I love the fact that there are rules the count has to follow. 1. Her husband has to give up his right to her 2. She must of her own free will give her self to him I wonder why he didn't sparkle in the sunlight. LOL
That is because the original ideas of vampires were demons. This side of The cross God has put all false gods and principalities to open shame. The only power demons have over someone is what they give to them.
Saw the movie on Christmas night with my wife. My first reaction was to think that The Witch was the better work from Eggers. However, Nosferatu has been on my mind ever since I left the theater. I've just now begun to appreciate the story's complexity and how fresh Eggers' take on this classic truly is. This video helped further appreciate those differences. Like other people have said, I'll need to watch Nosferatu a few more times to finally sink my teeth into this new masterpiece.
Yea I’m in the same boat. The middle felt like it dragged, but since I seen it I can’t stop thinking about how many details flew by. That village scene with the naked girl on the horse has been haunting me lol
@@rommelrivera1186 exactly the same! The movie leaves you guessing and underwhelm, I believe now it was director’s intention all along. It presents all the elements of horror but does not use them in a traditional way. Yes maybe if Egger decided to flashback us Depp with Skarsgaard in his human form couple times before the end we could relate more to their story. If Egger chose bloodier deaths of Taylor-Johnson and Corrin we could say it was a true horror story. But now I want to see it over and over again to fill in the gaps all the necessary scenes with my imagination. I feel this movie has achieved to become a first book on screen lol.
@@ivanblancovazquez6497 *SPOILERS* Orlok lays over Ellen on a blood drenched bed naked and his body is decayed like a corpse with legs that are literally skin and bone
I think Nosferatu was an embodiment of sex itself, specifically pre-marital sex for a woman. There was this strong idea that any woman who had sex outside of marriage was impure or ruined. She refers to her original meeting with the Count as her "shame." Every human has a desire for pleasure but women back then were supposed to be seen as not being filled with lust as men were, even though we know that's not the case. It's a struggle between a woman's natural feelings and the patriarchal standards they have to live with and feel guilt for. At the end of the movie she saves everyone with this "sinful" act, finally taking back the power and control of sex that's been weighed on her her entire life.
Yeah I couldn't shake off the feeling that Orlok was some form of dangerous ex boyfriend or something like that. But I think your explanation completed that full picture
I was disappointed when he didn’t burst into flame when the sun hit him at first. But the way it progressed turned into one of the most memorable death scenes in a horror movie. The roar with the blood gushing from all over! Never seen anything like it.
When I first saw that Nosferatu had a mustache I immediately thought of the original inspiration for Dracula; Vlad The Impaler. I loved every bit of this film.
This Nosferatu was done well, and the Count, if you _can_ get a decent look at him, embodies the closest description as detailed in Bram Stoker's novel. This was an incredibly well-mixed bag of carefully studied material that included the 1922 Nosferatu, the original novel, and as proper a re-imagining as a fan of the vampire genre could want! 10/10
@@kirkhensley5870 that’s exactly why I loved it and why some people were leaving the theatre. Classical works were to be too hard to relate to some parts of the audience, always. It is levels harder than seeing Thor from northern myths made a hunk blonde with mindset of a 15 yo. That’s why Hollywood simplifies everything classic in the world, for mass production. I’m glad we still have artists like Egger, who make that kind of movies.
@@albatros386just reading through the comments, one can see that the movie was way above many people. I think a minimum IQ should be required to see it.

@@jennykosky4430 actually he is close to Cepesh too, visuals wise. If Egger wanted he would make an awesome Vlad out of Skarsgaard with mustache and human like, but he opted for a decaying corpse, since this is how it was in the book i guess
The opening scene was so “welcome to a Eggers film” Leading up to the castle was so enriching, including the liveliness of the city before Holts character leaves, it was just *chefs kiss* Nosferatu himself was eerie and demanding whenever he was on camera. The second half included Defoe which really amped up the seriousness of the tone because he has just absolutely crushed every role I’ve seen him in so I wanted to know what he said yes to and he absolutely delivered. There are plenty of highlights of in this movie and I can relate most to The Witch comparatively in tone. I would totally watch it again and again
My first thought at the ending after watching this film in theaters Christmas Day: Robert Eggers' Nosferatu is my new favorite "technically it's a Christmas movie " movie.
Just an fyi, the reason for the naked girl in the village was to identify the undead person in the cemetery. Folklore said if you put a naked virgin on a horse and let the horse off it's lead, it will stop at the grave of a vampire. Coppola's Dracula used a horse, but left off the virgin. So the girl wasn't a sacrifice, she was a divining rod.
The fact that this film was beautiful scary tragic and romantic is so insane. Robert eggers is a genius I can’t wait to see what he does next ! I already want to see this film again ! I really got lost in the world .
The fact that withering heights is glorified as a great love story while it’s a toxic mid and poor man with inferiority complex and narcissistic tendencies being jealous of his childhood friend
I like to think of this story as a cautionary tail of what greed/gluttony/addiction can turn you into. Nosferatu met his death because he was so preoccupied with his bloodlust. Not only that but it completely blinded his eyes to see how evil and callsced his heart had become.
Ive realized cinema has levels to it. If you think the movie sucked its just because you a) watched it for the wrong reasons b) Were waiting to get scared, and missed a great story. Its one thing to not like it but say it was trash or horrible ? come on.
@@BullyMaguire4ever The mustache is of the time period. Also Stoker's version had a mustache as well. The count is also Hungarian and that was the thing for them them.. not too many without a mustache back then. . . Also..do you think Orlok cares about shaving?.. c'mon
@@rabrown6653 Preying on young women despite being an old head, also being suspect around men (see, "21, do your thing, 21..."). Also being a vampire of black culture.
He (Orlock) does deals with people. They (captain) knew he was carrying something evil once his crew started to die. Very ovbious but ovbiously not to everyone
The original Dracula had a mustache, sorry to break it to you people. Vampires are capable of having facial hair. Robert Eggers just wanted to do something different with this interpretation and that’s all there is to it
In law's favorite movies are the original and other Nosferatu's. He thought this movie was amazing, stayed true mostly and is now adding it to his rotation. For the people saying if you haven't seen the original or if this is your first vampire movie you'll like it??? Just admit to yourself you don't like the movie for other reasons but this movie is one of the best things to come out this year.
Thomas was to celebrate the death of Ellen and Count Orlok as Emperor Augustus celebrated the death of Cleopatra and Mark Antony. Two of his greatest enemies had died. His wife was unfaithful.
