- Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) FULL TIMELINE EXPLAINED Today we’re going to take a look at the entire story and plot line from 1992’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, one of my favourite directors due to the fact he challenged the norm of conventional film making. I think he done such a good job with this movie and thats not easy because Dracula is character that can be either made too complicated by overdoing the narrative or his character is used and inserted into franchises and movies that basically change everything about him, just using the name, which rarely sees success. However Bram Stokers Dracula is one that hit the nail right on the head and I’ll be taking you all through the entire movie from start to finish while providing explanations for the majority of the stories reasoning.

For me, this is the best vampire film of all time. Gary Oldman and Anthony Hopkins killed it.
And Neo tried the virtual Dracula simulation too. 👍
True.. Only if christopher lee was dracula
Still best dracula was Leslie Nielsen@@jishnukannan2872
The both literally, and figuratively chewing up the scenery
Gary Oldman is a master of his acting skill. You can actively believe his roles and that is why this movie is a classic
I 100% agree.
I concur! He made Dracula a sympathetic character. I found myself WANTING he and Mina to be together forEVER! But then I realized that she was NOT Vlad's Elisabeta. She only reminded him of her. His Elisabeta was waiting for him in the afterlife. In the end, Mina sent him on to her, forgiven and redeemed by God because the love between them two overcame the evil that he had become and allowed his soul to be reconciled to God and reunited with his beloved Elisabeta in death because of love.
This was always a love story for me, never a horror movie. Glad you saw that too.
I always thought so too,until i watched again today and realized his true form is the 400 year old decripit old vampire and he can only be younger again when he drink the blood of a virgin. So yes he is cursed and since misery loves company he wanted to take Mina with him to walk the earth as the undead feeding on the blood of the living,there is hints to witchcraft like Faust with the bpue flames that Mina also used later to bring a storm to cover the sun,and sacrifice of children twice in the movie,so yes its horror disguised as romance,I see you would have fell for his bs just to regret it later when you see his true form later : the 400 year old diciripit walking corpse who has to feed on the living.
Pardon the spelling errors Im tripping on shrooms
@@h.b4219 Can I have some?
Gary Oldman killed it in this movie, pun intended lol. I always liked Dracula's shadow doing its own thing. I wonder when Dracula has his red eyes and darkest self is the shadow part of himself taking over, at least with this interpretation. Keanu's accent is the only tough part for me in the flick. Classic.
Am I the only one disappointed Mina and Vlad didn’t end up becoming eternal vampire lovers? 😂 still an amazing story and movie, one of my favourites 🖤
So was I😂
@@VampireFolkloreVideos I just watched the end of the video and heard your agreement 😂 still a satisfying ending, the best depiction of Dracula on screen
Pretty sure everyone has after watching this movie
Per the ceiling painting in the chapel, I think they end up together in Heaven.
Dracula is just a psychopath like Hitler and Mina is just a fool like Eva Braun.
And Draucla was supposed to go to hell. He killed a baby.
If you ever get to Napa California you can tour the Coppola Winery and see the costumes from this film which are on permanent display. The red leather armor from Vlad is amazing
The start and end have elizabitha in vlads arms and at the end vlad in minas arms mirroring each other so it comes full circle.
The scene in the asylum where dracula turns into a bat like creature was actually Gary Oldmans idea and it works perfectly in the scene.
Apparently Bram Stoker intended the book to be a true story and the publishers said they would only print it as fiction and 100 pages were removed. I'd love to read those pages. This is one of my all time favourite vampire films remember watching it when I was 12 and had just come out to rent or buy and the effects makeup everything blow my mind . It's a great film and has aged amazingly
While I don't know about 100 pages being cut from Dracula I do know there was more to the travels of Johnathan Harker to castle Dracula, it was later released as a short story called Dracula's Guest and it fleshed out Harker's travels to Castle Dracula a bit more. In which he comes across other elements of the supernatural letting him know there are forces at work not only after him but also driving him to Castle Dracula. I'm unsure why it was cut from the novel but Stoker's wife decided after his passing to release those pages as the popularity of the book and character had grown. It is a nice companion piece for the novel and worth a read.
