Interview with a vampire

The interview with a vampire I feel like falls along the lines of the traditional, now modern, vampire scene. Vampires are not Transylvanian and scour the night for blood but rather romanticize the living dead. Movies today, even movies such as Twilight, are vampire romances that really took vampires a different direction than zombies. It seems zombies got scarier while vampires got romancier, and you will never see a zombie to zombie romance. Through the interview itself you are able to see the through the vampire's eyes. Even at the age of five she never really has a chance to live life. I kept thinking back to the hit TV series "Dexter" and how the boy must grow up in a world learning to fake emotion to get by. In a similar tone vampires grow up not knowing how to love. I watched "Thirst" first and thought about how this movie juxtaposed vampires thirst for love and blood being one and how you cant have one without the other trying to dominate. Vampires do not just thirst for blood but for many things such as information, acceptance, love and inner-peace which they cannot have.