Watching a bunch of Dracula in anticipation and of course the two Nosferatu mainstays (1922 and 1979) I was blown away, this vampire went hard. Especially at the end 😅
I've watched thousands of horror and horror films, and Robert Eggers' Nosferatu I can guarantee and swear, for the atmosphere of death, rotten eroticism, bloodthirstiness, Absolutely epic, scary, terrifying, truly perfect and worthy retelling or remake, which surpasses any previous films of the character and the best gothic horror film in history. Great Work like Masterpiece The Magnum Opus as Magnanimous rare jewelry worthy of countless Oscar statuettes. Period and I have said yes...
@@etaylor8028That was the point. This Union isn't supposed to be romantic like Coppola's Version. It's repulsive and disgusting. Orlok is an embodiment of suppressed, animalistic in a back then suppressed time. There's a reason why Orlok is contrasted with Hutter...
I don't know about anyone else but Depp was like 20x scarier to me than Orloc. Scarsgaurd played his character perfectly but she definately took the show
I was wondering if she did all the shaking herself especially in the scene where she accuses her husband of things while getting more and more epileptic
@@jacy9338 then it was crazy good imo :) loved it. But i love her as an actress anyway so it was easy to like. But I see many people saying she was bad.
This movie is amazing. I loved the angles of the camera, like the wagon going down the mountain side, and when it from one scene into the flame one on torch.
@@kidfresh92 Absolutely not, read dracula, it's literally the same plot and that was written in the 1800's well before modern day dating. Stop tryna make everything about modern dating and read a book.
I’m really late finding out about the director Robert Eggers, but just from seeing this movie, I already see he’s a visionary & that this movie is a modern classic. His choice to shoot with film really made the difference when creating mood & making everything feel & look realistic. I’m definitely going to look up everything he’s made, he’s different.
I for sure have to watch it again and maybe even a third time but I kind of got the impression that the count was a sort of stand in for molestation. Towards the end when the count and Ellen talk in the dream, he says that she woke him up and called him to her and that she lusted after him and so on. But she says that he is a devil, and a snake, and a liar, and that she hates him. She pretty much rejects him completely. I saw this as the count sort of victim blaming her the same way a lot of child molesters do. "Oh she came on to me, she wanted it, she sat on my lap" stuff like that. He puts his one sided lust all on her and acts like she's throwing herself at him. Overall, I liked it and I'm sure people will be debating over it for years to come.
I clocked that, too. Edit: this made me remember someone on Tumblr having the same theory for LongLegs (the CSA part). Funny how two movies came out that are heavily themed with female sexuality in a time when women are facing down a loss of autonomy.* *= it’s the same vein in how there was a lot of slasher films in the 70s and 80s, a time when a lot of serial killers were on the loose. Found footage appearing right when the internet blew up and everyone was justing talking into their cameras on UA-cam. Apocalypse movies in the early 2010s, need I even explain that one?
Interesting take. I simply took it as in her youth, her uniqueness made her lonely and in her loneliness she called out for anyone who could hear and understand her. And out of the darkness orlok was awakened by her call and answered.
This is the best time for a movie like this in Hollywood. Not for the ticktock minded fools. It’s like a moving horror painting. Haunting. Dreadful. Yet…. Gorgeous. Bravo to make this in this day and age for us fans of cinema and visual storytelling.
I was super psyched to see this film, having always been a big fan of many of the vampire movies. Especially the original Nosferatu. I'm sorry, but I ended up bored, and nearly fell asleep in the theatre. Bill was excellent as the count, and the other actors did a decent, if maybe exaggerated job. The Cinematography was beautifully done, and the vibe generally creepy. But honestly, the story additions were lame. The whole possession thing was seriously off and silly. I will admit I did enjoy the ending, and thought it apropos. But on the whole I was disappointed, and don't understand all the kudos going around. I'm beginning to think it's just a matter of everyone jumping on the popular train of liking this entirely, without being truly honest about it. Just my opinion, of course. And I'm not saying nobody should waste the time. It was an ok horror flick, and had it's good points. But not nearly as great as people are claiming.
this film is an opera of pure horror with a bloody erotic tone, meticulously orchestrated with dazzling perfection and very well orchestrated majestically impeccable in every detail photography art direction story characters soundtrack, absolutely everything, Count Orlok Nosferatu has a more terrifying, sinister, overwhelmingly impressive look than any other horror character in the history of cinema, especially vampires.
Great movie but hated the ending. Wished they changed it from the original. Thought it was cliche as hell. The entire castle scene and introduction to orlock was amazing. Final shot was crazy too.
I don't really know why people went into this movie expecting Eggers to fundamentally alter the story. He changed some things but kept most of the story intact. Nosferstu's death in this film is much more interesting than him evaporating in the sunlight (like the 1922 version) or having a seizure on the floor and dying (like the 1979 version).
@prettyfacemachine6972 I disliked the sexual take on the ending. It gives off vibes that she wanted Orlok, but then again she had to lure him and keep him there. So my feelings are probably incorrect as hell lol
The ending is about searching for that one thing your whole existence and setteling with whatever consequense after finding it, or becoming compleet as a being. That is why the count didn't run back to hide from the sunrise and rather chose to stay with her in his final moments because he knew that she wouldnt survive as well. It's quite a love story as well imo
Just saw it tonight, 25 th Dec. and I was impressed with the Director's choices. It was very washed-out in color pattern and could see elements of Stoker's story that is seen in DRACULA films. Costuming was great, but one flaw that I saw was it took place in 1838 in "Germany". "Germany" as a country did not exist then, just a collection of Kingdoms and Duchies.
Robert Eggers is too much of a history buff to make a mistake like that. Germany the nation didn't exist in 1838, but the German Confederation was often referred to as "Germany". The term "Germany" dates back to at least the 18th century. So his use of Germany is not ahistorical.
I was all, "Who needs a Dracula movie's ending to be 'explained'?" Then I remember who directed this. While you're at it, can someone explain "Northman"? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
My thoughts exactly. When I finally caught a good look at his face, I was so disappointed. He immediately was no longer scary to me, he seemed so much less threatening with that damned muskrat on his face. It made him look too human. However, the skin on his face was too smooth, and those contacts just looked CG. It didn’t look like prosthetics to me, it looked airbrushed and animated. His hands looked great, his voice was great, that gross breathing was great; but the mustache just ruined it all, couldn’t focus on anything else.
I'll admit the movie had some good visual scenery and shots. However, my criticism is that the plotline wasn't well established (what is Nosteratu? Is it a curse from the spirit world? How did Orlock become a vampire? "Release the demon from his body"). Ellen's inner emotions weren't explored further (why did she choose to sacrifice herself? Did she or did she truly feel a connection with the beast? What was this shame she spoke of?) A lot of people in my theater were yawning and appeared to be bored because it is 2 hours 12 miutes with a lot if visual shots that don't convey key points to the story line. I expected a bit more depth to the film from the "The Witch" director and more clear scenes of the beast.