@donovanbradford8231 I will have to look for that thank you. OTS channel only true stories channel had the bit about 100pages being removed from the novel if you're interested check it out. Was very interesting about Bram Stoker. This is Bram Stoker month in Dublin so I'm going to enjoy it. Definitely going to look for that book too so thank you. Take care.
This was my favorite Dracula movie hands down. The cinematography is still prestigious till this day ❤
I cannot describe how well done this synopsis is! This has always been one of my fave movies since I first saw it in my 20s when it came out, but your breakdown of each character made the film even more captivating! Great job!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Quincy is an American living in London in hopes of courting Lucy. Did it not once occur to anyone besides me that Harker might be an American as well, living in London due to his profession? I mean, I never once read in the book that clearly states Harker was born and bred in London! So I’m able to forgive Keanu for his lack of accent due to the fact Harker hasn’t been there long enough to pick it up!
Love it. This was a great movie which I saw in theaters. Gary Oldman is all the Dracula I need. Also the soundtrack is amazing. I bought it as soon as I saw the movie.
Finally a masterpiece I love this movie and it has an A list cast!! CAN YOU DO DRACULA 2000 NEXT AND DRACULA 2: ASCENSION PLEASE
What’s Dracula 2: Ascension?????
@susanstorm7910 it's the sequel to Dracula 2000. It's a trilogy but the they are not that good. They went straight to video and don't have the actor that played Dracula/judas. They are on HBO right now if you want to see them.
@@susanstorm7910 it's a movie about a priest who is a vampire that whips his back every morning for God to allow him to walk in the sun and control his vampire side he is accompanied by a man both going to kill dracula and rescue the guys girlfriend and kill dracula you should watch it
Dracula 2000 is one of my favorite takes on the legend
@@jordannewland5848 yes I love Gerard Butler was so good in it
I saw it in the theater. More than once. It was my favorite movie for a while. Lucy❤
So Dracula was a Chad F'boy that the girls can't stay away from. This was written in 1897.
Also Gary Oldman's acting (Chef's kiss)! Master class!
Thank you so much for this. I loved this movie when it came out and I still do. It's become popular to demean and criticize the movie now but I'm with you, the over-the-top drama in the scenes were meant to convey an almost operatic feeling and reflect the way that Victorians would have perceived both Stoker's book and any love story like this one. And you did a really great job at linking Dracula's different appearances to his changing emotions and motives through the storyline.
The film is great in technical terms, but the script is terrible.
There is nothing romantic between Mina and Dracula, this is not an immortal love story, but just the story of a stupid girl who falls in love with a murderous psychopath. In the scenes where Jonathan is in the Count's castle, we have the scene of Dracula giving a baby he kidnapped to his brides. He's just a killer. I would compare Mina and Dracula to Eva Braum and Hitler. Having a pretty girlfriend didn't make Hitler a tragic hero. He's just a killer with a beautiful young girlfriend, the same goes for Dracula. No matter Dracula's justification, he's just a monster who even killed children.
A murderous psychopath like Hitler has no reset and goes not to heaven, but to hell. Only in the bad writing of a cheap film that could think that a murderous psychopath who killed even children could have salvation instead of going to hell.
People may call it a Victorian moralistic book: but it was this model of marriage that the writer and his wife lived. Not all couples fit into cinema's perverted standards.
.
I remember watching this in a movie theater when it first came out when I was a mere teenager but being mesmerized by everything on the screen. The cinematography, the costumes, the music, the makeup. This movie holds a special place for me because of how impressed I was at that special time in my life.
I use to read the book because nothing on TV was really Dracula. But when this movie came out...I finally stopped reading the book on Halloween. Now I watch this every year and read "The Historian" instead.
This was an Incredible Video for My Second Favorite Version of Dracula and Gary Oldman did a Legendary Performance making This Version of Dracula The Most Scariest and Tragic Version of Dracula. He definitely deserved The Award for Best Actor for this Phenomenal Performance. Hey Vampire Folklore could you please do a Video for The History and Powers of The Original Tribrid since you already made a video for The Original Vampires?
