    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 -

      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.

    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.

      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
      @BirdBrain0815 6 месяцев назад +1

      ⁠​⁠@@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.)

      @@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.

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.

    Winona Ryder has a running joke that she and Keanu Reeves are legitimately married in the eyes of the Orthodox Church, because that was a real Orthodox priest who was doing the wedding scene with them, and I believe she said that they went through the whole ceremony.
    Renfield is played by a singer, Tom Waits, who uses that raspy voice of his for blues. “Ol’ 55,” “Time,” “I Don’t Wanna Fall in Love With You,” and “God’s Away on Business” are some of his songs that I remember off the top of my head.

    "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.

    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. Even the part where the coachman reaches out to Jonathan is all done practically.

    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.

    The scene where Anthony briefly dances with Winona and spins her around, it was very hard for Winona not to laugh. I saw behind the scenes practice shoots where the actors were wearing modern clothes, and for every take Winona laughed.

    My favorite version of Dracula is a BBC production from the late 70s with the great French actor Louis Jourdan in the role.

    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.

  • @williamrosmer8381

    in most vampire mythology the bite is supposed to feel pleasurable. also the book doesn't delve as much into the love story with dracula and mina. he's into her but it's more the monster wants something not that she's the reborn version of his one true love.

    There is a scene in this movie where a whole bunch of people are getting together to figure out what they should do about Dracula and if you watch the cowboy dude is standing by a chair and he's holding his hat in his hand but the camera Cuts away to somebody else and then it cuts back and he no longer has the Hat in his hand and the person sitting in the chair stands up and picks up his crushed hat and says oh no I was sitting on your hat. When are the biggest continuity errors that I've seen in a movie and there's lots of errors and a lot of movies but once you see this one you cannot unsee it

    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.

    Can you watch Dracula: Dead and Loving It! It draws its inspiration from this movie. And, especially since you like "What We Do in the Shadows," I think you will appreciate the movie. Schooner is pronounced Skooner. It was a very common kind of sailing ship with at least 2 masts (poles for the sails). It was the kind of ship used to transport people across the oceans.

  • @drusillathetinsmith
    @drusillathetinsmith 6 месяцев назад

    The original book wasn't necessarily a love story, it's more of a chase. It was a collection of fictional letters and diary entries written by different characters at different stages of the story. It's still exciting and scary on its own. Mina was just someone Dracula targeted out of convenience (and out of lust). There's an allegory that can be read about sexually transmitted disease in the work. The love story angle works well enough to keep the story centered on Mina, Dracula, and Jonathan Harker. This was an all-time favorite movie of mine. I saw it at least 15 times in the year it came out. I had memorized every character's lines, and annoyed my friends by quoting from it every day. :)
    Now that you've seen it, I'd recommend watching "Dracula Dead and Loving It" --the comedy parody by Mel Brooks.

    • @Ulysses-is5qd
      @Ulysses-is5qd 5 месяцев назад +1

      This love story is complete bullshit.
      The book is great because it has some similarities with the odyssey, where Jonathan seeks to protect mine from Draxula as Ulysses protects Penelope from the suitors who harassed her.
      It comes with that idea of protecting those we love.
      Remembering that Mina Haker's prototype is Florence Balcombe, Bram Stoker's wife. Whose behavior resembles that of the character in the book.
      Great classics have many qualities in common that this film does not have.

    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. I know you will dig it.
    Two vampire flicks that not enough people talk about are The Addiction from 1995 and The Transfiguration from 2016. Both brilliant.

    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.

    Another fun film with the more ornate language, costume, and violence is Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Not as naughty as this Dracula, but does have some playful banter.
    Also has the advantage of being rarely reacted to.
