Director Francis Ford Coppola, praised Gary Oldman's acting genius throughout the movie; especially, the licking of the blood on the shaving blade, which he emphasized was purely Oldman's creation...I love this movie...
i think however they should have used the voice of a romanian actor for the scenes where dracula speaks romanian. im sure gary oldman butchered whatever he said in romanian. i hate they still keep doing that in other movies.
"Do you believe in destiny? That even the powers of time can be altered for a single purpose? The luckiest man who walks on this earth is the one who finds...true love."
Imagine if other people answered mundane questions the way Dracula did. "Sir, do you think these stocks will increase enough in value over the next five years?" "Fate is what unites every man to his one truth." "Uh, we're talking about the stock market, sir." "...And time makes a mockery of our mightiest achievements..."
So creepy damn yay I remembered this film in the 90's nobody can create again this version remarkably & astonishingly outstanding thank you for sharing😍👍👌👏👏👏👏
Started reading the book a week ago and so far this movie is the same as the book right down to Dracula's hair missing at the temples. However, he does have a mustouche in the book. . . . . Coincidently, Bram Stoker died 100 years ago today - 20th April 1912 and came from my hometown, Dublin, Ireland. Proud to have him as an Irishman whose work is known the world over! . . . Great movie by the way. Gary Oldman really nails Dracula!
One thing i cant stand is stupid people s idiotic comments. I will not even compare this movie with other vampire shits out there. This movie is so majestic that niothing comes close. Garry Oldman s performance one of the best that world has ever seen.
This scene nails it for me. I wrote Dracula's words on a card, the ones he speaks once he see's Mina's picture. I had this kind of love. Destiny. He died, and at best, my life is misery.
@@Andyscobie I saw this when it came out - the marketing for it was as a sort of Dracula version for Generation X, and this was in part why Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder were in it.
What hairy palms Dracula has...I have read the book so I know they're supposed to be hairy, but watching this movie again recently, I can't help but think, four centuries living in a castle with three women, Dracula can't be THAT lonely...
Always thought Jonathan Harker was quite the card board character even in the book. I feel that Keanu played him perfectly. Now if his acting like that was on purpose, cool but if not, damn.
Y'know, you can put Gary Oldman in the goofiest makeup and/or costumes, but lemme tell ya - that man can still pull one HELL of an emotional performance.
Still the best Dracula film and will always be one of my favourite films.. I remember seeing this when it came out in the cinema and it has such great memories attached to when I seen it with friends.
To be fair, though, Keanu himself knew he was awful - if you watch interviews with him, he's the worst critic of his performance here. He was at the height of his popularity in 1992, had been doing movies back to back, and despite working with a dialogue coach, just didn't have time to master the English accent. He was crap and he knew it, but to his credit, he kept going annd did what he could with what he had (which he admits himself, wasn't much) If you watch Much Ado About Nothing, filmed 13 months later, where he again had to do an English accent, his accent is much better as he had time to master it.
He created the film using artistic talents, amazing use of light tricks like the shadows doing different things to the ones who cast them, invoking imagery like blood red sundowns - no CGI no need for CGI.
@Shyguy825 Do your research! Gary Oldman worked for months to get the accent correct fr the region from which count Dracula comes. Oldman is Britain's finest and most hard-working and intelligent actor.
Do you believe in destiny? That even the powers of time can be altered for a single purpose? That the luckiest man who walks on this earth is the one who finds... true love? (L)
If you just started reading the book, then I suggest you read on. You will soon discover that this movie becomes nothing like the book. There is no love story between Mina Harker and Dracula at all. All of the Mina/Dracula scenes in this movie are an invention of the filmmakers and are nowhere in Bram Stoker's novel. The truth is, Dracula is not the protagonist of Bram Stoker's book any more than Jay Gatsby is the protagonist of The Great Gatsby. The book is about Jonathan and Mina, not Dracula.
0:28 Coppola has his shadow pose like that because it is the spitting image of Europe turned 90 degrees clockwise. Look on the map, the roads make it look like he’s holding a sickle (which is digging into the skull) and wings coming off the back. Europe IS a titanic winged Dracula of sorts. He holds a sickle (“Sicily”, which he’s used to dig into the skull that is Africa), and he has a wing, upon which rests the UK and IREland. The sickle was used to harvest the grapes (wine, veno, vine, VEINS...) and transplant those BLOOD CELLS to The east coast of North America...the Appalachian Mountains are named after the grapes...(see “appellation”).
O cara fez um filme Emmmmmm o Príncipe das Trevas num dos seus visuais emmmmmm o Dragão 🐉🐉🐉. A antiga Serpente emmmm CoopoLa perfeito profundo demais ok 👍
@TheSmmorela: No, normally they aren't reflected in mirrors...only if the mirror has silver. At least that's what I've heard. Why...I need to look back at my research.
I've read somewhere that Coppola originally wanted Johnny Depp for the role of Jonathan. Can you imagine how different scenes like this would have been if he actually got to cast who he wanted?
Depp might have been a better choice but he would've been panned for his accent. His "London" accent in From Hell was terrible. Unlike the King of Accents Oldman, some actors just don't have it in them.
there are things here and there i strongly dislike of this movie, but as a whole i think it is the best version to this day. the other two to me are the ones with louis jordan ( 1977 ) and the nosferatu ( 1922 )...i think the rest have been pure caricatures.
"and they say you are a man of good......taste" hahahaha Dracula does have a sense of humor i see.
He also doesn't drink ... wine.
😂
because he is already died..sorry dined

