Ghosts and people, about "Interview with the Vampire"

By Karen - 06 August 2021

In the end, it was Louis who really penetrated the truth. When he looked at the news reporter who asked for relief with that kind of disappointment, and finally left, I felt that the so-called people who play with words and play with other people's lives are just fools. The most solid desire in the human heart is endless satisfaction-you can get it when you want it. Just like the gorgeous Lestat living in his life, he regards the desire to be angry at any time as an opportunity to show his talents and seek pleasure; he is fully immersed in constant desire and satisfaction. This is a typical vampire-with limbs and mind. , Very smart, is it right to say unpredictable things about life? Those words are pessimistic, negative, cruel, and every word, justifying their bloodthirsty spirit. After all, they are ghosts, a group of unresolved humanity, without souls. Are you living in the bustling city, or are you lingering?


When Claudia felt the sorrow of the vampire, it was just that another desire in her heart could not be satisfied. Desire, all tragedies arise because of it. For Claudia and Louis, any sobriety is not fortunate. Escape from the numbness, stand on the edge of the numbness, and watch the rest of the same kind continue in the numbness. However, they are still ghosts, and in this twisted ghost world, they can only mourn and sorrow endlessly! But at this moment, Louis couldn't wake up any of his companions at all. Loneliness is doomed, not understood is doomed.


So he looked at the modern man who was happy enough and left sadly. A person who already has the right to live as a human being, who is willing to step into the abyss that cannot be restored for greater enjoyment, how can he not be disappointed!


Modern people are metaphorized as vampires, or the bloody nature of ghosts, and they really fall on people. Or, many people are not only ghosts, but sadly puppets and marionettes of ghosts. Just like Lestat said about Claudia, "a doll, a little daughter to be spoiled by her side", until she really grows up inside and starts to resist. What is the exchange of every day like a machine? This is just a kind of consumption. The modern man who wants to become a vampire may also be eternal. Sarah, the heroine in the musical "Dance of Vampires," wants exactly this. Such greed may be satisfied if they think it is easy. But what is eternal? Happiness, wealth, crying, and love are not; only nothingness can stretch to any corner of time. This is embodied in vampires.


As a person, what else can we pursue? Too many pursuits are just repeating every move, every moment, and every thought of oneself. Too many pursuits make us a kind of machine, constantly filling the emptiness, filling, filling, endless.


But stay alive. We should live, in order to survive, and live well. There is blood, flesh, and soul, creating all the emotions that make companions want to cherish that moment. We shouldn't be so busy in a emptiness for ourselves. Since we stand in the sunshine so freely and without fear, what should we not be grateful for and cherish?


"Interview with the Vampire" is with a complex emotion, trying to use a kind hand to persuade those humans who are immersed in the night dream and push them back to the bright nature.
