*sigh*... I love this movie so much. gives me heartache every time.
I'm turning 17 in about 2 weeks, thus I am old enough to buy R rated movies/explicit content CD's. my parents would never buy this for me, so this movie will be the first order of business. xD wish me luck..
Also I should mention I'm FINE with adapting something differently for originality and having seen more Dracula films than I can count, I've seen changes and some even have him as a tragic lover in some ways. However these changes were consistent and didn't sell themselves as the true story. They didn't just show Dracula laughing while giving his Brides a BABY to feed on, then proceed to have him crying purple tears. Also see Adjani and Bowker's takes on Mina. MUCH stronger characters than this.
Apparently Ive been going about it all wrong when it comes to romancing a woman. I never knew that to gain her love I had to be one of the Un-Dead, mess up her fiance, offer babies to my Un-dead brides, kill numerous people including her best friend (as well as change her into a monster that drinks the blood of children), and become a giant bat-demon. Seriously I always liked Oldman over Reeves as an actor, but characterwise, I wouldn't take the murderous bloodsucker if I were her.
I'm sorry I couldn't understand what you just said at all. It'd help if you were speaking in complete sentences.
It's not so much the romance, but the way they do it that gets me. In the Jack Palance version for example they kept it more as a memory of Dracula's and gave him some inner pain, but kept him a true villain. They did it right in that. I like the movie in some parts, but scenes like this were very out of place. Also they sell this as completely true to the book.

I also loved the scene in the theatre when he's getting ready to take her right there. She's all freakin but he doesn't give a #@*^! He says, "I have crossed oceans of time to find you'. Oh so very hot... This is Dracula at his finest. I will probably never watch another. There's just no point!!

@MessengeroftheNight If you look at the making of features on the DVD you can see that Oldman and Coppola don't get along sometimes, getting angry at each other. Winona said that Gary was "too intense", and Gary was suffering from alcohol problems at the time, too. Things just got a bit too chaotic but they are fine with each other now (i hope anyway!)
Yes so much passion and intensity, every encounter of Mina and Dracula is fantastic in this movie, i remember the first encounter in the city, Gary in his gray suit, nice !!
This movie really makes you see Dracula's pitiable side, his lovable side. You really feel sorry for him, and hate Jonathan and his crew. God! why couldn't you let them have their star crossed love.
@fario64 Umm, because there was no star-crossed love in the novel? I'm glad you like this movie, but it's only a re-imagining of the novel written by your famous countryman, not an accurate reproduction of his actual story. There was no love story between Mina and Dracula in the book, and she and Jonathan were totally devoted to one another. The 1977 BBC version is much more faithful to the novel.
@44excalibur exactly, because the book (which I read) doesn't let you see Dracula's point of view at all, except at one point when he tells everyone biting Mina to turn her into a vampire is his revenge for them trying to destroy him. This version, I think, is more believable, in a way. Would Dracula really be caught like he was in the novel? I think he would be smarter than that. In this movie, he is madly in love, so he has an excuse for messing up. Plus, I like romance :) , no matter how sad.
@fario64 The book doesn't tell the story from Dracula's point of view because it isn't about him. Stoker's romantic protagonists are clearly Jonathan and Mina, as their journal entries make up the majority of the novel. I don't think this version is any more believable becuase it makes Mina's behavior rather contradictory. And he was caught in the movie in much the same way, Coppola just changed the circumstances of his death. Btw, the real Dracula had 3 wives, none of whom were named Elizabeta.
@44excalibur hmmm, I see your point. But is doesn't change the fact that I prefer Coppola's interpretation. I think having a more personal connection between Dracula and the gang really ties the story together. But that's just me :)
@fario64 That's okay. Everyone has their preferences. This is a re-imagining so it's not really the same story, but if you like it that's cool. Mine's the 1977 BBC version and some of the Hammer stuff. No offense, but Keanu Reeves in this one.....well...he's just...awful. lol But Gary oldman is great.
look at how cute Winona is with her big brown eyes and long dark hair, if twilight was made in the 90's she would have been a great Bella and Johnny Depp would have been a great Edward
@Buzz0Killington I don't think they did. I do know that Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder dated for some time, and were actually engaged. As you can plainly see that didn't work out so well. But still, it wouldn't surprise me if Gary and Winona DID date.
