`I cannot make her happy, I do not make
her happy; and her unhappiness increases every day.’ This was my
chant, which I repeated like a rosary, a charm to change the facts, her
inevitable disillusionment with our quest, which left us in this limbo
where I felt her drawing away from me, dwarfing me with her
enormous need.
– Louis de Pointe du Lac, Interview with the Vampire
I’m not sure if you’re referring to Antonio!Armand specifically but u probably are, and I know, I know… he is the fandom’s punching bag, I KNOW.
But consider perusing my #defending Antonio tag, where you will find my theories as to why they cast smne who isn’t remotely trying to be physically similar to the character described in the book (except for his wardrobe maybe?). His acting was still very true to the character so give him some credit for that. Very seductive of Louis. But yeah, Denis (played by
Louis Xavier Lewis-Smith) looks more like Armand should have looked:
The biggest reason for Antonio!Armand being that I think AR merged Santino and Armand for that movie bc of reasons. So treat him like Santino and that should lessen the pain *hugs*
i’m more talking about louis (havent encountered armand yet lol). louis’s acting is perfect but like appearance and voice wise he’s just not what i pictured in my head at all. im kinda iffy on lestat too, although he’s growing on me as the movie goes on.
“Louis de Pointe du Lac… slender, slightly less tall than Lestat, his maker, black of hair, gaunt and white of skin, with amazingly long and delicate fingers, and feet that don’t make a sound. Louis, whose green eyes are soulful, the very mirror of patient misery, soft-voiced, very human, weak, having lived only two hundred years, unable to read minds or levitate, or to spellbind others except inadvertently, which can be hilarious, an immortal with whom mortals fall in love”
A bit late today but sqeakin’ in my #vampire #drawlloween entry. This was a pretty easy one to choose, as Anne Rice’s #VampireChronicles were my first real introduction to vampire literature and despite everyone being super dramatic and selfish, I kinda really liked the over-the-top-ness of all the characters. “Vampire Lestat” was prolly my favourite, followed by “Interview with the Vampire”, so here’s Louis and Lestat having a long chat about doing things #traditionalart #inktober #annerice #lestatdelioncourt #louispointedulac
