directed by Neil Jordan, from the novel with the same tittle by Anne Rice and released on 1994 - gosh, I`m just a toddler that time - this movie is THE BEST VAMPIRE MOVIE EVER MADE for me - you know I just overblown everything.
I read some other people`s reviews about this movie before writing this, then I realized, the story isnt really great or something - but its worth watching, be sure of that.
its more to a drama than a horror or mystery or even thriller.
well, the casts really do make some sense.
especially Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt.
Pitt doesnt really impress me with the acts nor the look in the movie though.
anyway, Cruise really does. I have always been adoring him and his movies, but he was just a fatherly figure for me. in the movie, he transformed from a very father figure to a sexy irresistible high class vampire. appeared in long wavy blonde hair and pale skin, he really fitted the vampire Lestat character.
you will also find young Kirsten Dunst playing an everlasting young vampire girl, Claudia, who was adopted by both Louis (Pitt) and Lestat (Cruise) as their daughter. there are also some cameo appearance from Christian Slater (Malloy, the interviewer), Antonio Banderas and Stephen Rea (Armand and Santiago, another vampires).
the scenes began with Louis being interviewed by Malloy, a journalist who felt very interested with the life of this mysterious guy, a bit shocked and couldnt believe when the guy claimed himself a vampire, then began to tell the story of his life from the moment he became one.
the scenes going on interestingly I think.
here is a bit of the story reviewed by homevideos.com
In 1791, after the sudden death of his wife, New Orlean's plantation owner, Louis, has lost his will to live. Vampire Lestat finds Louis affable and offers him a chance at joining him in immortality. With consent, Lestat turns Louis into a vampire and begins to teach him the ways of the night. But unable to take life, unlike Lestat, Louis grows to regret his decision. Ready to leave, Lestat turns a little girl into a vampire to persuade Louis to stay. With Louis narrating the story 200 years later, he tells of his adventures in death, love, and trouble to a young San Franciscan reporter.
some pics of the movie
another reviewer of the movie said that the ending is silly, but I think its really not. contrastly, the ending makes me want to know whats going on after.
well you can find it out on the sekuel book of this Vampire Chronicle series, authored by Ann Rice, The Vampire Lestat. She`s also the author of another filmed vampire novel, The Queen of the Damned.

after all, its a good movie - for me - which is why I recommend it for you.
hope you enjoy it!
