She was actually inspired by a real person Mary Jane "Bricktop" Jackson. She even formed an all female prostitute gang in Storyville! Tom Anderson was a real guy too.
@@miea34 I want a spin-off with Bricktop and Miss Lily! Apparently Bricktop's character was inspired by a real Madame that worked Storyville and she ran a little gang.
Lots of fun choices. I honestly just noticed that Daniel referred to Louis drinking from that guy as "sucking him off". Interesting choice of words, particularly combined with him wondering how Rashid tastes.
Daniel's relationship with his own sexuality and how he projects it onto Louis and "Rashid" is a very interesting topic i’m excited to see explored in season two, especially in the 80s
Apparently, biting in sucking blood is analogous to sex for vampires. So Louis was doing the vampire-equivalent of performing fellatio in front of Daniel, especially with Armand.
2:08 HOW DID I NEVER NOTICE THAT 😂 That is now officially my new favorite moment. omfg from the back of the crowd too someone yelling, "What is wrong with that man??" 😂
The film, to me, is viewed with rose tinted glasses by those that love it. It was the only Anne Rice media we had that wasn’t Queen of the Damned, and yet, we forget how much of the actual story was left out/changed due to the time it came out. I understand where some fans come from. It’s not an entirely “perfect” imagining of the book. But I love this version because it felt the closest to what I recall reading and seeing in the graphic novel. The period changed and there are elements altered to benefit a series, but this Lestat felt far more legitimate than the version Cruise portrayed as some cartoon. Yes, we’re seeing it through Louis’ eyes. But that hardly helps me see how he stayed so long. This version was toxic, capable of manipulation while also giving off the impression he was the victim all while we temporarily forgot what he had done to earn the malice moments before. You could actually see why Louis was in the mess he was in. Lestat was given a portrayal worthy of his existence. Louis was given a portrayal that was both frustrating and beautiful to behold. Claudia genuinely felt like she was an adult trapped in a child’s body. Bravo to AMC for this beautiful piece of work.
The only thing it partially dissapointed me was certain casting decision. I thought they were going to be faithful to the books this time but they went in another direction.
Yes, Anne Rice was involved in the production of the 2020 "Interview with the Vampire" series, which is based on her novel of the same name. However, she passed away in 2021 at the age of 80, before the series aired.
her young age was always meant to be tragic and disturbing, but this older version of her is definitely easier to stomach for more people. still terrible in its own way to be turned at 14, though.
Most likely but she might not have gotten yet if she was poor and malnourished. But even if she did if she wasn't actively on her period at the time of her death/transformation she'd probably never get it again.
Thank you for a few surprises among your choices. Side note: I wonder if Louis was not killing Lestat, but just trying to "kill" the facets of Lestat's personality he didn't like (that would give another explanation as to why he didn't make certain of total destruction).
thank you! i think it fits Louis' character to try and have his cake and eat it too, to try and eternally keep the Lestat that loves and cherishes him and all while keeping Claudia, even though this family cannot coexist and he cannot keep that side of Lestat without the side that's ugly
you missed: claudia: how are you gonna fix it? which one of you is gonna fuck me?! lestat: well you aren't my type. I like a much fuller figure-- louis: lestat! lestat:--she's being impossible my all time favorite from the show
Do tell how you marry all Claudia’s…the book at age 5, first film at age ten and currently, age 14? In the beginning of the current saga she was a bit much for me.
He definitely had a hand in Paul’s death and because of Louis choices it cost Claudia her life the worst decision he ever made was not burning lestat and her agreeing with him Every time she chose him and every time he chose a dude who abuses him physically and emotionally And now Armand messing with his head out of pettiness
I saw a comment on another video that was translating each French line lestat said and the comments under that video said that It’s something along the lines of “he shits in my box” basically him saying that he tired of Louis shit, pretty sure the comment said it was old French too I think but yeah!
He said "Bordel de merde!" which is a french expression that literally means "Big mess of sh*t". I guess it's counterpart in English would be "F*cking hell!" As they both similarly convey frustration, annoyance. The rest was hard to grasp, but the previous reply to your comment has it.
@mage5459 no it's the TV version of Interview With The Vampire. I'm pretty sure it's been renewed for a second season but I think they're replacing the actress who plays Claudia.
No he did not. This is a question that was even amongst the book fandom and Anne clearly stated that Lestat had no part in Paul's death and I believe they kept the same thing in the show because the director of that episode said Lestat was sincere when he said that and he didn't want the audience to feel Louis was dumb
I love this series so much better than the movie not just because of the gay love but the acting is more believable.chris Reid could have been replaced his accent was horrible .
Wth is this? I'm so lost. I thought this was the one with Brad Pitt and Tom cruise. Can someone tell me where I can find this and check it out? I'm extremely curious
@@Worldobserver567 you know that the movie they are confirmed to be husband couple and anna rice created a book which has gay bisexual and things so in the movie they have hinted but butcherd things of the book so pla dont call woke and the book was creat for her daughter who died lukimia and was 5 almost 6 michell rice
i believe you can watch it for free somehow on the AMC website, otherwise there's some good bootlegs out there online and google drives of the episodes if you search for them (not that i don't want to support this incredible series, but you know how it is)
The movie butchered the source material and was very much just Cruise playing Cruise like always. The series took some creative liberties but is much more cohesive for it. The scenery, costumes, chemistry are just gorgeous.