I’m trying to find a deeper meaning to the film also. Was there anything preventable? Was there a mistake from either partner who caused this issue? Why did the occult book also give the answer on how to defeat nosferatu? Is the message that nosferatu despite all his power was defeated due to his selfish lust and though sacrifice everyone could be saved? What was the pull Dracula had on her? Was it some twisted lust inside her that was drawn back to him? Why was the recuritement 3 days? Couldn’t have just killed or captured her husband or something or made her go a bit more mad? Cinematography was amazing, tone amazing, story telling great, characters and acting was great but the actual message is falling short. Was it a cautionary tale or just another angle of love conquers all?
@@joeandrew8752i think the secret of the story is that nosferatu was dying anyway, and he manipulated all the main characters to get exactly what he wanted before he died. Willem defoe was under his mimd control the whole time. I think the people in his original village were doing the correct rituals to kill him thats why he left his castle.
Yeah I bet a lot of people went to Nosferatu having no idea of its director nor thats its a remake of 1923 and more ir less will stay close to its plot. That’s where the majority of boredom comes from - it is simply not the movie for everyone, it’s not Marvel Dracula Untold etc. And in The Witch he wasn’t bound to the source and the plot was overall simpler to convey it effectively. With his attention to details I believe every confusion, every ambiguous details is left by him on purpose. Probably there will be tens of channels with easter eggs soon, but main takeaway I got from this movie is that it is one if a kind and very original, just like an opera or a painting, it might be too complex to appreciate for some or just not a personal taste but its a movie of a crazy quality no doubt
So I just got done watching it and while it was a great version of this story, I like that the Count wasn’t a prissy aristocrat and was closer to what lore states, Willem Defoe killed it as Vin France, but I kinda wish I hadn’t spent money to see it. If you over lay this film with Dracula it is almost beat for beat the same story. Great movie but I think there could and needs to be a revitalization of vampire movies.
It's a shame how many people didn't understand the movie, but not surprising because it's occult. The movie is more of a psychological horror, it follows the story of women in society. Basically confirmed when Dr said "you would've been a priests of isis" she instead became a witch because of her own delusions, nerferatu is basically her mind. Especially shown at the end where Thomas didn't even react to nosferatu it was a story on how a man lost his woman ^Very barebones summary, with no explanations of the occult and deeper themes
Ur dum alittle, buti 'm sure youre smart in other ways.. u noticed the MOST OBVIOUS theme CONGRATS ELIJAH!!! You know what... Since u pointed out that theme, I deem u one of the "good guys" XD Nerferatu
Thank you I was waiting for this comment it’s a very niche group that will thoroughly enjoy and understand this’s movie. I just came from seeing it and I’m geeked
I understand what they were trying to do, but "weird necro cucking fantasy" is way more the vibe delivered. This is coming from someone who really loves all the rest of the movie but feels they flubbed the ending.
@torreyjones4421 he deserved to be cucked imo, he represents a guy in his first relationship or a "mortal". She never addressed her darkness in her past and she only reveals that later. He foolishly got with her without knowing her past, and he never knew abt the deeper side of the mind and dismissed her as having fantasy. He was the mortal fighting against death and its influences, its an archetypal story of man
@@Megan80'Variety' online has an interview with the director, and he explained the decision for the mustache: "Try to find a Transylvanian person who’s of age who can grow a mustache that doesn’t have a mustache. It’s part of the culture."
I may have to watch again but it wasn’t great to me. Felt like eggers did a lot of repetitive things seen in the witch. dafoe is the same character in his last film and orlok lost his scary presence once you’ve seen him so many times. Seems the stronger scenes were rushed for pointless dialogue and was way too long of a movie.
Eggers always makes visually stunning films. However, there is very little that is new in this film. The story is very much told from her (Depps) perspective, but that is nothing groundbreaking. Sorry man, outside of the visual beauty the movie is becoming overrated.
The story is a faithful adaptation to Stoker’s Dracula and the 1922 nosferatu. It doesn’t need to be something original just for the sake of it. I think you expected something new and didn’t get it
Great movie 👌🏼 Regardless of the weirdos that wanna turn it into some cheesy female empowerment statement, her performance was brilliant and I think she'll be up for some awards.
I think this movie is about lust. We're told that Ellen is "different ". Our girl had a fling with a "bad boy" type and is not satisfied with her marriage. Ellen wants/needs more than her husband can provide. Her marriage in comparison to the other couple is telling. They have 2+1 kids where our Ellen doesn't have any. She kinda finds out her husband is gonna encounter her x boyfriend and sends a clue to he x (a flock of hair). The X boyfriend gets the message loud and clear. This void in Ellen hurts everyone around her (close friends then the town). She does have 3 serious conversations with men throughout the movie which shows how men (society) don't understand her. She "defeats" the vampire by having sex with him all night long? The ending baffles me. This whole film is about Ellens journey to "get over" her lust. Pleae prove me wrong cuz I think I'm missing something.
I don’t think you understand, her x boyfriend was a shameful memory she had as she wanted love at no cost and made a pact with an evil diety/demon/vampire where she gets immediately SA’d. Time passes and she is now a young woman who has found her real love which was no one else but her husband. The count finds where she is hiding and tricks the husband to give her up. The abusive X is all the terrible malice, uses manipulation the whole time. What you must know is the vampire casts powerful curses that make Ellen lust for orlok but not love. That’s why she refuses him even when people die around her, but she could not bear to loose her true love “husband”. So she has “sex” with her evil desire she made along time ago and sacrifices herself to the count. She atones for her past by sacrificing her life to the demon and therefore sparing her husband who she truly loved. The ending she actually indeed enjoys her dark melancholic desire giving in to her pact which Orlok obviously had spelled bound her to feel ultimate ecstasy. It’s indeed tragic and bittersweet as many critics say
Not what I got from this movie at all. Orlok grooms Ellen since I child and was pretty much spiritually molesting her until she found love in Thomas and Orlok’s power over her disappeared. After the honeymoon he enacts his plan to go to town and get her himself because she was getting her happily ever after When they meet he pretty much victim blames her, he might as well said “well you were asking for it look at what you were wearing” lol He gave her those 3 rules thing but neither Tom/Ellen would do that. But he tricked Tomas to sign the divorce papers & pretty much forced Ellen by bringing the plague upon the town to get what he wants. He pretty much told Ellen “fuck me or everyone you love and this entire town will die” . She was coerced to even have sex with him just to save everyone else Only one with “lust”here is the Count and you saw all the gnarly things he did just to get it. Ellen says countless times that it was torture for her even though he perceived it as “lust”
The look they gave the antagonist yields like no one seen in cinematic history except Jim Carey’s Lemony Snickets with a Burt Reynolds Stache!!! Really??
The 1992 version comes with a romantic cliché to offer an escapist fantasy from reality for women. Being an escape valve from their monotonous and mediocre lives.
