Stuart Townsend was amazing as Lestat he did a great job playing. Vincent Perez plaed Marius. I wish they did the Vampire Lestat into a movie instead of jumping ahead to Queen Of The Dammed. The Actress who played Akasha was even good too. She died in a plane crash I know she was a singer
The majority of vampires miss being human and hate how they can never interact with human society ever again on a normal level. Immortality can be torture.
@@clubbasher32 nah tht show is lame lol vampire can do anything shlt looks like a power fantasy for girls here you can see the sad part about being a this monster you can have friends.
This was such an amazing scene, not just in the film, but in film in general. The music, the chords. It was beautiful. I will always come back to this video every now and then.
The whole thing about the violin in the books and how this scene is done in the movie and the Violin itself by Pandit Ravishankar makes the scene something special indeed.
Even though Interview With the Vampire is considered the superior film, I think this scene effectively showed Ann Rice's emphasis on the terrible tragedy of being a vampire.
That is an opinion of your own I happen to think that this was a pretty good damn movie nowhere near as good as the books but it was a good movie none the less
@@crunchypickles99 Curious to know how you feel about Sam Reids Lestat in the current AMC series adaption? I hated Tom Cruises Lestat, I love this actor but this is not Lestat either. This is like a weak, straight, cosplay version of him. But for me, the new Lestat, Sam Reid... that is Lestat come to life. And it's as terrifying as it is beautiful. So I'm super curious to see what you think🤔
Even in medieval times there were cultists like the ones who worship Lucifer, the type of people who love occultism and mystical creatures. Such people would love having vampire as a friend. Such wise vampire as Marius should be aware of it - that vampires can have human friends / followers / worshipers.
It shows that Lestat is all about his personal pleasure and is willing to take a risk to pursue his pleasures.. to him... if he going to live forever.. he is going to enjoy it as much as he can... that is why is going to know her knowing he have to kill her eventually.
They would’ve also lived if a reckless vampire followed his masters advice. I think freaking out when a monster is in you and your daughter’s presence and fearing for your daughters safety is a perfectly reasonable response
@@orangemafia9128 you have a point, but obviously he realized exactly what Lestat was. You'd think it might cross his mind that his daughter nor him could outrun a vampire lol
@@dongiano And we also have to remember that they were Gypsies. And they know a lot about Legends, magic, folklore, etc. So yeah, the wise father.... DEFINITELY knew who Lestat was.
It would have been better if they hadn't dismantled the story to make it. They tried to combine two books to make this movie, and in the process didn't do either properly. The Vampire Cronicles should have been a trilogy. Lester wasn't even slightly turned by Marius. Marius did train him, because Magnus did not, but that's the extent of it.
@@picklefish74 it also pissed Anne Rice off so much that she walked out of the viewing and swore she'd never let another one of her books be turned into a film. Only posers enjoyed this movie. They were only trying to sell a soundtrack to the bubble gummers who thought being edgy was spending mom and dad's money at Hot Topic.
@@dokushirizo just wondering um do you count everybody that likes the movie even those that were born after it was made not knowing it was based off of a book series? (Just asking for a friend not me in anyway shape or form)
They can interact with human society at a limited capacity. Even when the interaction is positive - like Lestat making music with humans - the predatory instinct of the vampire is going to take over eventually.
My thoughts exactly! Well, it would technically be Ashe Corven's iteration of The Crow and Dorian Gray from the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Love the reference.
NCT stan No but I have been looking into it with a good teacher. I am picky about picking a random place to learn. I want to learn from the best that I can afford. Plus I live in a small pitiful town, hard to do so.
This violinist is absolutely amazing. I was a Ann Rice fan and an Aliyah fan so I went to the movies to see this when it came out but the scene that stole my heart was the violin.
@@nicolasviard2252 . Yes it has I think that would have been apparent to any musician and most music today is “ digitally altered or enhanced “ but if you look at the people who have replicated the piece it’s come out beautifully. In fact even singing in the mainstream is 99% digitally altered or dubbed in and this is why when you go to a concert the artist sounds nothing like the original recordings they have made. We have tons of very talented artists and musicians but because they don’t have the “ correct look “ they are sadly passed up all together.
What stole my heart was black strong waman power even though the actress died because some white dude who sniffed coke was her pilot and crashed her plane. Probably out of racism to stop her from becoming world famous even more
@@AbuHajarAlBugatti . I honestly hope you are trolling me because your comment actually made me laugh the way you spelt women gave it away . Drug addicts don’t care about who they kill because they don’t even care about themselves or they wouldn’t be addicted to drugs.