Excellent movie. One of my favorites, they couldn't of found better actors. This is a REAL love/vampire movie. Too bad the movie industry doesn't got the Skill they use to have. Seems like the movies of the 90s were so much better then the shit they are coming up with now. I mean the special effects kick ass... but the story lines suck!
One of my all time favorite movie hugs, starting right there at about 5:55. I don't consider myself a major fan of Gary Oldman, but he was *excellent* in this. Wonderful soundtrack, too.
Well, I have read the book and I really liked it too; it is quite different though! But I still like the movie and I like what they added; the sublime, mysterious and undying love! Well, everyone has different tastes 44excalibur, so I respect yours! Twilight may have respected its source materials, but because of that, that does mean that it's better; well, at least for my own taste. But, this is just my judgement and I still enjoyed Bram Stoker's Dracula better than Twilight!
@Scorpiusgrl Thank you for your comment. I appreciate your fairness and respect your opinon. At least you have read the novel and respect the differences, unlike some youtubers. I just wish they make a faithful adaptation someday, that's all. And btw, you have to hit "reply" next to my comment if you want to respond to me, otherwise I can't get your message. The only reason I saw you is because I was browsing and just happened by this vid again. Have a nice day!
Twilight is mmm, not so good. Twilight is one of those movies where I already know what's gonna happen. It didn't surprise me, nor did it moved me! This movie is so much richer, it has depth, it's more realistic in a way.It;s way much darker, and the romance is sublime. Mysterious, from centuries ago, an undying love, sweet, highly erotic, emotional, so passionate,warm, cold, yet dark, dramatic. A combination that I quite enjoy!!!By the way, have any of you read the real story of Vlad Tepes?
@Scorpiusgrl Yes, I have read the real story of Vlad Tepes. Have you ever read the actual novel 'Dracula' by Bram Stoker? There is no "sublime," "mysterious," "undying love" between Mina and Dracula in the novel, and I really wish people would stop referring to this film as if it were canon. The only love story in Stoker's novel was between Mina and Jonathan, so in that sense, 'Twilight' at least respected its source material more than this film did.
There was no love story between Mina and Dracula in Bram Stoker's novel. The novel was about Jonathan and Mina. Their victory over the forces of evil shows that difficulties and challenges can be overcome by everybody. They are just as normal as we are. Jonathan and Mina's love story is very comforting, since they face challenges, suffer, and yet survive. Their letters display a whole range of emotions, which create a sharp contrast with Dracula's cold and distant character.
@jfallongirl222 If you read the book you woulnd't think so. It was a rape scene in the book. it was not romantic at all. Coppola totally messed up the story adding this unecessary and ill conceived love story.
@44excalibur if you read the history, all of this is messed up. the book, the movie. but then again, the movie is based on the book, it's not the exact reproduction.
@orthiss But 'Dracula' isn't supposed to be a biopic about Vlad Tepes Dracula. Bram Stoker only intened to tell a vampire story inspired by a concept developed by Lord Byron and Percy Shelly. Stoker based his story on that, as well as 'Varney The Vampire' and simply needed a character to act as the villain. He chose Vlad Dracula simply because it fit his needs. By manufacturing a romance between Mina and Dracula this movie disrespects Jonathan and Mina and misses the point of Stoker's story.
@44excalibur they wanted to add vlad the impaler in the movie so that people who never knew dracula was based on vlad will know when they watch the movie. i know u want every movie to be EXACTLY like the book but hey, if u make a movie the same as the book it would be dull. but i saw the 1977 dracula and it was pretty interesting. one of the only look-a-likes that are good. most lookalikes are dull. i hope u will understand what i mean.
@halloweenfriday I know what you mean, but I'm not talking about making it exactly like the book. I'm talking about putting in a romance between Dracula and Mina that should not be there because it stomps all over the Jonathan/Mina relationship that Stoker wrote. And Peter Jackson managed to make a pretty faithful version of 'The Lord Of The Rings' without changing much of the story at all, and it turned out to be very successful. He didn't make Arwen fall in love with Sauron instead of Aragorn.
