@koalajones88 LOL, "why should homosexuality be banned" is an IRONIC video, you idiot. You didn't watch so you're saying bullshit. It is an AMAZING ANTI-HOMOPHOBIA VIDEO.
@koalajones88 Yeah, right. You're choosing to ignore the first and the last sentences of the statement which make it clear he is talking about himself and how he identifies with the character of Dracula.
vlad the impaler from the loyal order of the drakool (dragon). Look him up at Wikipedia and read of his historical legendary cruelty. Sadistic Cruelty. Even Mehemmed 2 the conqueror turned away when he came upon 10 thousand of his army impaled on steaks. At that point he decided to let his generals fight the war. He had had enough of Vlad the Impaler.
@keksc Yes. To get into character of sadness, he would look at pictures of Alfie. He kept Alfie's picture with him on set. He'd often stay away from the cast to maintain character as well. And yes, he was splitting up with Uma at the time of this filming. I was permitted on set during two particular scenes (nepotism) and feel fortunate. I've also earned even more respect and admiration for Oldman, as an actor and man, he's more diverse than most realize.
This is beautiful. Not to mention -- this was an incredible Dracula movie. He is an artist, and to have even just our small window into the depth and personal value this role delivered for him is more than patrons of any other art form could ever ask for.
Quite creepy looking at him as dracula and when you looked at him at interview as Gary, He's like hundred years younger :) Can't imagine Dracula is just in his 30 years :)
0:30 is just rehearsal right? He's one of the actors that is said to be the give-all type even on rehearsals. That's what makes him really a powerful and not just an ordinary breathing human being. He's a piece of art.
are you kidding me Gary? apparently not!! That you were denied an Oscar for your performance in Dracula is beyond me. I had Coppola's Dracula on video cassette in the early 90's and would repeatedly watch Harker's (should have been played by David Bowie) arrival at the castle. The deep sensual blue of the sky...the moon, gorgeous cinematography. "I bid you welcome to my house Mr Harker...do some is....and leave....some of the happiness that you bring..."
He was talking about himself and the character but you can see he is staying "in character" off set (by that I mean Dracula's accent, dialect, even the way he moves you can see the mannerisms of an old man)
Totaly agree!! Im looking forward to getting this on the 2 dvd set .. One of the dvds discusses the special effects that were used in the movie .. Im wondering of Gary Oldmans voice was enhanced with electronic effects .. Thats because his voice sounds way different in interviews .. No matter, Gary Oldman was the best Dracula ever, And thats no doubt!!
@Tigerlily21 Yes, but how do you know, I mean Gary has been married four times. Uma was only his second marraige, whose to say his true love wasn't before that, I mean, think about it, they had starting shooting this in, 90' , '91, Uma didn't file for divorce until the film was partically over, i mean who knows? Right? ....
And it hasn't left you. By the way...one of those amazing model companies made dracula figures...Tod what's his name...but eh blew it by not making Tom Waits Renfield...before and after. The would have sold more freakin' models....well...I would have bought it.
What an interesting man. There are a few actors and actresses that I would love to just sit and listen to whatever they had to say. Gary Oldman is one of them.
Ok seriously, the fact that Gary Oldman has never been nominated for an Oscar... should we even take the Academy seriously? I mean this is the same Academy who didn't even nominate Val Kilmer for his role as Doc Holiday. The Academy is a joke.
He says that he understand this role and that he just one time in his life really loved a person and maybe will never again.I hope for him that he will love again even if it couldn't be me,maybe his present wife is the right one.
If this is sincerity, he is breath taking, if he plays a role he is brilliant. In both cases, he is a genius. I don't think that I've ever seen such a seducing exposure of a sentiment. Truly amazing.
Video description: "Gary speaks about his one true love.
(which should be me)"
And a big LOL goes to you, my friend... unless you're Uma Thurman or something. ;-)
Gary just melted my heart. I find it refreshing that, for such an attractive man, he would be so romantic and love someone so passionately. Oh, and why is it that many of us end up losing or never being with the ones we love the most? :-(
:'((( BREAK MY HEART, WHY DON'T YA! *sniffle* Poor Gaz. That bit where he removes his mask and cries out is powerful, particularly given the music and voiceover. And he looks and sounds so sad at the end, it's heartbreaking.
It sounds like it, but at the very beginning, he says, "I understood this role." And then, at the very end, he says, "So I know... what it feels like." He's saying that he can relate to Dracula and his love for Mina b/c he's been through a similar situation. So in a sense, yeah, he's getting into character, but he's not speaking from Dracula's perspective in the technical sense.
ack I just watched it again even though it pulls at my heart strings....what I forgot to say in the other one was that I guess what I have to look forward to is mending that broken heart. :'-( Also I didn't realize that he was taking off his mask.makeup in that scene...good to know.
this video makes me cry a little bit. I mean it makes me sad to think that one woman hurt him so badly that he can't love someone with his whole heart ever again. what am I supposed to look forward to?! his very last comment makes me sad the most.
I'm actually watching The Fifth Element with him right now... :-D
I think that you don't necessarily have to be hurt by a person to never be able to love the same way again. I think in every lifetime, although you may have had several people with whom you were very much in love, there's this other love that so encompasses every part of you you will never be quite that deeply in love again.
what dumb lady would turn down this monolith of a man?