Nosferatu explores themes of sacrifice, and obsession. Lily-Rose Depp embodies 🦂Scorpio-like traits with her deep loyalty and willingness to surrender to evil for love-Count Orlok 🦇. Even lust. The chilling ship scenes echo the tension of “The Last Voyage of the Demeter,” blending dread with poetic tragedy.
These movies should serve as a warning for us. When we give into temptation more, the demons manifest themselves more fully in the world. In times of loneliness and despair it is tempting to enter into a relationship with sin/death. Ofc this doesn’t solve our problems and ultimately just leads to death. The vampire is a perfect representation as it drinks people’s blood but only for its own purpose and gives nothing back to the world except for death. Once the monsters manifest themselves physically it’s harder to condemn them back to hell and that’s why she had to sacrifice herself (like Christ). She traded her life to save the people she loved and the whole town since the vampire brought the plague with him. Although it would have been nice to see the monks and nuns fix the problem, it would not have fit the message of this movie. Warning: Sin leads to death.
There is nothing more self-explanatory than how this movie ends, seriously this obsession with wanting to find metaphors or new interpretations of something that is almost spoon-fed to you, is pretentious and exhausting.
@thepoliticaltrap3010 no my dear, i am watching Nosferatu videos on youtube, and youtube recommends you other related videos. Then i clicked exactly because i find pathetic to write "ending explained" in a movie like this.
Somehow, they try to turn this into a "men is misogynistic " story lmao gtfoh. When in reality all this is the females fault but no one holds her accountable

The ritual he witnessed is what they did to attempt to find vampires in Europe. So it was accurate to folklore.
I love the fact that there are rules the count has to follow.
1. Her husband has to give up his right to her
2. She must of her own free will give her self to him
I wonder why he didn't sparkle in the sunlight. LOL
Yeah the rules....If you don't do this....This will happen.
Free will remains a hard requirement, apparently. Religion plays strong.
The contract was a really cool flourish to the idea of the demon/vampire aspect
That is because the original ideas of vampires were demons. This side of The cross God has put all false gods and principalities to open shame. The only power demons have over someone is what they give to them.
Sure, but no contract, especially one gained by fraud, can break the marriage covenant. A false legalism of the demonic.
Saw the movie on Christmas night with my wife. My first reaction was to think that The Witch was the better work from Eggers. However, Nosferatu has been on my mind ever since I left the theater. I've just now begun to appreciate the story's complexity and how fresh Eggers' take on this classic truly is. This video helped further appreciate those differences.

Sam, I suspect you are late for your incel reunion.
Exactly. You hit the nail on the hat.
@zizonesol Orlok was basically a demon he came through when she wanted a friend. Orlok is like Dracula he can place people under spells
💯💯💯
I was disappointed when he didn’t burst into flame when the sun hit him at first.
But the way it progressed turned into one of the most memorable death scenes in a horror movie.
The roar with the blood gushing from all over! Never seen anything like it.
Yeah that death scene was unbelievable
When I first saw that Nosferatu had a mustache I immediately thought of the original inspiration for Dracula; Vlad The Impaler.
I loved every bit of this film.
This Nosferatu was done well, and the Count, if you _can_ get a decent look at him, embodies the closest description as detailed in Bram Stoker's novel. This was an incredibly well-mixed bag of carefully studied material that included the 1922 Nosferatu, the original novel, and as proper a re-imagining as a fan of the vampire genre could want! 10/10
@@kirkhensley5870 that’s exactly why I loved it and why some people were leaving the theatre. Classical works were to be too hard to relate to some parts of the audience, always. It is levels harder than seeing Thor from northern myths made a hunk blonde with mindset of a 15 yo. That’s why Hollywood simplifies everything classic in the world, for mass production. I’m glad we still have artists like Egger, who make that kind of movies.
@albatros386 You called it, and you called it properly! 👏
@@albatros386just reading through the comments, one can see that the movie was way above many people. I think a minimum IQ should be required to see it.
My succinct interpretation was that she was able to defeat "evil" with "love".
But, one thing I didn’t get…
She “summoned him” cause she was lonely and asked for a guardian angel. But, he was dead? And how was she able to summon him?
@@claudiofistmasterI think that since she kind threw herself out there to whatever powers may be listening, it was heard by the count

“Nosferatu” (2024) CAST OF CHARACTERS.
***********************************************
MAIN CHARACTERS
***********************************************
1) Count Orlok (Bill Skarsgård) - Ba’alZebub (Titus in the Holy Bible, only of a sort people)
THE MOON, serving her, by waning, reflecting light (not generating). Lesser light “ruling over darkness.”
THIS ONE) Molech: who builds the tabernacle of wickedness. He is worthless for godly significance without Lucifer, but certainly draws the third to him.
2) Ellen Hutter (Lily-Rose Depp) - Lucifer (Mary Magdalene, only of a sort people)
FALLEN STAR, to the Earth, in that she manifest and took on Eve, but before the fall she revolves around the sun trying to get away from the only other thing like her that cannot give forth light.
SHE TOO) Re’Phan: justifies him and over all, but must pollute the Echad. In heaven she fails at that task, but in the movie succeeds, so Lucifer would be pleased.
3) Thomas Hutter (Nicholas Hoult) - Yahweh (Paul in writing of letters, and killing the elect, only of a sort people)
SUN, the true and great star, for this Earth.
THE TRIUNE) Elo’him: who allows Himself brought down in wisdom. Jesus redeems man. There is no redemption going on in this movie. Lucifer saves. What is this? Bar’e’shit, if not, GENESIS created ‘gods’ the heavens and the Earth. In the movie he is brought down as Lucifer succeeds at the task of defiling her husband.
4) Professor Albin Eberhart Von Franz (Willem Dafoe) - Solomon or MAGI man ‘under the sun’ (Solomon broke all the commands of King David, thus cut off from Mary, the mother of Jesus, yet again, only of a sort people)
MANKIND, looking up, as astrologers reaching unto magi.
Stephen: he who announces. The Acts 7:43
Also, in two other good Vampire movies “The Hunger” and “Shadow of the Vampire.” I like the movie “John Carter,” which he is also in. Best movie (and character for multiple movies) he has ever been in is “Spider-Man: No Way Home.” Here, in “Nosferatu” (2024) he plays the wise man, trying to figure it out.
thus ends the major characters...
***********************************************
THE COMMON FOLK
***********************************************
5) Anna Harding (Emma Corrin) - MUSLIMS in league with Satan, or Ba’alZebub, reaching for Lucifer.
MONTHLY CYCLE: reaching for the YEARLY GOAL.
6) Friedrich Harding (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) - CHRISTIANS in league with Yahweh.
Hoping for the 2nd coming; looking for Spiritual significance.
