Queen of Vampires

I am afraid that there are not so many people who have watched this film. The reason I put it in the top three is because this movie is Aaliyah's posthumous work. "The Vampire Queen" and "Interview with the Vampire" are both adapted from the series of vampire novels by Anne Ruiss. It can be said that Warner Corporation took advantage of the success of "Interview with the Vampire" after seeing the great success of "Interview with the Vampire". And Aaliyah, who played the role of "Queen" Akasa, died in an accident when she crashed into the camera towards the end of the filming. This tragedy not only made Aaliyah's fans and fans heartbroken, but also added a bit of haze and sorrow to this movie that focused on the resurrection of the Vampire Queen. In addition, this movie connects vampires with rock music and is full of modernity.

I must say that the violin music at the beginning is very amazing! But the whole movie is hard to swallow. Although many parts are done with care, the author's portrayal of some details is also in line with the original work. It can be seen that he has put a lot of thought into it. For example, the texture of the vampire skin is in line with the original. But the plot completely lost the original masterpiece, it became abrupt and even a little funny, very entertaining but also superficial. Ambitious but never able to reach the depth of the exploration of night and immortality and the depth of the story in Interview with the Vampire.

It's weird, kind of like an opera.

[first lines]
Lestat: [voiceover] There comes a time for every vampire when the idea of eternity becomes momentarily unbearable. Living in the shadows, feeding in the darkness with only your own company to keep, rots into a solitary, hollow existence. Immortality seems like a good idea, until you realize you're going to spend it alone. So I went to sleep, hoping that the sounds of the passing eras would fade out, and a sort of death might happen. But as I lay there, the world didn't sound like the place I had left, but something different.
[rock music begins]
Lestat: Better. It became worthwhile to rise again as new gods were born and worshipped. Night and day, they were never alone. I would become one of them.
[feeds]
Lestat: Whether it was that first meal, or a hundred years of rest, I'm not sure. But suddenly I was feeling better than ever. My senses so high they led me straight to the instrument of my resurrection, playing in my old house.
