i really want lestat to be with the queen of all vampire!!!

Yeah, this should be interesting to see the results.

"try-again picked Dislike / hate it. What WERE the script writers thinking?!:
i really want lestat to be with the queen of all vampire!!!"

I don't. Akasha and Lestat are fascinating but not meant to be or really a good one. Lestat himself seemed to think so too. He realized his heart was already Akasha's but he kept on silently begging for Marius to help him, to save him from that relationship before it would be too late. So lestat seemed to love Akasha or be fond of her but didn't want to be.

Back to the actual topic - Lestat & Jesse:

Even back when I only knew the film that pairing seemed wrong. Now that I know Lestat by the books too I'm really sorry for the character. Poor kid is made to "be interested" in something so awful as the film version of Jessica is. O__O

Lestat & Jesse Anti-fan / Hate Site, which exxplains pretty much everything I ever though of this pairing:

I do like this movie. Actually, I love it in geenral way - but there are these couple of very, very idiotic relationship things they screwed up so majorly that it ought to be illegal even though movie adaptations of course are allowed and usually do differ from the books.

lol @ bendaimmortal's post. I think Jesse and Lestat's relationship can be summed up in a few words:
"Don't worry Jesse, your kind never satisfies my thirst"
I hated her in this movie. And I read the book first and never really had a reason to dislike her. The movie went all wrong with her.

I know it can be summed in few words. I just don't want to sum anything up in few words! At least not only that. :D I love reasoning.

I like reading your reasoning :)

-___-...Lestat must be alone..it`z make him more ho0t xD

THE MOVIE JESSE IS EF'N UGLY....It COULD'VE BEEN COOL FOR LESTAT TO BE WITH A GIRL....BUT A HOT GIRL WITH SOME ATTITUDE TO MATCH LESTAT'S...LIKE KIRSTEN DUNST, OH WAIT KATE WINSLET...NAKED WITH LESTAT......DELICIOUS!!!! THAT WOULD HAVE ACTUALLY SAVED THE FILM...

I can understand why the writers wrote it in, but as a fan of the books i don't really like it.

I think it distracts the viewer from the love he is ment to have for Akasha. And i think she's just a little too, i duno, feeble maybe for Lestats taste.

I'm staying indifferent on it.

It's total crap but like i said i guess you would like it if you haven't read the book.

I hadn't read the books when i first saw the film and I know a great bunch of people who hadn't either and didn't like that relationship. I'm still saying the only way you'd honestly like that pairing is that youre too immature to realize how ridiculous and illogic that whole thing is and can only see like "OOOOOOH vampire and mortal in love OOOOOH!!!" (which they SO aren't, in this films...) *SIGH* -.-.

giggles at bendaimmortal's comment.

Was that a dig at twilight?

;DD

Well I'll admit I haven't read the book (goonies claimed those who read the book will see something wrong with this), but I honestly think it's the perfect ending. I mean, one main conflict was that Lestat felt lonely. Now, with Jesse, he's not :)
He's finally found a partner/soulmate/friend/loved one....

Oh, thank you! Finally somone of the lovers commented! And I'm probably causing the rest not to do so but believe me it is not what I am aiming at but I just wish to try and open your eyes.

Because my dislike/hate for the pairing has basically VERY LITTLE to do with the books but much more with how ridiculously this pairing's story is done in the film seeing to what it realistically whould've developed to.

So:
How about perfectly illogic ending seeing to the storyline and lack of chemistry, and a major pain in his ass and soul instead of a soulmate. :DDD I'm sorry but honestly dear fangirls - you don't have to read the books to see anything for this matter. ALL you have to do, is look into the emotions and events and dialogs in the film all in all, and not only at the bits youo want to see.

Actually, all you would have to do is read the following with thought - "The Official Vision (The film)" part, I mean. "The Original Script" and "Jesse VS. Marius" would of course take you even deeper into how sensless this pairing is:

i guess if you havnt read the books, you wouldnt understand how Lestat falling in love with Jesse and turning her and living with her then (he never seems to live with his fledging for very long after he makes them, almost like he gets bored or they dont satisfy him) makes him seem like 1 dimentional character. Yes in a film it makes sense, hes lonley, he finds a giel, hes not lonely anymore, but he is so much more complicated than that. it just doesnt work like that inthe books. Theres something else missing in him that a companion of most sorts just dont fill it.Maybe its his daddy issues or because hes a vampire i dont know, but it just doesnt work like that in the books.