7) Dr. Wilhelm Sievers (Ralph Ineson) - JEWS trying to solve the problem in the Middle East.
Can this Islamic pollution be cured? Earthly goals only.
8} Herr Knock (Simon McBurney) - FALLEN ANGELS (demonically possessed) loving darkness, for their deeds are evil
3RD OF THE HEAVENS, drawn unto falling, by way of Count Orlok (THEIR GOD)
Sacrifice as much as Love
She harnessed her hidden power
its a visual masterpiece
Dracula with Gary Oldman will always be my favorite!
mine as well.
@@jennykosky4430 actually he is close to Cepesh too, visuals wise. If Egger wanted he would make an awesome Vlad out of Skarsgaard with mustache and human like, but he opted for a decaying corpse, since this is how it was in the book i guess
The opening scene was so “welcome to a Eggers film”
Leading up to the castle was so enriching, including the liveliness of the city before Holts character leaves, it was just *chefs kiss*
Nosferatu himself was eerie and demanding whenever he was on camera.
The second half included Defoe which really amped up the seriousness of the tone because he has just absolutely crushed every role I’ve seen him in so I wanted to know what he said yes to and he absolutely delivered.
There are plenty of highlights of in this movie and I can relate most to The Witch comparatively in tone. I would totally watch it again and again
My first thought at the ending after watching this film in theaters Christmas Day:
Robert Eggers' Nosferatu is my new favorite "technically it's a Christmas movie " movie.
Fantastic movie. I was on the edge of my seat. Incredible new Christmas movie!
🙄 i’d hardly call that a Christmas movie.
Fr tho. Can't watch this one with kids every December. Lol. It begins & ends with the same thing...
Just an fyi, the reason for the naked girl in the village was to identify the undead person in the cemetery. Folklore said if you put a naked virgin on a horse and let the horse off it's lead, it will stop at the grave of a vampire. Coppola's Dracula used a horse, but left off the virgin. So the girl wasn't a sacrifice, she was a divining rod.
Bill deserves an Oscar for this joint.
He wasn't even in the movie
@@AKeyearea8he was count orlok .....
@@mewfortwo was he?
I’m so sorry…but I could not look at Nosferatu & that mustache without thinking of Jim Carrey in Sonic😔
The fact that this film was beautiful scary tragic and romantic is so insane. Robert eggers is a genius I can’t wait to see what he does next ! I already want to see this film again ! I really got lost in the world .
The fact that withering heights is glorified as a great love story while it’s a toxic mid and poor man with inferiority complex and narcissistic tendencies being jealous of his childhood friend
I like to think of this story as a cautionary tail of what greed/gluttony/addiction can turn you into. Nosferatu met his death because he was so preoccupied with his bloodlust. Not only that but it completely blinded his eyes to see how evil and callsced his heart had become.
lol you got it wrong but aight
@LekiCurbsYou it's a story. There is no "wrong" interpretation. Get your head out of your ass
My boy was waking up at dusk every day at Orlok’s castle just in time for orlok to awaken jeez
He was mesmerized by him. That’s what they mean by falling under his shadow.
Ive realized cinema has levels to it. If you think the movie sucked its just because you a) watched it for the wrong reasons b) Were waiting to get scared, and missed a great story. Its one thing to not like it but say it was trash or horrible ? come on.
Didn’t expect the comedy aspect. The count felt unserious with the mustache.
😂😂
@@BullyMaguire4ever
The mustache is of the time period. Also Stoker's version had a mustache as well. The count is also Hungarian and that was the thing for them them.. not too many without a mustache back then. . . Also..do you think Orlok cares about shaving?.. c'mon
@@BullyMaguire4everthen that’s something you just have to personally separate, has nothing to do with the character or movie itself
I enjoyed last voyage of the demeter not this that was more nosferatu this was dracula and a very boring dracula
They used 5000 real rats for the movies and the wolves chasing the guy in the castle were real
Yes & I was a little upset when he bit the birds head 😢
Nosferatu is like Drake
Expand on this🤔

@@megakid510 same difference
Nobody ever asks how Orlock gets on the ship...at least Coppola's Dracula had servants.
He called an Uber.
I guess you went to go get some popcorn during that part.
He (Orlock) does deals with people. They (captain) knew he was carrying something evil once his crew started to die. Very ovbious but ovbiously not to everyone
The original Dracula had a mustache, sorry to break it to you people. Vampires are capable of having facial hair. Robert Eggers just wanted to do something different with this interpretation and that’s all there is to it
In law's favorite movies are the original and other Nosferatu's. He thought this movie was amazing, stayed true mostly and is now adding it to his rotation. For the people saying if you haven't seen the original or if this is your first vampire movie you'll like it??? Just admit to yourself you don't like the movie for other reasons but this movie is one of the best things to come out this year.
This movie was incredible. 9.1/10
Agreed
I might have to give it a 10/10.

@1neOfN0ne I like how it was a different take on the og I’ve become a big fan of old school movies
It was a beautiful and disturbing film. At the core of it all, it was a love story and self-sacrifice. I love it!!
Thomas was to celebrate the death of Ellen and Count Orlok as Emperor Augustus celebrated the death of Cleopatra and Mark Antony. Two of his greatest enemies had died. His wife was unfaithful.
Watching a bunch of Dracula in anticipation and of course the two Nosferatu mainstays (1922 and 1979) I was blown away, this vampire went hard. Especially at the end 😅
He skipped leg day since forever.
He was a corpse…

You should watch Shadow of the Vampire to go along with this one
I think the most important theme in the movie was modernity vs lost wisdom of the past
Yes.
I've watched thousands of horror and horror films, and Robert Eggers' Nosferatu I can guarantee and swear, for the atmosphere of death, rotten eroticism, bloodthirstiness, Absolutely epic, scary, terrifying, truly perfect and worthy retelling or remake, which surpasses any previous films of the character and the best gothic horror film in history.
Great Work like Masterpiece The Magnum Opus as Magnanimous rare jewelry worthy of countless Oscar statuettes. Period and I have said yes...
It was great. Just got home. I don't know if I'll watch it again. Robert Eggers is a dawg.
@@etaylor8028That was the point. This Union isn't supposed to be romantic like Coppola's Version. It's repulsive and disgusting. Orlok is an embodiment of suppressed, animalistic in a back then suppressed time. There's a reason why Orlok is contrasted with Hutter...
Well put. I'm looking forward to the 4k release so I can really study this movie.
This lowkey felt more of a love story than horror tbh
Love for whom?