@44excalibur I really believe the movie was made to sell out. people love romance and so the idea of a beauty and a beast was much more appealing to the public. course, this is my opinion. but I definitely understand why you find it disrespectful. I actually never liked the book as it's one thing to make up a character and another to take a ruler and twist and turn him into something, just because it suits his needs.
@orthiss As you're from Romania I can understand why you don't like Dracula to begin with. Thanks for your comments. The Beauty and the Beast thing really apalled me, since it turned what was supposed to be a horror classic into sappy romantic pulp. I honestly don't understand what people have against Jonathan and Mina's characters from the novel. In the book they're such a tragic, loving, romantic story, but in movies they get torn to shreds. Winona and Keanu were the worst portrayals ever.
@44excalibur a lot of people find it more simple to watch the movie rather than read the book and maybe because they don't fully understand Jonathan's relationship with Mina they have certain feelings about it. also, the idea of an evil creature being changed by 'the power of love' seems very fairytale, and so people want to pay for something breathtaking rather than something realistic. I'm actually from Transilvania and all of this is just over the top.
@orthiss Wow, you're from Transylvanina? Nice to meet you and thanks for the comments. :) I know someone from Bulgaria in the Montana district. I figured you wouldn't like the book or the movies disrespecting your country's history concerning Vlad Tepes. And I keep telling people that the Vlad/Elizabeta thing is made up by the filmakers and has nothing to do with Mina, but they don't get it. lol Take care!
@44excalibur indeed I am, yes. nice meeting you as well. I don't want to be misunderstood, the movie and the book are nice, if you look at them from a non-realistic point of view and without comparing them with each other or the reality. I really liked gary oldman (even though his Romanian sucked) in the movie. both the book and the movie are nice in their own way, leaving aside that the book did not respect much of the history and the movie didn't respect much of the book.
@orthiss Nahh, you're not misunderstood. I get what you're saying. :) It's fascinating to meet someone who's actually from that country and to hear your take on the history, as well as the movie and the novel. Thanks for the reply!
@mermaidd0lly They have to re-make this film because it is totally unfaithful to Bram Stoker's novel. I want a version that is true to the book, with no silly love story between Mina and Dracula.
@Severe777 You know, I have nothing against the Twilight saga or the actors, but I say the scene where he "sparkles" and I was DONE. "Skin of a killer", my ass. HE'S SPARKLING. I wonder how many takes it took to make that scene I would just die laughing every time I said that. Plus about the only main thing about that series is this love triangle. Maybe if it was better acting or better movie directing, I'd probably like it. IDK. This is one of my vampire movies along with the Blade Trilogy.
@KTBEverlasting Yea dude, I never even watched Twilight, but the people I know who did says it sucks. I watched the previews though, and that was enough to make me hurl. But I agree, the Blade series DID kick ass.
@Zuyuri There's nothing "true" about this scene. Coppolla changed this scene from how it was in the book. Bram Stoker's novel had Jonathan and Mina lying in bed together when Dracula invades their bedroom. He renders Jonathan unconscious and forces Mina to drink blood from his own chest, threatening to kill Jonathan if she doesn't. It's a rape scene, not a sex scene. 'Twilight' may have been silly, but at least it didn't try to change the story from the novel like this movie did.
@44excalibur also i watched hammer's dracula it said it was BASED ON THE BOOK although it LOOSELY BASED. dracula barely spoke in that movie. however i thought it was good and so does everyone else. i just wanted to tell u that not every movie has to be the same as the book. whether dracula doesn't talk or falls in love with mina, it's still great. twilight is different because ed has one emotion called love. dracula has many characteristics: anger, love, violent, creepy, scary, romantic. the end
@halloweenfriday Did you read my previous comment to you? And Hammer never put Bram Stoker's name above the title the way Coppola did, which was wrong. I don't expect every movie to be like the book, but I do expect the author's vision to be respected at least once on film, and 'Dracula' has never had a faithful film version that portrayed Jonathan and Mina correctly. Yes, the novel 'Dracula' had many characteristics, but the only romance was between Jonathan and Mina, not Dracula. The End.
The only reason why Coppola called it 'Bram Stoker's Dracula' was because the company that made the first Dracula movie had registered the rights to the title of 'Dracula'. He was going to name it simply 'D' to distinguish it, but he likes putting the author's names in front of the titles, if it's from a book.
