Completely agreed. The opening of this movie gives me goosebumps every single time i watch it. The score, the scenery, the direction, the acting. An amazing movie.
Yes, you just know this is going to be a serious movie, but unlike all others, I find the end sad. She came to love him and he her, but at the end they were parted again! In this movie there is no happy ending for anyone except Van Helsing. I often wondered what happened between Jonathan and Mina afterwards. Did they continue their marriage or did they go separate ways? Did Mina hate the three men for what they did? We know she tried to delay them by using her dark powers. Did she understand, but refuse to forgive them? This movie is dark from the start and a love story but without a happily-ever-after! What type of movie or story is this then? Easy, unique.

The Priest surely had the lowest EQ all the time... Telling a hero of church bluntly who just got home exhausted physically and mentally from the battlefield that his lover was damned, such a no perfect time to tell.. "Welcome hero, you must be exhausted, anyway your love was dead, and she damned"
In life there are no rights or wrongs. Only what you choose to do and what you choose not to do, so choose wisely. It was his spiritual test. The words from the priest should have been ignored. Instead he became pure evil in his choosing. It damned him to live an eternity in hell on earth without his love who was waiting for him in paradise in death which should never be feared as it is the unknown. This scene is very symbolic. If this were to happen you or anyone for that matter, to be broken and distraught in your love lost is expected. In that moment wanting the answer to why is best followed up with forgiveness in your heart for those responsible rather than wanting revenge and becoming the deadly sin known as wrath. To truly forgive another in this thing we call life is one of the most amazing feelings one can ever experience. It cleanses the soul and opens your mind in a way unique to each person that encounters everything that lead up to that decision while in an emotional moment of heartbreak. This goes along with our current moment of time. These are unprecedented times. Best of luck to everyone. Remember to avoid wrath at all costs. Don't allow yourself to be damned. It's your choice. We all have that chance to choose in a defining moment of life.
Whether you loved or hated this version of Dracula, there's no denying that Francis Ford Coppola's vampires as creatures were incredible. Evil and menacing as hell. Just from the first seconds of the movie, you know that this isn't the crap we get nowadays, and that he takes the classical vampire and makes it a thousand times more intense.
I think the point was that Dracula WAS NOT evil in this. Literally the whole purpose of the film is to make him a tortured anti-hero. Loyal soldier of Christendom who felt betrayed and in the end was redeemed. Pure evil cannot be redeemed
@@doriangray2020 Eee 😂 your life is so miserable, you try to put others down because you crave true love, it is okay young grasshopper, hope is there for you or not 😏
People still pray to the order of the dragon, and to Vlad Dracul the impaler, somewhere in the mountains of Carpathia in Transylvania. Some tourists never came back.
This movie is the most vivid memory that I have of my best friend that I grew up with in the 70s, we went and saw that movie together. And then we couldn’t wait for the VHS to come out and rewatch it over and over because we thought the love story was just the most beautiful thing ever. And then my friend and I were sitting on my couch in my apartment, watching the movie on VHS, and she fell asleep with her head on my shoulder, and she never woke up again. She died of a brain aneurysm right there next to me watching our favorite movie. Anyway I don’t mean to be a party pooper, this movie just has such strong memories for me, And I love watching it despite it all. It brings me closer to my friend Jacqueline. May she rest in peace.
"Bram Stoker's Dracula"(1992) is an Epic Vampire horror movie masterpiece! The movie's opening scene was inspiring and well made! This movie looks like a perfect painting!
