I'm a huge fan of dark period films. It makes you see a world that is too GLOOMY & LONESOME.
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein
“Do you share my Madness?”
This film actually tells us, that it’s not one’s physical appearance that makes him evil, but with how cruel people treat another that they make someone a monster.
"I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe.”
Mary Reilly
This is another beautiful dark period film. I had a crush on John Malkovich.
“Is Evil Stronger than Good”
I love how this film shows how one's sadness can bring out either the better or darker side of men.
The depressing atmosphere, the filthy market & brothel.
And even the seemingly lush mansion of Dr. Jekyll is filled with emptiness.
"I wanted the night you see.. And here it is.."
From Hell
Almost all of us are fans of Johnny Depp. I’ve watched almost all of his movies.
Brilliant acting from “The Libertine”.
Powerful scene don't you think?
But the film I loved most from Depp is “From Hell”. I can watch this over & over again.
“I shall tell you where we are. We’re in the darkest region of the human brain, a radiant abyss where men go to find themselves.”
My favorite scene would probably be the kiss.
Its a very dark film, you can barely hear anyone talking inside the movie house.
I was with my friend & sis, but I felt I was all alone in the movie house. It was just me & the film.
That kiss was a relief from all the tension we were feeling from the movie.
Interview with the vampireThis is the best vampire movie for me (although 'The Lost Boys" was really good - a remembrance from childhood).
Don’t you just wish to be in their shoes? Perfectly beautiful, mysterious, Immortal, & stands out without even trying. Yet despite all these, the truth of the matter is they are monsters & should not be adored.
“Evil is a point of view. God kills indiscriminately, and so shall we.
For no creatures under God are as we are; none so like him as ourselves.”“I have never seen a vision, nor learned a secret, that would damn or save my soul.”
“No one could resist me, not even you.”
I love the opening theme from "Interview with the Vampire", Elliot Goldenthal's 'Libera Me'; 'Libera Me, Domine, de morte aeterna'..
Here's the English translation:
“Deliver me, O Lord, from eternal death
on that awful day
when the heavens and earth shall be shaken
and you shall come to judge the world by fire.
I am seized with fear and trembling
until the trial is at hand and the wrath to come:
when the heavens and earth shall be shaken.”
Another Favorite movie theme is from "Bram Stoker's Dracula", Annie Lennox's 'Love song for A Vampire". Although I terribly love the book, this movie I HATE so much!
“Oh loneliness, oh hopelessness
To search the ends of time
For there is in all the world
No greater love than mine.”
“Let me be the only one
To keep you from the cold
Now the floor of Hell is lain
With stars of brightest gold
They shine for you
They burn for all to see
Come into these arms again
And set this spirit free”
