   When I heard that a new version of Interview with the Vampire would be brought to life I immediately wanted more information, but when I found out that it would be broadcast on a channel I don't subscribe to I had to wait, so when it was uploaded to Prime Video I immediately started watching the first season, which has 7 episodes.

   As you may already know this is a serialized version of the book of the same name by Anne Rice, of which they had made a movie in 1994 starring at that time Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Christian Slater, Antonio Banderas, Kirsten Dunst and Stephen Rea, now they decided to bring back this story, but in a serialized version.

   The truth is that I thought it would be the same version, but with different actors, but to my surprise it is about, or revolves around the decision of Louis de Pointe du Lac, to meet again with journalist Daniel Molloy, to give a new interview changing part of his previous version.

   Basically, we can say that the central story is the same as Louis is seduced by Lestat, how Claudia comes into their lives and how his decision to become a vampire changes everything.

   Now, there are details, let's say, that vary notably in comparison with the 1994 film, such as the beginning of the story, since in one we meet, in the film, a young white plantation owner, but here by giving the role to a young Afro-descendant, Jacob Anderson, they paint the story differently or are forced to do so.

   This is where another detail of the series comes in, which is something that has been noticed in all series and movies for years, but each time, from my point of view, more forced and the truth is that many times the resent productions become unpleasant and it is what many call forced inclusion and it is not that it is wrong to include people of color, Latinos, Indians, of different sexual preference or more, the issue is that they put so much into one thing that it makes it look or feel like something desperate, imposed or what do I know, as I see it, they seem to want more acceptance, and excuse me if I hurt sensitivities, but it is my humble opinion.

   On the other hand, the introduction of characters that are not those of the same characteristics of the book, which I have not read, but I know it is so, forces them to make sense of them and in this series they did it at least as far as Louis, Claudia and Armand, on the other hand, the series keeps you there, tense glued of the screen, although sometimes it becomes a little slow, but it is because they are explaining you so that it is understood.

   As usual Lestat de Lioncourt, is a complex character that you can both love and hate, the actor Sam Reid gave him a life and an air of elegance, irony, evil, violence, cynicism and manipulation impressive, for his part and as usual Louis is a sensitive being who lives the consequences of what he has decided to be, which in turn has caused him to lose other things, which apparently did not weigh well.

   Obviously this series talks about homosexuality at a time when it was not at all accepted, nor well seen and is raised in a rather crude and let's say graphic way, so I think it is not a series suitable to watch with children, I think there is that sex education is the subject of both school education, but especially of parents at home, and television and the media in general are taking the baton in this, but that's a topic for another community and publication.

   In general the critics have given everything to the series, but they have managed to renew it for a second season, it is not what I really expected, but there are commendable things like some performances, the costumes, now I do not know yet what to say if it is good or bad, because I think there are divided opinions and I am in the middle, but I want to see the second season of which so far I have been able to enjoy the trailer, although already being broadcast on AMC + and which lets us know that there was a change in the cast.

   

   

   

   Al conocer que darían vida a una nueva versión de Entrevista con el Vampiro de inmediato desee tener más información, pero al saber que la trasmitirían en un canal en el que no tengo suscripción me toco esperar, así que cuando la subieron a Prime Video de inmediato me dedique a ver su primera temporada que cuenta con 7 capítulos.

    

   Como ya sabrán esta es una versión, en serie, del libro del mismo nombre de Anne Rice del que y habían hecho una película en 1994 protagonizada en aquel momento por Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Christian Slater, Antonio Banderas, Kirsten Dunst y Stephen Rea, ahora decidieron traer de nuevo esta historia, pero en una versión de serie.

    

   La verdad que creí sería una versión igual, pero con diferentes actores, pero para mi sorpresa se trata, o versa en torno a la decisión de Louis de Pointe du Lac, de reunirse de nuevo con el periodista Daniel Molloy, para dar una nueva entrevista cambiando parte de su versión anterior.

    

   Básicamente, podemos decir que la historia central es la misma como Louis es seducido por Lestat, como llega a la vida de ambos Claudia y cómo su decisión de convertirse en un vampiro lo cambia todo.

