My favourite Movie

Hello There.

Since I do not have a single favourite movie, I will tell you about a movie I fell in love with.

"Only Lovers Left Alive" tells the story of two vampire lovers, Adam (Tom Hiddleston) and Eve (Tilda Swinton), trying to survive trhough the modern times, and the misadventures they go through when Eve's little sister, Ava (Mia Wasikowska), decides to pay them a visit.

More than the story, I liked the characters and how they interact with eachother. I loved, speacially, Adam.

He is a 500 years old underground musician vampire, tall and pale, with raven black hair and expressive green eyes. He is romantic (in the old meaning of the word) and he is constantly suffering for the inminent decay of society, while Eva, a pale blonde 3000 years old vampire, is more optimistic about the fate of the world. Since she is quite older than her companion, she has a different perspective about the society and civilization, for she has seen the fall of numerous civilizations, and the rise of new ones where the olders where; it's like she sees history as a cycle.

They kind of represent (to me) the idea of the vampire as sensible, romantic (again, in the old meaning of the word) and self-controlled creatures. While Ava is, in the other hand, a little savage and have poor control (and desire to control) over her predatory instincts towards humans. 

Ava is presented not as a main villain, but as an antagonist, at least from Adam's perspective. I like the way they are in permanent conflict, with themselves and with everything around them.

I don't really have a "favourite" part from the movie... but there is one scene that speaks to me in an emotional level... and it's when [SPOILER] Adam helds a gun against himself, with a single bullet on it (one made from the only material that can kill a vampire, which a I think was some kind of wood).

He kept the gun and the bullet, and he carried it with him... he tried to use it to end his life... but was not brave enough to pull the trigger.

Well, that's it, by now.

See you next time-
