And I understood that in her own way Akasha was a monster. I was a monster as well. I had no intention of creating a devotion for her. She was a secret. And from the moment she came into my hands she and her consort were most truly
Yes, yes!! They worked so well together and off each other.
I can’t imagine Adam being played by Fassbender, it would’ve been such a different film. So glad he dropped out and Tom got the nod (even though I love me some Fassy).
Um, totally. Different a lot. Fassy doesn’t have Tom’s vulnerability. Tom had a kind of almost child-like innocence in this film, that I just can’t see Fassy pulling off.
Yes, right, totally agree about the vulnerability. And also a propensity to aesthetic and scientific inquiry and sensitivity — Fassy could/can do it, but it doesn’t seem quite so innate to him, as I think it is for Tom. Changes that character and the film immensely. Adam, that suicidally romantic scoundrel.
I am alone, I was thinking. I am alone. It seemed just, perfectly, and so to have a pleasing, inevitable form. And I pictured myself then forever alone, as if on gaining that vampire strength the night of my death I had left Lestat and never looked back from him and anyone else. As if the night had said to me, ‘You are the night and the night alone understands you and enfolds you in its arms.’ One with the shadows. Without nightmare. An inexplicable peace.
