This is why I was pissed off at them calling it 'Bram Stokers Dracula'. It's nothing of the sort. Having Mina as Dracula's long lost, True Love was all Coppolas idea. The True Romance story in Dracula, is of the Love that four men felt for Mina Harker and Lucy Westnra. And the Trials and Sacrifice they went through to save the women. Dr. van Helsing, Dr. John Seward, Quincy Morris Jonothan Harker. They are the steadfast Lovers of Dracula.

The screenwriter made a terrible story out of a great book. Mina's love and affection for Jonathan, how she cares for him Jonatha and Mina remind us of Penelop and Ulysses. Mutual affection and concern.

[@zmani4379]

Nice reaction - I think you zeroed in on exactly the right aspects of this - the whole movie is fundamentally a bacchanale - many of us didn't quite realize this when it came out - we were all expecting a horror move in the more traditional sense, esp from the director of the Godfather, and Coppola's exuberant playfulness disoriented us - it feels more like some kind of opera or ballet in spirit, or some cultish rite - but I think you immediately understood all this -

[@blackspring3207]

this is one of the best comments on this movie that i've ever seen in a comment section.

[@paulieluppino1856]

7:25 ..."They have cages in their heads"... Remember Silence of the Lambs? The scene where Lecter was being transferred and had a muzzle in his face? Well, this is the 19th century version, just to prevent patients to bite people...

[@MrGadfly772]

There's a lot of literature and speculation about sexual repression in Edwardian England. Many have pointed out that a lot of Vampire literature, including Bram Stoker, is a way for sex to be discussed without actually talking about sex. This is an extraordinary film in many ways. Coppola tried as often as possible to use practical effects and even film tricks that date back to the late 1800s.

[@graffitimike1]

I wouldn't doubt history will also reflect on the present day as overly sexual.

[@unclebounce1495]

A convenient explanation by people who want to prove their own expertise (ego of unnecessary professors/elitists). There's more written material about secs today than back then. Are we more secshually repressed? no. the logic doesn't hold. It's just an old wive's tale that seems intuitively right so long as you don't think critically, perpetuated by fraud experts with bought paper certifications.

[@BirdBrain0815]

⁠​⁠@@unclebounce1495Well, you don’t exactly cite any references to prove your point. But the fact remains that vampires before the age of romanticism were very very different and had nothing to do with sex or the charming dandy that Bram Stoker has immortalised. The 19th century has given a terrible killer that stalks the night the aspect of the devil tempter that vampires didn’t originally have. And the fact that the temptation here is largely sexual (in contrast to previous historical examples of contracts with devils or demons) and at the same time the temptation is no longer depicted as altogether and absolutely evil says something. (Although Mina at the end is quite different in the book.) It is not a coincidence that this tragic tale of love, lust, transgression (also of the sexual kind) struck a nerve almost instantly. Whether or not it says something about the Edwardian period or more about the ending Victorian one is perhaps a different question. (By the way, the logic is not that the era was repressed because there were stories about sex. The logic is, the had to _mask_ the sex behind a thin veil of vampirism to make it publicly acceptable while at the same time everybody understood what was really going on. Today we have actual in-the-face porn. The Arabian Nights of the movie were much less widely available or socially accepted or debated openly.)

My favorite Dracula movie. Not only because it showed me Monica Bellucci, but also for sticking pretty tight to the source material. And cinematography. And main actors. And yeah - a great love story.

[@TacticusPrime]

I mean, it's not that close at all. The entire thing about Mina being the reincarnation of Dracula's ancient love is nowhere in the book.

[@artursandwich1974]

@@TacticusPrime Sure, There are some added things and some taken away. As ALWAYS with movies of books.This one doesn't bother me in the least. To me it's licentia poetica for interpretation. The movie's still tighter than other "Draculas", you'll have to agree, and I'd say it's closer to the book than Jackson's "LotR". Close enough to earn it's title. And it's definitely closer than doing Hamlet's soliloque with a skull in his hand and yet... ;)

[@TacticusPrime]

@@artursandwich1974 ... closer than Jackson's LotR? That's nonsense. Those movies are at least about the same thing that books are about. An intrepid band of heroes overcome many challenges, chief of which being their own temptations toward power, and defeat a dark lord. The core theme and narrative plot beats are there. Horny Dracula doesn't do that at all. It substitutes its own themes and core conflict. Sure, it includes some book dialogue, letter writing, and side characters normally cut by other adaptations. But that's not what makes an adaptation faithful to its source. Book Dracula is not a tragic romantic figure. He's just a monster consumed by barbarism and infecting others with it.

[@artursandwich1974]

@@TacticusPrime Yes, the movie does indeed divulge into the "why" the book has nothing to do with. The motivation is an added thing, yet the core events remain, and to the characters Dracula remains as he is to the reader, except for Elisabeth (?). I admit to stick to my guns somewhat less firmly now. And it should be mentioned that I had read the book like 6 years prior to the movie's release, saw the movie and was very impressed and then re-read the book like five or six later and that was all still almost 30 years ago, so what I had of reservations against the film I would've forgotten by now. I'm definitely grateful for your insight. Perhaps it's time to read the book 3rd time and watch the movie again. It's still closer than other Draculas 😜

Lol, Dasha! The women aren’t drawn to him totally naturally! He is charming but he’s a vampire! He hypnotized them! It’s mind control! Same with the vamp chicks who seduced Jonathon! Most of the time the victims think it was all a dream. Remember what Lucy said to Mina after she saved her from wolf Dracula. She felt like she was a million miles away. Plus there was weird mojo with Mina and his late wife. There was some kind of connection.