@VirgiliaCoriolanus Yes, I know that Coppola was originally going to call it 'D'(and Universal is the studio that did the original.) Coppola doesn't always put the author's name in front of the titles. He did it with the 'Godfather' movies, but he didn't put S.E. Hinton's name in front of 'The Outsiders' and 'Rumble Fish.'
@BlackSwan254 Sorry, but that is not how this scene happened in the novel. Scroll down to my earlier posts to see excerpts of how this scene really happened in Bram Stoker's novel. It's a rape scene, it's not romantic at all.
God this movie is just an awesome one, indeed after watching it, every person would wish to have such true love and to be luckiest person of earth ...
@jobikr Let me guess, you never read Bram Stoker's novel; you don't know that 'Dracula' is supposed to be a horror story, not a romantic one; that Dracula was the villain; that Mina was never in love with Dracula in the book and was not his reincarnated wife; that she only loved Jonathan and they are nothing like you see in this movie; that Jonathan and Mina were completely devoted to each other and Stoker based on himself and his wife; that this movie is a slap in the face to fans of the novel.
@jobikr I understand, but I would imagine that if Hollywood changed 'Twilight' so that Bella ended up with Jacob in the movie and acted like she never loved Edward that fans of the books would be upset. Fans of the novel 'Dracula' are equally upset by what this movie did to Jonathan and Mina, as well as making Dracula a romantic hero. The difference is that 'Dracula' is a classic and 'Twilight' is not, and I would think that Bram Stoker deserves the same respect that Stephanie Meyer received.
@44excalibur Well, that's a right point you are talking about .
Actually, I recieved the novel of Dracula, but I began reading it, and it seemed for me after 100 of pages a little bit boring :/ Maybe becuase of the translation, cause I was reading in Russian ! lol .
Other books I've read were in English,
as well as Interview With The Vampire. Have you read/ seen it ? The movie is also a little bit wierd and dissapointing after reading the book !
@jobikr Well, the first part of the book is all from Jonathan Harker's Journal and his point of view. It's also the creepiest, eeriest part of the book since it all happens in Transylvania and sets the mood and tone of the story. Later, the story goes to Mina's Journal and her point of view, then to Lucy, and Dr. Seward, then back to Jonathan and Mina, and so on. I did read 'Interview With The Vampire' and saw the movie. The movie was kind of watered-down and uneven, and terribly miscast.
@linkinparkroxyoursox No, this is not the original Bella and Edward crap. Twilight may have had Vampires falling in love with humans, but Bram Stoker never did. there is no love story between Mina and Dracula at all in the novel! She was only in love with Jonathan. This movie is nothing like Stoker's novel and it's because of films like this that the vampire horror genre is nearly dead.
This is the best Vampire movie ever, even though Keanu Reeves can't act. He almost ruined it, but Oldman's performance outshines everything else. Ryder is good, too.
@SadiChanMagellan123 Because the filmakers changed the whole story which takes the scene out fo context. Read the passages I posted below and you'll see how the scene actaully happened in the novel. Mina and Jonathan were in bed together when Dracula invaded their room, knocked Jonathan out, and threatened to kill him if Mina didn't cooperate. Dracula bites her and then forces her to drink his blood to punish her and Jonathan for trying to stop him. That's why she says "unclean."
@SadiChanMagellan123 if you have never read the novel, let me explain something that might clear up any confusion you have about this scene. In the novel, there is no love story between Mina and Dracula. She's only in love with Jonathan. You should read the book to see the actual story.
According to legend, a Khazar Princess went to Vlad because he was famous for his God given healing touch (common amongst Euoropean Royalty), when she got there she found that Vlads court was very debauched and that Vlad had a penis so big that he used to tie one end of it to a Silken cord and the other end to a Chaffinch so it lead him about, flying his knob for all to see. Needless to say she spent the night with him and was found split in half the next mornning. 'The Impaler' name suits him!
