Nosferatu (part 1 of 13)

This amazing film was released in 1922 by the Prana Film company under the name "Nosferatu," because the studio could not get the rights to the novel "Dracula." It was the Prana Film company's only film, because they soon declared bankruptcy (before the widowed Mrs. Stoker could sue for copyright infringement). In 1927, the Cinémathèque Française, which collected and preserved films, preserved a copy of the second French version of "Nosferatu." In 1947 This version made a home in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

Nosferatu. Dir. F.W. Murnau. Writ. Henrik Galeen and Bram Stoker. Prana Film, 1922.

How I wish the modern times were more like the early Victorian era.. Where elegance and morals were treasured most predominately and above all else, rather than cheap thrills and the desire to accumulate wealth.. *sigh*

Well, we can always dream, and those, I suppose, can never be taken away from us

Thank you so much for this, greedymuppet

"You will have a marvelous journey. And, young as you are, what matter if it costs you some pain - even a little blood."

You can just sense the irony in this movie. XD

@greedymuppet actually, nosferatu is "vampire" indicated for the film and the people who call te vampire Nosferatu, is actually called by Count Orlock. U might b saying by now, "wat does tat have to do with anything since most ppl know this already?" I'm just saying it because this still chills me to the bones. :)

@Akty10 They didnt know how to put sounds into the movie they had real people play on the pianos at the theatres

[akty101]

Do these really have too be spelled in words? I read a book of this vampire countorlok! And THIS IS IT?! JUST A STUPID SENTENCE THEY DONT EVEN TALK!!!!!!!!!

I think that in 3:35, the sequence where Nina says "Why did you kill them... the lovely flowers?" is missing... (but maybe it depend of edition. I saw this film with a bit different colours).

It is a pity. I like this quote, I always think of it when I see some flower bouqet...

@KaminaDragon

Well, that was probably all they had at the time. Color wasn't 'till later.
