A vampire with untouched humanity-"Vampire Passion"

In the simply furnished room, the interviewee of reporter Malloy looks thoughtfully at a corner of the horizon. The pen, paper and tape recorder are ready. The emerald green pupils of the guest who have gone through the long years connect the journey of the age with the gap between the time and space. , He was wearing a black suit, with long silky light brown hair neatly tied up, sitting upright, and the warm wind from the windows blew the rare blue-blooded nobleman; the reporter confirmed that the interviewee was a foreigner, and clicked The tape recorder, the nobleman's calm voice, as dull as a university professor talking about chronicles in class, is recorded on the geared tape.

In New Orleans in 1791, Louis, who had just experienced the pain of losing his wife and child, used the poison of alcohol to numb himself. He was decadent and irresistible. He argued with each other in the casino, even if the gun was pointed at the open chest. , The uninvited guest holding on to the wooden handrail, deeply felt that Louis, who was out of touch with life and death, could become a permanent partner. The pale figure followed the prey out, waiting for the opportunity to give the immortal body to drive...

Vampires are a contradictory race, with a human appearance, long hair Shawl, noble and handsome, with fresh blood to maintain the immortal and immortal body, they have been in the world for hundreds of years, afraid of the sun, and like to act in the dark, although vampires are elegant in appearance, different from werewolves, and the ugliness of snowmen; but vampires are a horrible legend on earth. , I specifically choose to take nutrition in the narrow streets and alleys with weak light. At the same time, there are probably not many people who have seen vampires. Pale claws and dyed red and white teeth are raging in the night. After all, Junyi's appearance is not an enemy, fearing death and dying at the hands of demons. Above, the soul must not go to the indecent of heaven.

Louis is a tragic figure. His wish to reunite with his wife and children in heaven as soon as possible was given up because of Lestat's bite through the arteries of his neck; if he wanted to die, he could not die, immortal and immortal, and the gift of blood allowed the conscience of Louis to mix with the devilish nature of vampires, and the passing of his healthy complexion. The pale and bloodless face bid farewell to the morning sun during the fusion of human blood and demon blood.

Lestat broke the established image of vampires alone. As a veteran who walked alone on the ground for hundreds of years, he failed to see through the difficulties of loneliness. He admired the rare beauty of Louis. Traveling together, see all the people who talk to the boundless world. The relationship between Lestat and Louis is complicated: Lestat is the creator of Louis. He taught the creation of vampires how to find the purest and most beautiful fresh blood. Still, he could not accept the absurdity of smoking human blood. He could only suck the blood of mice, birds, and poultry. The sip of human blood was passed through the teacher's glass, and he was reluctant to drink it.

The same kind of people continue to fight for the identity of the lost, killing innocent girls to get blood to survive. Louis rescued Claudia, whose mother died in the plague, and she became the second target of Lestat to become a vampire. Three people walked together, Claudia's similar identity, reconciled the two The murderous evil of the famous companion.
Children are the easiest to absorb knowledge. Claudia's blood sucking comes from the instinctive commotion in the body. There is no filtering of good and evil, but the childlike innocence of learning new things quickly completes the eating course. The learning progress is much faster than Louis; she is so familiar with Louis. The vampire fights between good and evil, and is deeply attracted by the love of his father who takes her away from death. Claudia saw the bathing scene of a naked mature woman, and produced a gift through the blood-sucking ceremony-doubts and anxiety about age and body shape in a static state forever. She cursed her childhood body and scolded it for failing to grow up as an obstacle to forming a relationship with Louis. The relationship can only be maintained by father and daughter, and the indifferent single thoughts.

Vampires can communicate with humans in the same room: One of the opera houses in Paris, France, a stage play dominated by vampires, through the sacrifice of girls' flesh and blood on the stage, tells the world that the soul of the blood sucked by the vampire can go straight to heaven, and the atmosphere is cold and trembling. The crowd of ghosts danced wildly, and the audience looked surprised. The curtain call ended. Even if the true identity was not revealed, the vampire's message was expressed in a way that humans would accept. This is the closest contact between humans and foreign races, even if the audience is covered in human skin and sucked blood. A family of paradoxical interpretations.

The tape ends, and the heart song to be told is exhausted. The power of the vampire is the envy of the reporter. He hopes that Louis will reward the immortal body. The human desire for immortality and superpowers has disappointed Louis again. He is not for Malloy. I can learn from the experience of the undead loneliness and sad lesson sentimental.

When people go to the empty building, Louis's comfort can only be from the sunrise film shown in the theater, and the orange-yellow view of the marshland three hundred years ago, warming the last nostalgia of being a person; a vampire walking alone late at night, the warmth of the setting sun is not necessary The heart that has been warm and cooled from time to time, although it is short-lived.