This is easily the best Dracula movie. Also one of Gary Oldmans best performances.
Coppola’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula movie is my favorite movie ever
Susan Storm7910:Mine too!!!
In the Novel, it was hinted (Though in the non-obvious and not in exact context sort of way) that Dracula had taken the form of a ghost-like wolf upon Johnathan Harker's journey mid-way through the countryside of Transylvania on his way to the castle.
I've read that part that was cut from Dracula in Dracula's Guest and interestingly yes that wolf that keeps track of Harker I do believe is Dracula to make sure his agent gets to the castle to finish the work of buying property in London.
No the vampire can turn into a wolf it turns into a "large dog" and gets lose in Hampstead a suburb near Whitby where the boat "Demeter" carrying Dracula drifts in on a stormy night.
@@Person0fColor; I never said Dracula doesn't turn into a Wolf, you are commenting to the wrong person.😕
I never knew that's why his appearance changed so much dean great video this is one of my all time favorite Dracula movies 🎥 besides Dracula untold
Dracula is the MOST CLASSIC Beauty & the Beast or Woman loves beast, Beast still has his human heart
The most glorious love story of all time! This is one of, if not my very favorite movie!
FYI - Dracula’s love of Elizabeta/ Mina is not in the books. It was a creation for the movie to give the story drive. It’s hard to grasp the notion that Dracula (in the books) wanted to go to England because of the more abundant food options in one movie.
Its because you dont understand the subcontext of the vampire character. The ship that Dracula uses to ferry himself to England and lands at Whitby is called the "Demeter" after the Greek Goddess of agricultural and the harvest and her daughter Persephone is Goddess of rejuvenation and life cycles and fertility, the vampire is also a commentary on sterility the vampire literally cant reproduce only turn people. The Ship is promising life and rejuvenation and ideas connected to agricultural and harvest so life cycles and renewal, but really whats inside is a vampire maybe a disease which the vampire could be a commentary on STDs. Something promising life but really brings death. Social Revolution.
Dracula is genius
"The most common shape changes for a vampire are wolf, bat, & mist. Even Bram Stoker's Dracula was able to assume those 3 forms" (partial quote via relevance). (Another quote):"It's not just bats - vampires can also change into rats, owls, moths, foxes and wolves." (Another quote): "his (Dracula) featured forms in the novel being that of a bat, a wolf, a large dog, and a fog or mist. When the moonlight is shining, he can travel as elemental dust within it's rays." These are the 1st 3 entries in my search. Dracula can shape change into more than a few forms including wolves. (I'm pretty sure these are quotes from the novel rather than the movie). I personally remembered Dracula having shape changed into wolf form long ago though I couldn't name a source. fyi.
damn, no where have I seen someone make such a definitive statement on something they dont know anything about. The vampire takes the form of a bat and haunts Lucy and turns into the dog at Hampstead that gets lose from the "demeter", the ship that crashes at Whitby that brings in Dracula to England.
@@Person0fColor What are you talking about? Did you even read my comment? I listed those things and more.
@@jimspetdragons3737 you googled shit "good job" dood. I actually just read that chapter just a few hours ago.
@@Person0fColor I knew most of these, but I wasn't sure of the source. 1 chapter doesn't make the whole book. I haven't read the book in a few decades, so I fact-checked for a more complete answer. These quotes are what I found.
Top 3 of my favourite vampire movies, love the content keep it up ✌️
This is one of my favorite movies, saw it when it came out and I try to watch it every year!
Watching this video made me realize that perhaps the reason dracula turned lucy was so that minas best friend/practically sister could be with her when dracula turns mina?
Dracula feed a woman's baby to his wives and then commanded wolves to eat the mother right in front of him. WTF you talking about?
Dracula cared nothing for Lucy Westenra. She was just something for him to do in the meantime while he wooed his beloved Mina. Mina looked like his tragically dead wife Elisabeta and when he saw her on the street he was like 'Oh my! That's my dream!' He readilly condemned Lucy to living death without consultation when he was done with her. He gave Mina the choice twice and even then he told her 'he had crossed oceans of time to find her, and that 'he loved her too much to condemn her.' It was she who chose to be with HIM. When was the last time you saw a Vamp movie where the love interest made the monster cry blood??? She broke his heart when she ran off to marry Jonathan leaving Vlad to think he had lost her yet again. No. Lucy was just sex and a snack for him because he saw that she was easily corruptable while Mina's purity he did not want to corrupt. Dracula was in love with HER.
