Interview with the Vampire (1994) Movie Part 1✨ Criminal Analyst First Time Reaction 

How come that in the past one musketeer could tell the other musketeer "I love you with all my hearth" and it wasn't considered gay. But nowdays a good male friendship is gay....

@@blueeyed5074 a lot of it is america directly and it's influence on the world. It is important to understand that the people who colonised America in the beginning where all extremists in one way or the other. You don't just leave your life behind and try to start fresh halfway around the world with nothing if you have a stable place to live already. Many where puritanians or other religious splinter groups, who felt that their European countries didn't provide the right place for their belief, so they went somwhere where they could shape the world in their views. And from this very conservative stock, we get the america we have today, that is still very deeply steeped in being the 'right' kind of christian. Rememeber how Louis One-Night-Stand in the show said he enlisted in the Army because 'european sensibilities' weren't as concerned with Skincolor and sexuality? I mean, we are mainly talking about western Europe here and especially in that time period, my Country, germany, very _specifically_ went in the other direction, but the french were pretty much always more lax and the english went with 'as long as i don't have to know, i don't care.' That isn't to say that 'sodomie' wasn't viewed as a crime in many european countries as well, but the persecution was much less and since there was no direct Slavery in Europe (we just benefitted from it indirectly, much nicer, leaves your hands much cleaner) the Idea of the inferior Black was... differently shaped then in America. This is, of course, only a very narrow Window into what is a giant socioeconomic progress that you could write a dissertation about but these points are part of why we are were we are right now (As an afterthought, I am happy to report that in northern germany quite specifically we are extremely progressive. My mother married her wife three years ago and the choir we conduct, consisting mostly of elderly ladys in their 60s-80s all attended to sing and my Grandmother recently had a long converstation with my trans best friend in which she ranted about stoopid people who shouldn't care what anyone else does and just let people live their lifes :)

Vampires dont have sex in Anne Rice books. So how they can be bi or homo or straight?

Same here! Every time I get a notification I rewatch!

Absolutely.... equality :))

💯

The sad thing about the movie is that Cruise and Dunst knock it out of the park with their performances, but Pitt is clearly phoning it in...which hurts because he's the main character. Jacob Anderson clearly cared a lot about the show, and that's why his performance shines.

​@@gildatheplantthat's because Brad was having a difficult time while making the film due to the process of him dealing with the make up he tried quiting the film but was warned he had to pay a big fine so he stayed

I don't know. In the 30 years since the making of the film, Brad's said all kinds of different reasons for not wanting to do the movie. It's hard to believe what the truth is. That said, the reason for staying (the fear of losing millions for backing out of his contract) is true. That was standard practice for trying to back out of a movie contract back then. @@angelaholmes8888

Nope, that was definitely not the intent. Or, at the very least, it was not as simplistic as that.

@@bridgetteparker7719 trust me, I've read everything that Anne Rice ever wrote

Anne Rice literally referred to Louis and Lestat as a romantic couple whenever she discussed them. @@archangeljmj6008

@@archangeljmj6008 Then you can only blame your lack of reading comprehension.

“--- ‘Were Nicolas and Lestat actually lovers or just friends?’---- ‘They were lovers. Lestat is bi-sexual and always was. And all my vampires transcend gender in their orientation.’” -Anne Rice Jan 16, 2015 via her official Facebook.

You sir, are a clown of the highest order, lol. 🤡 Anyway, Anne Rice said Gay Vampire Rights, baby! 😁🏳️‍🌈🧛❤🧛‍♂️🩸

I've read books 1 through 11 of the Vampire Chronicles and read this book in particular 4 times. Lestat is very much bisexual. Many of the Vampires in this universe are bi- or pansexual to some degree. They are too old and wise to limit themselves by labels or gender. They can and do fall in love with anyone, regardless of gender.

LOL. Anne Rice once referred to herself as a gay man trapped in a woman's body, at a time when such ideas of gender and sexuality were almost completely unheard of. She was "woke" decades before the term was coined. Lestat has a multitude of male and female lovers in the books- with Nicki, Louis and David (all men) being his three most important love interests. Akasha is perhaps his most important female lover, but that relationship was forced on him, so not a true romance.
