The life course of Louie the Vampire, the character comparison of Louie the Vampire

Compare ** and Louie in the movie "Interview with the Vampire".

Disclaimer: This section is based solely on the background of Interview with the Vampire** and the film.

In the movie "Interview with the Vampire", the vampire Louie is played by American movie star Brad Pitt.

Louie's image and experience in ** and the film are still different. In terms of image, Louie in ** is green-eyed and black-haired, regardless of whether he is a human or a vampire; In the movie, Louie had blue eyes when he was a human, and his eyes turned green after he became a vampire, and his hair was always straight brown. In terms of experience, Louie in ** was in pain because of the death of his brother Paul, while Louis in the movie was bent on dying because of the pain of losing his wife and children.

Although the setting of the latter is easier to understand and accept by the audience, in addition to grief and despair, the characters have less remorse, guilt, guilt, and less religious factors (which is actually important for Louie's later emotional development), so the emotional foreshadowing for Louis to become a vampire in the later period is a little thin and not convincing enough.

In addition to the two points mentioned above, there are other differences, some of which have been slightly mentioned before, and those that have not been mentioned will not be repeated here.

One last word. Some viewers who have watched the movie will be dissatisfied with the character of Louie: it was Louie himself who agreed to become a vampire in the first place, and then why did he complain about Lester?

Some viewers will say: Louie is not like a vampire, he is too obsessed with humanity and becomes desperate, so why did he become a vampire in the first place? It's true from the movie, but it's different if you look at it from the **.

1. Louie in ** is indeed complaining about Lester, but not about Lester turning himself into a vampire. As mentioned earlier, Louie regarded becoming a vampire as "the most glorious experience", which showed that it did not cause him pain, so there was no need to complain to Lyist. His grievances against Leicester are:

One is that Lester does not know how to respect life, appreciate the beauty of the world, and regard everything as revenge. Coupled with the difference in their personalities and Leice's attitude towards Louie, Louis was even more dissatisfied with Lester; The second is that Lester always uses the excuse that "there are still many things that have not been taught to you", but he does not say anything.

2. Louie's despair is not just a contradiction between "human nature" and "vampire nature". This despair also comes from two things: on the one hand, Louis has been searching for vampires, the meaning of their existence, and their own belonging (God or the devil), but he has never been able to find the answer.

As a vampire, he is both destined to be ostracized by human society and unable to find his faith in vampire society, forever hovering in a marginal, unrecognized, and self-denying position. On the other hand, due to the loneliness of Eternal Life, Louie wishes to have more communication with Lester, who is the only vampire he knows. But for various reasons, there was always a barrier between the two, which made Louis gradually unbearable, and the idea of leaving was born, so Lester created Claudia at this time.
