How about the movie Vampire Life?

At the beginning of the movie, the alarm clock rang at six o'clock, and the dark coffin lid was slowly opened. A vampire dressed as Dracula rose from the inside with a mean smile on his face. He was overjoyed to find that night had fallen, and went to every room in the apartment to wake up other similar people in turn. Throughout the process, a camera followed him closely, faithfully recording every moment, and he didn't mind the existence of the camera, and occasionally said a few words to the camera. The whole atmosphere is like the shooting record of I Love My Family.

Like most mockumentary, The Vampire's Life is very cheap, and it also embodies the most emphasized advantage of this kind of film: innovation. But also in form and content. First of all, it revolutionized the movie theme of vampires and really told the vampire's own story. As we all know, European and American movies involving vampires have a history of nearly a hundred years, but in essence, their real protagonists are vampire victims, lovers, relatives and friends or vampire hunters. In those works, vampires only appear when they meet others, showing various social faces. On the big screen, we have never been so close to their private lives as Vampire Life. Formally, the film not only has mockumentary's regular follow-up, but also the protagonist's interview with the mirror, the commentary file of the later editing and so on. And accompanied by music. These film techniques did not destroy the audience's immersion experience at all, but highlighted the proper texture of a "documentary".

If you are superstitious enough, you may think that the screenwriter has been with the real vampire day and night, otherwise how can you look at the problem from the latter's point of view so skillfully: they can't look in the mirror, so they won't dress up before the invention of the selfie phone; Their hypnosis can be used to play all kinds of pranks; When they are angry, they will fly and fight, or turn into bats and fly away; They need agents to search for prey, and the scene of eating is unsightly. If they screw up, it means cleaning up; As an old man who is often hundreds of years old, he will be entangled in trivial matters like a child, arguing endlessly, and occasionally showing a trace of sadness about eternal life. Of course, this is a bit of a cliche. They followed all the common sense of vampires. The only curious thing is that vampires with infinite power should be able to move a sarcophagus cover without so much effort. The feelings, grudges and resentments of these vampires are not dramatic, but they are full of the human feelings of corrupt men. Pretending to dress up, foreign strange accent, does not help to enhance noble temperament, blood-sucking appearance is not as elegant as romantic works; Looking at the small apartment where they live, you can almost smell the rancid and bloody smell from the picture. Of course, this unconventional description will be a bit suspicious, so not long after the opening, the film arranged for an unlucky victim to try to escape, and the camera turned to his perspective. We followed him around Yusen's closed house, watching him being chased and molested by vampires, and finally born to die. This passage is full of the horror effect of "deadly video", aiming to show that although it looks funny, we are in front of a real vampire with fangs. In the final analysis, the biggest entertainment of this film comes from being funny. In addition to those who deconstruct vampire common sense, it is also good at controlling emotions by various nonsense means. Sometimes it is very serious-the apartment was attacked by hunters, one of the partners was burned alive by the sun, and the visit of the police set off a tense atmosphere; Just when the tone was close to the thriller movie, the subsequent "Shame Parade" made the audience laugh and cry, and the strong gap created laughter. The film consists of some fragmented plots, which indirectly contradict each other loosely, and can't think of a specific narrative main line, but its emotional power is steadily accumulating. From the initial ruthlessness, blood-sucking waste wood gradually showed the tenacity of grassroots. Just like all people in the world, their existence is full of hardships, but they are also gathering courage to spend every day, trying to find the value and meaning of life, just like us.
