- Watch Bram Stoker's Dracula Now: AAN.SonyPictures.com/BramStoke...
BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA / Gary Oldman and Winona Ryder star in the tortured tale of a charismatic vampire, based on the tale of the Prince of Darkness. / Gary Oldman, Winona Ryder and Anthony Hopkins star in director Francis Ford Coppola's visually stunning, passionately seductive version of the classic Dracula legend. In BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA, Coppola returns to the original source of the Dracula myth, and from that gothic romance, he creates a modern masterpiece. Gary Oldman's metamorphosis as Dracula who grows from old to young, from man to beast is nothing short of amazing. Winona Ryder brings equal intensity to the role of a young beauty who becomes the object of Dracula's devastating desire. Anthony Hopkins co-stars as the famed doctor who dares to believe in Dracula, and then dares to confront him. Opulent, dazzling and utterly irresistible, this is Dracula as you've never seen him. And once you've seen BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA, you'll never forget it.
Priest seeing a mourning husband: "now is the time for me to tell him his wife's soul cannot be saved and she is damned for all eternity".
🤔 so much for priests been comforting and compassionate in a time of mouring... especially to the warrior with weapons, defending your church in a war. That logic seems ligit.
@@glazierblue573 mourning not moaning L0L
I never looked at it that way you make me laugh so hard
@@crimsonhunter7598 Morning not Mouring
Lol...yeah ...he should have spoken more wisely and should have directed Draculas rage and hate towards the Turks by blaming them responsible for his wife's death.
Dracula would have retaken Constantinople then 😄
The thing I like most about this incarnation of Dracula is that it didn’t try to force him to be relatable but presented him in a very tragic way first. His wife had been condemned by the God and religion he had just defended, he’d lost everything and so rather than making a deal with the devil (as is hinted in the original book), him denouncing god makes his story more tragic and at least empathetic, being told his wife is damned for all time.
In fact this has probably gone onto influence many other incarnations, with Mina as his wife’s reincarnation and is often thought as “cannon” in the Dracula lore.
If you red the book than you know they did pretty good job
At one point he tells the priest he will rise from the dead and use all the powers of darkness...to me that infers dancing with the devil? Or were there other ideas as to what the darkness is?
@@mmcsquared001 It's all movie stuff.....Satan can't make anyone turn to like a beast who can transform at any time....he doesn't have that power.
The film has a very poor repertoire. Vampires are like mermaids and as there is the song of the sirens, there is the manipulation of vampires with their victims.
The film lost all that manipulative and cruel style of the book.
Right, exactly.
Now THAT'S how you start a movie. Yeah!!! 👍
It's why it's the best version of the dark prince
What a great movie, Gary Oldman is a living legend.
His best performances are in Bram Stoker‘s Dracula, The-Dark-Knight-Trilogy and in Oppenheimer:)
@@superkent2245 naah
Masterpiece of a movie
Dracula in full ARMOUR would’ve been absolutely terrifying to fight against!!……..the opening scenes was superb
No love greater than a man who would give his LIFE and SOUL for his beloved lady!!……
many men should be like Dracula fiercly loyal to their brides until death Im a woman and true love is eternal, I believe in that strongly i will one day find a mate who will love me with a strong devoted passion and i will love him equally because once you find that special someone you dont let them go. you only find that love once in a millenia.
Find you a man who loves you as much as Dracula loved Elizabeta
You have to be as loyal as Elizabeta for that though and most are not these days.
When I first saw this movie in theaters....I left thinking why and for what reason did he died if he had the power of darkness in him fight off how many .....4 dudes? but then later I began to realize that the movie is not about him have to live with that power but the curse that made him vulnerable of living immortally without his love one....that level of emptiness that put him in that position of his life and for 400 yrs......came another but not the same but enough to satisfy his loneliness and the longing of feeling the love that he lost......that was the burden he was dealing with.....thats my 2cents.
I think you need the drama of medieval war and a short life for this kind of intense love.. all my exes are shallow wankers lol
so what happened with Lucy doesn't count as cheating?
As long as you're not a modern western woman then it should be easy.
Nothing is more dangerous than the person that is cursed for eternity because of love.
I love how they all got intertwined in next life, all apart Dracula who technically stayed same just immortal monster. Elizabeta turned to Mina and priest turned to van Helsing. They were all connected through fate.
I think situations happens like this in real life as well.
