Mina is reincarnated. By the time of the novel, not only science but ocultism and Asian traditions were flourishing and reincarnation was not a strange concept then. And Dr Van Helsing is the reincarnation of the priest at the beginning of the movie, pursuing Dracula for eternity.

"How can he take wolf form?" He just does. According to the lore, Dracula is OP. As you can see in the film, he can transform into a wolf, a bat (or bats), into mist, and has control over all earthly beasts. He can withstand sunlight and also control the weather (the character Kain from Legacy of Kain also inspired by this and has similar powers). Glad you liked the movie! It's a quintessential vampire film and the visuals are very artsy and unique. React to Wolfman (2010, Benicio Del Toro, Anthony Hopkins) please. Another cool take on the classic monster film 👌

[@dlweiss]

People like to joke about Keanu's performance in this, but aside from his (less-than-great) attempt at a British accent, I think he's actually perfect casting for Jonathan - because Jonathan isn't meant to be some dashing cool hero man. He's meant to be a pretty little himbo who's too focused on being polite to realize he's in MORTAL DANGER until it's waaaay too late. And he's meant to be the story's first primary "damsel in distress" before Dracula moves to London. :)

[@HobGungan]

"Music?! Those Animals!" is the one and only line of his that absolutely needed a reshoot or 20. Other than that, I quite liked him.

[@stephaniehickey4103]

[@chaost4544]

Agreed. When reading the novel, Jonathan's character came across as aloof in his environment. Keanu's performance fits the character despite the bad accent. You labeling him a himbo is hilarious because it's true.

[@AnnekeOosterink]

Yeah, he's trying to be very polite, also because he's a lower to middle class guy working for a literal count. Plus he's kind of being "hah, all those superstitious weirdos here, with their garlic, lolol, I, a scientific minded and sophisticated Brit know it's all nonsense" and then dismisses all signs that he's in a vampire story as the wind, illusions, and him having slept badly etc. And of course because he's not aware he's in a vampire story, he doesn't know there are even any signs to pick up on. He's supposed to be oblivious and a little dismissive.

So the priest that marries Johnathan and Mina was a real priest and performed a real marriage ritual in the scene, so Reeves and Ryder are technically married to each other. Which is why they always jokingly refer to themselves as each others husband and wife

Keanu's strength as an actor has never been dialogue, but emotion. It's why most of his iconic and acclaimed roles are quiet. He shares everything you need to know he feels and thinks with his face. He is similar to Nic Cage in that they are much better telling you what they think with their faces rather than their words.

The title of the film says it all. This is one of the most accurate adaptations of a novel ever filmed. Also, Keanu's terrible accent has a bit of charm to it now for me because of bias towards the actor.

[@Fernando-nz3rb]

This is not the best version of Dracula. The insertion of romantic melodrama to please the female audience made a horror story look like Twilight. A love story of a foreign prince and a suburban woman is introduced as a kind of love fantasy for the female audience in their mediocre lives. Just look at Bella who is an ordinary girl in Twilight and attracts Edward.

[@bckettlewell]

No matter how close the dialogue and much of the story matches, the insertion of the romance between Mina and Dracula destroys Stoker’s intent and makes it not at all a faithful adaptation in spirit.

[@76063co2]

Even almost 100 years later, it is still difficult to replace the image of Bela Lugosi as Dracula within the cultural conscious, but Oldman definitely gives a hell of a performance. To my mind, this was the first movie that went full in on the idea that Dracula was indeed the historical figure, Vlad the Impaler. I don't think Dracula's origin had ever been told on film until this prologue, which was not part of Stoker's novel.

[@illustrated__human]

[@DocuzanQuitomos]

"The brides of Dracula" The reason why the Brides of Dracula in this film have so few acting credits is because they were mainly (at the time) models, not big time actresses, casted to be these seductive temptresses (Dracula is Monica Belucci's second acting role ever in film, and the third, counting a tv series). Florina Kendrick's public information doesn't describe her as a model, but as a Romainian actress (in spite the absence of roles in IMDB and other sources, if she later devoted to theather or modelling or this really was one of her two only acting credits ever it's a bit unclear). Kendrick has been recognized for helping her fellow brides to better speak the lines they delivered in Romanian and was also a cultural consultant for the parts set in that country. "Lucy Westenra" The character is not only interesting due to her backstory (and Sadie Frost's excellent performance); while some scenes in the film are not in Bram Stoker's novel, Stoker did create several characters to represent (or at least hint) conflicts and changes in Victorian, society at the time (like the contrasts between how females should behave in Victorian times vs. the rising ideals of feminism of the time). It's been proposed in some studies that, precisely, the passages where it's indicated the sexualized vampire Lucy feeds on children may have led scholars to downplay the character for possible hints of abuse. Nontheless, there may be another layer there: back in Victorian times, the welfare of children was... poor (to put it midly) with kids working from young ages, in dangerous jobs, and in poor living conditions (it was normal for children to suffer accidents or die for several causes, to the point some poor families didn't even bother naming their young children until they were sure they would grow into their teens). In this particular context, by the time the novel was published (1897), a growing movement started to worry about children's welfare and how several were kidnapped with impunity in the dark streets of London just because "that just happened". Rather than being just a victim or "the flirty girl that dies first", as some sort of punishment for her illicit ways (something that would have allowed a bit better some of her traits to fly in victorian censorship; sorry Lucy, you were too modern for the time), Lucy Westenra has context and purpose beyond being "the first to die". It could even be argued that (mixing a bit the context of the time and the film) targeting Lucy first was even a logical choice for Dracula (Lucy is adventurous, lively and carefree, open to discovery and the unknown, traits that, at one time, were said to be influenced by blood; unfortunately being so open to the unknown can also be the door to be seduced by dark forces that should not be listened). She is more open to Dracula's influence, and is also a big source of vitality. "Nosferatu and vampyr" Both words became part of the vampiric lore thanks to this novel; while "vampyr" is just a translation of "vampire", in the case of nosferatu the first recorded use (as written) appears around 1865 in a German article about Transylvanian lore and it roughly means "undead", "insufferable one" or "offensive one" (and later it was taken as another word for vampire). The word was later used in an 1885 english text about the same topic. But here the word gets tricky: while there are these two instances in Europe of Nosferatu (hinting in the texts that it comes from Romanian lore), this word (as written) doesn't appear in any period of Romanian history (meaning, at least, that it wasn't written as "nosferatu" and, somewhere, someone made a transcription mistake). Possible origins of the word have been proposed like Nosferat (from earlier German texts), nosophoros (from Greece, "disease-bearing") or necurat (Romanian, "unclean"). Oddly enough, while coming from different contexts and different time periods, all the words are related to the unclean or sick, the basis of what a vampire is, as a monster. The film Nosferatu was titled like this because Wilhelm Murnau didn't have the rights to adapt the novel Dracula. While Murnau placed a lot of alterations for the film, Stoker's heirs still sued him for this adaptation. Since copyright was not the same as it is today, Murnau lost the case and the court ordered the film to be destroyed. Oddly enough (again, mirroring vampiric resilience in many horror films), several copies survived this purge. If you like stories of the paranormal and the occult, they say that the film, Murnau and Max Schreck (the actor playing Nosferatu) hid and used several occult knowledge and symbolism all over the film for those who know where to look and how to decode the signals. "The Last Voyage of the Demeter" Indeed, the upcoming film is an expansion/adaptation of Dracula's sea travel to England. But it has a layer on its own, because hunted/ghost ships have big lore that could be linked to every bit of what's described in the novel. Before XIX century, several pandemics afflicted most countries almost every year, for several years in a row. And, since commerce could not be stopped and there was no way to accurately test who was ill or not, many times the entire crew of a ship got sick or spread disease to every port the ship travelled to (in some cases, lore speaks of ships sailing alone, carried by winds, after all the crew had died). Since vampires are said to spread disease wherever they go, it's easy to imagine a ghost ship transporting a vampire. The Demeter is also based in a real shipwreck that happened in England in 1885: the russian cargo ship Dmitry. Rather than supernatural happenings (in this case), the Dmitry encountered a gale and ended up stuck in a sand bar in Whitby Harbour, in spite of desperate efforts to guide the ship to port (it became a local show, several neighbors left their homes to watch the events unfold. The ship could not be saved and was sold to be broken up for the damage taken during the gale. Nice reaction and see you in the next one.

I didn't know until recently that Nicholas Cage is actually a Coppola. He changed his name to make a name for himself. I think that was smart

[@josephirizarry5195]

“He’s grown young!” 😂 That’s more of a “I wasn’t hired for my acting chops” moment

[@chefskiss6179]

I wish you two coulda seen this in cinemas; it was made for the big screen. And as for the awesome Richard E. Grant, as young as he looked, he was already a big name before being in Dracula... he had already made major waves on his own in other flicks, like Withnail & I, How To Get Ahead In Advertising, The Player, L.A. Story, Henry & June...

RonJoxy - the best YT duo I know that I need. Can't ever go wrong with Gary Oldman as a lead. Possibly the best actor sui generis. Probably one of the most lavish, artistic and sumptuous movies ever made - let alone that it's a classic novel adaptation. It will still be fawned over in 100 years time - at some cinematograph somewhere 🤓

[@blackxmas999]

Oh the things that Roxy focuses on. The brides of Dracula coming out of the bed to feast on Keanu…. “How’s the bed doing that?”.

[@hannahprose]

John you made my day with that Ghost lyric!! Tobias loves this movie. Thank you both for the fun reaction ❤

[@richarddefortuna2252]

The baby was from the surrounding village; Dracula stole it to feed on, just as Lucy does after her initial death.

[@BTBSOUNDS]

Bro I JUST read the novel for the first time!! I was gonna watch the movie over the weekend, can't wait to be back at that point!

[@garthmcguigan2357]

As a kid, Dracula was my favorite book. I was so happy when this film came out, calls on the source material so well

[@Vulcanerd]

As far back as I can remember, Gary Oldman has been a badass of an actor.

