting out more videos. I have a feeling this channel will pick up, and will grow alot. Your personality is just great, and you deserve success.
The AMC tv series version of "Interview with a Vampire" is several hours, but it is even wilder than the movie and a fun watch. The tv series takes some artistic license to do certain things very differently than what's in the movie or even the book. Anyway, thanks for another great reaction to another great movie! @@randomlyreactandreviewfirstEzy
I could see how it could be taken that way but since I read the books it wasn’t about sexual innuendos. It was about having a companion to walk the world with. Absolutely a deep relationship, but not a sexual/romantic relationship. I guess that’s why I never saw the cringe factor until people mentioned it. In the books Lestât had more of an erotic relationship licking blood off the floor everywhere he ran into it, lol.😂
I got that, but I do understand how actions could have been miss leading to some. and Louis and Armand had sexual innuendo. and Claudia did kiss Louis. but at the end of the interview Louis got mad because the reporter didn't get it. even Lastat wanted a companion (maybe got one at the end?). each one needed someone else. @@heather9857
Almost all vamp movies have overt sexual tones between men and women, but its accepted as a foregone conclusion. I don't think this film is the best adaptation of the novel, but I always find it interesting that the homosexual tones are seen as cringe.
Other Good Vampire Movies 1. Near Dark 2. Shadow of the Vampire 3. The Lost Boys 4. Fright Night (1985 version) 5. From Dusk Til Dawn 6. 30 Days of Night
First video I've seen from your channel, enjoy the review... Might I suggest/request you not remove/switch up the size of the movie screen soo often? It tends to give that same hard to follow sick stomach feeling when following a hand held camera that's shaking/moving all over the place. I understand pausing for your input etc but the dark to white flashs are a bit much. Thx ❤
Let me answer some of your questions. "Why people dont seem to note they are being bitten?" A: When a vampire bites you, you feels pleasure. You dont realize u have be bitten. "Why cant they make a agreement with humans to donate blood?" A: Young vampires like Loui need a lot of blood each night. Donations would not be enough. As the vampires grow older. They will need less and less blood. Vampires older than 1000 years, need just to sip some blood each night."
Lestat's comment about not being a big fan of the democratic process is not based in race. He was a noble of the European class system. Therefore, anyone that was not a noble, he perceived as beneath him. He is an elitist character. Claudia doesn't gain a conscience; she's a prolific killer. However, being a woman stuck in the body of a child would be infuriating. That's why it's technically against the "vampire rules" to make a child into a vampire.
Has anyone here watched the television series Interview With The Vampire? In my opinion its makes better than the movie. I highly recommend checking it out. You may even want to do reactions to it. Quite a few other channels have and everyone has really enjoyed it, season 2 is set to start in May of this year. Great reaction.
thank you. no I haven't seen the show. at some point down the line, I will check it out because at the moment I'm full of movies and shows to do now. ok later.
I've loved the movie for decades, and still do. And I'm obsessed with the series and have read some of the books because of it. I'm glad we have them all!
I don't know if I'd say "better", personally, but it's different and awesome! Jacob Anderson is such a wonderful Louis, and Sam Reid is an AMAZING Lestat! I'd highly recommend it!
It’s actually been a long time since I’ve seen this film. They do some interesting things with the vampire legends. I just usually like my vampires to be more monster like rather than European aristocrats
In Anne Rice's books ( at least 15 of them ) a vampire gets all the persons memories and talents when he drinks his blood. Can't believe how much you missed and got wrong. Weren't you watching? Check out "Queen Of The Damned". Lestat becomes a rock star on the same level as the Beatles.
No problem in diving into some great vampire films, there r many. They r def some beautiful vamps. Kirsten Dunst the little grl vamp did a phenomenal job in this film, for such a young actress. Vampires have many powers like, hypnosis, shape-shifting, reading ur mind, manipulation, super strength, speed and of course immorality. This and "Queen of the Damned" with the beautiful Aaliyah r my favs. Also, if ur in to series shows I recommend "True Blood" whether u watch alone or react to. I would never want to live forever. Thanx so much, take care, Peace
There are a lot of erotic, including homoerotic allusions in the novels. However, I can't remember one passage of the vampires actually having sexual intercourse. They get off on drinking blood and develop very close "companionships" that last for centuries. Anne Rice was not "above" writing erotica (see some of her very explicit erotica, written under a different name). I think that's an important fact about the vampires. Their lust is blood.
Im a big fan of this book series and for me this movie was a bit of a letdown. Over the years it has grown on me though. In the book Claudia is a five year old, she was aged up for the movie for obvious reasons. Armand (played by Antonio Banderas) was 17 in the book. In these books the vampires are not really sexual beings but they are attracted to others regardless of gender. Glad you enjoyed it. Over the years, I’ve been able to separate the book from the movie and it’s been much more enjoyable.
thanks my guy!! I didn't read the books, so I judged it on movie alone. acting was on high level, music was really good, great story very unique, and that make-up! the costume and make -up team shined in this. all that culminated in the rating I gave it. I appreciate you sharing. ok later pal.
Really? Any evidence for that? You really believe vampires exist? The only "vampires" that exist are humans who like to role play as vampires. Please learn the difference between reality and fiction.
You REALLY need to watch the AMC series based on the book...they made a LOT of changes, but the themes are the same. It's probably the best series I've ever seen. You won't be disappointed.
It stresses me out to think about vampire children. They have to drink just to stay a child physically forever that is so depressing. Even if you mature spiritually, mentally, emotionally or whatever you’ll always be a kid. YUCK . I don’t miss being a child so it’s hard for me to watch. Lol…
@@randomlyreactandreviewfirstEzy Idk if you’ll watch it on CZcams cuz that’s the only uncut version on there but if not, let me know and I’ll suggest another film
