What We Do In The Shadows (What do we do in the shadows, 2014) is art. It is the art of comedy in its purest state. And the crème de la crème of series and movies that don't take themselves seriously, and that will amuse the audience in an incredibly crazy way. But what is What We Do In The Shadows? Why should you, my bloodthirsty reader and dubious deeds, watch? Grab your stake, some garlic, a black cape, two cats, some popcorn, and a very comfortable coffin. 6q174b
The movie and the series 1s663b
What We Do In The Shadows was originally a film shot in 2012 and released in 2014 in New Zealand. A series was commissioned and released in 2019, which is just as good (or better). The narratives of the film and the series are told as a documentary, carried out within the film/series. The story differs in the two media, the point of convergence being a film crew that records the daily lives of 4 very dubious vampires.
In the What We Do In The Shadows film, the narrative takes place through the lives of Viago (Taika Waititi), Deacon (Jonathan Brugge) and Vladislav (Jemaine Clement) — three roommates who are just trying to survive and overcome life's obstacles, such as being immortal vampires who must feast on human blood. In addition to them, there is the elderly vampire Petyr (Ben Fransham), 8000 years old on the coasts.
Hundreds of years old, vampires are finding that in addition to the catastrophes of sunlight and a faulty notion of their wardrobe, modern society has them struggling with mundane things like paying rent, keeping up with everyday tasks, trying to get into nightclubs. and overcome conflicts with each other.
Synopsis via IMDB
A series is more interesting, as it follows the same format as cameramen, but this time accompanying other characters from the same universe: Nandor (Kayvan novak), Laszlo (Matt Berry), Naja (Natasia Demetrious) and Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch), in addition to their servant, Guillermo (Harvey Guillen). The servant is a servant of vampires, who puts them in their coffins, arranges their clothes, cleans the house, seeks virgins to drink their blood, kills other evil vampires, etc. The basic.
The interesting thing is that the series surprises by mixing silly horror elements with a lot of comedy. Imagine almost a reality show of some vampires recorded during your normal day, but with many bizarre and funny things. All this in about 8 episodes of 20 minutes per season. It's pretty easy to watch: a cemetery tour.
1st reason to watch: Vampires 153928
I could set the main reason like this. Simply any media that has vampires is worth your intention. Since Twilight (Twilight, 2008) to the classic Nosferatu (1922), vampires are intriguing creatures from diverse mythologies. They are cold characters, who think they are superior, better than everyone else and literally have an insatiable bloodlust.
However, vampires have class. Although in many movies they are portrayed as more violent monsters, who dismember their victims, let's forget about that for now. Got confused? Well, just that most classic vampire. One stalker that chases the victim until his heart is beating so hard it could easily be mistaken for the tolling of a bell. And when finally the victim has no escape, life is constantly sucked out of the neck to serve as vital energy to a monster.
However, What We Do In The Shadows is different…
2nd reason to watch: Idiot Vampires 83d25
Like I said, vampires are great, you get the idea. But think for a moment where have you ever watched a vampire with fear of the dark? Or that you need help sleeping? A vampire who has serious problems with his love life? Or a bloodsucker who ends up devastated by life after immense frustration, goes to a distant city and starts working as a bar clerk, who in his spare time coaches a college women's volleyball team while being chased by a hunter. vampires? You never saw it.
What We Do In The Shadows is the pinnacle of simple comedy, with a lot of jokes, improvised scenes, bullshit, malicious puns, super charismatic characters and stories of the kind that would make someone else ashamed The Office Be proud.
In fact, if the information is worth it, almost 125 hours of footage were captured in the film, and much of this material was improvised by the actors. We are definitely not talking about just any production. The cast knew what they were doing and the chemistry of everyone there is amazing.
3rd reason to watch: Taika Waititi 2nz3i
when I said the movie was shot in New Zealand? Well, one of the creators of the original show and producer of the series is none other than Taika Waititi, responsible for revitalizing Thor in the Marvel Universe in Thor: Ragnarok (2017), and winner of the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay by Jojo Rabbit (2019). Simply Taika Waititi!
Taika Waititi is one of the biggest names in comedy of our generation, so it's worth checking out these works if you enjoyed the two films I mentioned earlier. In addition to directing, Waititi is also one of the main vampires, so he acts a lot and stars in one of the funniest scenes in the film, in addition to having a slight cameo in the series.
What We Do In The Shadows is a must for comedy fans 5p265j
What We Do In The Shadows is easily one of the best series that I've been able to watch over the last few years. winner of 8 Emmys since its creation, the work is super fun, iconic, irreverent, bloody in the right measure and gives that nice warmth in the heart.
The movie, on the other hand, is equally good, and it's certainly worth investing your time to follow “the original story”, especially if you want to get out of the common sense of the most current comedies.
The What We Do In The Shadows series has the first two seasons available on Star+, while the film can be found at Amazon Prime via Looke. It's worth watching What We Do In The Shadows and having a laugh with this gem!
