Beautiful yet scary tale about life on the other side

Rating: 8/10 (17 June 2000)

This film is in my opinion Tom Cruise's and Brad Pitt's second best perfomance on the screen. Cruise's best is "Jerry Maguire" and Pitt's best is of course "Fight Club". This movie is about Louis(Pitt) who is a mortal plantation owner who has lost his wife, and therefore his will to live. This is when he meets Lestat(Cruise) who is a vampire that offers him an alternative life(This actually resembles of Pitt's latest film "Fight Club"). Louis accepts and becomes a creature of the night.
Time passes on as Louis starts to regret, he won't feed of mortals as Lestat teaches him the ways of being a superior race. Living in the night, sleeping at daytime makes Louis want to end it all but he can't. In rage and bewilderness Louis feeds off a mortal. A little girl. Lestat witnesses this and applauds him. Believing the girl is dead Louis goes away. Only to return and see Lestat turns the girl into a vampire. This is for Louis' part, to have a friend in the dark.
Claudia, the girl, also starts to regret. Because she will never grow into a woman or die. The same goes for Louis. They grow tired of Lestat and desides to kill him, if possible. They succeed. Or do they? See the movie.
After they supposebly has killed Lestat they travel to the old world. This is a journey of expierence and sorrow. That will change their lives forever...
See this movie. It's a great tale of life, love and hate.