All Hallmark movies are horror
The coppola dracula movie is a love story with a hint of horror
@@drakethesnek6429Thomas and Ellen
I don't know about anyone else but Depp was like 20x scarier to me than Orloc. Scarsgaurd played his character perfectly but she definately took the show
I was wondering if she did all the shaking herself especially in the scene where she accuses her husband of things while getting more and more epileptic
@@albatros386yes all of the possessions were actually her doing it , there wasn’t any cgi

This movie is amazing. I loved the angles of the camera, like the wagon going down the mountain side, and when it from one scene into the flame one on torch.
The moral is love defeats "hate/evil"
Selfless actions and giving always help the world in large or small wsys
Masterpiece. So layered. I loved it
Everyone hates this movie but you
This movie is about modern day dating
@@kidfresh92 Absolutely not, read dracula, it's literally the same plot and that was written in the 1800's well before modern day dating. Stop tryna make everything about modern dating and read a book.
@@TheWerttyFiles it was probably a joke bro lighten tf up
I’m really late finding out about the director Robert Eggers, but just from seeing this movie, I already see he’s a visionary & that this movie is a modern classic. His choice to shoot with film really made the difference when creating mood & making everything feel & look realistic. I’m definitely going to look up everything he’s made, he’s different.
The Witch is my favourite of his films
@ I’ll start with that, thanks!!!
I for sure have to watch it again and maybe even a third time but I kind of got the impression that the count was a sort of stand in for molestation. Towards the end when the count and Ellen talk in the dream, he says that she woke him up and called him to her and that she lusted after him and so on. But she says that he is a devil, and a snake, and a liar, and that she hates him. She pretty much rejects him completely. I saw this as the count sort of victim blaming her the same way a lot of child molesters do. "Oh she came on to me, she wanted it, she sat on my lap" stuff like that. He puts his one sided lust all on her and acts like she's throwing herself at him. Overall, I liked it and I'm sure people will be debating over it for years to come.
😂😂😂 who touched u or what child did u touch? Lol. 😂 not a single person thinks that and the director already talked about the movie. 😂😂 weirdo
I clocked that, too.
Edit: this made me remember someone on Tumblr having the same theory for LongLegs (the CSA part).
Funny how two movies came out that are heavily themed with female sexuality in a time when women are facing down a loss of autonomy.*
*= it’s the same vein in how there was a lot of slasher films in the 70s and 80s, a time when a lot of serial killers were on the loose.
Found footage appearing right when the internet blew up and everyone was justing talking into their cameras on UA-cam.
Apocalypse movies in the early 2010s, need I even explain that one?
Yeah, I definitely got the impression he came to her when she was a child..
You got it 🎯
Interesting take. I simply took it as in her youth, her uniqueness made her lonely and in her loneliness she called out for anyone who could hear and understand her. And out of the darkness orlok was awakened by her call and answered.
It basically ends the same way the 1922 original film ended
Except instead of disappearing in the sunlight, he burns to death
not the same at all
@MrMarcodarko One tiny difference.
Last night my theater was laughing at the ending. The film missed its mark with me.
I laughed when the husband walked in & saw Orlock on top of his wife. A lot of things didn't quite work in the film
Great video bubba. Can’t wait to see this movie.
This is the best time for a movie like this in Hollywood. Not for the ticktock minded fools. It’s like a moving horror painting. Haunting. Dreadful. Yet…. Gorgeous.
Bravo to make this in this day and age for us fans of cinema and visual storytelling.
It had beautiful shots. Loved it.
It should have a minimum IQ age requirement. Simpletons will not understand it.
I was super psyched to see this film, having always been a big fan of many of the vampire movies. Especially the original Nosferatu. I'm sorry, but I ended up bored, and nearly fell asleep in the theatre. Bill was excellent as the count, and the other actors did a decent, if maybe exaggerated job. The Cinematography was beautifully done, and the vibe generally creepy. But honestly, the story additions were lame. The whole possession thing was seriously off and silly. I will admit I did enjoy the ending, and thought it apropos. But on the whole I was disappointed, and don't understand all the kudos going around. I'm beginning to think it's just a matter of everyone jumping on the popular train of liking this entirely, without being truly honest about it. Just my opinion, of course. And I'm not saying nobody should waste the time. It was an ok horror flick, and had it's good points. But not nearly as great as people are claiming.
I liked it, didn't think it was the greatest. Lot's of bad editing and jumping around. Could have been a little smoother.
I wish I went to this movie yesterday. Anything would have been better than the day I had!
I wanted to pipe in and say that I really enjoyed this movie. I’ve loved everything Eggers has put out, and I can’t wait to see what is next!
Such a tragic love story..the horror is what lures you in
Great video, love it, nice way to see the ending about the conection between both
The guy who played the doctor and the father in the witch has such a cool voice
He sounded so much like Alan Rickman I started gaslighting myself into believing that it was him 😅
Yes he does
Ralph Ineson! Love him.
this film is an opera of pure horror with a bloody erotic tone, meticulously orchestrated with dazzling perfection and very well orchestrated majestically impeccable in every detail photography art direction story characters soundtrack, absolutely everything, Count Orlok Nosferatu has a more terrifying, sinister, overwhelmingly impressive look than any other horror character in the history of cinema, especially vampires.
film looked cool but was shyte. orlock sucked and looked nothing like a vampire but a russian czar leper so stfu
Excellent job !!
Loved Gary Oldam as Dracula 1992 but going to watch nosferatu news years day with my Daughter in Ireland nervous but curious to see can t wait
Don’t compare them or you’ll be disappointed
@ I’ve just seen Nosferatu terrifyingly Beautiful I cried at the End
Great movie but hated the ending. Wished they changed it from the original. Thought it was cliche as hell. The entire castle scene and introduction to orlock was amazing. Final shot was crazy too.
I mean, the story is nearly as old as time. It’s a retelling of a story that was told in the 1800’s…of course it’ll feel “cliche”
Ending was basically the same from the one in the 20s except more sexual. She was always going to die
It’s how the original Nosferatu was killed.
I don't really know why people went into this movie expecting Eggers to fundamentally alter the story. He changed some things but kept most of the story intact. Nosferstu's death in this film is much more interesting than him evaporating in the sunlight (like the 1922 version) or having a seizure on the floor and dying (like the 1979 version).
@prettyfacemachine6972 I disliked the sexual take on the ending. It gives off vibes that she wanted Orlok, but then again she had to lure him and keep him there. So my feelings are probably incorrect as hell lol
The ending is about searching for that one thing your whole existence and setteling with whatever consequense after finding it, or becoming compleet as a being. That is why the count didn't run back to hide from the sunrise and rather chose to stay with her in his final moments because he knew that she wouldnt survive as well. It's quite a love story as well imo
I told my girlfriend, did the dude just forget the morning comes after night?
Bro was so pleased with himself pulling a baddie that yeah he just forgot that he had to sleep 😂
I loved it, it is just stunning.
Brilliant movie. Just stunning.
