ENT3RTAIN ME REVIEWS ... ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE (2014) ... TOM HIDDLESTON Is a Vampire Rock God!!!

 

  After watching this movie you'll be extremely satisfied with your viewing experience. Only Lovers Left Alive is an intelligent drama, love story and horror, though one should not get hung up by the horror aspectas that is not the basis of the entirety of the movie. The movie focuses more on a modern day vampire living situation and the experiences they have living with humans as well as their own needs in the 21st century.   The story centres around Adam, played brilliantly

by Tom Hiddleston, who by rights is a brilliant musician and reclusive rockstar. He is also a romantic and like so many brilliant rockers has a depressive side to him, the kind that make rock legends. Adam is married to Eve, Tilda Swinton, though the 2 live on separate sides of the world.   Due to all the blood related diseases, their source of sustenance needs to be from reputable sources as the vampires here steer clear of attacking humans and rather obtain their blood from other sources, doctors and hospitals.   The movie if anything shows us a different world to all the other vampire movies we've become accustomed to over. This one is truly one of emotion, words and truly wonderful acting from the entire cast. I would really recommend this to the more mature audiences and those looking for something a little more intelligent in their movie choices. There's no teen angst and werewolves and such, just a down to earth good old love story ... the couple just happen to be a little different to the usual.   The movie is written and directed by Jim Jarmusch and also stars Jeffrey Wright, Mia Wasikowska and John Hurt.  

  ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE PLOT After living for centuries and influencing the careers of countless famous musicians and scientists, vampire Adam has become a reclusive musician. He spends his days recording albums on outdated studio equipment and lamenting the state of the modern world while he sulks in a dilapidated house in a deserted Detroit neighborhood. He has become convinced that humanity is doomed and continually refers to humans as "zombies".

Adam survives on blood-bank donations regularly supplied by Dr. Watson, who is happy to take Adam's money and not ask any questions. Having acquired substantial amounts of scientific knowledge over the years, the vampire has managed to build contraptions to power both his home and vintage sports car with technology originally pioneered by Nikola Tesla. Despite his reclusive nature, he is immensely wealthy and remains a popular musician. His many fans endlessly speculate about his whereabouts and real identity. Adam is horrified when a few of them turn up on his doorstep one night having figured out his address. He ignores them and they go away.

The vampire also pays Ian, a naive human "rock and roll kid", to bring him various vintage guitars and recording equipment. One night, Adam asks him to track down a wooden bullet for, as he puts it, "a project". Ian fulfills this request and Adam loads it into a small pistol. He contemplates suicide but a video phone call from his wife, Eve, convinces him not to go through with his plans.

Eve has spent the past several years living in Tangier where she purchases her blood supply from another vampire, Christopher Marlowe. Fearing for Adam's life, she flies to Detroit. The lovers unite and are content enjoying each other's company, eating blood popsicles, playing chess, dancing to music at home, and driving around the city at night. Then, a short time later, Eve's younger sister, Ava, arrives from Los Angeles and shatters the couple's idyllic seclusion. After a night out at a local club, Ava kills Ian by drinking all of his blood, and she is kicked out of the house by Adam.

Adam and Eve dispose of Ian's corpse in an abandoned factory. Ian's murder, in addition to a growing number of Adam's fans continually trekking out to the house, forces the couple to hastily return to Tangier. Experiencing blood-withdrawal, they discover that their long-time friend and mentor Marlowe has fallen ill due to a bad batch of blood. After revealing that he secretly penned most of Shakespeare's plays, he dies. Running low on finances and with no blood supply to curb their cravings, the couple spot a pair of young lovers kissing. "What choice do we have?" Adam remarks before the two of them approach the couple with their fangs out.   ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE TRAILER