Dracula is thought to be inspired by Vladislav II, ruler of Wallachia (modern day Romania). He was/is known as Vlad the Impaler because he used to impale his enemies on spikes (as seen in the beginning of the movie). This movie is so good, great cast and the score is fantastic. Everything is very grand and epic, and sometimes very cringe or cheesy. And the actors play into it fantastically. I love it.

[@markcarpenter6020]

But stoker's vampires were inspired by Irish vampire legends not Romanian ones. Yes the Irish had their own vampires that were a type of fairy. Pretty much every culture on earth has their own vampire legends. (I like the Chinese "hopping" vampires. Those things are insanely powerful and literally impossible to kill. The best you can do is seal them.)

This is one of the greatest movies ever made. The book was great. This movie was so great it withstood Keanu Reeves acting which was the sole negative reaction from critics. A few points:' 1: Mina is the re-incarnation of Elizabeta and Van Helsing is the re-incarnation of the priest in the opening scene. You will notice Anthony Hopkins played both characters. 2: The carriage rider who picked up Jonathan from the Borgo pass was Dracula. 3: The first vampyre who rose from the bed to seduce Jonathan was played by Monica Bellucci. It was her second film appearance. 4: Dracula through out the film takes up different physical forms. None of what you watched was a dream. At end it is plain to see that Dracula has to come grips with his destiny and wants his soul to rest in peace. Great movie and the book is even better!!

[@davida.j.berner776]

"That's a very detailed journal...!" Yes, it is! If I remember rightly, the original book is what's known as a "letter novel," i.e. it is entirely comprised of letters (or similar written records) between the characters. There is no narrator as such. This means that everything - characters, events and places - are all described in detailed letters, written by the characters themselves. Since the film tries to be broadly faithful to the book, it's actually a nice touch that it uses detailed letters and journals (both in the voiceovers and by showing us actual letters) to convey information like this.

In some vampire myths what the stake is made of isn't important it is how you stake the vampire. The idea is you pin the vampire down though the heart find to the ground. This dose not kill the vampire but it prevents them from moving or acting.

22:57 to answer your question Dasha, in certain vampire mythology, staking was not a method to kill a vampire, but metal stakes were used to nail a suspected vampire to its coffin to prevent it rising from the grave, which lead to the old legend of a wooden stake in the heart being born,

Keanu Reeves played the role of Johnathan Harker in Coppola's adaptation of Dracula, and in the John Wick series Ian McShane's character Winston referred to him as 'Johnathan'.

There is sexual tension, you're not the only one to notice that!

While this movie does take some liberties it is still the closest to Bram Stoker's novel of any of the movie adaptations. It's also one of my favorite vampire movies up there with the movie adaptations of Carmilla (a vampire novel written about 20 years before Dracula about a lesbian vampire). This movie has a verry heavy art house feel (heavily inspired by 1800s theater) and was a passion project the director. In short you picked one of rhe best vampire movies ever made for this reaction. I would also recommend Near Dark, The Lost Boys, and Blade(based on a Marvel comics character) as other vampire movies you might like.

[@usamazahid3882]

It's interesting for the fact that it was based on a book of the same name, and it was captivating. It was also Francis Ford Coppola's biggest success since the Godfather Trilogy. Hot take for this one though, Dasha: Winona Ryder was impressed with the script that she opted to play Mina instead of Mary Corleone in The Godfather Part III, and instead, Sofia Coppola, Francis's daughter was sent to play the character. Plus, his son, Roman was one of the Visual Effects crewmen that worked on the effects of the Film.

I was super excited when I saw this on your Patreon, and you seemed to appreciate it every bit as much as I thought you might. Keanu’s ever-changing accent aside, so much to enjoy about this film, fantastic blend of gothic horror and romance, perhaps a touch overblown, but still holds up incredibly well for it already being over thirty years old. There is a newer movie that draws loosely from Dracula lore called Renfield that you really ought to check out, more of an action comedy but still pretty good, plus Nic Cage as Dracula.

Of all the Dracula movies, this is most in keeping with the book. One main difference, is that there was no romance between Mina and Dracula and another is they way Dracula died. It was close though. In the book, Quincy stabs him in the chest and Jonathan beheads him. Quincy was mortally wounded and died like in the movie. Jonathan and Mina named their son after him. FYI, all the visual effects in this movie were shot using camera trickery and practical effects. It’s quit amazing how they did some of them.

Bram Stoker basically invented the Sexy Vampire, they were more monster before his writing

[@Cassiel75]

He actually ate the bugs

This was titled _Bram Stoker's Dracula_ to avoid any copyright problems from Universal Studios. Columbia Pictures and Coppola wanted to do a trilogy of horror films based on the famous novels. This and Tim Burton's _Sleepy Hollow_ were the most successful, with _Mary Shelley's Frankenstein_ being mostly forgotten today.

You are correct, it has to be a wooden stake. And , it must stay in the vampire even after they have died or else they will come back to life.

I think Dasha's 😂 repressed sexual tensions is surfacing in her reactions ❤🤗

[@ChristyHollywood]

Oh yeah, I'm sure Dasha had to go get laid after this one. Not that she dosnt get laid on the regular already. 😂

To be fair this movie could bring out the repressed sexual tensions of a brick.