I like how no one, absolutely no one, has remarked that it was Sir Anthony Hopkins who was playing the Priest. Nice call back to him opposing Dracula later as Van Helsing.
The Art direction, the images edition and post production of this movie are amazing...making it timeless
The opening battle is both epic and scary.
only a scary battle b/c it was somewhat based on truth
@@user-bg9cl6nw5o I always thought it was the music that made it seem scary.
@@trasegorsuch5140
nuh uh, the music is AWESOME in my opinion, and definitely works 4 this movie
@@user-bg9cl6nw5o I can not deny that this movies soundtrack is great.
@@trasegorsuch5140 the whole movie is just bad ass and in my opinion 1 of the best vamp movies
Im surprise no one says "Still better love story than Twilight" for this 😂
That priest just had to push Dracul over the edge , didn't he ?
Yup 💀
That was played by Anthony Hopkins too lol
I saw this movie first as a girl and thought it was an amazing monster flick but now that I have seen it a few times as an adult I see now this version of Dracula is a sympathetic monster at worst and at best a man who lost that most dear to him then damned himself in a fit of mournful rage left to dwell for all time with what he lost and did to himself.
Love story
Favorite Dracula!
Now THIS is how to start a movie!
So… basically somebody wrote a fake letter and literally ruined humanity?
I tell ya, those 15th century Reddit trolls were merciless!
I imagine the guy who wrote the fake letter coming to Dracula afterwards and telling him: "you should have seen your face, dude"
"It was just a prank bro!"
The Turks were so terrified with a man they created that they trolled him into becoming a deadly creature of the night.
Epic fail.
@@granron23 OMG... 😂😂
Incredible music from polish composer Wojciech Kilar.Amazing!
This is such a great tale. It's symbolic for the root of all evil, living in all of us. The ego's resistance to reality.
Very human.
And desastrous.
Best opening to a 🎞 ever!
A ❤️🔥 So strong it withstands the test of time… Creates it’s own wrinkle in the fabric of destiny..
Drácula de Coppola. Simplemente espectacular 😎👆
Fantastic opening
True love story
Best Duo after Johnny Depp .... 😭❤
This is a fantastic movie.
Guy just needed counseling and a mood stabilizer
He found a nice bit of impaling, more theraputic..!
Thanks, needed that laugh.
Ive heard mixed things about this movie, I absolutely loved it. Some say its somewhat faithful to the book, as well there was a bbc special that was a mini series thats more like the book
The writer and director didn't want to go full-on with the book or other Dracula movies. Instead of giving us references from the 📖 but with a twist. They wanted to show him as a man first, a man who was once a good man who turned dark after losing the love of his life. I love how Dracula didn't force Mina into becoming a vampire and showed the raw love he had for his bride. I also think this ending is much better than the book. It shows Dracula getting his beautiful soul back, showing love is stronger than death.
That's the voice of van Helsing we hear as the narrator
And the priest he played in too.
@@JPLMONEY23 yessir
Well executed movie 🎥🎥.... The customes and a well writ of movie
It’s an intro like this that inspires any nascent filmmaker
No man has ever loved a woman more......
The best intro scene ever made
Sad..loved the movie
One of the best origin stories to me
Ce film est une œuvre d'art, des comédiens excellents et une réalisation, costumes , décors impeccables. Une des meilleures représentations du compte Dracul. Je la revois toujours sans me lasser.
This movie is legendary
Who are the three brides of Dracula and why did he feel the need for them if he only needed elizabeta
Well, he needs some fun to in meantime until he finds her again
tried to make them like elizabeta but none same and pure like her
Amo esse filme ❤❤❤❤
Drácula, Creature!!! CÉLIA Sousa !!!! ❤❤
After seeing this, the crucifix makes a lot of sense now. Vampires fear it because it symbolises the Lord being against them and they are afraid of his wrath and back down
Gary ist awsome ooooo
When mom makes me go to mass on sunday
In the novel, there is only a brief mention of Vlad Tepes (Stoker supposedly only read about Vlad near the completion of the book and added a brief mention of the historical Vlad). The Coppola film expands this brief mention but does it well while still being mostly faithful to the novel.
True love is a b I t c h I know I miss my true love TERLINA ST ROSE SO much when our hands are into each other we can move mountains 🤝
Love thatmovie❤
my first time seeing it was at oak grove 8 cinemas
I get his fury. He fought for a god who's representative then told him his love would not be saved. I will not believe in such a heartless god
Pagan
The Abrahamic religions are clear in their texts about what is charitable and what is condemnable. Common decency cannot be found in all of the tenets Christianity, Judaism, or Islam.
