Interview with the Vampire (1994) dir. Neil Jordan
^Consider this tho: an actor (Stephen Rea) pretending to be a vampire (Santiago) pretending to be an actor pretending to be a vampire [X by ouija—bored]
I wouldn’t call it just “a reboot IWTV,” it’s gonna take some of IWTV, it’s more focused on TVL, there’s apparently a trilogy and maybe a spinoff TV series whew.
YES. Also: ”The function of fiction is being lost in the conversation on violence. My book editor, Sean McDonald, thinks of it as “radical empathy.” Fiction, like any other form of art, is there to consider aspects of the real world in the ways that simple objective views can’t — from the inside. We cannot Other characters when we are seeing the world from the inside of their skulls. This is the great success of Thomas Harris’s Hannibal Lecter, both in print and as so richly embodied by Mads Mikkelsen in the Hannibal television series: For every three scary, strange things we discover about him, there is one thing that we can relate to. The Other is revealed as a damaged or alienated human, and we learn something about the roots of violence and the traps of horror.”
