I can’t believe it. This vampire movie, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, runs its third installment. It’s just because of a same old question: Bite her or not bite her? Kid’s money is easy money.
When compare with a HK classic or Interview with a vampire, this story is simpler.
The book, Interview with the Vampire, is written by Anne Rice. She is a Christian and her interview was interesting. She doesn’t think there is anything wrong with writing a book about vampire.
The Hong Kong classic, my date with a vampire, is far more complicated. The vampire is not allowed to bite the girl with a dragon because originally she is a vampire killer and a ghostbuster. The bite would make her a super vampire and can’t be controlled. A dragon served her family for decades to destroy evil.
Dragon in the bible is evil and it represents satan but in Chinese it is a lucky mascot. Here we can see the difference between bible and culture. Some Christians might follow bible straightly and dismiss cultural symbols. But, when we read a book or watch a movie, cultural symbols are secondary. Of course, we pursuit happiness in cultural products. But, if you read them with heart, you would make out what is right and what is wrong.
Therefore, don’t be too rigid.
