This morning I saw this movie on tv for the first time and it is definitely a GOOD one, one of those which have a twisted ending and you end up with a ‘wtf’ face. Brad Pitt’s acting of a madman is fabulous, I loved Jeffrey. Plus, I LOVE films of stories about insane people at mental asylums.
Hi :) Not an inconvenience, on the contrary, it’s nice to know you took your time to read my post, so thank you. Well, Maharet gives Lestat a scroll sent by Memnoch containing a ‘thank you’ message & his eye. He places it back in and gets his eyesight back, right before he’s locked up in that convent. About his lethargy, that’s from another book, Merrick -or so I’ve heard- so I can’t tell you about it since I haven’t gone further than the 5th book. Sorry :/
Well, being myself an atheist, I consider the Heaven & Hell part interesting but it is too freaking long! That’s why it ended up making the book tiring, boring and repetitive about the religious subject. With a summary of the Heaven part would’ve been enough, and if it were told by Lestat instead of Memnoch it would’ve been much better. I also would’ve wanted Anne had involved Louis/Armand more in the story since they both believe about the salvation of theirs souls.
However, I liked the first third of the story -the chasing of Lestat’s victim, Roger. Lestat’s fear of that constant evil presence haunting him. Not sure about Dora- and I don’t think the ending is bad, a bit surprising in my opinion, and it was a good decision to at least mention other known vampires in the story.
* SPOILER *
I’m glad to know we got Lestat in one piece again. I couldn’t picture him as a one-eyed vampire BUT I’m disappointing about his decision of not drinking blood/hurting a human being again. WTF. And the death of Armand, that was sad, although since I haven’t read the next books, he might be alive (?).