Favorite movie of the millennium....
Well done! Excellent video regarding one of the best movies I have ever seen
The other thing is that Van Helsing burned her with sacred communion which he done used to make the protective circle. It was not a silver coin.
I always thought that when John passes out after watching the baby, it was cause of Dracula using his mental powers. If Mina really was his wife reincarnated, why would there b of him and her together in heaven? It would have to b that Mina died and joined him, for imo, reincarnation is the same exact soul that has returned to Earth to live a new life. Let's not also forget that one of the bride's actresses joined Keanu again for the 2nd and 3rd Matrix.
Reincarnation makes enough sense
I really loved this movie I love Dracula in it
Magnificent cast, screenwriter and director. Magic.
Thank you this is my fav vampire movies :)
One of my favorite movies ❤
Great review 👏
I love that Francis Coppolla chose to do this as a love story instead of the usual blood sucking narcissistic vamp horror flick. Gary Oldman really wooed and courted Mina and made it so romantic that one could forgive him his usual blood sucking vocation and for ravaging poor Lucy to death. He was just a lonely vamp carrying 469 years of grief until he saw Mina's picture. It gave him a renewed purpose. He had to go get his girl back! He told his mistresses that he HAD loved and that he WILL love again. He was sure of it because he saw Mina's picture.
The other thing is the sun doesn’t kill Dracula in the movie they plan to cut off his head. He spotted in daylight several times in back to us, said that he can appear in daylight by Van Helsing earlier in the film.
Wynonna Ryder's English accent wasn't that great either. Gary Oldman was brilliant as Dracula, perfect choice. I enjoyed this movie better than I did, Elizabeth Bathory, Interview with a Vampire. I never thought of Vlad as a bad guy, his beloved wife was lied to, and she ended her life, the church pretty much turned its back on him by refusing to give her a proper burial because she committed suicide, he was a very sad lonely man grieving the loss of the woman he adored, I guess you could say when he saw Mina's picture, he thought she had been reincarnated because they looked identical to each other.
This is a beautiful movie. I’m so in love with Gary as Vlad
Was that also Anthony Hopkins as the priest who condemned Mina for killing herself in the beginning?
Yes 👍🏻
From what I recall, when Van Helsing and Lucy’s suitors encounter Dracula, he is in his full giant bat/demon form and says “look at what your God has done to me!”. Then ABV says something about “your cursed the church. You cursed God. You killed hundreds of innocent souls and impaled them”.
He says it very quick so it’s understandable as to why it would happen but it didn’t seem that Dracula was some devout Christian obsessed with saving the religion. He was obsessed with Elisabetha and was much more motivated in seeing her again than he was being a crusader. That’s part of why it was so easy for him after the priest told him Elisabetha was condemned to hell after self deletion to go ballistic. Also these priests need some lessons in simple courtesy. The man just came back from war after several long days or week or months. Maybe wait a little bit before lettinf
Love it.
For someone that read the original novel a dozen time.
There's is continuing of this story minus vlad on the Extraordinary Gentlemen.
Might be too soon but I'd love for you to do a video on The Last Voyage of the Demeter also based on Bram Stoker's Dracula please x
Yes, I was looking for someone to request this cause I was about to ask too!
Great film. Even better book! All the comic versions are great as well. I'm reading the Tomb of Dracula and Dracula Lives comics at the moment. They seem closely tied to Bram Stoker as the basis for the lore. It's superb.
ty :)
You are awesome..I know it's not a Vampire movie, but I would sooo love for you doing a take on:The Cell 🙏🤗
Good vid
That blood ritual in the beginning is so sinister, but fascinating to me.
I love Keanu, but he’s performance was paaaaaainful!
Winona Ryder is Frigging BEAUTIFUL, in the movie! Damn.
