INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE (2022 - ) I I Could Not Prevent It
#what madeleine did here was also so effective in showing how little in comparison lestat and armand did#like what does it matter if the coven was gonna 'kill them' if they don't cooperate#madeleine said she'd die before abandoning claudia. <<prev#the way claudia nods at madeleine so she can save herself!!!! she wants her beloved to live!!!#but then the defeated look on her face because she's so certain she will be alone by the end because why should she be picked first.#BUT MADELEINE PICKS HER!!!! OVER LIFE OVER EVERYTHING ELSE#for once in her fucking LIFE somebody picked claudia#and it was here. like this. moments before they both died.#they really got me good with this moment#god the way she nods at her. like. giving her permission to save herself. looking away so she doesnt have to watch madeline betray her.#you can see that look on claudia's face fully anticipating that madeline choose to join the coven#and then the stunned surprised look when she doesn't#she had resigned herself to being “second choice” again and then madeleine picks her. literally picks death to be with her#madeline was established as a survivor after all this time from her birth through the war and everything#but she chose claudia because there is no other choice for her where living would be without her#she is a survivor - yes - but there are some things that arent worth surviving#madeline's actress had some beautiful commentary about this#live in darkness or die with light by your side. so it is survival to me#only at the end#only then did Claudia finally experience love#true companionship#the only person who ever thought of her first#god it’s all so tragic I sobbed through this uncontrollably#the love was there. it didn't change anything but the love was there. etc#i really can't with madeleine last name's being eparvier#claudia really belonged with the birds#but not the helpless ones#she's a bird of prey#interview with the vampire#iwtv spoilers