@Nicolae Iorga Why're you so fearful?
@@dekubaner I'm sure he did his best.
"Do you believe in destiny? That even the powers of time can be altered for a single purpose? The luckiest man who walks on this earth is the one who finds...true love."
The most romantic movie ever made. Brings me to my knees! His face when he sees Mina's picture.
Her picture stopped him in his tracks. Redirected the whole conversation
" time altered for a single purpose"...
Gives me goose bumps.
Anything is possible in love.
Shelkar where ar you from?
it's no bullshit I believe it happened that way for me.
The count shows his humanity in this scene
1:34 The luckiest man who walks on this Earth is the one who finds... true love :)
If only modern man believed this....to love so fully.
@@houseofzuma1033 We do but the majority of modern day women have been corrupted by the " teachings " of Lilith AKA the original vampire.
Imagine if other people answered mundane questions the way Dracula did.
"Sir, do you think these stocks will increase enough in value over the next five years?"
"Fate is what unites every man to his one truth."
"Uh, we're talking about the stock market, sir."
"...And time makes a mockery of our mightiest achievements..."
Gary Oldman delivered this scene superbly !!! Restless pain and sadness!
I can totally relate. When I met the love of my life, no doubt the powers of time were altered for that single purpose.
Dracula and Peter Pan have the cheekiest shadows ever!!!!!
Your memory is genius
Luis Meloni yeah
Luis Meloni ן
Luis Lizard apparently Peter Pan is a vampire lol
like the "lost boys"
This was the first time NEO was asked if he believed in destiny, the second time was 7 years after by Morpheus. Amazing.
+Martin Rodriguez Lol was the original version of the Matrix based on Victorian England with a vampire lord thrown in?
@@Crichjo32 No, it was Minecraft.
his character stay consistent I guess

