The second season of "Interview with the Vampire" was launched today, which is considered the most controversial American drama of the month.
After all, the 1994 version of "Interview with the Vampire" is too classic, the two male protagonists are Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise, and the female protagonist is played by Hollywood goddess Kirstin Dunst.
Zhuyu is in front, and the starring role in the drama version naturally can't avoid a comparison.
But due to casting problems, the show was ridiculed by the group as soon as it was launched, and it is still a familiar "political correctness" accusation.
Because two of the three protagonists are played by black actors.
As a result, what many viewers didn't expect was that this drama was complained abroad about "ruining the original work, and politics is too correct".
However, the reputation in China is very good, and netizens called "the male protagonist is full of sexual tension"...
At present, the Douban score in the first season is as high as 8.5, while IMDb only has a score of 7.2.
Not only has the setting of the protagonist group changed, but the drama version has also pushed the timeline back by about two hundred years.
In the original, Louis was a plantation owner in the late 18th century, when New Orleans was still an American colony, and it was obviously unrealistic to have a black man play a rich farmer.
So the drama version is set in 1910, and Louis is a wealthy businessman.
He makes money by running casinos, brothels, and other gray industrial chains...
Of course, the introduction of racial issues in this play is not simply politically correct.
This setting allows the plot to explore race, power, and identity while also touching on broader social issues such as prejudice, xenophobia, and the multifaceted nature of human nature.
As a black vampire, Louie experiences the deepest loneliness and exclusion of humanity on the margins of society, and although he is rich, he also suffers from racial discrimination.
Compared with the master-apprentice relationship between Louis and Lester in the film version, the relationship between the two in the drama version is more complex and delicate.
They are not only lovers of each other, but also partners of mutual redemption.
In the play, Lester is not only a turning point in Louis's life, but also the heart of his emotional world...
The domestic rating is so high, to a large extent, it is the CP sense between the male protagonists of this play.
The "sexual tension" between the two has been recognized by many audiences...
At present, the second season of "Night Interview with Vampire" has begun to be updated, and fans who are interested in this genre can download and watch it!