I am waiting on the day that someone gets enough vision to film the REAL, whole story of how"the Old Vlad" came to be. The actual truth is a hair-raising story of he was abused by his father, hated by his own brother, bartered for military advantage & held hostage in Turkish prison while his younger brother became a concubine of the then-Sultan. And even thru all.of that (he was a teen ager @ the time), he got himself together enough to.talk the Turkish authorities into giving him.an audience w/the Sultan where he pledged his loyalty to him & said that he knew how to.defeat his father, who by then had turned against the Turkish Empire to defend his own country. He offered to do so if the Sultan would give him enough men & weapons to do.the job, & the Sultan released him from prison & gave him.his blessing. This young Prince from Transylvania kept his word & went after his father & brother on the battle field & killed them both, then turned around & used the forces at his command to drive out the Turks. The man who.became Dracula spent the rest of his life alternating between a fierce protector of his homeland & people & the unholy creature his people believed He had become He was astoundingly reverent in his worship of God & showed great compassion for the people he ruled who.lived near his castle. Of all.the small.kingdoms in Eastern Europe, Turkey coukd never quite manage to conquer Transylvania while he lived. But he was also extremely demanding of his subjects, requiring them.to bathe regularly - which was actually considered unhealthy at the time! - & to keep their clothing clean & in good repair & for the men to.keep.themselves clean shaven. To my knowledge, he took no wife but he did have several.mistresses. The most notorious of those was a woman who, one evening as she entertained him, told him.that she was now pregnant. They finished their usual business, after which he calmly got out of bed, picked up.his sword & killed her, then cut open her womb to expose the pregnancy. Hearing the ensuing racket, guards came rushing in to protect him only to.find this scene. And he flat out told them: "Let all see what I.have done...& where my fruit lay..."; & he just walked away & left the house & the mess. We have by now all.heard the reports of how "Vlad, the Impaler" took.hi meals while watching those he had ordered impaled die. We have also.heard abt what happened when the envoys from.Turkey came to.broker peace w/him & wouldn't remove their hats. He had his guards nail.their turbans to their heads & sent them.back to.the Sultan. During his lifetime, he established several monasteries & convents along w/ many public shrines to.Christ, some of which were resting places for travelers where they could get water from the springs there. Those shrines all had dedicated jeweled goblets of silver where the travelers could drink; & it was known that any theft from those shrines would be punished by the warlord who.had put them.there. As long as he lived, those giblets were not disturbed.
One of the best openings ever. The creative story telling. The visuals like smoke rising around the cross, Elisabetha falling through the letter, the shadow fight scene and the bloody cross. The end with the writing with the flames looked like a cremation and the Carmina Burana like music reminded me of bits on the neck or stake stab through the heart. Just perfect.
First saw this around Christmas time in 2006. My brother had borrowed it from his girlfriend at the time and I instantly fell in love with it. I watched it over and over again. Best Dracula ever!
I love how after the impaling of a soldier the scene cuts into a forest of impaled people, as if he is behind all of it… there is so much to love about this opening, the blood red skies, his armor, the horse ride back to the castle with all of those impaled bodies, his love drifting from the high skies, the absurd amount of blood pouring from the cross
This is my absolutely favourite Dracula movie, and I’ve seen them all … I think! Way better than Anne Rice’s vampires by a long shot, but her books are epic. 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦
Gary gives some of the best character sketches be it Dracula or Churchill but my most favorite is him playing Beethoven in Immortal beloved that deserved an Oscar.
What I find so fascinating is they made the real life man and dracula the fictional character the same guy for the film. In the book dracula was never vlad the impaler. He had no backstory like this. The one problem this movie has is it retcons this opening near the end of the film when van hellsing speaks to Mina about Dracula. In real life theres a legend that vlad's first wife throwed herself to the river in suicide like what happens in the film. But it never made Vlad turn against the church, however what did was him being ordered to stop his crusade against the turks as peace was being negotiated and he still went to fight and died. Van Hellsing tells Mina it was his bloodlust that damned him to be a vampire which makes more sense, and adds more to when he asks god at the end of the film "why have you forsaken me?" Compared to when he stabbed the cross and went nuts over his wife in the opening.
They did all the effects in camera for this movie! They used paper puppets in the background, projecting their shadows while Gary Oldman walked around and swung a sword- no post-production effects.