I want a good Dracula movie that follows Dracula and he doesn’t die like Dracula untold
At just about 15:30 you mention that Dracula "has never been known" to turn into a wolf and you speculate that this was invented for a shock in this particular film, but Bram Stoker was very clear in the novel that a wolf is one of Dracula's forms. When he emerges from the wreckage of the Demeter, witnesses describe seeing a "large dog" coming from the ship, for example.
Yes your right, but not a werewolf like he appeared when he met Lucy.. he was in wolf form in the movie several times
The funny thing is in the novel Dracula is described as having hair in the palms of his hands which for monster lore fans is also a mark of the werewolf. As people who look and analyze the book have to point out Stoker never visited Romania so much of what was put in Dracula came from books he read including the more supernatural elements which I feel Stoker gave this pieces to Dracula's physical makeup to truly add to the reader this is an otherworldly being very quickly.
He never turned into a wolf but he did command them. This guy has never read the book and has no real Idea whats going on.
That part of this movie (from what I am hearing in the video) that was not specific in the novel about Johnathan has been, being drained by the three vampire brides through Johnathan's escape from Dracula's castle, now makes sense to how Johnathan died before the events of the "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" movie took place, because he was already drained of almost a gallon of his blood by the Vampire Brides to the point that his body now lacks the amount of his immune system to allow Harker to be given any possibility to live long enough to be Mina's Husband, let alone, to start a family with her. What was never made clear was; how did Mina break away from Dracula's influence, even after her transitioning into vampirism? The Novel does not explain it and the movies never went into it either.
So in the book it's not really a control that Dracula has over Mina so much as a psychic link from the vampirism. Witj character Lucy who in almost no film version is said to be a sleep walker and that's why she went out the night of Dracula's arrival as she was in a natural stupor that Dracula was able to take advantage of which is also why Lucy seemed different from Dracula and his Brides as they seem to have a stronger level of intelligence which even Van Helsing points to as a possible cause. The other possibility is Mina seemed to be more intelligent than Lucy as a whole as she seemed to have a greater degree of understanding to what was going on around the characters so maybe that's also why she was able to break away.
@@donovanbradford8231; Mina is my favorite character in any version of Dracula where she is/might be involved.
Dracula died and his influence disappeared.
Mina and Jonathan are based on the relationship between the writer and his wife who had a long monogenic relationship.
Not all couples fit the depraved stereotype of current writers and filmmakers.
Amazing Movie!!!!!!!!… 👍🏻👍🏻
Could you do a video on Amel from the Vampire Chronicles 🧛♂️
Fenomenal la mejor película de Drácula.muy bonita triste.
You didnt like keanau reeves english?"he knows where da bastard sleeps!Wild stallion!"he also knows kung fu!"Wild stallion style!"
These baaaeaysts, in some sort of infaaaarno😂😂😂
The only thing I don't like is they make Dracula sympathetic, in the novel he is cordial and actually kind to Johnathan. Personal headcanon here, Dracula fully intended to let him go at the end of the month. He states he just wants to prefect his English, which while perfect in use, sounds odd with no accent and odd using of words, coming out of Draculas mouth. It wasn't until Johnathan stumbles on the brides, almost immediately Dracula stops being cordial and warm. That's is when I believe Dracula decided to leave Johnathan there. That is when his true nature comes out, he is pure evil. His thing with Mina when she is drinking from his beast is more akin to rape the way it is described in the novel. So I just wish they would have kept him evil. Plain and simple.
Wrong.
If you understand the subtext of the character then you understand what the vampire really is. Dracula uses the "Demeter" to ferry himself to Whitby. Demeter is the Greek Goddess of agriculture and the harvest and linked to fertility her daughter Persephone is the Goddess of fertility, rejuvenation and renewal. Zeus made a deal with Hades for Persephone so she ended up staying in the underworld for 6 months out of the year and hats how we get winter/simmer. The boat is promising life and rejuvenation but what it is really getting is a vampire the disease subtext is a direct juxtaposition to the "Demeter". Where the ship stand for life and renewal the vampire stand for death and decay.
Dracula is also an inversion of Christ, literal anti-christ where Jesus gave his blood the vampire takes blood. Also the fertility sterility thing is a huge part of the text too the vampire cant reproduce only change people.
@@Person0fColorI'm not sure if it's in the book (I've never read it) but it's in the movie, and is common in many vampire stories that Dracula and other vampires drink blood from victims, but they also give their own blood to someone to make them a vampire. It's similar to the story of Jesus saying to drink his blood so that one may attain eternal life.
Keanu was and still is a stiff actor, but I still like his work. His dedication to action is admirable to say the least
I had a hard time watchinh this with slide show format... took me out and had to stop.
Unrelated to this video, but did you used to have a channel about Harry Potter? Your voice sounds familiar to the narrator on those videos.
Why did Vlad wanted to buy properties in London before he knew about Mina?
He approached Lucy as a man bat
My dude, it wasn't a silver coin Van Helsing used on Mina's forehead. It was a concentrated host (the Eucharist). Also, Mr. Morris didn't use a sword, it's called Bowie knife.
In the scene where Van Helsing burns Mina's forehead, he used a blessed communion wafer to do it, not a silver coin.
right but hardly the thing to point out for "hey its not like the book" like thats the least of it
Nothing will ever justify the character butchery of Lucy in this film.
I agree! Poor girl 😂
No, I am not implying the Continuity between these vampire films and the Dracula novel as cannon; because I know they are not; I am merely implying the non-linear elements of the book and films that were either mentioned or not fully explained or what is being explained or has not been explained at all in other film versions are just the things that coincidentally happens to coincide with each other in a way that makes them seem connected.
So Mina ended up becoming a vampire? After she ended Vlad what happened to her?
She went back to normal.
There is so much to enjoy in this movie: one of the best (and most underrated) scores in movie history, the practical effects and the set design give it a dreamlike aesthetic, great make-up, a stellar cast. Still - every time I watch it I wished that they stuck closer to the source material. The movie title "BRAM STOKER'S Dracula" is actually a sham. With the addition of the prologue and the love story this adaptation digresses from the source material as much as any other Dracula movie. They should have dropped the romance and accentuated the horror aspect. Instead there are so many omission from the novel (the mother of the baby that is killed by wolves, the death of Lucy's mother, they shortened the voyage of the ship Demeter to a minimum). If they had included them instead of the love story this could have been one of the best Gothic horror movies of all time. So we still have to wait for the definitive Dracula film.
That was the body of christ aka holy communion not a silver coin.
Like so many things in life, there is a large grey area, not all things are purely black and white.
Dracula leaps off the Demeter as a wolf
I wouldn’t say it’s like to like as there were many changes to the film from the book
The movie is like 90% the same as the book.
What is interesting is the first one Nosfefatu the Vampire. It was a silent film, made in 1922. Out of style for these days.
Could you do the Anime Hellsing Ultimate because this does touch on this movie vaguely
This is only movie where I had a parent where I can go see
U should look into heirs of the night
Wait wait, Dracula IS known to have transformed into a wolf and other animals in the original book if I’m not mistaken 😂
Hey have you heard of Cogan Lollins? He's a youtuber whose channel covers similar topics to yours. Maybe you could do a collab with him at some point in the future.
Love his channel, would love to do a collab..
Best version of all time for me.watched it more than 50 times.get off my man Keanu
There are quite a few things that this review gets wrong. The movie makes so many unnecessary deviations from the novel that do not enhance the story in any way whatsoever.
Actually, in the novel could appear as a wolf in fact, he appears as a wolf more often than he does as a bat
no he commands wolves he appears to onlookers as a "large dog" that roams around Hampstead near Whitby when the "Demeter" crashes
@@Person0fColor well he also appears as a wolf in Dracula’s guest and according to Dr Kaja Franck, who got her degree on studying every aspect of the novel, he is a werewolf as well ua-cam.com/video/JRPpIhaQJ18/v-deo.htmlsi=cOK8ZTqOIRKjZwt6
@@redbatsamuraiproductions so you didnt read the book?
