The Making of Bram Stoker's Dracula "Bloodlines" - part 3

[@VampireBat-q1t]

Correction: This IS one of the most brilliant vampire movies. Some critics even dare to say it's the best of all vampire movies that've ever been made.

[@johnanton3064]

The vampire genera audience is a tough crowd to satisfy. No critic can make the call you give them credit for. Critics are a useless bunch when it comes to horror an sci fi//fantasy. They'll call a high grossing film of this kind a badly written piece of schlap. While the productions talents laugh all the way to the bank. Horror and sci fi fans dont care a bout art ...all we want is to be entertained by our fav production studios.

[@QuantumologyUK]

I agree. I've watched it a hundred times and could watch a hundred more without tiring of it.

Damn when egos clash. Case in point. Oldman and Coppola. Talk about clash of the titans lol

[@kaguth]

Well, I think Gary and Francis came to an agreement about that scene that worked really well. Gary in the bat suit scared the crap out of me when I saw it as a kid.

[@D00R]

thats why most movies suck now a days theirs not enough smart artistic actors that challenge the scene and collaborate to create something memorable. that scene when Oldman is the bat is Awesome!! one of the best scenes that almost wasn't there, its cool he fought for something more for that scene and they ended up with that.

[@dinodisneylover1]

I heard what there are some people didn't like the movie for certain reasons. Screw them. This movie is a true masterpiece. The cast is great, it has everything that needs and suppose to be in a vampire movie and it totally deserved the oscars and other prizes they've won. I'm even a fan of the classic Dracula movie with Bela Lugosi. Christopher Lee's good too. And, of course, I loved Richard Roxburgh's portrayal in Van Helsing.

[@mjmaestro13]

They don't do movies like this anymore...and it hurts so Goddamn much!!!:((

[@johnanton3064]

oh bull shit.....sure they do.....the horror genera as well as the the super hero movie genera are both alive and well. They cant make great ones like this every time a script is written or we we have nothing to compare it to.

there's a level where one can mix romance & sex with a vampire movie and this one defines the exact match.

[@lenaflute571]

As a kid I used to have nightmares every time this movie was on tv. I remember I didn't even watch my favourite programms cause I was afraid that the advert of the movie will pop out. Now at 35 I love the movie. And I am in love with Gary Oldman.

[@BigTimeShowdown]

Wow... I always found this grave-scene with Sadie Frost the most intriguing one in the whole picture...I always sensed the kid was really scared regarding her body language... thats not acting (LOL).. It is really one of my all time favorite movies...I dont know why people always bash on Keanu..he played it well... but yeah he could not have replaced Gary Oldman...

[@jvhart]

what a rush to revisit this experience after all these years. Thank you FFC.

[@ronartest8638]

young oldman was wild as hell💯

[@cutelittledoll]

Yea, because he was knocking back the booze big time.

[@QuantumologyUK]

I've seen Gary Oldman in lots of stuff - loved him as Sirius Black, brilliant as Churchill, but not in any have I found him to be sexy like he is in this. Winona is stunning too. Never mind, Keanu, you have Neo under your belt. This is undoubtedly the best vampire movie that could ever be made and it will never be defeated.

[@dinodisneylover1]

Coppola has such great vision for what he wants in a movie that's based on a novel. That's what makes a movie director amazing. I also loved how he tried to calm the kid and played a little with her.

[@stephaniestanley8041]

So many profound statements about love that hit home and my heart. Francis and Oldham captured on film what Stoker wrote: a gothic romance!

I thought this was one of the most brilliant vampire movies. Twilight looks like chicken feed compare to this.

[@johnanton3064]

Dont you think Twilight should be measured with different medium ? After all Twilight was written for a much younger and I think more girlish audience.

[@Gangrel442003]

Twilight is a steaming bowl of shit next to this Masterpiece of Cinema. Dracula is the measure in which all vampire stories are judged. And Twilight, and the novels that the movies are based from doesn't even come close....

[@KathyWarner]

I've read the book twice to get over my fear of vampires, strangely enough, and yes, they changed a few small things, but I think it made the movie better.

[@AllIsWellaus]

That child was really distressed. Yeah I found it uneasy.

[@denitzilla]

Yes!!!! I was about to comment on that. Why couldn't they use a doll and just take shots of the living child? Of course that was another time.

[@carolinebarrett4736]

Hard to watch alright 🥺

[@MissB2483]

She clearly was ok. She eventually calmed down when the actress was holding her when the were shooting the scene. And even after when she dropped her into her mother's arms & she started smiling.

[@showhiminbailey]

Stunning. Thanks for uploading.

[@ScyllaWyrm]

This reminds me of someone asking the actress who played Newt in Aliens if filming that movie was a scary experience for her, to which she replied that the aliens were her on-set friends just wearing masks and suits, so it couldn't be scary or stressful. Of course age is a factor here, but it's interesting to see the lengths they went through to make the small child comfortable on Lucy's tomb set of Bram Stoker's Dracula. There was even an audience consisting of, I would imagine, family members and professionals, to oversee the process.

[@carolinavilla2902]

I love this Dracula!!!!!!!!

[@monjiaitaly]

i love gary oldman, I hope he is doing well these days :)

[@GoldenGardenias]

@JeanVe I think you missed something... They were trying to calm the kid down, they were trying to show him or her not to be afraid, it was just make-up. When you film with small children, there is always a social worker on set to make sure you are not causing any mental or physical harm.

[@ktoth29]

It’s interesting because Anthony Hopkins used to be Gary Oldman, and had only recently mellowed out… Gary Oldman has since become mellowed out Anthony Hopkins and Keanu has always been mellow.

[@jamminjoe44]

@Stephen Pike ... You are entitled to your opinion. Spare us all your hate for the film please!! Gary Oldman did respect Coppola, as he himself mentioned in this segment. He understood what an awesome director he is, and thought it was good that they didn't see eye to eye on everything .. So you didn't like the movie, good for you. There are plenty of us that loved it!! So take your hate somewhere else like a good troll!!

[@robertherrick6703]

That kid wasn't really upset. It was just method acting.

[@vik_body_beld7294]

Coppola brings the best out of these guys, they compliment each other, he is ace director and they are ace actors. Beauty . No wonder God father is #1 or #2 of all movies, of all generations, of all languages. Too much detail , rich extragavent costumes. This dracul is the best most creative potrayal of vampires. Scary too, without much gore and mindless blood scenes and sounds. Pleasant music complements the non scary scenes. Just the trailer can be watched a dozen times. Quotes were great too, like the Count says 'i have crossed oceans of time to meet you '. Van Helsing behavior and way of talking , pronunciation of words is comical and done in true style and finesse.

[@lilliedoubleyou3865]

An ego the size of San Francisco, huh? Maybe it's how they edited it, but FFC doesn't seem to have a big ego at all - seems very reasonable and gracious. I don't think someone with an ego the size of San Francisco would've personally calmed down a screaming toddler!

[@lava3475]

Gary Oldman is mesmerizing !

[@VampireBat-q1t]

Mostly, kids in horror movies don't really realize what kind of film they're acting in. They just act in some scenes and then can go and play. Actually, the actors etc. try to make it as funny for the kid as it can be. Also, there are many films/scenes with children that are darker than this. And also, sometimes real life is more terrible than any film scene that has ever been made. The kid will witness much more terrible things than acting in this one scene.

[@stevie68a]

The only movie I ever bought on disc, for the bonus scenes. One of my all time favorites. The bat makeup was brilliant, and the way he turned into rats. If I met Coppola, I'd ask him, "how did you contain the rats once they ran from the room"? Just having one left behind if pregnant would have infested the studio. I'm 69, so I've seen many movies in my lifetime and am very hard to please. This one did it for me. BTW, this is just before cgi, which makes it that much more impressive.

Yes, the production was done painstakingly but the end result is one of my favorite movies in any genre. The bonus stuff on the dvd is great. All the antiquated filmmaking techniques-absolutely fascinating. Coppola is without a doubt a true auteur.

[@MrBryBZ]

If you haven't had kids yet, it is easy to gloss over this scene, watch it from the point of view of the adults. "Oh for crying out loud the child actor is being so difficult, get on with it!" As a young fan of this film, I certainly used to watch this behind-the-scenes footage that way. ...But now I'm older, and recently had a baby girl. And now, I watch this same footage and I cannot even begin to comprehend the mindset of a mother who would put her own little baby girl through this, if the child is clearly upset by it, as this one obviously is. Or the filmmakers who would allow it. This is impossible to explain to anyone who has not had children yet. But once you do, it changes you. Your little child becomes the most precious thing in the world to you, and you feel so protective of it. You can't stand to see it cry, even over something trivial. So, how the mother of the child actor can stand by and let this happen strikes me as nothing less than sociopathic. I'm also amazed Coppola, a family man with a daughter, wouldn't sympathize with the child and put a stop to it. ...I still love this movie, and I understand there are big concerns like schedule, budget, etc... but even so... It's very difficult for an older, wiser me to watch this clip without thinking, "shame on all of them".