Now thats love so intense gary oldman is amazing actor he gives us his all in this scene u actually thinks its real , there aren't many actors that can do that . He gives the story such realism the love between him and Elizabeth wil never die. Its such a sad story dracula never has a happy ending . I really injoyed Jonathan ryes myres Playing dracula god that was 1 beautiful sexy vampire , and also a happy ending I was very annoyed when there wasn't a season 2 , I've watched bram stokers dracula at least about 27 times and I've never got bored over and over the music and costumes were stunning so beautiful they don't make films like that anymore. Xxx
But she was reborn again as Mina. So she wasn’t damned. So the Hindu theory of rebirth is confirmed vs the Abrahamic concept of one birth and then resurrection at the end as per this version. Vlad unnecessarily went through all this.
This film begins in 1462 with the Ottoman invasion of Wallachia; a night battle takes place (ostensibly the Night Attack), ending with Ţepeş victorious. Historically it took place on June 17, 1462 outside Târgovişte. Wallachian forces failed assassinate Sultan Mehmed II, but the Ottoman army suffers heavily casualties. Mehmed marched to the Wallachian capital of Târgovişte, where he discovered another 20,000 impaled Turks and Bulgarians. Demoralised, the Sultan and his troops retreated.
I was born in 1999 my gf rn is 36 she saw this when she was 6 she she showed me this yesterday and it a amazing movie only reason why we did is because on her facebook bio she has the quote “I have crossed oceans of time to find you “ and I would always say it to her then after she would ask me if I know where it’s from and I said no so she didn’t like the fact I would say and not know about it until yesterday first time watching this masterpiece now when I say it to her it’s with real feelings and emotions
The performance Oldman gives here and the one Momoa gives in Game of Thrones when he tells his people he will go to Westeros are very similar, given their physical size difference the performance for Oldman is truly awesome.
Shocked and maddened by pain, he made a Deal with the Devil/Demiurge/Nachash (deceived, like all humanity, by the latter), who, in exchange for his soul, granted him a new immortal life and terrifying powers. But to maintain such powers and immortality he would have to feed on human blood.
I loved watching bram Stoker's Dracula starring Gary Oldman on Netflix and I was disappointed to find that the y have taken it off please Netflix consider putting this great movie back on again everyone loves it 👍👍👍👍
Piss poor reason. A dumb woman who believes everything she reads without proof, then decides to commit a mortal sin without proof her love was dead and without at least honoring him with a funeral, a memorial of some sort, a statue.....heck.....not even a library. Knowing what a man of god her love was, she denied herself entrance to heaven and managed to lose him twice. She was not worth coming home to.
This introduction demonstrates in a brutally real literary way the true origin of the legend of the myth of Count Dracula The Nosferatu also called Wladislaus Dragulia or simply Vlad Tepes Impaler
@JVbin I never disagreed with the idea that showing some subtlty would have been better in this scenario; I just meant that nobody could have predicted that Dracula would react THAT badly or in that manner
One of the greatest openings of all time
AMEN 🙏 to that PrimalElf. 💪
My personal favorite!
Very true and can listen to the intro music score over and over again.
You right
Truly.
The action, the romance, the costume, the acting. Just pure perfection. Ford Coppola is a genius and Gary Oldman is the greatest Dracula of all time.
set design.
One of my favorite movie
Mina and Drácula never was loved, Ita disgusting!
Dude I agree. Gary oldman is definitely the greatest Dracula of all time. I'm a grown man now and I know it's acting and I still get terrified.

A love so fierce that treachery and death could not stop it.
I watched it 4 times at the cinema. And many times on the small screen.

I love how the drama is turned up to 11 - this could easily have been supercheesy but they pulled it off beautifully.
Shocked and maddened by pain, he made a Deal with the Devil/Demiurge/Nachash (deceived, like all humanity, by the latter), who, in exchange for his soul, granted him a new immortal life and terrifying powers. But to maintain such powers and immortality he would have to feed on human blood.
Sounds like a great plan 👍
best dracula film by far. the love story did not work but all else was awseome. especially the brides!
Its sad that society is actually WORSE than a world with Dracula.

But I'm sorry, I almost forgot:
