"Life has no meaning anymore...does it?
The wine has no taste.
The food sickens you.
There seems no reason for any of it...
does there?
What if I could give it back to you?
Pluck out the pain...
and give you another life?
One you could never imagine.
And it would be...for all time.
And sickness
and death
could never touch you again.
Don't be afraid.
I'm going to give you the choice
I never had."
借LESTAT的台词用一下.
某种意义上来说,吸血鬼的繁衍就好象传销者发展下线,而小莱这番话无疑是最有代表性的推销方式:永远的青春,永远的美貌,永远的爱情.
然而,假如"永远"是谎言呢?
<千年血后>的故事很简单,千年之前的古埃及女王变成了永生的吸血妖,永生却寂寞.她以自己的美貌和永远的生命为诱饵,换得凡人应允成为她的爱侣.然而,她所能给的也只有二三百年青春,期限一到,则凡人的身体衰老腐朽,而灵魂却不能长眠.只能像库比斯的西比尔那样,寄居在腐朽的驱壳里,活到永远.而女王会迅速忘掉衰老的旧爱另结新欢.最后,某个一时动摇,最后死也不愿变成吸血鬼的凡人挫伤了女王,而其他腐尸一起从坟地爬起来,将女王拖进地狱.
单看情节,充其量也就是个艳情片+恐怖片,又是八十年代初的电影,化妆造型老旧得可怕.虽有华丽摇滚鼻祖David Bowie客串,就现在的眼光来看,那样的人才也并不算特别出挑.
然而,影片巧妙地利用了时空交错,外加用"迅速衰老"做题点.不由人不想到"红粉皆骷髅","一切美好终会消失",强迫人面对最不想面对的现实,看到胃里抽搐.
总的来说还不错啦.