There is a part where Van Helsing does mention he turns into a bat, wolf, dog, can form into a mist and even the beams of moon light in between shadows, he does appear multiple times as a bat and is the "large dog" though I dont know if the "large dog" from the "Demeter" is a wolf or large dog he definitely can command wolves, though I dont know if he in the book turns into a wolf I dont think he does Im almost certain of it. Again Im talking about Bram Stoker's novel he can also command rats.
Im not impressed with your ability to copy and paste some else's ideas. Im not even 100% sure you read the book but you post on here like youre an authoritative voice
@@redbatsamuraiproductions ah it was when he mesmerized Lucy a turned her into the "bloofer lady" forgot about that part. You win
I actually read the book about nine times but it’s all good. I’m always happy to interact with another fan of the source material because honestly so many people think of the movies I’m just happy to interact with another person who loves the book in any way shape or form.
i think keanu & winona are great actors, but the casting was really bad, esp. the atrocious accents from both. thankfully gary oldman is just amazing & w/ anthony hopkins pulled the movie out of an abyss. still, what if those two roles had been cast differently?
What do you think of A Vampire in Brooklyn?
not bad..i like the power in the ring, thats pretty cool
@@VampireFolkloreVideos it's on of my fav movies lol
Monica Bellucci, who plays one of Dracula's wives, was also in The Matrix part two with Keanu Reeves. She is the Frenchmans wife, and kisses Neo.
why does dracula look like kevin nealon's character from little nicky
That's what I was thinking...
Great movie and the closest we'll get to a faith adaptation of Dracula while not perfect as the sub plot of a love triangle between Mina, Johnathan, and Dracula is added to the film, where in the book the love triangle...or square is between Lucy, Arthur, Quincy, and Dr. Steward who all want to mary Lucy but she settles on Arthur. Otherwise the film doesn't change too much with the exception of Renfield who in the novel it's never explained why he's gone insane or has a tie to Dracula vs the film shows Renfield as the original realtor who buys the first pieces of property for Dracula. Otherwise this is a great film with an all star cast whose weakest member is Keanu Reeves as he was still young in Hollywood at the time and didn't have the acting chops to keep up with the rest of the cast, so if Johnathan seems off and you aren't sure what he's doing yes it is a bad preformance from an otherwise great actor. All in all one of the best Dracula movies out there as even when you see weak parts it doesn't drag the movie down an impossible feet to pull off nowadays.
Robert Eggers with his new adaptation of Nosferatu should make a better vampire story than this film.
Dracula is just a spiky killer like Hiter and I'm just an English Eva Braun.
Dracula even kidnapped a child and offered it to his brides. How can this honorable figure be made into a tragic hero? It would be more realistic if he was approached as a killer who has a beautiful girlfriend. But being a psychopath like Hitler.
"closet we'll get to a faith adaptation? have you read the book?
Also, when do you think will see underworld 6
not too sure..i mean i'd love for it to happen and KB said she's open for a return
i hope so@@VampireFolkloreVideos
Dracula seducing Mina with a wolf is the reason why this Dracula is the scariest one
Dracula's "Brides" are almost as much his slaves as that lunatic servant of his because he seems to half-starve those 3 of blood.
Do you think if Michael? Corvin was healthy and in good shape, he could’ve able to take down Marius OK rip his heart break his soul for trying to hurt Selene and eve
The "Aged" appearance of the Gary Oldman Dracula is the least realistic take on the character and completely veers off from how The Vampire's illustrated "Aged" appearance was supposed to look like in the novel; in that film version of Dracula, this version of the character would've made the real Dracula angry for such mockery, that wig is the most ridiculous part of Oldman's costume. Count Blackula's Hairstyle is a lot closer to the hairstyle that the Dracula novel's aged form of the vampire had than any of the more direct versions of Dracula. Dracula from the Hugh Jackman version of "Van Helsing" is a little closer to the appearance of the real Dracula as if he were an 1800's modern vampire minus the mustache and hat.
Very untrue that it’s exactly like the original novel
Somebody didn’t read the novel.

Can you profile Blacula
This is just a recap, not an explanation.
I explain the importance of the scenes, more than once
