Hello everyone, I'm Zhang Tsui
Speaking of vampires, what are the first adjectives that come to mind?
According to today's large number of vampire film and television works.
Under normal circumstances, most of the first thing we think of is nobility.
"Night Interview with vampires"
They all seem to have sexy and beautiful appearances, using a deadly and dangerous temperament to toy with humans between the palms of their hands.
"True Love Is Like Blood"
But today, I want to break your stereotype of vampires.
To introduce you to some of the most grounded blood-sucking "kneeling" people in history.
what we do in the shadows
Vampire life
The Douban score of this film is 7.8, and the reputation is better than most horror movies and comedies.
You won't see dog blood triangles or thrilling hunting scenes in the film.
On the contrary, you will find that the way this film is told is very serious.
After all, this is a "documentary" (serious face).
No one knows how viago was translated as "Viagra"...
The first person to come to the camera was viago, 379, who was the most cute and cute little pot friend on the team.
He would lay out towels and newspapers before eating, doing his best to protect the carpets and sofas in the house.
And maybe the rent is too high, or maybe the years are long and lonely, viago also has three roommates living together.
The first is the still young Deacon.
Deacon style is rebellious, just like the troublesome children in the family, even if it is the division of labor to brush the dishes, it will lose its temper.
This was followed by the violent and bloodthirsty Vladislav, 862 years old.
He has a skill that can transform into other animals, but as his mana weakens every year, this skill has a fatal bug:
He can only conjure up the body of an animal, but he cannot conjure up the face of an animal.
This caused all the animals he had transformed to be weird and ugly.
The last one is Peter, the 8,000-year-old ancestor, who spends his days recuperating in a sarcophagus in the basement because of his age.
It is such a strange family, through the lens of the pseudo-documentary to spit on each other, each complaining about the bitter water, plus interviews and photographers to follow.
Let the originally illusory characters tell the story in front of the camera.
It gave the editor a strong sense of "a group of vampire neighbors living next door".
In this regard, some netizens said:
And this sense of reality is not only manifested in the shooting method, but also from the "grounding" of the plot.
The protagonist of the movie is no longer a towering indifferent male god, but a few funny and cute "old children" who have the same troubles as humans.
They also have plates that can't be washed.
They also knit scarves for those they like.
When they go out to party, they also choose the cheapest and most convenient way to go – the bus.
Who says that every vampire has a fortune?
Stand up and I promise not to kill you.
In addition to these trivial matters of life, as vampires, they also face various special troubles.
For example, they can't eat any solid foods.
Even if you just eat a french fries, the consequences are very tragic.
For example, they can't see themselves in the mirror, so they have to paint each other's portraits before going out.
This level of "soul painter" will inevitably lead to major errors in aesthetics.
That is, the clothes they carefully select for each other, are like this:
Or something like this:
With this vintage-level clothing, it's no wonder you can't hook up with girls
Scared to death by you
But it is precisely because they are immortal "antiques" that they have endless experiences and stories.
Viago fell in love with a New Zealand girl many years ago and asked the servant to put himself in a coffin and mail it to New Zealand.
However, the careless servant misapplied the postage on the coffin, resulting in the entire journey taking 18 months, and the sweetheart was already married.
Speaking of this, Viago carefully showed everyone the commemorative necklace that the girl gave him that year.
As we all know, vampires cannot wear silver jewelry.
Seeing the infatuated viago appear at the door of the nursing home where the sweetheart lives in the middle of the night, I believe that everyone will be touched by it.
Of course, not every vampire is a lover.
Like our rebellious little friend Deacon, who was born long ago in the Nazi vampire army during World War II.
In order to escape the post-war trial, he fled all the way to New Zealand.
His greatest hobby is dancing the most bizarre dance.
Just look at it, children don't imitate.
As for Vladislav, although he was once the overlord of the mighty side.
But now he is addicted to selfies like a child.
Of course, style is destined to be abnormal.
Seriously, the vampire series of movies is almost hundreds of years old.
The earliest descriptions were basically representatives of cursed evil in religion.
But in the 21st century, vampire-style stories have evolved into youth idols, and the plot has begun to rot.
Audiences with sharp tastes will naturally feel aesthetic fatigue, and the forbidden love that once swept the world has lost its former charm.
But this "Vampire Life" takes a very different perspective.
Unpretentiously explain to everyone the chicken and garlic skin of the vampire's daily life.
The low-cost production of this film does not make people feel inferior at all, but adds a touch of creativity and realism.
When they are confronted by the camera, everyone can deeply appreciate that they have the same twittering troubles as we do.
Therefore, the hardships of life cannot be escaped
Even if you're a vampire, you're not immune
That being the case, there is no need to complain about the world
I believe that tomorrow you will be more lucky.
