This scene shows how much research and thought Sam Reid put into portraying the essence of Anne Rice’s Lestat character. She wrote how Lestat would break into maniacal laughter at the most inappropriate times and other vampires hated it. Also we can see his mind working, he realises the consequences of what he is saying and the instant regret upon this realisation. We should be applauding Sam Reid’s acting masterclass of many scenes in this series. I am watching this series in absolute awe of his talent.
By that time, Sam had reread most, if not all the books, while Jacob only read the first two. He actually talks about how amazing it was to have Sam there to talk about Anne Rice's writing and all these vampires, or so he said in an interview once. And Sam said that him laughing in his scene is basically Lestat's brain short-circuiting because Louis is trying to tell him that he loves him, and we all know that processing strong emotion properly really isn't Lestat's strong suit.
@@cannonbulldogsactually they all play their parts amazingly, even supporting role like tom anderson character is played really well. Not just sam but also jacob, bailey, eric, assad and other supporting actors really did a great job, also the chemistry between the characters are amazing, a show would be amazing if the chemistry is as amazing as their individual performances and all the cast have that
As MESSY as this scene is I really like the way Sam delivers the line "There. I said it." so quietly and intimately and then the kiss after. Also Louis' little nod after Lestat's nth "Of course" is incredible, he's like "Ok bet". Jacob nailed that.
It’s like it never dawned on Lestat that Louis would also want to step out on him. This scene will always be hilarious when the realization strikes Lestat.
Lestat = no of course your not, your mine. I need love, I need you to come back to Lestat = of course, so you won’t get bored and you know you have to come back to me Lestat = shut up mind, stop saying of course!
@@brandyw.7943 it’s interesting. The main issue in their relationship is also what makes them so enthralling as a couple. We would all secretly love a beautiful, wealthy, dangerous man like Lestat to be hopelessly in love and obsessed with us but the reality of living under that would be miserable.
The way Lestat laughed at Louis for actually expressing something he is deeply insecure about...a lot of people hop right over that moment like it that couldn't have wrecked Louis internally. And then Lestat made fun of him not eating humans. Lestat is SO toxic.
@fizzychizzy I can never understand this laugh, the best I can figure is that once again he is making light of a very real concern that Louis have, that he would not be enough to keep Lestat interested, while Lestat is thinking in terms of the eternity they have to spend together and that they would need different things to keep the relationship fresh, but laughing at that moment was very telling, that he doesn’t fully see Louis. Had I been Louis , I would have been pissed and hurt. And I’m glad that the whole thing came back to bite Lestat in the ass. 😂
@@melsaint8616 okay a little book spoiler after Lestat became a vampire he lost control over his impulses, so he laughs out loudly like that. It's explained in the the vampire Lestat also Sam was asked this question and he said this.
@Mel Saint I interpret it as him just being so incredulous/overjoyed at Louis' insecurities. I think Lestat just finds it adorable, but him being completely inconsiderate and insensitive, doesn't understand how insulting laughing is in that moment 🤔
Lestat is promiscuous and hedonistic, it is known. But when Louis enters his life, he has prepared a life for the two of them, in a vampiric way. The house has been carefully decorated to be a cozy and romantic vampire home. The problem is that Louis does not accept his reality, he does not let go of humans. Louis feels, deep down, guilty for being a vampire and what's more, being married to a white man, which is why he doesn't see Lestat as family and feeds on animals, offending his husband. Lestat, in turn, out of hurt, releases his promiscuous side to hurt Louis back. But his dream is to live for eternity with Louis, his prince, being loved by him and sucking human blood, naturally. A peaceful life for a couple of predators.
I mean… Lestat RARELY does anything that's not over the top. His seven-year itch was no different. Though I'm surprised (not) how surprised he is when it backfires on him.
😏Lestat got the nerve to give that long speech about variety etc., then he flips out when Louis hooks up with someone else 1 time. - Hush cheater! (Oh, and It is the same, and other people like variety too!)
Can anyone who know the character of Lestat from the Anne Rice books explain why Lestat would burst into laughter at Louis' question, "Aren't I enough?" I would really like to know! THanks.
In an interview, Sam Reid mentions how Lestat always talks about his uncontrollable laugh in the books that always seem to come out at the wrong moments. When Louis tells him, “Aren’t I enough?” it’s all that he’s ever wanted to hear from him because he’s yearned for his affection for so long. Lestat thought that it had always been painfully obvious that *of course* he is. He chose him. *Unfortunately* because of his idiosyncratic nature, this sentiment comes off as maniacal laughter that tends to rub people off the wrong way, as wonderfully portrayed by this scene.
@@amieofrain1804 Thank you very much. Sam Reid does a marvelous job conveying everything you just shared with me. I just wanted to make sure that my impressions were correct. Because so many accuse Lestat of being manipulative. #Loustat 😄
Yeah, he was trying to punish Louis for not living the way he wanted him too but wasn't expecting Louis to clapback. It so sad because you have people mad at Louis for messing with someone from his past when Lestat said he could fuck anyone he wanted did he?
It is sad that Lestat is so manipulative to Louis, but I think it's wrong to say he's the same as the ordinary prejudiced white people. Lestat genuinely loves Louis, and thinks that Louis is superior and higher in status than anyone else... Except for himself. Lestat mistreats Louis, but his feelings about Louis are still very real. It's a toxic, borderline abusive love, but it IS love. Racists and prejudiced people have no love in their hearts when mistreating someone.
Once again this is Louis' version of story,Lestat is toxic but some memories of Louis are repressed/covered up and it's shady af. Lestat desrves living in that dump tho.
Except he doesn’t look down on him for being black, he just looks down on him for being Louie. Weaker, younger, and more emotionally vulnerable. Lestat is a narcissist plain and simple.
@@TheAssez He's one of the main characters of the Vampire Chronicles (although Lestat is definitely the real protagonist of the whole saga) and he's an old acquaintance (not exactly a friend) of Lestat, I'm not going to spoil any further but if you want to know more about him beyond Interview with the Vampire (he first appears in the second half of the story) I suggest you read The Vampire Lestat (mostly a prequel of IWTV from Lestat's POV) and The Vampire Armand, a more detailed recount of Armand's mortal and immortal life

