It's one of my favorite horror movies, and I have DVD! You can see the young Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise. In the movie, they were much handsome than now. Even though they were young, they act really well. Let me tell you the summary of the movie.
A journalist is allowed to interview with a vampire. The vampire whose name is Louis tells about his 200 years. In 1791, Louis, who lost his wife and child, wanted to give up his life. Lestat, a vampire, found Louis and bit him. Lestat gave him a choice to die or to be a vampire, and Louis chose the latter. After that, Louis felt unhappy because he had to kill people and he felt guilty. One day he met a little girl, Claudia, who lost her mother. Lestat made her a vampire, and Louis's life was changed.
It has a tag line, "Drink from me and live forever." If we can live forever, will our life be perfect like a god? I think etenal life gives us lack. Vampires also feel loneliness, despair, and fear, and look for beauty and love. This movie has a philosophy of life!

Last year I read the original Dracula. It's quite a powerful myth with so many interesting themes of feminism, life, death, goodness, xenophobia and more.
I used to be too afraid to see such films, but I'm getting braver. Perhaps I'll rent this once school is over.