I'd say it's basically/mostly his daddy issues (seeing to how he lives and breathes Marius, and says Marius is the one that comforts him in the shadows and that he couldn't even think of leaving Marius) but significantly too the fact he's a vampire. Or maybe his daddy issues and how he seems quite a personality himself; I think it takes a lot to impress him so much that he'd fall in love. A lot as in like Nicolas and Louis... As far as I see those two are remarkable personalities in some dark and deep and beautiful way. Oh and Akasha. Well, I never saw him genuinely in love with Akasha though he clearly was in love for real but not even nearly as genuinely as with Louis and Nicki.

But as I said, I really, really don't think it takes the books in any way to see how ridiculous this pairing in the film is. It doesn't matter WHO the guy and the girl are - their storyline supports hate instead of love nevertheless; no one who'd obsess about someone the way Lestat does about Marius in this film, would do what Lestat does in this ending, especially when the girl in question had said and done all Jesse had, not to mention the ways and tones Lestat had talked to her and looke dat her with. -.-

Don't forget hes in love with David too, and Gretchin, and Dora and Roger a bit too. In interview for a short periode he spent a lot of time with a young musician. He seems to fall in love easily, but as bendaimmortal says it takes quite a personality to make him fall for them. But i believe he truely did love Akasha. Because he loves humanity and has a conscience he couldn't follow what Akasha was doing, but because he loves her he couldn't leave her or stop her, and he prayed to Marius to save him because he didnt have the strength to turn away from her. The only reason he left was because he knew in his heart what she was doing was wrong. but undoubtedly he loved her.

His love for Louis, Nicki, David, Gretchen and Dora, is all different. I think at some point he even admits that he loves Armand, and of course there's Marius who he does love very much.

my point is, none of this affection and love and friendship truely comes through as strongly as it shlould do in the film because of this annoyance called Jesse. It's distracted the view from his love for Akasha, and its his love for her that makes the story more thrilling, because it complicates his situation, he can't simply be the hero and kill the beast, because he loves the beast, he couldnt bare doing it himself, and so he must pray that his friends hear his plees and help me.

Well, yeah, I don't even thinkn "genuinely" was the word I was looking for. 'Cause it's clear he does loveAkasha from the bottom of his black little heart, heck, he even said his heart is already hers, and that marius should save him before it's too late, so obviously he ha dno strength to save himself because he loved Akasha... but I mean, a certain thing is significantly different in comparation to his love for Nicki and Louis, from his love for Akasha. Or anyone else that is. What's the word for it, I don't know.

Gosh, the more I think of this the more I think this film literally offends Lestat's character. the same it does Jesse's. Basically with everything Jesse in this film but also the way the entire picture is: He obviously hates Jesse and obsesses to get Marius back and then out of nowhere in the final scene seems to like Jesse and not even remember Marius = the film Lestat doesn't know what the hell he even wants, might someone think if didn't open their eyes and see it's actually the script writers who mess it up and not lestat. :D The book Lestat sure as hell knew what he wanted and he always got there. I admire that about him. His stanima to reach his dreams and goals and as I've said somewhere before, also the strength and depth of his relationships. ((:

I agree, the film does insult Lestat and Jesse's characters. In the film they've completely changed Jesse so they can make her Lestat's love.

And I think what your trying to say is, Lestat's love for Akasha is mostly and basically passion, because that's all you see in the film and book, his love is a passion, the heat of the moment, and he is completely taken by her.

His love for Nicki, Louis and David, is long lasting and deep, he turns to them for help, for a showlder to cry on. His love for Akasha or his relationship with her atleast could never have lasted the way his love for Nicki, Louis and David has.

Ah, msotly and basically passion. Thank you. That is it.

I loved the movie. I first read the book in 93 or 94 and it was the first VC I'd ever read. All through the book I kept hoping at some point that Jesse and Lestat would meet (and have him possibly turn her) but despite their first meeting being all too brief I never lost the want for something more between them (I know the book wasn't about "them" so to speak but rather the journey of all of them, mostly Akasha, Mekare and Maharet)

I do love the book for many reasons. Most of them being Jesse and Lestat's separate parts of the book, as well as brief Baby Jenks part.

I can't possibly compare them as they are both equally awesome. Not to mention the movie gave me what I wanted (somewhat) years after first reading the book. Look at it this was I consider movie adaptation of novel seperate but equal Alternate Universes. Some things change, but there are also things that stay the same. They may happen differently but the outsome is no less enjoyable (IMO or in my eyes at least).