“You found Mina. I though she was lost. Despite the fact that her daguerreotype was sitting open right there on the table.”
The greatest vampire movie ever made . All others after this were just pop corn money grabs .
1:48 I crack up every time his shadow chokes him
I know that Keanu's acting is bad but there's no need to kill him...yet.
For those that have not yet read Brams Stokers novel this is its most faithful adaptation. One of Coppola’s most under rated master pieces.
"They say you are a man of good... taste." His delivery of the line is a perfect example of sinister gallows humour, with a hint of sadness.
One of the best Dracula movies ever made,the older ones are good but Bram Stoker's is my favorite..
I have watched this movie over hundred times
The luckiest man that walks this Earth is the one that finds True Love....
Gary Oldham the greatest actor of our time
E olha q faz anos q vi esse filme é não esqueci até hj!!!! Muito bom!!! Excelente maravilhoso;!!!!
She died, but it was still a better love story than Twilight.
lol...a meme made strangely relevant again via context.
Twilight was for tweens.
The man is a genious! Heading for the oscar this year . You deserve it Mr Oldman!!
So happy he finally won an Oscar. Long overdue
Gary Oldman is magic in so many movies but this and León the professional are his finest hours
i think this is my favorite scene of the film
A Woman that has ever stopped you dead in your tracks.....Makes the heart stop.
This scene nails it for me. I wrote Dracula's words on a card, the ones he speaks once he see's Mina's picture. I had this kind of love. Destiny. He died, and at best, my life is misery.
I love how visually clever this film is.
Yep. Even Gary Oldman's shadow is a better actor than Keanu Reeves.
So much so that the shadow was actively trying to kill him.
@@jbvader721 hahahahahahahhh
KR was cast in that movie as he was one of the heartthrobs of his day
@@Andyscobie I saw this when it came out - the marketing for it was as a sort of Dracula version for Generation X, and this was in part why Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder were in it.
una delle performance più incredibili dello straordinario Gary Oldman e uno dei personaggi che preferisco della storia del cinema!!!
What hairy palms Dracula has...I have read the book so I know they're supposed to be hairy, but watching this movie again recently, I can't help but think, four centuries living in a castle with three women, Dracula can't be THAT lonely...

That red color is so good
Y'know, you can put Gary Oldman in the goofiest makeup and/or costumes, but lemme tell ya - that man can still pull one HELL of an emotional performance.
He becomes his characters. Very emotionally invested in whatever film he's in.
Still the best Dracula film and will always be one of my favourite films.. I remember seeing this when it came out in the cinema and it has such great memories attached to when I seen it with friends.
you know us Brits...always polite!
Harker "Are you married count?"
Drac " I woz married once she died"
Harker " ow...... wait she?"
Dracula's shadow must have been reading my mind. God Keanu was atrocious in this.
To be fair, though, Keanu himself knew he was awful - if you watch interviews with him, he's the worst critic of his performance here. He was at the height of his popularity in 1992, had been doing movies back to back, and despite working with a dialogue coach, just didn't have time to master the English accent.

i love this scene. i traveled oceans of time to find you
I love all of Dracula's little inside jokes that are found in many different adaptations.
@Shyguy825 Do your research! Gary Oldman worked for months to get the accent correct fr the region from which count Dracula comes. Oldman is Britain's finest and most hard-working and intelligent actor.
Very surprised that Johnathan Harker did not freak out from the shadow or the other things that happened while there.
Is it just me, or is 1:01, the very moment when Dracula realizes what he must do, basically forcing the actual plot of the movie.
So he spills ink on a Photograph and just closes the damn frame without trying to clean it?
" do you believe in destiny ?"
Do you believe in destiny? That even the powers of time can be altered for a single purpose? That the luckiest man who walks on this earth is the one who finds... true love? (L)

Makes you feel kinda sorry for the guy, doesn't it?
not being flippant but I feel his pain
"A man of good taste", lol...
Beautiful
Even Dracula thought Mina could do better 😭
I was waiting for his shadow to make a bird and a bunny.

gary deserves a oscar with his awesome action in this movie!
He can move faster than the human eye can detect, I believe.
He appears to knock over the inkwell without touching it at all.
I thought the count was gonna start doing shadow puppets on the wall. This scene was almost comical.
I don't know. By the way, I also like "Twilight", but "Bram Stoker's Dracula" still is my favourite film :)
Who disliked this, a Twilight fanboy/fangirl?
one of my favourite scenes
I... i was married once... ages ago it seems... she died. I felt so bad for Count in this 💯
Bad actor vs great actor. I love Oldmans Dracula.
Neo´s beginnings. Now he´s apex with John Wick.
I just love the Gothic atmosphere
So...the count is just....lonely?
thats the theme.
hes got those sexy girls tho...
@@slalQhd But they're empty, soul-less.
@@PolarBear-rc4ks imagine ugly girl with beautiful soul..

Well, there's one thing here that puzzles me. Why does Dracula have a shadow? I thought vampires didn't cast shadows.
