I noticed you don't see the bad side of this. Yes it is a movie, but do you know how much influence do movies have nowadays? A lot of kids watch Twilight and they will grow up thinking vampires sparkle when they expose to light. It will fuck up and entire mythology. I don't believe in vampires but I like mythology and I respect it as it is. I hate when a shitty writer fucks up all these great treasure we have with a shitty movie.

Take Underworld for example, again. It was more than amazing for me and they did not modify the actual myth. Lycans, were a race invented for the movie, but they did not mess up with Vampires and Werewolves at all. Actually they depicted vampires as the myth says, they don't care about humans but only for their bloodline.

Get it now? It's not just a simple movie. I'm talking about influence.
no , no. i see the bad side of this. but theirs a difference between myth,facts, and entertainment. im a fan of star wars but i dont get mad at the fact that theirs explosions and gun fire in space when sound doesnt exist in space. or the fact that a giant space war is going on is a fictional universe. but if you read from other cultures some vampires are day walkers. people just skim the top of the layer for basic info like not liking garlic or crosses. but you have to understand that vampire myths are made up by people just like the dude who made the twilight books (or chick i forgot). or maybe im wrong. maybe vampires exist in this world. but i highly doubt their getting bent out of shape because of one movie about vampires with inaccuracies in it. which is included in a list of vampire movies hollywood has made. also vampire myths are based on people with a rare disease back in the day when there was no explanation for their behaviors. if you read about vampires they give you another explanation for what a vampire might be.

get it now?