@dortyhoor If you read the book you'll see that Mina talk about the "sleeping draught" that Van Helsing gave her before she went to bed. In other words, Mina was drugged as well. But regardless, the scene in the book is an attack on a husband and wife, not a romantic scene like the one depicted here.
cont. "When the blood began to spurt out, he took my hands in one of his, holding them tight, and with the other seized my neck and pressed my mouth to the wound, so that I must either suffocate or swallow some to the . . . Oh, my God! My God! What have I done? What have I done to deserve such a fate, I who have tried to walk in meekness and righteousness all my days. God pity me! Look down on a poor soul in worse than mortal peril. And in mercy pity those to whom she is dear!"
cont. 'You shall be avenged in turn, for not one of them but shall minister to your needs. But as yet you are to be punished for what you have done. You have aided in thwarting me. Now you shall come to my call.When my brain says "Come!" to you, you shall cross land or sea to do my bidding. And to that end this!' With that he pulled open his shirt, and with his long sharp nails opened a vein in his breast."
"I am Dracula."
Best vampire movie! Best scene!

This movie really makes you see Dracula's pitiable side, his lovable side. You really feel sorry for him, and hate Jonathan and his crew. God! why couldn't you let them have their star crossed love.
fario64 11 months ago
@fario64 Umm, because there was no star-crossed love in the novel? I'm glad you like this movie, but it's only a re-imagining of the novel written by your famous countryman, not an accurate reproduction of his actual story. There was no love story between Mina and Dracula in the book, and she and Jonathan were totally devoted to one another. The 1977 BBC version is much more faithful to the novel.
44excalibur 10 months ago
@44excalibur exactly, because the book (which I read) doesn't let you see Dracula's point of view at all, except at one point when he tells everyone biting Mina to turn her into a vampire is his revenge for them trying to destroy him. This version, I think, is more believable, in a way. Would Dracula really be caught like he was in the novel? I think he would be smarter than that. In this movie, he is madly in love, so he has an excuse for messing up. Plus, I like romance :) , no matter how sad.
fario64 10 months ago
@fario64 The book doesn't tell the story from Dracula's point of view because it isn't about him. Stoker's romantic protagonists are clearly Jonathan and Mina, as their journal entries make up the majority of the novel. I don't think this version is any more believable becuase it makes Mina's behavior rather contradictory. And he was caught in the movie in much the same way, Coppola just changed the circumstances of his death. Btw, the real Dracula had 3 wives, none of whom were named Elizabeta.
44excalibur 10 months ago
@44excalibur hmmm, I see your point. But is doesn't change the fact that I prefer Coppola's interpretation. I think having a more personal connection between Dracula and the gang really ties the story together. But that's just me :)
fario64 10 months ago
@fario64 That's okay. Everyone has their preferences. This is a re-imagining so it's not really the same story, but if you like it that's cool. Mine's the 1977 BBC version and some of the Hammer stuff. No offense, but Keanu Reeves in this one.....well...he's just...awful. lol But Gary oldman is great.

Well, I have read the book and I really liked it too; it is quite different though! But I still like the movie and I like what they added; the sublime, mysterious and undying love! Well, everyone has different tastes 44excalibur, so I respect yours! Twilight may have respected its source materials, but because of that, that does mean that it's better; well, at least for my own taste. But, this is just my judgement and I still enjoyed Bram Stoker's Dracula better than Twilight!

Twilight is mmm, not so good. Twilight is one of those movies where I already know what's gonna happen. It didn't surprise me, nor did it moved me! This movie is so much richer, it has depth, it's more realistic in a way.It;s way much darker, and the romance is sublime. Mysterious, from centuries ago, an undying love, sweet, highly erotic, emotional, so passionate,warm, cold, yet dark, dramatic. A combination that I quite enjoy!!!By the way, have any of you read the real story of Vlad Tepes?
Scorpiusgrl 1 year ago
@Scorpiusgrl Yes, I have read the real story of Vlad Tepes. Have you ever read the actual novel 'Dracula' by Bram Stoker? There is no "sublime," "mysterious," "undying love" between Mina and Dracula in the novel, and I really wish people would stop referring to this film as if it were canon. The only love story in Stoker's novel was between Mina and Jonathan, so in that sense, 'Twilight' at least respected its source material more than this film did.

There was no love story between Mina and Dracula in Bram Stoker's novel. The novel was about Jonathan and Mina. Their victory over the forces of evil shows that difficulties and challenges can be overcome by everybody. They are just as normal as we are. Jonathan and Mina's love story is very comforting, since they face challenges, suffer, and yet survive. Their letters display a whole range of emotions, which create a sharp contrast with Dracula's cold and distant character.

