@hanng12423 жыл бұрын
I think that the most interesting part of this film is just how Catholic it is. Rather than vampirism being a metaphor for disease, or sex, or foreigners, Coppola chose to make vampirism a consequence of profanation of the Eucharist. Dracula renounces God and stabs the Cross, then drinks the blood out of the chalice on the altar while cursing himself. What we see here is vampirism as a shallow imitation/mockery of the eternal life promised by Christ. This comes up later in the scene where Dracula visits Mina at the asylum. Rather than having Mina drink from an obvious place like his wrist, he has Mina drink from a wound in his side. This has to be a reference to the Gospel according to St. John in which blood and water flow from the side of Jesus crucified on the Cross (see Jn 19:34). Then, Dracula bids Mina to drink "to join [him] in eternal life," this time referencing the (traditional) Catholic communion where the giving of the Eucharist is accompanied by the words, "May the body of our Lord Jesus Christ lead you to eternal life" (one does wonder, however, why Coppola didn't use something more similar to the Orthodox formulation since he clearly showed familiarity in Orthodoxy in the way the priest crossed himself in the beginning as well as in the wedding of Jonathan and Mina). Finally, in Dracula's death scene, he says something that is a bit difficult to make out, but I heard the words "God" and "forsaken me." I think that what Dracula is saying is an allusion to Christ's last words on the Cross before dying (at least according to St. Matthew), "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (Matt. 27:46). Afterwards, Mina says that Dracula's actions had "released us all from the powers of darkness." I don't know why Coppola thought it would make any sense (either theologically or in the logic of the setting), but this line clearly indicates that Dracula's death is somehow salvific, just as salvation comes through the Crucifixion. Coppola has used very Catholic imagery before; I refer of course to the Baptism/multiple homicide scene in the Godfather where the murders occurring intercut with Michael's participation in the Baptismal ceremony not only shows his hypocrisy, but it also symbolizes his full entry into the world of organized crime, as Baptism is a person's entry into the Church. Therefore, all this Catholic imagery in Coppola's Dracula has to be deliberate. I don't think I have seen any other Dracula film take this angle - vampirism as sacrilege.

The fact that they did nearly all of the effects in camera helped the film age really well. Up until recently, CGI effects for film were always rendered at 2K (1080p). When films with 2K effects are released on 4K Blu-Ray, those shots suffer in comparison to other shots photographed at nearly 6K resolution. The 4K release of this movie received rave reviews for image quality, in no small part to the effects being created in camera.

And not for nothing, he’s an awesome Van Helsing here.

Imho he was too much ''over the top lunatic doctor'', like a goofy crazy scientist, book Van Helsing definitely wasn't like that. The BBC 77 version got him right, just as other characters (especially Mina). Coppola's movie should not have been named after Stoker because it's more like a soft porn with some details from the book. The greatest insult would be the antihero characterization of Dracula and also other portrayals of different characters were over the top and genuinely bad (especially Mina, Jonathan, Van Helsing and even Dracula himself).

It's funny Mike says Dracula wasn't written with a film audience in mind. That's true, but Stoker was also manager of a theater (he knew Oscar Wilde) and actually released a theatrical version of the story just before the book was published in order to establish his copyright, so theatrical adaptations probably were in the back of his mind for the book to some extent. It looks like the book Dracula was actually based on the mannerisms of one of his theater's main actors.

The beginning in Dracula's castle (which is the original kernel of Stoker's story and supposedly came from a dream he had) I thought was excellent, but then after that the story kinda...gets meh. I thought the epistolary style kind of separates the reader from the story and it kind of feels like a Sherlock Holmes knockoff (which I guess is how the book was more or less received) with some gee-whizz "we recorded this diary entry on a gramophone" technology love. Anyway, the reason the book is really considered important is because of the movies it spawned. Adding the Mina-Dracula love story was probably the only way to keep most of the book story but also make it a compelling movie.