^ Ah, finally a Lestat/Jesse shipper I can understand to an extent. But still I don't understand how can you really like the film's pairing because it's not even the Jesse and the Lestat from the books, but completely different characters who happen to have their names and something practical in their life, in common. And above all - because the film's storyline and chemistry for them makes absolutely no sense and there is no way to validly reason it to start make sense. At least no one yet has managed to. There is always something in the film to disprove a seeming "spark" or "chance".

I mean, I think I might stand the thought of the film's pairing if they at least would've bothered to make the FIT together and the STORYLINE WORK but they DIDN'T. Barely even seemingly, to those who are actually paying attention to what they see and hear in the film all in all.

I'm a Lestat/Jesse liker, I enjoyed their scenes and I liked how Jesse was connecting with him. I liked the look of them together and I enjoyed that Jesse came from this mysterious group, and she goes on adventure tracking him down. I basically liked everything. I saw the film first and I loved it, then I was in the book shop and I picked up the book, read it and loved it. Yes, there are differences, it made me wonder but I honestly couldn't really care.

I've never understood why there is a certain narrow minded group of fans out there that can't comprehend that fans can like different things. This QOTD film vs the book debate is a perfect example. The overtly serious fanboys/girls I'm talking about are the ones that force questions on fans for simply liking Lestat and Jesse or enjoying the film in general, or trash talk fan's creativity. I've had to deal with a few myself and they take it so seriously I wouldn't be surprised if they'd burst a blood vessel in their heads.

I like the film for what it is and I like the book for what it is, I'm not going to waste my time over analyzing the taboo because honestly, it's pointless.

i read the book after seeing the movie. if you haven't read the book, its one heck of a vampire movie. the fact that he seems so cruel, frightening and arrogant makes you think he's evil. he kills without care; he stupidly announced his true identity. but, then he saves Jesse multiple times and this growing attraction between them increases. in the movie, he always kept you guessing. at the end you weren't sure which side he was on.
when i saw that he turned her i was glad because then maybe, he would be content. if he stayed by akasha's side i would believe he is simply evil and malicious. Jesse's and lestat's connection just seem more authentic.

i think that bendaimmortal needs to stop going on sites that he does'nt like and complain on them

@ blackbubbles:

And when exactly have I done that? Not to mention how you make it sound like I'd been doing it all the time...

I really wanted to see what happened if Akasha lived.. but i suppose it's okay.. I don't like Jesse much.

I love the pairing of lestat and Jesse and I will admit lestat is lonely like that's what you hear In the movie like he's says immorality seems like a good idea then you realise your going to spend it alone and then he says better dead than alone if lestat never liked Jesse he would have no problem killing her he liked her after Jesse says you still have the violin don't you no understand after all it's only human and he fly past her when she leaving the alleyway he watches her leave the way he says clever librarian and look on his face when akasha bewitched him and orders him to kill Jesse he doesn't look happy to me cause your o do it and Jesse knew there was something wrong with him so she let's him drain her and u can tell after he drains her he is enraged ged at watching akasha made him do to Jesse he could of kill Jesse like the other girls he a vampire after all he didn't want to kill Jesse because he liked Jesse even though he rude to her face look at the way he said clever librarian look at the way he nurse her on his lap and stroking her hair when he turning her with his blood look at smile at the end he finally not alone who cares about books I like lestat and Jesse together they r wonderful Jesse looks awesome as a vampire

Oh and the look of his face when she says why not share with me there is nothing wrong with three pairing I've listen to commentary while watching the movie the alleyway he read her mind then when she came to apartment I heard make believe able love story between Jesse and lestat they mentioned that in the books Jesse and lestat don't end up together mentioned the two vampires walking into eternity together also on Jesse reeves Wikipedia it's down a few times that in the film version they both become enamoured with each other in that alleyway lestat was enraged enraged at what akasha made him do to Jesse so don't tell me anything Ive read the books and watch the film loved both and no hate sites r negative comments r put me off its obvious that they like one another lestat did say Marius was right but jesse is the only human he said it to your beautiful to me cause your human your frailty your short years your heart even as u think its breaking all that suddenly seems like precious than anything he's known he doesn't want to turn her r kill her cause her being human is precious to him she's also it took meeting her for him to understand so that says a lot that why lestat gets angry at her when she cuts herself he letting her know u don't want this that's why he shows her the horror part that she will have to kill people he's been protecting her then her face when he kill that woman lestat says of course you don't he letting her I would give anything to be human