At 3:12 I would’ve just pretended that i didn’t see his eyes glow in the dark and clapped once they were done with the song lol. Cannot lose ur composure, get scared and start screaming... ur just asking to be their next victim. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Right! Like if you chill out and act oblivious you may stand a chance freaking out and drawing attention at night on a somewhat deserted beach you don’t stand a chance.
@@youarelife3437-If emotion is considered “raw”. Than it’s unconditioned/authentic. Like being passionate. Driven by internal motives. But “non-raw” emotion can be deceptive/superficial. It’s not viewed at surface-level. Maybe their disciplined, or manipulative for whatever social reason.
Loved the violin when my grandpa played it for me and years later watching this movie, it cemented my love it it. Always wished I could play the violin and piano.
It would be more amazing if a real Lestat played in front of Simon Cowell and see his reaction or the audiences reactions when he gets mauled by a real life vampire on national television. Priceless.
This movie made me want to take violin classes in 5TH -6TH GRADE....Yeah I learned the beginning part of the violin solo BY EAR if you could imagine how many times I practiced on my 3/4 violin lol a beast in middle school
I remember watching this movie because my mom had it and I was like 6. I remember being so in trance when he plays and I was crushing soooooooo hard as a kid. I remember being so jealous of the girl in the end when he decides to make her a vampire to save her.. I was 6 and jelly.. guess why I was into twilight a few years later lol
Lester doesn't know his own strength and accidentally kills her. This scene hits hard and sets the tone of the movie. His ego is fighting the vampire life.
I think this scene is a nod to a part of Interview With The Vampire book where after Lestat was turned by Magnus, he tried to still live a normal life. He tried to continue his career as a theatre actor but his vampire abilities ruined one of his scenes and he had to close down the theatre so the townspeople wouldn’t try to kill him.
I can't tell you how many times I replayed this scene. It was to the point where I was yelled at to stop repeating the song. RU-vid hadn't started yet, back then.
The way I readed it Ann Rice meant is that it intensified and magnified whatever you were in life if you were cold and cruel and calculating. That was all that much worse. But if you were prone to melancholy You would suffer is Louis did
Come on...it was a shit movie. They butchered the source material and sometimes the acting is pure cringe. Watch more movies. I say this as somebody who finds this a guilty pleasure.
Pretty damned sure I seen Marius in full attire standing in line to get merch at this Static X concert I was at Saturday. If not then this guy had another reason to appear such a way.
In this movie it prooved that even lastat had a mortal side about him as all he wanted was to be known and if you think about it the fact he also protected the ones he loves that's also got to mean something
Lestat is like anikan Skywalker, didn't know his power were so strong. Had he not gone crazy, the outcome would've different.....he'd still have to kill her and take the violin (it reminds him that hes human) plus the head vampires had backstories. It should have been a trilogy
Never gets old. I've always coming back to this scene (no necessarily this video upload in particular) since 2008. Maybe even before since I've been an early adopted of YT since 2005 and watched the movie not long sice it came out in the early 2000s.
And Every human shall taste death. When this song started playing Lestat realised that his Damned for Eternity. Everything that made him human is gone.
Yeah.. I mean.. Magnus and Marius were 2 completely separate vampires...The only link was Armand. I suppose they took the idea of Marius as his teacher from Lestat's love and admiration for him in the book. It would have fitted more to have a great teacher rather some dude who simply left his gold and money to Lestat and then jumped to fire. Also, the violin was kind of Nicola's thing?
@@spookyspice596 but he still didn't turn him. I feel like it would have been a better story to show Magnus abandoning Lestat and Marius coming in to mentor him
That was dope scene though. In the olden days people knew straight up what a vampire was then forgotten. I also remember in 30 Days of Night how the head vampire said that they spent centuries trying to convince humans that they didn’t really exist.
Vampires are a synonyme for the baby eating cannibals sitting in all our governments today and lead our media. Just look at Tom Cruise and his female co star from topgun. This satanist has not aged a day while his costar looks like she sits in a elderly facility Or look at Biden. He was giving speeches in senate while the VIETNAM WAR was going on and now he is the fucking president 6 centuries later
Starts at 2:05 and sadly it ends abruptly at 2:59 when the moron in charge of the scene decided that a vampire showing off would sound like a reciprocating saw. Right up until that second it was perfect and quite in keeping with the best sort of vampire aesthetic, which is classy competence raised to an inhuman standard. Not a child's idea of a super power.
I actually never watched this, I am reading the books and watched Interview with a vampire, but I don’t think I could see anyone else playing Lestat but Tom Curise
