Interview with the Vampire (two)

I think the theme in the film Interview with the Vampire is about humanity, although the leading roles are vampires, and it makes the films impressive with strong emotional power. The vampires have permanent life and forever young appearance, but they are tired with unchanged life and reflecting the meaning they exist. Such as the young girl Claudia, she longs for love and the normal life as a human, since her appearance will never change as a vampire. And as for Louis, his contradiction and passiveness to his love to Claudia and Lestat, and his struggle and hesitate to be more like human or vampire…All these elements make the film conveys a deep thinking and exploration to humanity.

In addition, the film Interview with the Vampire is considered as classic and very popular not only because of the great filmmaking and impressive theme, but also the image of vampires are changed from evil and horrible into handsome, charming, and more human-like (though most of them still have selfish and cruel nature). This film creates a new character image of vampire and achieves success, which sets a good example and has great influences to the modern vampire films.