At the end of the movie it's implied that he is at peace and God has forgiven him. God was not as merciless as humans thought. So maybe they were wrong about her being saved after all?
It's a movie. That's not reality. God isn't like that.
❤frumos film
Eyes still twitching at 3:00
이 영화보고 게리 올드먼 팬이 됐습니다.
This is very sad
Did he like that lassie?
was the priest Anthony Hopkins too?
Vlad'ın ölümü hakkında birçok rivayet bulunmaktadır ancak en kabul gören görüşe göre Vlad, Aralık 1476 ve Ocak 1477 tarihleri arasında 300 Rumen askeri ile birlikte Osmanlı ordusuna mağlup oldu ve kılıçla başı gövdesinden ayrılarak idam edildi.
😳😳😳
I think what I’ve know is Lucy thinks that her husband thinks that he’ll die so probably she’ll die to for him. 😧
Sânge este viața și vor fi și viața mea
Almost :).
@@BuddhaOwl De ce almost?
Le bon délire de Coppola.
L'ennui, c'est la suite avec cette histoire d'amour débile entre Mina et Dracula, complètement le contraire de ce qui est décrit dans le roman !
Does anyone else think that Johnny Dep would make a fantastic Dracula?
No.
😍😍😍
In his younger years he would have
With his Jack Sparrows voice (On which he's stuck with lol)......no.
He already played a vampire. Didn't get the job done
This Film is About Life of Drácula! Drácula , and is Country, Transilvânia !!!! Drácula whas, a PERSON terrible and diferent of all the Mans, in this World !!!

I've heard that Vlad the Impaler on whom Dracula is based enslaved over 50,000 Romani people and seemed to enjoy torutring them. And that even though he's regarded by some in Romania for preventing an Ottoman invasion the majority of his army were Romani slaves.
I am rather certain the majority of his army were Romanians, and most of them were peasants or shepherds. But he did have some gypsy contingents that were enslaved. And he had some mercenaries as well.
Yep he was a monster!
Yeah he is one of the biggest mass murderers in human history
Well God couldn't even be bothered to whisper in her ear? Gives him strength on the battlefield then condemns them both to hell. Vlad the impaler was not fictional either someone should do a proper biotopic about him.
Thank Satan for Gary Oldman in this 🎥
Constantinople is fallen 1453
Knowing a loved one is condemned I can’t think of anything else worse to live with than that but taking it out on God is too far
🇺🇦♥️
This movie really bites. I didn't like how they made Dracula a BIG softy. As if Hotel Transylvania wasn't the only movie to ruin Drac's image and reputation. This one is a pain in the neck. Seriously. Gary Oldman was a bloody mess as Dracula. He went totally batty.
Do you know who helped turks capture Constantinopol? German tribes. Their engineers built for turks machines which destroyed gates and made holes in walls. Not hating anyone, just history. Germans had good engineers for a long time.
Bullshit.
Was the river dry she's not wet
They removed her clothes and gussied her up a bit for Draculas return. Taking great care that she had the cleanest boobs for ol vlad..
If you look closely she is wet.
It's very theatrical rather than realistic.
@@xamurai00get help
Dracula 'prized Elisabeta above all things on Earth', yet he chose the war, apparently it being more important than Elisabeta. Sorry, the movie is awsome, but this is the only thing that will never make sense.
Duty is duty
@@user-pj4rf1jf9d If some people value some human made up concept more than the actual people in their lives then that's their loss and stupidity. Can't help it
@@yiling-vf1ge i understand it) but try to explain same to count from 15 century who is proud for his glorious ancestors and his legacy.
@@user-pj4rf1jf9d Sadly, that does make sense, of course. The further you go back, the darkest it is
@@yiling-vf1ge Because you are too subjective, so naturally nothing will make sense to you. You called everything Dracula stands for a "human-made-up-concept" (yet weirdly don't consider his love for Elisabeta as human made-up?), also you don't acknowledge the fact that Dracula was at that time a count with responsibilities and much to lose, and that fleeing/surrender poses it's own risks that may even be greater than choosing war.
Besides her made the right choice, he won the war. It is just Dracula naturally wouldn't expect the Turks to act completely counter-intuitively out of spite, nor would he expect his wife to have such little faith in his victory.
