Instead of burning the candle through the matches box about you stick the thumbtack and put the candle on top of it

The glasses question is misleading. It is not clear that there is a maximum volume for each glass equalling 8, 5 & 3.

A master class!! Thank you for helping us to be more creative!! I liked the empty space left that we never see!!

Spanish language movie…far, far superior, even suffering from a lower budget and shooting at night

4 = 3 + 1 and 1 = 2 × 3 - 5 . This is how I got to my solution for the glasses problem .

Overall, the Spanish version is better. However, Lugosi steals the movie back for the English version. The actor playing Dracula in the Spanish version unfortunately could not hold a candle to Lugosi's natural "strangeness," which was a key point of the character in the novel. With that said, for those that have never read it, neither movie does any justice to the novel. These were basically versions of a stage play which changed almost everything from the novel. For example, in the novel, Renfield never goes to the castle. It was Mina's fiancé, Johnathan Harker, who went. And those first 5 chapters with Harker are the very best part of the whole story. It sets everything up for the rest of the story. In the novel, Dracula's brides are a major part, and have key roles, not simply the brief few seconds, non speaking parts of these movies. Nor are there any key and major characters from Dracula's time in England included. And lastly, the whole 3rd act (the second best part of the whole story) when Dracula tries to escape back to Transylvania with the hunters on his trail was totally skipped.

I like Browning's version better, specially the face off between Dracula and Van Helsing. Melford seems to be trying to find his own language but it seems to me that he still directed as theater like in some shots and in some close ups they looked like the silent films (the Van Helsing close ups lifting eyebrows). Melford's camera move in the beginning, presenting Dracula, is interesting, but that's all in all truth. Also: I think Carlos Villarias over the top Dracula is similar to the Dracula of Nicolas Cage as played in Renfield (2023).

Great video! I agree with your evaluation: Melford makes some interesting choices, but Browning's film is just tighter and better staged. I think Browning was just more suited to the material-- he made a career out of the macabre. People complain about the plot logic in his films, but the man knew how to stage scenes and keep a story going. It's interesting to me how Melford is now best remembered for directing the Spanish Dracula, a relatively late title in his career. He was a prolific director during the 1910s and 1920s, and came to cinema from an acting career onstage (maybe that partially explains the more theatrical bent in his staging?). Were it not for Spanish Dracula, his most famous work would have been The Sheik with Valentino!

Spanish version with Lugosi as Dracula would've been the perfect version.

Wonderful comparison video. Browning's version is a masterpiece. Melford makes a few interesting choices here and there but, it's plain to see which director knows his craft better. Browning filmed during the day and had to conceive how it would all play out. Melford shot at night and watched the footage Browning had shot of the scenes before his crew tackled the same subject matter.

The idea that the Spanish version is superior to the English one is a popular, but false imo. Spanish version gets credit for that interesting camera move in the beginning, but the English version has some good stuff too like when Renfield goes to the floor and crawls over to the maid who fainted. Great shot for the time. As you point out here, many of the Spanish version's takes on scenes look like television because of the way they're blocked and shot in flat wide two shots. You could shoot something like Dracula hypnotizing Van Helsin not in shot-reverse-shot mediums, but in that era they just didn't have the fluidity of camera movement and editing to make that work yet. So, the single mediums work best in this era.

I learned recently that Browning's version was actually about 12 minutes longer than what we see today. The footage was deleted for the 1936 re-release of Dracula (too frightening, I guess?), and has since been lost, presumably forever. But you can get an idea of the deleted scenes by reading the original shooting script, which should be available online. Overall, Browning's is the superior version.

Man, Lupita Tovar is absolutely stunning

I have been complimented on how good my problem solving skills are. Whenever I've had any problem, I figure out what is causing the problem and how it's affecting me so I know what needs to change. Then I figure out how to solve the problem and what's causing it by using the knowledge I have about it or if I don't know, research it or reach out to people. Then I gather my tools and resources and use them to help solve the problem. I get assistance if need be. Here's some examples. If it's a medical problem, go to the doctor and have them examine you and diagnose you. Ask them questions about what could possibly causing the health issue and what you can do not only for the treatment, but for what's causing it. Then you can make lifestyle changes. If it's a mental health problem, processing through your problems and doing it thoroughly. Then the therapist and you can work together on it and they can give you advice on what to do. If it's education and learning, you can have a teacher, tutor, or somebody who has knowledge on the subject help teach you and study and learn easier. If it's a problem in a relationship like a conflict, you talk to that person, tell them how what happened affected you and what you need from them. If you're doing something wrong, be willing to make amends and change. If it's a difficult and stressful task at work, you can have managers and coworkers assist you and teach you better easier ways to do things.

The video was helpful for me. Good reminder that sometimes we need to step back, relax and explore the problem space.

Wow, I feel as though I took a walk through the history of editing in film making. From the very early days of using one shot of a scene that goes from room to room to tell a story, with music and sound to create momentum, to the complex nature of creating a story from many shots and cutaways, filmmakers use clever ways to pull us into the story. Thank you, Ed. I want to learn more.

Striking way to give insight into how “place” and “setting” has changed in our global community. And, how place and setting have changed due to our advancements in filmmaking. I enjoyed this video, and it makes me want to learn more.

All things being equal, I favor efficiency. The older a film is, the more distant and unusual the style is through modern eyes. It benefits a film to be shorter, more direct and to the point. We can mulch over every single aesthetic trade off...but the fact of the matter is the American version of Dracula is an iconic film. The Spanish version loses Lugosi's legendary performance and adds HALF AN HOUR to the runtime. I'll take the shorter version with the iconic performance. Indulgence is not always equivalent to increased quality.