@44excalibur if you read the history, all of this is messed up. the book, the movie. but then again, the movie is based on the book, it's not the exact reproduction.
orthiss 1 year ago
@orthiss But 'Dracula' isn't supposed to be a biopic about Vlad Tepes Dracula. Bram Stoker only intened to tell a vampire story inspired by a concept developed by Lord Byron and Percy Shelly. Stoker based his story on that, as well as 'Varney The Vampire' and simply needed a character to act as the villain. He chose Vlad Dracula simply because it fit his needs. By manufacturing a romance between Mina and Dracula this movie disrespects Jonathan and Mina and misses the point of Stoker's story.
44excalibur 1 year ago
@44excalibur they wanted to add vlad the impaler in the movie so that people who never knew dracula was based on vlad will know when they watch the movie. i know u want every movie to be EXACTLY like the book but hey, if u make a movie the same as the book it would be dull. but i saw the 1977 dracula and it was pretty interesting. one of the only look-a-likes that are good. most lookalikes are dull. i hope u will understand what i mean.
halloweenfriday 1 year ago
@halloweenfriday I know what you mean, but I'm not talking about making it exactly like the book. I'm talking about putting in a romance between Dracula and Mina that should not be there because it stomps all over the Jonathan/Mina relationship that Stoker wrote. And Peter Jackson managed to make a pretty faithful version of 'The Lord Of The Rings' without changing much of the story at all, and it turned out to be very successful. He didn't make Arwen fall in love with Sauron instead of Aragorn.
44excalibur 1 year ago
@halloweenfriday it was hardly based on Vlad Tepes, as he had 3 wives and none of them were named Elizabeta. just sayin'
orthiss 1 year ago
@44excalibur I really believe the movie was made to sell out. people love romance and so the idea of a beauty and a beast was much more appealing to the public. course, this is my opinion. but I definitely understand why you find it disrespectful. I actually never liked the book as it's one thing to make up a character and another to take a ruler and twist and turn him into something, just because it suits his needs.
orthiss 1 year ago
@orthiss As you're from Romania I can understand why you don't like Dracula to begin with. Thanks for your comments. The Beauty and the Beast thing really apalled me, since it turned what was supposed to be a horror classic into sappy romantic pulp. I honestly don't understand what people have against Jonathan and Mina's characters from the novel. In the book they're such a tragic, loving, romantic story, but in movies they get torn to shreds. Winona and Keanu were the worst portrayals ever.
44excalibur 1 year ago
@44excalibur a lot of people find it more simple to watch the movie rather than read the book and maybe because they don't fully understand Jonathan's relationship with Mina they have certain feelings about it. also, the idea of an evil creature being changed by 'the power of love' seems very fairytale, and so people want to pay for something breathtaking rather than something realistic. I'm actually from Transilvania and all of this is just over the top.
orthiss 1 year ago
@orthiss Wow, you're from Transylvanina? Nice to meet you and thanks for the comments. :) I know someone from Bulgaria in the Montana district. I figured you wouldn't like the book or the movies disrespecting your country's history concerning Vlad Tepes. And I keep telling people that the Vlad/Elizabeta thing is made up by the filmakers and has nothing to do with Mina, but they don't get it. lol Take care!
44excalibur 1 year ago
@44excalibur indeed I am, yes. nice meeting you as well. I don't want to be misunderstood, the movie and the book are nice, if you look at them from a non-realistic point of view and without comparing them with each other or the reality. I really liked gary oldman (even though his Romanian sucked) in the movie. both the book and the movie are nice in their own way, leaving aside that the book did not respect much of the history and the movie didn't respect much of the book.

Zuyuri 1 year ago 61
@Zuyuri There's nothing "true" about this scene. Coppolla changed this scene from how it was in the book. Bram Stoker's novel had Jonathan and Mina lying in bed together when Dracula invades their bedroom. He renders Jonathan unconscious and forces Mina to drink blood from his own chest, threatening to kill Jonathan if she doesn't. It's a rape scene, not a sex scene. 'Twilight' may have been silly, but at least it didn't try to change the story from the novel like this movie did.