In the preview, there was a shot of Van Helsing standing against the castle wall beside a drawbridge shouting "Kill them all, let God sort them out!" That wasn't in the final cut of movie. The second-most-memorable thing for me is that the first time I saw Dracula, I was home from school with the flu and had a high fever. I thought it seemed really strange and disjointed because of the fever. When I rewatched it later, I realized that no, it was just the movie.

I know revisionist history paints Vlad as some kind of Christian crusader but his very first reign was started after he led an Ottoman army and captured Wallachia for them. He continued to pay tribute to the Sultan and didn't actually switch over to the Christian side until he stopped paying for three years and then learnt of a plot by Mehmed II to have him captured by calling him to Constantinople. He seems to have aligned with the Ottomans when needed, aligned with Hungary when he needed to fight the Ottomans and then gone after the Saxons too The myth of Vlad the Impaler also seems to have started in Germany after his raids on Saxon villages, while Vlad was allied with the Ottomans. Tbh just the first page of his Wiki makes him out to be even more of a psychopath than I thought.

Richard E. Grant’s terrific first book of diaries, With Nails, has a whole section on this shoot. Coppola had everyone at his Napa estate (at his own expense) for a week to bond, spitball, rehearse and carouse. My favourite detail is that he had the three suitors go for a balloon ride in costume, unfilmed, just to get a feel for an experience three young men of that era might have had. Oh, also, this movie had the same rat wrangler as Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Okay one more: the babies used in the scenes freaked out when the actors put the fangs in. Anyway, highly recommend the book for a glimpse of the golden age of 1990s cinema and the backstage of working with some notorious actors and directing greats.

His total love for film as an art form really shines through here more than any other in his filmography.

Count Strahd von Zarovich, a vampire in the AD&D (Advanced Dungeons and Dragons) Ravenloft Campaign Setting (1983), had a tragic story with a woman, Tatyana, that he loved. He killed his brother (who was marrying her) and she jumped off the balcony to suicide. Then he was tormented by reincarnations of Tatyana, every generation or so, always searching for her, always dying tragically. I remember watching the "Bram Stoker's Dracula" movie when I was in high-school (around 16). We went to the cinema with a couple of classmates and one guy fell asleep cause he was tired by football training. The other guy and me loved the movie though. A few years later, I had moved to another city for University and made new friends and we played "Advanced Dungeons and Dragons" a lot. And this movie was one of our favorites (we watched it again a few times). We had the soundtrack playing during our D&D sessions. Also used soundtracks from "Interview with the Vampire", "Last of the Mohicans", "Conan the Barbarian", "The 13th Warrior" and others. Good times, even though we never played in Ravenloft per se.

im from Sonoma California (wine country), wine is overrated. When i used to be a tow truck driver, i changed Frances Ford Coppola's tire on his jeep grand cherokee....his wife refused to get out of the jeep and was nasty personality wise, Francis tipped me 20$ and said he was sorry for his wife's behavior, that was nice.

Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula: One of the original “found footage” stories. I think that’s cool!
@derlich093 жыл бұрын
"Telling the story through journal entries" is a Lovecraft staple, but Stoker did it first.
@Wonzling08153 жыл бұрын
Though I always remember the finale being very anticlimactic in the book (which makes sense since the "found text" is not written with intent to thrill): "Then we rode after the carriage. The gypsy henchmen made a fuss but luckily we managed to chop off the count's head. PS: I almost forgot: the Texan died."

Yeah, I really enjoyed reading it. Not knowing that it would be in that format for the whole book going in it took me by surprise but the different writing styles of the characters and the pompous language were just adorable and quickly won me over. I can even forgive that it obviously inspired the Paranormal Activity series.

@@derlich09 Epistolary horror novels weren't anything new by 1897 when Dracula was first published. Even Frankenstein used that form and that came out back in 1818. The epistolary novel form dates all the way back to late 15th century, though took proper hold in the 17th century.

As hokey as Keanu Reeves is, I actually think his lack of response during the early stuff works as he's putting his role as a solicitor before anything else. He's not going to make his client aware of the fact that he thinks he's a weirdo, he's signing the cheques.
