Interview with the Vampire is an excellent novel written by Anne Rice belonging to the Vampire Chronicles, it revolutionized vampire stories, so its film adaptation was just as good as she wrote the script, in this film the character that stands out the most is Lestat played by Tom Cruise, this actor knew perfectly how to give life to a character as complex as the vampire Lestat because this character is narcissistic, he has a cynical sense of humor, he is elegant, arrogant but at the same time he is funny, he has a very attractiveness that contrasts with his insatiable thirst for blood, at times Lestat seems to have genuine and human emotions, such as the ability to feel love for Louis whom he transforms into a vampire after finding him in a depressed state due to the death of his wife and son, Although this action could be seen as Lestat's selfish whim to have a partner, he makes it look like a gift or new opportunity that he gives Louis by taking him away from human suffering.

This character does not have a simple psyche, it is so complex that even the viewer generates feelings of empathy and revulsion for the same character, I must admit that Tom Cruise gave a wonderful performance capable of standing out even when the film is narrated from the point of view of Louis who was played by Brad Pitt, having such a good actor as a co-star, they both did an excellent job, but the character of Louis was more emotionally sensitive, he still had a lot of human suffering, he was initially shown as a weak character from feelings, which makes Lestat the bad boy in the story, but consequently Lestat's character becomes the most attractive and demanding in terms of acting.

This film was so important that it became a classic film for lovers of the genre, Tom Cruise's participation was excellent, it was a total success that they chose Tom Cruise for the role of Lestat, if for example Tom Cruise had played Louis, I am sure it would not have been a good choice, since Cruise retains that charisma and genius to interpret characters full of vitality, a Vampire is a non-living character but Lestat proved to be the most alive of all, fully enjoying the life he had , Tom Cruise knew how to capture the essence of the character and his facial expressions when saying phrases full of sarcasm, I always consider that the most malevolent characters are the most difficult to interpret and Tom Cruise did it with the characteristic elegance of a Vampire written by Anne Rice.