Taking a candle poking it with a pin after breaking that candle and surrounding it with the other parts of the candle forming a square with that main candle with the candle at a rotated angle and this line above shows that the candle will be put in a box after being broken and the other two parts of the candle will be packed to reduce the air supply but before that the candle's cotton will be rubbed harshly in an attempt/effort to reduce its power to burn with the pins surrounding the box from all sides both inside and with an 4 corners of that box to potentially prenvent that box from burning even if the candle may have lesser chance of burning by itself in fire-power. (R.W.,2024). As the pins maybe/might be fire-proof. (The Psychology of Problem Solving,Personal Communication,2017).

The Spanish version may be “better” in terms of how good the movie is but the Spanish Dracula does not even compare to the OG one

I wanted to see if very different features had similar structures. So I cut together (side by side) the openings and endings of SUNSET BOULEVARD (1949) and FARGO (1996). I have REVERSED the opening of FARGO, since it takes a long time for the title to appear.

This was a very enjoyable comparison. I loved the granular detail you went into as well as discussing the merits of both.

Magnificent. Thank you very much

4:06 is it some special kind of the fire proof boxes?

It's always been very clear to me that Browning's version is superior to Melford's. The only reason I even watch the Spanish version is for Lupita Tovar.

Thank you for this analysis. My favorite film of all-time.

1:13:46 Richard Burton talks about this kzbin.info/www/bejne/emWcgGill9abn6Msi=LycaE9bDu5N3grED

It's like a lot of things like using Rubik's cube, pat your head and rub your stomach, say the alphabet backwards, putting a pen in a glass coke bottle - how do you get the pen put? Fill it with it water. The fox, the goose and the bag of beans riddle...we are all a possibility of what we can become.🧠

Very interesting video. I've been very into the movies Dracula (1931) and Renfield (2023) lately and I was wondering about this exact subject since I heard the Spanish one was 30 minutes longer. 😁

Thanks a lot

The real problem which I did not hear you say is i did not think that was allowed,,, I saw it though

Okay so I haven't watched the solution but here my three glass problem solving: Drink up glass with 8 0 5 3 5 0 3 5 3 0 2 3 3 2 5 1 7 0 1 7 1 0 4 1 3 4 4 0 took me 15 min lets go

Awesome! We need more people like him!

Awesome!

Had to match this now. The passing of Cindy Williams, at 75, is in tonight's news.

Helpful video! Many thanks to the author of the channel for the recommendations! The problem with many people is that they want to take a "magic pill" or get "secret knowledge" and immediately have skills and abilities. However, the truth of life is that knowledge, skills, and abilities do not come by themselves. You can't learn a foreign language without doing anything, without wasting your time and effort, just like you can't learn to ride a bike lying on a comfy couch, listening to lectures and watching videos about "modern methods of learning" on a bike. To really learn something, you have to really practice every day. You're going to fall down while you're learning, and you're going to get bumps - that's normal! The ups and downs of learning are an integral part of our lives. Motivation from success and depression from failure will always be your study companions. However, every student has problems in his or her studies that he or she lacks the knowledge to solve. It can be: poor memorization of words; no progress in language learning; the student can speak, but does not understand speech by ear; misunderstanding of grammar; incorrect pronunciation, etc. Agree that a problem you don't know how to solve is very demotivating. In order to find the answer to our question we have to spend a lot of time to read videos, articles and books by polyglots. In today's world, we have to solve problems as quickly as possible. I don't have time to study and analyze a huge amount of information. My goal is to master the basic knowledge of a foreign language as quickly as possible and already start earning money effectively in the international arena. I settled on the practical guide by Yuriy Ivantsiv " Polyglot's Notes: practical tips for learning foreign language". This book is always in my bag. If I have a problem while learning a language, I quickly find the answer in this book. There are many different techniques and tips for learning a foreign language in Polyglot Notes. I have made my own individual schedule and plan for language learning. Now I know what I am going to study, how I am going to study, when I am going to study and what results I am going to achieve. No problem could stop me! With an effective language learning plan my professional skills are more and more in demand internationally every day. Friends, don't stop there! Everyone has talents that millions of people around the world need! Learn the language and make your ideas and dreams come true! Thanks to the author of the channel for the informative and useful video! Your videos motivate me.

"Where were you 25 years ago ?" What a classic! Yep, Steve gets the adulation of the crowd for this one!

A very helpful overview that asks instructors to be more mindful of the choices that we make when we create assignments for our students.

I did the 853 glass problem on a notepad and figured another way to arrange the glass 8 -> 3 = 5 0 3 3 -> 5 = 5 3 0 8 -> 3 = 2 3 3 3 -> 5 = 2 5 1 5 -> 8 = 7 0 1 3 -> 5 = 7 1 0 8 -> 3 = 4 1 3 3 -> 5 = 4 4 0

Here's how I discovered this clip. Peanut Butter Players was doing Godspell,;after 911, about 3 years, and they were breaking down this song, and just to get the ball rolling, the clip from the 1973 movie was played. I remember the piano player saying, "That's the Twin towers...." The incredible irony of them singing "It's All for The Best," there, of all places, twenty years before the first attack, is just thick as it gets.

Nice 👍

I was in NYC in September 1990 went to the World Trade Center and to the roof of one of the towers. This is just what it looked like when I was there

The movie was directed by Lucius David Syms-Greene (born Lucius David Syms Brian Lederman)

Awesome ❤❤❤❤

This looks extremely dangerous damn

Splendid Fact ❤️ . Thanks 😊 .

Did anyone realizes that these actors were the first people (besides the construction crew, and architects), to reach the top of the world trade center and see that view before it even opened. Even before when tight rope walker Philippe Petit pulled his stunt.
