What makes Gary Oldman's Dracula performance great is that he had so many facets to his character. He could be a brutal and cruel old vampire lord, but also a charming young man in love. You can tell that he misses mortality and regrets becoming a night creature.
his own curse started to take over and he nearly killed his one true love... imagine how hard that was to control... his sense of love isn't like that of a man anymore so its tied in to his lust for blood like a serial killer getting an arousal during a murder... i was moved by this scene
I still don understand why dracula been consider as pure evil villain, while here he was more of anti villain (tragic/fallen hero) and also look like phnatom of the opera
@@1406-u7q in the book he was portrayed as more of a villain, and a bit more animalistic if that helps. The romance part was really hyped up for the movie.

This film is spellbinding. The most devastating and gothic film I’ve ever sat through. Firmly in my upper echelon. Quite the feat considering another of Coppola’s visions, “Apocalypse: Now”..shares its company.
Bela Lugosi was the best dramatic Dracula. Christopher Lee was the beastly best Dracula. But Oldman was the all-round Dracula: Charismatic, Sexy, Evil and above all DEMONIC.
Frank Langella played the same Dracula as Bela Lugosi (both films are adaptations of the same stage adaptation of the novel) better than Bela Lugosi if you take the nostalgia goggles off.
strigoi - romanian for troubled spirits who can basically shape-shift, and other qualities - dracula would have had command over these types of creatures - apparently they are also the origin of vampires in this culture - second word is moloi, or moroi - moloi meaning ghost-type creature, and moroi roughly meaning cousin to werewolves
According to Urban Dictionary, Strigoi and Moroi are the same thing, just from different areas. . I never thought about what he was saying until I saw Vampire Academy, some years later. This movie is one of the best storylines, cast, and probably several other categories.
I just love this Dracula more than the others at least Gary Oldman's Dracula was....in a way pure still pure evil but purely filled with love when it came to Mina the reincarnated of his lost bride
The first thing Dracula said when he commanded the white wolf sounded like 'Strygoi', which in Romanian mythology are troubled spirits who can shapeshift into animals, among other powers. Not sure if this was intentional on the writers' part to reference the strigoi-vampire connection, but if it was, then they did great
I think bram Stoker's Dracula starring Gary Oldman is one brilliant film and l wish Netflix would put this great movie back on again please Netflix consider putting this great movie back on again everyone loves it 👍👍👍 👍👍
I wonder what Mina did after all of this? Stoker couldn't imagine her as anything other than a future wife and mother, but Movie Mina is very different now.
omg i luv u...lol that was another awesome performance..and in a deleted scene Drexl kills the shepard dog in that hotel drug deal scene in true romance...glad they cut it out cuz he already delivered a killer performance and we already know he was evil greedy and selfish
@fizzy He detected the presence of the wolf. It was probably a familiar or some kindred spirit. Someone identified two words he spoke in another post and gave the definitions of them.
There's buried treasure around the castle which is illuminated by blue flame in the books and the beginning of the film. He could dig it up throughout the ages.
It's fairly obvious that he's controlling the wolf to make it friendly. You can disagree with me if you choose to, but it's just Some vampires in fiction can control other creatures minds and thoughts so that should explain it.

gary oldman is an excellent, versatile actor.
Yeah he is, and I can't recognize him in any movie. It's like magic or something. He's the physical version of a voice actor.
He isn’t always mentioned among the top actors, but he is certainly one of the very best.
Simply the most complete actor
makes a great Pimp also

Sometimes I miss her being with Johnny Depp I can’t get over how he was 27 and she was 19 at the time while being in Edward Scissorhands

Gary Oldman what a great actor
Gary Oldman is a shape shifter; he appears different in every film.
Master of accents too
I also said "i crossed an ocean of time to find you" ... At my last starbucs date... Didn't work out the same way. Maybe it's about the hat?
And the spectacles....next time try the line while wearing the hat and spectacles. 🧛♂️
The hair style was crucial in my opinion.
😂
A monacle would work as well
Don’t forget the suits and strange accent.
There *is* much to be learned from’beasts’.
i have crossed oceans of time to find you.
What a beautiful score it’s sheer genius.
Its by Polish composer Wojciech Kilar.
With nods to Bartok and Kodaly. Truly, the music made that scene as much as anything.
It is clearly evident that Mina was Dracula's biggest weakness
Love ultimately conquers the beast.
hottest Dracula ever
This and Van helsing with Hugh jackman is my favorite Dracula movies
Got tears to my fangs...
I wonder what Mina did after all of this? Stoker couldn't imagine her as anything other than a future wife and mother, but Movie Mina is very different now.
I played the wolf beast in this scene. It was one of my best gigs!
Mina is sooo beautiful here...
Winona Ryder face ... lord have mercy.
1st time i ever heard the word STRIGOI way before The Strain...
One of the greatest scene film ever

I remember this scene so clearly from childhood. I loved this part. Ugh I wish I could pet wolves
Dogs are actually domesticated wolves...
Pet a dog
The music is so beautiful
I bet filmmakers love this kind of story because it allows so much bending of the rules.
Gary Oldman looks a bit like Johnny Depp here
From beast to beast a word is but a command.
Wonderful scene
The biggest trauma for me at the time but such a beautiful movie 🧛♂️🧛♂️🧛♂️
He looks so cool in that outfit..
The wolf what a beautiful but can be a deadly creature
She submits to him so easily
So would I.
its one power dracula has and his concumbine women too they seduce easily and theres a special allure
@@kimmyfreak200 Indeed - they do the same to Reeve's character earlier in the film, using sex to seduce him only so they could feed on him.
If vampires looked and acted like the way he did here, then I'd gladly run away with him. Couldn't blame her in the slightest.
Is it the hissing?
So is she his first wife reincarnated?
Indeed she is… but she doesn’t know it yet.
The best Dracula
Esse filme é.muito bom!!! Acho o melhor!!!!😊
the King and Queens :)))
King and Queens. No sharing.
Ever notice how his fangs differ from his young form and old form, his brides fangs are different too
The fangs growing...how the fuck did they do that?
It's dentures with special springs that push down the plastic fangs, you can actually buy them from eBay.
@@KingsWorld2015 Love that you know your fangs.

He said he crossed oceans, but surely he only needed to cross the English Channel which is 22 miles at its narrowest.
I believe he said, “oceans of time to find her”. Much more difficult to accomplish.
@@themermaidstale5008 you're right, I just watched the clip again.
Music from Dracula and Mina's scenes resembles me the music from "Leon".

Nah.
I think besides Gary Oldman, Johnny Depp is also suitable to role as Dracula.
hence in the movie called Dark Shadows Depp was playing a vampire character.
I don't quite understand. It looks as if he was going to bite her then changed his mind. Why did he change his mind?
@fizzy He detected the presence of the wolf. It was probably a familiar or some kindred spirit. Someone identified two words he spoke in another post and gave the definitions of them.
How the hell did Dracula make all that money if he sleeps all day?
Property value going up. He bought shit tons of good assets over the years.
There's buried treasure around the castle which is illuminated by blue flame in the books and the beginning of the film. He could dig it up throughout the ages.