Just saw it tonight, 25 th Dec. and I was impressed with the Director's choices. It was very washed-out in color pattern and could see elements of Stoker's story that is seen in DRACULA films. Costuming was great, but one flaw that I saw was it took place in 1838 in "Germany". "Germany" as a country did not exist then, just a collection of Kingdoms and Duchies.
I was thinking the same fuckin thing hahaha
Robert Eggers is too much of a history buff to make a mistake like that. Germany the nation didn't exist in 1838, but the German Confederation was often referred to as "Germany". The term "Germany" dates back to at least the 18th century. So his use of Germany is not ahistorical.

Hamlet
I adore vampire lore and robert nailed it! So glad he glad to make this film. Definitely his best work in my opinion
the moustache put me out of the movie, reminded me of dr robotik in sonic the hedge hog or borat 😅
My thoughts exactly. When I finally caught a good look at his face, I was so disappointed. He immediately was no longer scary to me, he seemed so much less threatening with that damned muskrat on his face. It made him look too human. However, the skin on his face was too smooth, and those contacts just looked CG. It didn’t look like prosthetics to me, it looked airbrushed and animated. His hands looked great, his voice was great, that gross breathing was great; but the mustache just ruined it all, couldn’t focus on anything else.
I hate to say it but the mustache really took me out too
None of you understand Transylvanian culture.
@@lydiaboll2872 Nope, but I understand that that mustache looked dumb as hell.
The Virgin on the Horse thing is an Old World way of detecting if Draculas are in your graveyard..won't cross over the grave or something like that...
F. W. Murnau (Mer-now)
I'll admit the movie had some good visual scenery and shots. However, my criticism is that the plotline wasn't well established (what is Nosteratu? Is it a curse from the spirit world? How did Orlock become a vampire? "Release the demon from his body"). Ellen's inner emotions weren't explored further (why did she choose to sacrifice herself? Did she or did she truly feel a connection with the beast? What was this shame she spoke of?) A lot of people in my theater were yawning and appeared to be bored because it is 2 hours 12 miutes with a lot if visual shots that don't convey key points to the story line. I expected a bit more depth to the film from the "The Witch" director and more clear scenes of the beast.
"why did she choose to sacrifice herself" because he told her everyone she loved would die if she didnt?
@jessicmess6650 not every lady would sacrifice themselves "if everyone she loved would die"
I’m trying to find a deeper meaning to the film also. Was there anything preventable? Was there a mistake from either partner who caused this issue? Why did the occult book also give the answer on how to defeat nosferatu?
Is the message that nosferatu despite all his power was defeated due to his selfish lust and though sacrifice everyone could be saved?
What was the pull Dracula had on her? Was it some twisted lust inside her that was drawn back to him? Why was the recuritement 3 days? Couldn’t have just killed or captured her husband or something or made her go a bit more mad?
Cinematography was amazing, tone amazing, story telling great, characters and acting was great but the actual message is falling short. Was it a cautionary tale or just another angle of love conquers all?
@@joeandrew8752i think the secret of the story is that nosferatu was dying anyway, and he manipulated all the main characters to get exactly what he wanted before he died. Willem defoe was under his mimd control the whole time. I think the people in his original village were doing the correct rituals to kill him thats why he left his castle.
Yeah I bet a lot of people went to Nosferatu having no idea of its director nor thats its a remake of 1923 and more ir less will stay close to its plot. That’s where the majority of boredom comes from - it is simply not the movie for everyone, it’s not Marvel Dracula Untold etc. And in The Witch he wasn’t bound to the source and the plot was overall simpler to convey it effectively. With his attention to details I believe every confusion, every ambiguous details is left by him on purpose. Probably there will be tens of channels with easter eggs soon, but main takeaway I got from this movie is that it is one if a kind and very original, just like an opera or a painting, it might be too complex to appreciate for some or just not a personal taste but its a movie of a crazy quality no doubt
18min synopsis 2 min ending explained
Exactly. The whole time I was saying “get to the point!!!!”
When i watched it i figured she ended up giving in to the count rather than her doing it for the good of the world
So I just got done watching it and while it was a great version of this story, I like that the Count wasn’t a prissy aristocrat and was closer to what lore states, Willem Defoe killed it as Vin France, but I kinda wish I hadn’t spent money to see it. If you over lay this film with Dracula it is almost beat for beat the same story. Great movie but I think there could and needs to be a revitalization of vampire movies.
It was meant to be book accurate! Oh, my god.
Let's take Christmas back! It was always a time of horror and ghost stories. Oh, and btw, new years day should be the first day of spring.
Christmas is a stupid holiday and I am done with it. I am not a Christian and have not been ever in my life. I am all for Happy Horror Movie day!
It's a shame how many people didn't understand the movie, but not surprising because it's occult.
The movie is more of a psychological horror, it follows the story of women in society. Basically confirmed when Dr said
"you would've been a priests of isis" she instead became a witch because of her own delusions, nerferatu is basically her mind.
Especially shown at the end where Thomas didn't even react to nosferatu it was a story on how a man lost his woman
^Very barebones summary, with no explanations of the occult and deeper themes
Ur dum alittle, buti 'm sure youre smart in other ways..
u noticed the MOST OBVIOUS theme CONGRATS ELIJAH!!! You know what... Since u pointed out that theme, I deem u one of the "good guys" XD Nerferatu
@daylynnpickle5297 thanks I guess
Thank you I was waiting for this comment it’s a very niche group that will thoroughly enjoy and understand this’s movie. I just came from seeing it and I’m geeked
I understand what they were trying to do, but "weird necro cucking fantasy" is way more the vibe delivered. This is coming from someone who really loves all the rest of the movie but feels they flubbed the ending.
@torreyjones4421 he deserved to be cucked imo, he represents a guy in his first relationship or a "mortal". She never addressed her darkness in her past and she only reveals that later. He foolishly got with her without knowing her past, and he never knew abt the deeper side of the mind and dismissed her as having fantasy. He was the mortal fighting against death and its influences, its an archetypal story of man
Hello..I don't see the ending?
Just saw it..only thing I didn't like was the mustache they gave Nosferatu..but I think ya need to watch it twice to get the true emotion from it
I saw it today too, and a Freddie Mercury stache on orlock was just not…necessary?
@@Megan80was to pay homage to vlad the impaler
@@Megan80it’s book accurate
Nah mustache was goated
@@Megan80'Variety' online has an interview with the director, and he explained the decision for the mustache: "Try to find a Transylvanian person who’s of age who can grow a mustache that doesn’t have a mustache. It’s part of the culture."
I may have to watch again but it wasn’t great to me. Felt like eggers did a lot of repetitive things seen in the witch. dafoe is the same character in his last film and orlok lost his scary presence once you’ve seen him so many times. Seems the stronger scenes were rushed for pointless dialogue and was way too long of a movie.
