The vampires in Vampire Hunter D were of the stereotypical type, ones that were evil and old royalty, even in the modern setting in the movie. I did like the fact that they included dhampirs in the movie; because that shows that the author knew something. The story in Vampire Hunter D was very simple. A damsel in distress gets kidnapped, a quiet stranger agrees to help her, they develop feelings, and the stranger, who becomes the hero, saves the damsel from the villain. This sounds like a plot in an “old west” film. The transitions in the movie sucked, and were very jumpy. I didn’t like that aspect at all; in fact, it was the thing I hated the most. The setting was pretty cool, it seemed like in the 90’s the popular thing was old western-type setting with technological advances like lasers and robots. D had a robot horse and I was surprised because I saw the heroine use whip. I thought the film would be old technology, but it had crazy stuff like kids with lasers. The only things I can compare this to are the Twilight Saga, the Underworld Saga, and Count Dracula from Sesame Street. Every film has different takes on vampires, so it’s up to oneself to believe what they want. Vampires eating hotdogs in NYC is very believable after seeing Underworld.
Its interesting that you compare vampires to gods because in Vampire Hunter D and in other films like twilight, the majority of the vampires view themselves as something similar to gods or at least far greater in all aspects compared to humans. You see to be looking at the concept of vampires in the same way that they view them self’s makes me wonder if you and Betty White are actually vampires…just kidding. I really do like your picture of Betty white though. After reading your blog I thought about how in fact vampires are in very relight on Humans. With out us they would die off.
ReplyDeleteCome on, man. Seriously? Vampires would never eat hot dogs. The only reason humans eat hot dogs is because we need their nutrition. Maybe there is a hot dog stand in New York that sells human blood dogs or uses blood as a condiment or something, but i doubt it. Even if vampires ate food, why would they eat hot dogs? I'd wager that vampires eat pretty classy stuff. I mean, they have an eternity to get ahead in life. If they really wanted to, they could even eat the flesh of the humans they feed on. At least they would know what kind of meat they are eating.