A moment later: i don't like sharing, i heard your hearts dancing (while ugly crying)
if u call that ugly crying, wait til u see me cry
🤣🤣True
In case anyone's interested, I just posted the whole scene on my channel if you want to check it out!
100%😂😂😂
''We communicate so much better now"
Lestat, after unilaterally declaring something Louis never consented to
Story of their life kind of.
You can see the exact moment Lestat starts to panic with jealousy lol 😭😭😭
"I HeaRD YouR heArtS daNCing" 🎶🎶🎶
I love the way Louis says "So I can fuck whoever I want?" 🤨
And Lestat internally panicking..hahah

the funniest thing is he says "of course" but shakes his head in the negative

You can see Louis thinking “game on” 😂 And I absolutely love that kiss too. It’s such a Lestat kiss, controlling and possessive.
It’s like it never dawned on Lestat that Louis would also want to step out on him. This scene will always be hilarious when the realization strikes Lestat.
u can see the exact moment he swallows the jealousy down lmfaooo
Because Louis prefers “a good book by the fire.” Jonah’s arrival was a coincidence but a perfect opportunity to make Lestat jealous
If instant regret was a person, I love this scene😂😂😂😂😂
About fifteen minutes later...
"I heard your hearts dancing! 😭"
😂😂
I 🤣🤣🤣every time I see the "Of course" scene. Because Lestat is shaking his head NO! while saying "Of course."
His eyes were screaming no lmao
Yo, Sam Reid really is an Anne Rice fan. He's got Lestat's character on point! I love it.
If I see this a million times, that laughter will always make me laugh 😂.
Lestat,:'Of course!" (Wait, what?)
Lestat: "Of course" (oh, no)
Lestat: "Of course" ( Oh, no no no no no)
Lestat: "Of course: (What have I done!)
LOL
He seems to be convincing himself rather than Louis lol
Omgg sooo true😂😂😂
Lestat = no of course your not, your mine. I need love, I need you to come back to
Lestat = of course, so you won’t get bored and you know you have to come back to me
Lestat = shut up mind, stop saying of course!
There were too many “of courses” in Lestat’s response for him to be taken seriously. Lestat knew as he spoke that he was incapable of sharing Louis.
This is where the train starts going off the tracks
that of course is like the most not of course I've ever heard in my life
I cannot tell you how many times I have rewatched this
Of course... shaking head no....of course....still shaking that head . SMH
I love the way he kissed him.
Same. It’s a possessive kiss, very sexy

-Of course

In the book after becoming a vampire he states sometimes he would go into fits of laughter. He stated other vampire’s did not like it when he did.