44excalibur 1 year ago
@44excalibur also i watched hammer's dracula it said it was BASED ON THE BOOK although it LOOSELY BASED. dracula barely spoke in that movie. however i thought it was good and so does everyone else. i just wanted to tell u that not every movie has to be the same as the book. whether dracula doesn't talk or falls in love with mina, it's still great. twilight is different because ed has one emotion called love. dracula has many characteristics: anger, love, violent, creepy, scary, romantic. the end
halloweenfriday 1 year ago
@halloweenfriday Did you read my previous comment to you? And Hammer never put Bram Stoker's name above the title the way Coppola did, which was wrong. I don't expect every movie to be like the book, but I do expect the author's vision to be respected at least once on film, and 'Dracula' has never had a faithful film version that portrayed Jonathan and Mina correctly. Yes, the novel 'Dracula' had many characteristics, but the only romance was between Jonathan and Mina, not Dracula. The End.
44excalibur 1 year ago
@44excalibur
The only reason why Coppola called it 'Bram Stoker's Dracula' was because the company that made the first Dracula movie had registered the rights to the title of 'Dracula'. He was going to name it simply 'D' to distinguish it, but he likes putting the author's names in front of the titles, if it's from a book.
VirgiliaCoriolanus 1 year ago
@VirgiliaCoriolanus Yes, I know that Coppola was originally going to call it 'D'(and Universal is the studio that did the original.) Coppola doesn't always put the author's name in front of the titles. He did it with the 'Godfather' movies, but he didn't put S.E. Hinton's name in front of 'The Outsiders' and 'Rumble Fish.'

jobikr 1 year ago
@jobikr I understand, but I would imagine that if Hollywood changed 'Twilight' so that Bella ended up with Jacob in the movie and acted like she never loved Edward that fans of the books would be upset. Fans of the novel 'Dracula' are equally upset by what this movie did to Jonathan and Mina, as well as making Dracula a romantic hero. The difference is that 'Dracula' is a classic and 'Twilight' is not, and I would think that Bram Stoker deserves the same respect that Stephanie Meyer received.
44excalibur 1 year ago
@44excalibur Well, that's a right point you are talking about .
Actually, I recieved the novel of Dracula, but I began reading it, and it seemed for me after 100 of pages a little bit boring :/ Maybe becuase of the translation, cause I was reading in Russian ! lol .
Other books I've read were in English,
as well as Interview With The Vampire. Have you read/ seen it ? The movie is also a little bit wierd and dissapointing after reading the book !
jobikr 1 year ago
@jobikr Well, the first part of the book is all from Jonathan Harker's Journal and his point of view. It's also the creepiest, eeriest part of the book since it all happens in Transylvania and sets the mood and tone of the story. Later, the story goes to Mina's Journal and her point of view, then to Lucy, and Dr. Seward, then back to Jonathan and Mina, and so on. I did read 'Interview With The Vampire' and saw the movie. The movie was kind of watered-down and uneven, and terribly miscast.
44excalibur 1 year ago
@linkinparkroxyoursox No, this is not the original Bella and Edward crap. Twilight may have had Vampires falling in love with humans, but Bram Stoker never did. there is no love story between Mina and Dracula at all in the novel! She was only in love with Jonathan. This movie is nothing like Stoker's novel and it's because of films like this that the vampire horror genre is nearly dead.

SadiChanMagellan123 1 year ago
@SadiChanMagellan123 Because the filmakers changed the whole story which takes the scene out fo context. Read the passages I posted below and you'll see how the scene actaully happened in the novel. Mina and Jonathan were in bed together when Dracula invaded their room, knocked Jonathan out, and threatened to kill him if Mina didn't cooperate. Dracula bites her and then forces her to drink his blood to punish her and Jonathan for trying to stop him. That's why she says "unclean."
44excalibur 1 year ago
@SadiChanMagellan123 if you have never read the novel, let me explain something that might clear up any confusion you have about this scene. In the novel, there is no love story between Mina and Dracula. She's only in love with Jonathan. You should read the book to see the actual story.

Needless to say she spent the night with him and was found split in half the next mornning. 'The Impaler' name suits him!
