BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA / Gary Oldman and Winona Ryder star in the tortured tale of a charismatic vampire, based on the tale of the Prince of Darkness. / Gary Oldman, Winona Ryder and Anthony Hopkins star in director Francis Ford Coppola's visually stunning, passionately seductive version of the classic Dracula legend. In BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA, Coppola returns to the original source of the Dracula myth, and from that gothic romance, he creates a modern masterpiece. Gary Oldman's metamorphosis as Dracula who grows from old to young, from man to beast is nothing short of amazing. Winona Ryder brings equal intensity to the role of a young beauty who becomes the object of Dracula's devastating desire. Anthony Hopkins co-stars as the famed doctor who dares to believe in Dracula, and then dares to confront him. Opulent, dazzling and utterly irresistible, this is Dracula as you've never seen him. And once you've seen BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA, you'll never forget it.

This is the best staging of Dracula at his castle I have ever seen. The way everything bends around Dracula's will, as if the castle was partially located within his mind…

[@countvolkihar566]

I couldn't have said better myself

[@AA-nw7hi]

Such an interesting insight. The castle can be considered a carachter (not to mention it acts way better than Keanu Reeves), so I'd say it reacts to Dracula like a servant would react to their master. Another way of reading it is that the castle represents the way the surrounding world reacts to Dracula's presence: through the movie is always underlined that he is a creature repelled by Nature herself, so I guess it would be a logic consequence.

The shot of his eye when he recognizes the cross is one of my favorite shots in the movie. Up until then he is poised as a civilized and reserved old man who even tempts himself with the taste of blood, but his true identity as a vicious member of the undead came forward when he recognized the gold emblem that represents his sworn mortal enemy. Brilliant creativity from Coppola.

[@24nov67]

@lofwyr5063 the sounds are supposed to be the wailing of the tormented souls of those Dracula had put to death over the centuries trapped within the castle. you can also hear them at the start of the film when Dracula greets him for the first time at the entrance to the castle, almost as if warning him to go back and not to enter the castle.

However this same year was private Idaho which he was really good in. So he definitely has the capabilities which just makes me think there was some other factor.

Esta película de Drácula es insuperable, por varias razones: Ninguna otra es tan oscura. Ninguna tiene un castillo tan tenebroso y fascinante al mismo tiempo. Ninguna otra tiene una música tan evocadora y encantadora. Ninguna otra tiene un Drácula tan elaborado (Gary tuvo que hacer tres Dráculas distintos. Uno, fiel a la iglesia primero. El segundo, uno ya entregado al mal. Y el tercero, el Drácula completo una vez que se encuentra con Mina). Ninguna otra tiene la intro apócrifa (prólogo) más genial de cualquier libro que se haya escrito. Coppola (en realidadJames V. Hart), da una razón a todo lo que Drácula representa, y tranquilamente pudo ser parte de la novela original. Hay cantidad de escenas que son memorables. Por ejemplo el prólogo, que en vez de ser explícita, la guerra se muestra de manera teatral. Es de apabullante belleza. El ritual de la absenta con toques de ASMR es otra genialidad de Coppola. El cine como novedad de su tiempo. No es perfecta. Para serlo, debería salir una versión "Director's Cut" incluyendo más escenas del castillo, pues esas imágenes están filmadas. Una pena que no se incluyeran. No me canso de verla.
