my favorite movie
My favorite movie I would have to say is Underworld. Underworld is a movie about Vampires & Warewolfs, obviously the movie is a fictional movie and it is based around one female vampire names Seline. Now Seline is a vampire and her whole life she has been hunting down vampires and killing them. Saline made to believe her whole life that warewolfs killed her entire family. She was spared by the eldest vampire, a father figure to Seline, Victor.
A quote from the movie we watched in class said that movies never protay anything they don't want to show. Clearly this movie is not real but our society especially my generation has a fascination with Vampires. In this movie the warewolfs are trying to combine the blood of a vampire with the blood of a werewolf. They are trying to create a whole new race stronger than both supernatural beings. We all know these creatures don't exsist but the whole vampire craze has swept through the younger generation like a plague. People are obsessed with vampire movies, television shows, & games.
It is very easy to be seduced by the notion of being a vampire. In most cases they are immortal, stronger, faster and exciting. They don't eat which im sure appeals to the young girls who want to look like sticks. Also they don't have to abide by rules or laws. Vampires can do whatever they want and also seduce whoever they want by "glimmering" them. This is when a vampire looks into a humans eyes and can make them do or say anything they want just by starting at them. That is something I have always wanted to evmulate. I have always wanted to be able to control people just by looking in the eyes. This aspect of the vampire as always attracted me to the vampire lifestyle. I don't think anyone would want to be able to control someone just by looking in theyre eyes. The fascination with staying young and mind control is what I consider to be the most seductive thing about this role. Iv always wanted to be just like Seline she's strong independent and beautiful. These movies have a way of making you love the supernatural aspect of escaping reality.
I have always wanted to emulate the trait of glimmering people. I feel like that would make life so much easier, instead of having to do anything you can just make people do things for you. Now little does Seline know, Victor the man she looks to as a father is the one that killed her family. She does not find this out until the end of the movie and ends up cutting off Victors head. The part of the movie I would reject is the Vampires and Werewolfs becoming one race. I think that this is creating a different element to the story because it is supposed to be these beings fighting against each other. Victor killed her own daughter for falling in love with a werewolf, he considered it an abomination. This movie is very seductive by the illusion of reality because it shows supernatural beings living lives as if they were people in the real world"

Danielle - yes, this is a very appealing bit of fantasy fiction, and there are many vampire movies out there. Why do you think vampire movies are so popular, generally? Your post needs a good proofreading; work on your spelling and grammar. Also, think more carefully about the unreality of the movie BEYOND its occult subject. Is anyone unfashionably dressed? Does anyone deal with financial problems or car trouble? Think more deeply.
ReplyDeleteI think vampire movies are so popular because people are obsessed with the supernatural. Shows like TureBlood put a fantasy in peoples head. I know I need to work on my spelling & grammar. The movie actually depicts the right fashion trend that you se e in these movies. There are not really any financial problems because the vampires own many company's and hospitals so. They can get their blood without feeding.
