For every generation there's one girl chosen, who rises against the vampires,the demons and all the forves of the darkness... she is the slayer

In 1992 the brilliant  Joss Whedon (23 June 1964) wrote the scenario for the film: Buffy - The Vampire Slayer,  whose interpreter of the protagonist was the young person Kristy Swanson. Unfortunately this film did not have minimally the success and the notoriety that  conquered the serial  Tv Buffy The Vampire Slayer created in 1997 with the young SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR(14 April 1977),  as famous protagonist for her apparition in several film like: Scream II, I know what you did last summer and finally we remember here for passional lesbian kiss in Cruel Intention. Initially, presented to the screen-test to obtain the role of Cordelia Chase, the Gellar obtained the role of the Protagonist Buffy!!! The young Buffy Anne Summer was born in January of 1981 in Los Angeles. Her infancy was not an easy one, distracted from her skating passion  but disturbed by her cousin Celia’s dead  and by her parents’ divorce. Just to the beginning of the adolescence, when it seems to surmount her infantile shock and becomes the more popular girl of the Hemery High School, her happiness will be interrupted but from her watcher Marrik, who will tell her the history of the slayer and will reveal her that she is the chosen!!! Therefore Buffy will undertake the fight against the demons, vampires and the forces of the evil. She will be shocked from her “profession”,  and she’ll lose her friendships, then ,with her watcher’s  death, at the hands of a vampire she’ll have a psychological collapse that will carry her to burn the gymnasium of her school because it was convinced that there was a vampire. Once she was sent away from the Hemery she’ll go to Sunnydale (as then we will discover citizen where is situated the mouth of hell) with the mother to begin a new life, unfortunately she’ll meet her new watcher, Mr. Giles, who will reveal her that her  task of slayer must continue, and its companions of adventure Xander and Willow, who will help her to exceed all adversities. As cherry on the cake will appear Angel (David Boreanaz), her beautiful vampire that, for punishment of his sins, has received from a monk a spirit  making him feel suffering and depreciation for his wrong-actions, with which she fell in love . The adventures of Buffy are articulated in 5 wonderful series in which “coups de théâtre” follow one other. As the large success obtained from the telefilm to the 3th series, Angel leaves Sunnydale and gives Buffy the chance to leave and  the possibility to live the life she has always dreamt, and begins the telefilm Angel of which he isthe main character. It will be broadcast in Italy in November 2001!!! But people can think that Buffy’s story  is only a brilliant invention of the great Joss Whedon, but is not true. In fact in spite of what a lot of people think, the story of the slayer is a myth that finds some replies in the history.

 

 Boston, 1845:  a ship of the pirates had been hit from one series of terrible homicides. The attack ended when a young woman arrived in city.

 

Virginia, 1866:  The appearance of a civil war shocked a community had already been proved. Such event ended when Lucy Hanover arrived in town.

 

Territory of Oakland, 1893:  A series of wild attacks claim the screw of seventeen colons. The homicides  stopped when one young railway-woman visited the town.

 

Chicago, May 1927:  Fourtyone corpses were found next to the Union Station. After the short arrival of this young woman, the homicides ended mysteriously.

 

We have decided to speak about this tele-film because we has been impressed from the history of Buffy and its job of slayer and we hope to have made in you our same passion.

Even  if this is a simple imagination or a reality, the idea of the slayer exists, so if you believe  or not, remind to watch behind you because it could be something in ambush in the shadow.