    

   Ahora bien, hay digamos que detalles, que varían notablemente en comparación con la película del 1994, como el comienzo de la historia, ya que en una nos encontramos, en la película, con un joven blanco dueño de una plantación, pero aquí al darle el papel a un joven afrodescendiente, Jacob Anderson, nos pintan la historia de otra manera o se ven forzados a ello.

    

   Aquí es donde entra otro detalle de la serie que es algo que se viene notando en todas las series y películas desde hace años, pero cada vez, desde mi óptica más forzado y la verdad hace que muchas veces las resientes producciones se tornen desagradables y es lo que muchos llamamos la inclusión forzada  y no es que esté mal incluir personas de color, latinos, hindúes, de diferente preferencia sexual  o más, el tema es que metan tanto en una sola cosa que se hace ver o sentir como algo desesperado, impuesto o que sé yo, como yo lo veo, parecen desear mayor aceptación, y me disculpan si hiero sensibilidades, pero es mi humilde opinión.

    

    

   Por otra parte, la introducción de personajes que no son los de las mismas características del libro, que no he leído, pero sé que es así, los obliga a darle sentido a ellos y en esta serie lo hicieron al menos en cuanto Louis, Claudia y Armand, por otra parte,  la serie te mantiene allí, tenso pegado de la pantalla, aunque a veces se hace un poco lenta, pero es porque te van explicando para que se comprenda.

    

   Como de costumbre Lestat de Lioncourt, es un personaje complejo que se puede tanto amar como odiar, el actor Sam Reid le dio una vida y unos aires de elegancia, ironía, maldad, violencia, cinismo y manipulación impresionantes, por su parte y como de costumbre Louis es un ser sensible que vive las consecuencias de lo que ha decidido ser, lo que a su vez le ha originado perder otras cosas, lo que al parecer no sopeso bien.

    

   Obviamente en esta serie se habla de la homosexualidad en una época en la que no era para nada ni aceptada, ni bien vista y se plantea de una manera bastante cruda y digamos que gráfica, por lo que considero no es una serie apta para ver junto a niños, creo que hay que la educación sexual es tema tanto de la educación escolar, pero sobre todo de los padres en casa, y la televisión y los medios en general están tomando la batuta en esto, pero eso es tema para otra comunidad y publicación.

    

   En general a crítica le ha dado con todo a la serie, pero han logrado renovar para una segunda temporada, noes lo que yo realmente esperaba, pero hay cosas loables como algunas actuaciones, el vestuario, ahora no sé todavía qué decir si es buena o mala, pues creo que hay opiniones divididas y yo estoy en el centro, pero si deseo ver la segunda temporada de la que hasta ahora he podido disfrutar el tráiler, aunque ya siendo trasmitida en AMC+ y la que nos deja saber que hubo un cambio en el reparto.

   Hola colegas y buenos días tengan todos los amantes del cine del género de ficción en el espacio de hoy hablaremos de una película que me gustaba mucho cuando era adolescente y creía en las historias de vampiros y todo eso.🕸️ Entre las tantas pelis que vi relacionadas con el tema una de las mejores fue **Entrevista con el Vampiro ** protagonizada por Brad Pitt y Tom Cruise además de contar con actuciones estelares como Antonio Banderas y Christian Slater.

   

   fuente/www.ecured.cu

   La película fue basada en la novela homónima de Anna Rice, una escritora estadounidense que dedicó sus obras a la magia , la fantasía y el terror. La saga original de la entrega literaria cuenta con un total de 7 libros inéditos donde en cada uno de ellos se cuenta a travez de un lenguaje peculiar y oscuro la vida de un vampiro y de como este supuestamente se logra insertar en la sociedad sin ser descubierto y sin causar grandes estragos aunque todos los que alguna vez leimos o estudiamos el tema sabemos que es cosa difícil para estos seres tan malévolos.

   [Ahora vamos con la Sinopsis:]

   

   fuente/www.20minutos.es

   La película comienza con la historia del nacimiento del vampiro Louis quien es interpretado por Brad Pitt , Louis era un joven de sociedad que tenia los defectos y virtudes como todo el mundo de hoy pero en una noche de fiesta después de haberse dado unas copas es atacado por Lestnat otro vampiro con mas experiencia y que merodeaba su cercanía en busca de un nuevo aprendiz. Lestnat quien fue encarnado en Tom Cruise, si ese que hizo Misión Imposible fue mostrándole a Louise lo que era vivir como un vampiro y en su desición estaba seguirlo o andar por su cuenta. Todo se fue complejizando poco a poco y no fueron los enredos en que se metieron ambos hasta terminar en lo que son.

   [Opinión y crítica:]

   Realmente al ser amante de las historias de los vampiros no le vi ningún defecto al filme en cuestión y aunque era un proyecto un poco ambiguo por la época en que se narraron los hechos se pudo disfrutar de igual manera sin ninguna dificultad.

   

   fuente/www.elmundo.es

   Cuando descubrí que Tom Cruise era parte del elenco protagónico quede impactada porque de un intrépido superhéroe a un despiadado villano va mucho espacio entre ambas cosas pero eso no opacó la historia al contrario lo que la hizo más emocionante al ver como Tom se transformaba para reencarnar a otro personaje aun más complejo.

   El personaje de Brad Pitt realmente no me agradó mucho a pesar de que era protagonista como Tom ya que se mostraba poco metido en el proyecto y su guión no fue uno de los mejores. Pero realmente al trabajar en equipo ambos lograron llegar a impactar a los espectadores con sus proyectos individuales de forma tal que la película fuera otro de los clásicos de la ciencia ficción norteamericana del siglo pasado.

   No le presté mucha atención a su banda sonora porque era casi toda música clásica y mezcla por computadora pero a pesar de todo le dio al filme el toque oscuro y diabólico que lo caracterizó e inmortalizo para la eternidad.

   [comentarios finales]

   En fin si son amantes del género ciencia ficción y de las historias de vampiros en particular esta es otra entrega que los hará buscar más información y leer un poco sobre ello pero a parte de esto los mantendrá con los pelos de punta desde su comienzo hasta su final.

   Hello colleagues and good morning to all lovers of fiction genre cinema, in today's space we will talk about a movie that I really liked when I was a teenager and believed in vampire stories and all that.🕸️ Among the many movies that I saw related With the theme, one of the best was Interview with the Vampire starring Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise as well as featuring stellar performances such as Antonio Banderas and Christian Slater.

   

   fuente/www.ecured.cu

   The film was based on the novel of the same name by Anna Rice, an American writer who dedicated her works to magic, fantasy and horror. The original saga of the literary delivery has a total of 7 unpublished books where in each of them the life of a vampire is told through a peculiar and dark language and how he supposedly manages to insert himself into society without being discovered. and without causing great havoc, although all of us who have ever read or studied the subject know that it is difficult for these very malevolent beings.

   [Now let's go with the Synopsis:]

   

   fuente/www.20minutos.es

   The film begins with the story of the birth of the vampire Louis who is played by Brad Pitt, Louis was a young man from society who had the defects and virtues like everyone else today but on a night out after having a few drinks he is attacked by Lestnat, another vampire with more experience and who was prowling nearby in search of a new apprentice. Lestnat who was embodied in Tom Cruise, if the one who made Mission Impossible was showing Louise what it was like to live as a vampire and it was up to her to follow him or go on her own. Everything became more complex little by little and it was not the entanglements that both of them got into until they ended up being what they are.

   [Choice and criticism:]

   Actually, being a lover of vampire stories, I didn't see any flaws in the film in question and although it was a somewhat ambiguous project due to the time in which the events were told, it could be enjoyed in the same way without any difficulty.

   

   fuente/www.elmundo.es

   When I discovered that Tom Cruise was part of the leading cast, I was shocked because from a fearless superhero to a ruthless villain, there is a lot of space between both things, but that did not overshadow the story, on the contrary, which made it more exciting to see how Tom transformed to reincarnate another even more complex character.

   I didn't really like Brad Pitt's character very much even though he was the protagonist like Tom since he showed little involvement in the project and his script was not one of the best. But really by working as a team both managed to impact viewers with their individual projects in such a way that the film was another of the classics of North American science fiction of the last century.

   I didn't pay much attention to its soundtrack because it was almost all classical music and computer mixing, but despite everything it gave the film the dark and diabolical touch that characterized it and immortalized it for eternity.

   [final comments]

   Anyway, if you are lovers of the science fiction genre and vampire stories in particular, this is another installment that will make you look for more information and read a little about it, but apart from this it will keep your hair on end from its beginning to its end.

3. ›CineTV Contest: Tom Cruise in Interview with the Vampire@irenenavarroart1058d

   Entrevista con el Vampiro es una excelente novela escrita por Anne Rice perteneciente a las Crónicas Vampíricas, revolucionó las historias de vampiros, así que su adaptación al cine fue igual de buena al ella escribir el guión, en esta película el personaje que mas resalta es Lestat interpretado por Tom Cruise, este actor supo a la perfección como darle vida aún personaje tan complejo como el vampiro Lestat pues este personaje es narcisista, tiene un sentido de humor cínico, es elegante, arrogante pero a la vez es gracioso, tiene un aspecto muy atractivo que contrasta con su insaciable sed de sangre, en momentos Lestat pareciera tener emociones genuinas y humanas, como la capacidad de sentir amor por Louis a quien transforma en vampiro luego de encontrarlo en un estado depresivo debido a la muerte de su esposa e hijo, aunque esta acción podría verse como un capricho egoísta de Lestat por tener un compañero, este lo hace ver como un regalo o nueva oportunidad que le da a Louis alejándolo del sufrimiento humano.

   
   

   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.

   

   Source

   Este personaje no tiene una psique simple, es tan complejo que incluso el espectador genera sentimientosos de empatía y repulsión por el mismo personaje, debo admitir que Tom Cruise hizo un actuación maravillosa capaz de sobresalir aún cuando la película está narrada desde el punto de vista de Louis que fue interpretado por Brad Pitt, al tener como coprotagonista a un actor tan bueno, ambos hicieron un excelente trabajo, pero el personaje de Louis era emocionalmente más sensible, conservaba aún muchos sufrimientos humanos, se mostraba en un principio como un personaje débil de sentimientos, lo que pone a Lestat como el chico malo de la historia, pero en consecuencia el personaje de Lestat se convierte en el más atractivo y exigente a nivel de actuación.

   
   

   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.

   

   Source

   Esta película fue tan importante que se convirtió en una película clásica para los amantes del género, la participación de Tom Cruise fue excelente, fue un total acierto que hayan escogido al Tom Cruise para el rol de Lestat, si por ejemplo Tom Cruise hubiese interpretado a Louis estoy segura que no habría sido una buena elección, puesto que Cruise conserva ese carisma y genialidad para interpretar personajes llenos de vitalidad, un Vampiro es una personaje no vivo pero Lestat demostraba ser el más vivo de todos, disfrutando a plenitud la vida que tenía, Tom Cruise supo capturar la esencia del personaje y su expresiones faciales al decir frases llenas de sarcasmo, siempre considero que los personajes más malévolos son los más difíciles de interpretar y Tom Cruise lo hizo con la característica elegancia de un Vampiro escrito por Anne Rice.

   
   

   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.

4. ›Interview with the Vampire Review@claudio832447d

   Tratto dal libro di Anna Rice, il film narra la storia dell'intervista tra un giornalista ed un vampiro Louis de Pointe du Lac (Brad Pitt), il quale narra la sua storia di quando era un mortale disperato per la perdita dei propri cari e di come sia stato trasformato da Lestat de Lioncourt (Tom Cruise)

   Source

   ---

   Louis inizialmente non accetta di dover nutrirsi di umani per sopravvivere e combatte fino a quando il suo istinto di sopravvivenza non ha la meglio. Durante la sua vita da vampiro continua ad avere atteggiamenti più simili ad un umano e si legherà particolarmente a Claudia (Kirsten Dunst), una ragazzina che pensava di aver ucciso e per il quale portava rimorso ma trasformata da Lestat in vampiro.

   La storia è molto drammatica più che horror e mostra il lato negativo dell'immortalità, pagata a caro prezzo, combattendo ogni giorno con il rimorso delle vittime, con il destino di rimanere fondamentale soli. Film molto intenso, a volte forse la narrazione è un po' lenta ed ogni tanto ho dovuto sbadigliare.

   Il cast è stellare. Oltre hai già citati Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise e Kirsten Dunst, compare anche Antonio Banderas nel ruolo di un vampiro a capo di una congrega di immortali con i denti a punta. Vi è anche Christian Slater nel ruolo del giornalista chiamato da Louis per confessare la sua vita da dannato.

   Nel 1995 il film ha ricevuto due Nomination agli Oscar come miglior scenografia e migliore colonna sonora, oltre a tanti riconoscimenti a livello mondiale. Intervista con il vampiro è un film che merita di essere visto!

5. ›Interview with the Vampire (film): it's not that great@gooddream2884d

   I recently reviewed a Korean vampire movie called "Thirst" and I figured i would go to the other side of the pond and look at a big vampire film from Hollywood. It's ok. I invite the criticism that is likely headed my way by me having this opinion but i honestly believe that "Interview" has not aged well and in my opinion is an relatively awful movie.

   

   I was a massive fan of Anne Rice novels back in the 90's and was even more thrilled to find out that one of the best ones was being brought to the silver screen circa 1994. I was even more elated when i found out that Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Christian Slater, and Antonio Banderas were in the cast. However it was a massive letdown for me. Go ahead, tell me I am wrong.

   Apparently, even Brad Pitt was disappointed in the script once he found out that Anne Rice (the author of the novels) had decided to write the screenplay herself and kind of made his character, Louis, a bit of a bitch boy.

   

   The movie is entertaining i guess, but this is based almost exclusively on its massive budget of 60 million dollars. I know that doesn't mean much by today's terms where films routinely get budgets exceeding 200 million but trust me, in 1993, this was a really massive amount of money to spend on an untested market.

   The film did make the money back and then a lot more (grossing 240 million globally) but for people like me anyway, that appreciate good movies, it fell flat. I had read all the books when it came out and Pitt's portrayal of Louis was well, weak. Louis was displayed as a weakling throughout the film, and only in certain moments did he show his strength in situations that were far too absurd and convenient such as when he slaughters all the vampires in the French theater.

   I think the only saving grace for this movie was (and I can't believe i am saying this) Tom Cruise's performance as Lestat. Cruise was an unlikely choice for this role (in my mind) but he nailed it for the most part. The only time that i feel as though he showed weakness (which if you are familiar with the books is not something that Lestat does often) was when he is thrust into the modern world and doesn't understand what electric lights are.

   

   For the most part, this movie was a precursor to what would become two decades of increasingly ridiculous vampire films and that being the case, I suppose I am happy that it came first.

   The movie did quite well at the box office but this is perhaps an early example of what I feel is wrong with Hollywood. They got an all star cast and pushed together a script and made a kind of homo-erotic movie about a subject matter that i guess the world was aching for at the time.

   While he got a lot of flack from the press for it, I felt as though Tom Cruise might have actually been one of the only performers in the movie that really deserved praise. He does a really good job as Lestat and if you are not familiar with the novels just consider yourself fortunate that the other books were not also made into massive films.

   

   It would have been embarrassing and almost certainly there is no way that Cruise would have accepted the role regardless of the amount of money he was offered (the story becomes completely absurd.)

   The movie ended up winning some minor awards for art direction but not a single person in the cast was nominated for anything acting oriented, and this is something I can completely identify with. There are some inklings of information out there about the cast, including Pitt, complaining that the script was "cheesy." I agree with this notion.

   Aside from a few moments in the movie, the direction of the film is extremely predictable and boring. Its success has everything to do with the star-power of the cast and really nothing to do with their performance or the story they are displaying.

   6 / 10

   2 points extra were awarded because Cruise is so good in this otherwise boring and monotone film
