Moon Child

Moon Child is a movie seemingly about nothing, but really about something. It isn't so much of a vampire movie as a movie about what matters in life. In the end, it's the friends you've made. Even though somehow you've ended up at each other's throats along the way, even though you haven't seen each other for years. Kei has been gone for nine years, and one day Shuu calls him. He says 「会いたかったよ、ずっと。でも、わり。俺、いろいろあってさ…だめだよ、俺一人じゃ。お前の助けが必要だよ。助けてくれよ、けい」. America wouldn't or couldn't make a story like this with a vampire as one of the main characters. It doesn't seem to go together, but it does because it asks questions about immortality versus friendship and the meaning of life.

Now, Gackt, my man, can play a vampire like he was born to be one. His gaze reaches off into the distance and takes a hold of you. In one glance at him, you get this feeling that he's been around for centuries. Gackt is number one at vampire in my book because he can make you think he is in less than two seconds, without even opening his mouth to bare sharp teeth. Gackt can sing like none other, and the raw emotion that comes through his eyes is indescribable. Moon Child is worth watching if you like Gackt and his mesmerizing 467 year old persona.
