Director: Jim Jarmusch
Hey kids... you wanna know a great movie about vampires, weird but strangely appealing music, and Tom Hiddleston once again playing a total emo I can't help but fall in love with even though I don't even like guys (plus Tilda Swindon is an absolute babe and I would Die for her)? Only Lovers Left Alive was thoroughly appealing in all of these categories.
It opened on one weird as hell into and if I'm honest, it didn't loop me in then; but looking back, it was a really cool choice and if I watched it again I think I would like it a lot more. Similarly, all the music kind of threw me off at first, but going back, it totally fits the aura of the movie and I wouldn't mind hearing it again.
So, as a person, I admire vampires. I think they're cool and I honestly wouldn't mind the lifestyle vampirism praises: you know, staying up all night, never going out in the sun, staying away from silver and feasting on human blood, that sort of thing- hey look at that, I'm halfway there already! Anyways, this movie is a total dive of life for two vampires and a couple others as well and it tells a story about how these immortals would choose to live if they were alive now. It's a gorgeous film and character heavy, which is absolutely My Shit. I love character development, especially when it involves Tom Hiddleston in any way. The way the two main characters were portrayed was stunning and I was attached to them both instantly. I also adored seeing Anton on screen again, my absolute son. God I miss that boy. And the way they made me hate the sister was very well done. That woman was so annoying. Poor Anton.
So yeah, Only Lovers Left Alive was totally worth the watch and I loved all the colours and the script was amazing and all that. Definitely recommend.