No one expanded on why the villagers stabbed that corpse or what that corpse even was in that coffin.

@ thank you for this brother, but a they never truly confirmed it
Eggers always makes visually stunning films. However, there is very little that is new in this film. The story is very much told from her (Depps) perspective, but that is nothing groundbreaking. Sorry man, outside of the visual beauty the movie is becoming overrated.
The story is a faithful adaptation to Stoker’s Dracula and the 1922 nosferatu. It doesn’t need to be something original just for the sake of it. I think you expected something new and didn’t get it
OP, do you also get mad at the Harry Potter movies for being book accurate? Because that’s what Nosferatu was. Too bad if you hated it.
I liked the movie but I was confused at times.
Hahahaahahha
same
Omg same! I kept asking was it a dream or real
@ ahhhhahahahahh
Can’t wait to see this
I was mad as hell at the end I woulda had to crash out on the doctor 😂
Great movie 👌🏼
Regardless of the weirdos that wanna turn it into some cheesy female empowerment statement, her performance was brilliant and I think she'll be up for some awards.
I think this movie is about lust. We're told that Ellen is "different ". Our girl had a fling with a "bad boy" type and is not satisfied with her marriage. Ellen wants/needs more than her husband can provide. Her marriage in comparison to the other couple is telling. They have 2+1 kids where our Ellen doesn't have any.
She kinda finds out her husband is gonna encounter her x boyfriend and sends a clue to he x (a flock of hair). The X boyfriend gets the message loud and clear. This void in Ellen hurts everyone around her (close friends then the town). She does have 3 serious conversations with men throughout the movie which shows how men (society) don't understand her. She "defeats" the vampire by having sex with him all night long? The ending baffles me. This whole film is about Ellens journey to "get over" her lust.
Pleae prove me wrong cuz I think I'm missing something.
yes. that is exactly it. it's more psychological then anything. it was Ellen's yearning for pleasure.
and in the end she got it
I don’t think you understand, her x boyfriend was a shameful memory she had as she wanted love at no cost and made a pact with an evil diety/demon/vampire where she gets immediately SA’d. Time passes and she is now a young woman who has found her real love which was no one else but her husband. The count finds where she is hiding and tricks the husband to give her up. The abusive X is all the terrible malice, uses manipulation the whole time. What you must know is the vampire casts powerful curses that make Ellen lust for orlok but not love. That’s why she refuses him even when people die around her, but she could not bear to loose her true love “husband”. So she has “sex” with her evil desire she made along time ago and sacrifices herself to the count. She atones for her past by sacrificing her life to the demon and therefore sparing her husband who she truly loved. The ending she actually indeed enjoys her dark melancholic desire giving in to her pact which Orlok obviously had spelled bound her to feel ultimate ecstasy. It’s indeed tragic and bittersweet as many critics say
The kind of story that you tell is what delusional women are fond of and want them to do these kind of things without any consequences.
Not what I got from this movie at all.
Orlok grooms Ellen since I child and was pretty much spiritually molesting her until she found love in Thomas and Orlok’s power over her disappeared.
After the honeymoon he enacts his plan to go to town and get her himself because she was getting her happily ever after
When they meet he pretty much victim blames her, he might as well said “well you were asking for it look at what you were wearing” lol
He gave her those 3 rules thing but neither Tom/Ellen would do that. But he tricked Tomas to sign the divorce papers & pretty much forced Ellen by bringing the plague upon the town to get what he wants.
He pretty much told Ellen “fuck me or everyone you love and this entire town will die” . She was coerced to even have sex with him just to save everyone else
Only one with “lust”here is the Count and you saw all the gnarly things he did just to get it. Ellen says countless times that it was torture for her even though he perceived it as “lust”
The look they gave the antagonist yields like no one seen in cinematic history except Jim Carey’s Lemony Snickets with a Burt Reynolds Stache!!! Really??
shocked at the ending scene ! they did “it” until morning !? what the F !
Be like Count Orlok. Even Count Orlok does not approve rope. He asked for her consent.
Thank you for sharing this with us all 🧛🏼
I suspect the director was trying to offer his version of a Ripley visually to market it as a year end hit.
Basically that Netflix movie except he was gay
I liked this Nosferatu but it doesn't beat Bram Stokers Dracula. But I will say Depp and Hoult were absolutely amazing in this film.
The 1992 version comes with a romantic cliché to offer an escapist fantasy from reality for women. Being an escape valve from their monotonous and mediocre lives.
I just want to see what count orlock looks like
Nosferatu explores themes of sacrifice, and obsession. Lily-Rose Depp embodies 🦂Scorpio-like traits with her deep loyalty and willingness to surrender to evil for love-Count Orlok 🦇. Even lust. The chilling ship scenes echo the tension of “The Last Voyage of the Demeter,” blending dread with poetic tragedy.
These movies should serve as a warning for us. When we give into temptation more, the demons manifest themselves more fully in the world. In times of loneliness and despair it is tempting to enter into a relationship with sin/death. Ofc this doesn’t solve our problems and ultimately just leads to death. The vampire is a perfect representation as it drinks people’s blood but only for its own purpose and gives nothing back to the world except for death. Once the monsters manifest themselves physically it’s harder to condemn them back to hell and that’s why she had to sacrifice herself (like Christ). She traded her life to save the people she loved and the whole town since the vampire brought the plague with him. Although it would have been nice to see the monks and nuns fix the problem, it would not have fit the message of this movie. Warning: Sin leads to death.
Interesting
The movie was magnificent, so beautiful and so evil at the same time.
i think the dracula novel is closer to this with a mustach like the 1992 version.
awesome movie- the count/lord so powerful but blinded with love he lost track of time and fried in the sun......................
Bro was a complete simp lost all respect for him in the end
There is nothing more self-explanatory than how this movie ends, seriously this obsession with wanting to find metaphors or new interpretations of something that is almost spoon-fed to you, is pretentious and exhausting.
but you looked it up in the search bar
@thepoliticaltrap3010 no my dear, i am watching Nosferatu videos on youtube, and youtube recommends you other related videos. Then i clicked exactly because i find pathetic to write "ending explained" in a movie like this.
Somehow, they try to turn this into a "men is misogynistic " story lmao gtfoh. When in reality all this is the females fault but no one holds her accountable

♦️ and guest what ?? There will be more. Some people do UA-cam reviews because some UA-camrs like to compare it to the (a) book or a previous movie version.
♦️Some UA-camrs have fans of their work and just love their journalism.
♦️Why do people watch sports highlights is all they can do is just Google who won the game.
♦️So people watch for the creditability of the UA-camr
@@ehsimeserve8324it’s just a UA-cam trend creators use when they want to talk about a movie for the last like 10 years it’s not that deep
