Criminal adulteration of a great tale
16 September 2023
A criminal adulteration of Anne Rice's original tale of 'Interview with the vampire', which I loved very much. This new adaptation takes the name and trashes the tale to achieve complete compliance with the rules of todays ruling social justice aristocracy. Reset in a much later time period, Louis the slave plantation owner is recast as a black brothel owner (no, really) and is now firmly gay rather than being an asexual vampire. One has to wonder why even bother taking the name of 'interview with the vampire'? If you intend telling a different story with different characters, wouldn't it make more sense to simply produce something original? The same people that parrot the virtues of social justice and decry the sin of cultural appropriation seem blind to their hypocrisy when appropriating and cannibalising stories such as this.