[@thomasgrimm1664]

Best Dracula ever

[@reneetoz3831]

I'm stoked to see you guys reacting to this. I saw it in the theater at 16 and it changed the way I see film. It's still in my top 4 of all time❤

The only thing I knew Sadie Frost from for a long time was when she was married to Jude Law lol

[@m00nwa1ker]

You have to watch "Dracula - Dead And Loving It" such a great parody to this movie with Leslie Nielsen and Mel Brooks. Compared to parodies like Scary Movie it aged way better than them.

[@HobGungan]

Dead and Loving It is more a parody of the original 1931 Lugosi Dracula, but it has enough references to this one too that you need to see both.

[@paulinegallagher7821]

Amy Yasbeck was in that, and she also starred with Cary Elwes in Robin Hood: Men in Tights, who was also in Bram Stokers Dracula.

[@filmfangirls9163]

I love that movie!!

[@toddd.5581]

Roxy! What the actual f! I can't believe I haven't heard from u yet a recommendation of "interview with the vampire ' the series yet on Kristians show! I've seen you enjoy so many vampire shows and I know u will love it. Both of the two seasons have a 98% on rotten with audience and critics! 😘 Love you both thanks for the fun ❤️

[@LeslieEscobedo-sx7ee]

Bela Lugosi was famous for Dracula during the 1930's. Christopher Lee was very popular as Dracula during the 1960's and 1970's.

[@Vulcanerd]

Lol, the sequence of Tom Waits mentioning to Winona that his master is coming, John asking in what sense and Roxy's followup was one of the best segments of the video 😂

[@atti97]

One of the greatest vampire movie of all time and the best film adaptation for Stoker book.

[@japrats]

Now that you guys reacted to this, I NEED a reaction to 'Dracula Dead and Loving It' and 'Interview with the Vampire'! I am really loving this Vampire RonJoxy series! Keep em comin!

[@angelagraves865]

I love Tom Waits as Renfield. I also loved him as Doctor Heller. If you haven't seen Mystery Men (1999), starring everybody, I highly recommend it. It's one of a very few superhero movies worth watching.

[@YolandaAnneBrown95726]

What I really love about this adaptation is that we FINALLY see all 3 of Lucy's suitors from the novel. Elwes, Grant and Billy "The Rocketeer" Campbell were great choices.

[@charlesking8943]

Very good movie. Seeing it in the theater was intense. Yes, Dracula can turn into mist, wolf, other animals. Enchant people, control storms, he can be very powerful. This movie is close to the book. It’s a good movie.

[@RobynHoodeofSherwood]

The movie is very good but it isn't close to the book at all. Many things are changed or left out. I saw this in theaters and I did not like Anthony Hopkins portrayal of Van Helsing at all. It is beautifully costumed and designed, though.

[@charlesking8943]

@@RobynHoodeofSherwood I guess I was thinking of comparison to other movies takes on novels. I thought it had a lot of the elements of the book. Either way some of the scenes were too much for me, it had some dark things I could of done without. I did appreciate it though.

[@mlknox8566]

Hands down my favorite Vampire movie!!! ❤❤❤ Such a classic

[@bajaro3455]

Interview with the Vampire next please! Also if you want more fun young Richard E. Grant I suggest Hudson Hawk.

[@YolandaAnneBrown95726]

Or L.A. Story!

[@iwatchthings231]

Richard E Grant was awesome in Warlock. He plays this badass witch hunter guy who follows a male witch to the 90’s to kill him.

[@freemansteinslab]

Im so glad you enjoyed this...i absolutely love this movie! Along with IwtV, Buffy, Blade, Underworld, Subspecies and many others...it really helped create the vampire craze of the mid to late 90s. Also...another of Keanu's "Johns". Jonathan Harker...Johnny Utah...Johnny Mnemonic... Don John...John Constantine...John Wick...hell...even Jack Traven counts, since Jack is a form of John...

[@Bodanki]

This, lost boys and interview with a vampire are the vampire triumvirate for me. The three best vamp movies out there. Shout out to Near Dark too which is a decent one

[@SavageSquishy86]

One of the fables of Vampire lore, is Dracula able to shapeshift. Shadows, Animals like Bats, Rats, and Wolves. I think the aesthetic of his Human-Bat and Human-Wolf forms were for film vanity than anything else, but they were still good and awesome.

[@MarcusSinclair2]

Roxy and John are so professional and natural. Top tier reactors.

[@codyt821]

John definitely is

[@filmfangirls9163]

Yeah I love all the reactors but I'm always stoked when Roxy is apart of it. I love her commentary!!

[@TrojanRabbit521]

Around the time of this release I might have been an acid head. I had taken my girlfriend to Aladdin and the eyes of the Dracula poster followed me around the lobby. I knew I had to see this movie. Watching this masterpiece tripping balls was amazing! The green mist flowed into the theater and the shadow tricks, chefs kiss. I watch this movie every spooky season.
