I love it's inclusion, Schnapps isn't really huge in America but in Europe, especially central to east it's very very common and is often made just at people's houses. Even stuff Americans drink is considered schnapps, Jaeger and Fireball being two examples.
I cannot even say how many times I have had the lines "can he even remember how to buy bread? How to select cheese and wine?" go through my mind since seeing this movie. It is so haunting and possibly the best pop culture argument against immortality honestly, hahaha
Reminds me a bit of The Shawshank Redemption and how prison robs a man of the ability to be free and make his own decisions. This seems similar. Locked in a castle, away from what made you a person, it must be terrible.
This is my favorite part of the movie because it really explores how lonely the life of a vampire would be. You can’t go out during the day, you can’t ever get close to humans because you have to kill them and consume their blood for sustenance, and you live forever. All that adds up to isolation for possibly centuries at a time. No wonder Orlok is this half-mad creature, he’s been alone and apart from human society for so long at this point that he has no idea how to act around people.
Hell! I see guys like that at Dunkin' Donuts, on the Train platform at Finsbury Park, driving '85 El Dorados to Derby Lanes... They hang out at The Hub!
This film was brilliant as a horror film as well as a dark comedy. An actor playing a vampire playing an actor playing a vampire. It also seems a hilarious jab at method actors. The scene where he caught a bat mid-air, bit off its head and sucked out its blood was seen as method acting was hilarious 😂 . Im so glad the great German actor Udo Kier was in this; as he once portrayed Dracula, plus was in the Blade films.
This was one of my favorite scenes in the movie because it emphasizes what the lonely existence of being a vampire is. You watch your friends die off, you can’t experience human pleasures and you can’t experience dying unless if it’s painful. Willem Dafoe nailed this monologue.
This is why I love this movie. You get this feeling of dread thinking Orlok is just playing along to get a easy supply of blood bags but moments like this one shows hes simply lonely. He is obviously hungry but chooses to drain a bat instead of his two new drinking buddies. I mean think about it. When do you think was the last time he got to talk about books to anyone?
@@loganross1861 The movie is about a real vampire being hired to play a vampire, and everyone involved is convinced that he is a method actor by the director who hired him.
I loved that scene bitching about having a human guest cracked me up, something other vampire movies never address except Dracula Dead and Loving It very briefly with the spider web
just watched this a couple days ago. It was quite good and Willem's acting was amazing. His peculiar facial expressions and mannerisms were dialed in and on point!
Yeah, I'd forgotten. He's on fire in this scene. Probably the best in the film. Though watching him and Malkovich devour scenery together was also a treat.
That was the most poignant scene in this movie, Orlok was right. A Nobleman of his era would not be familiar with domestic chores, add to the centuries of not NEEDING to know, would he remember ANY of it? he'd remember the broad strokes of his life but the DETAILS would be lost to centuries of solitude and loneliness. Eventually all that would be left is someone like orlok. Alone unable to remember from moment to moment, the ONLY constant being his all consuming hunger. Dracula WOULD become a Monster, Orlok DID.
This scene and the one where Murnuo explains how he found Orlok was amazing. I could see a mental picture in my head from his description of how he came to find him
I love how this scene is shot, in that Counts body is blending in with the background so it looks as if the men are consumed and surrounded by his presence. And Dafoe's facial expressions here 3:00 are so mesmerizing, you almost stop paying attention to what they are saying.
I've heard he moved to a place called Bikini Bottom after leaving his ancestral home and became a night shift manager at a popular fast food restaurant. I'm so happy for him.
This is the best scene and II always wondered if Defoe improvised the Dialogue. It’s a great scene because in the book Dracula the narrative is a chronological order of many of the characters but we never see it from Dracula’s POV this shows us a vulnerable side to the Vampire’s psyche not of physical fear but more of the loneliness and what his way of existence has been transformed into
Udo Kier fits right in this film. He may be remembered for Blood for Dracula (1974) and Blade (1998) but check him out in Modern Vampires (1998). Trust me, it's a hoot!
I live alone with only a dog with dementia for company, people walk right past me in the streets because I am a middle aged man and nobody cares about old men. Loneliness is worse than the nuisance of having to deal with a few annoying people.

@@scotthamp384 You can't possibly think Mernau hired a real vampire to play Count Orlok. What an absurd notion. No no, this is just dedication to the craft!
@V-wl7jn ill agree the new Nosferatu film borders on kabuki theater. It's an absurd film completely dependent on CGI. It's on the same level as I Am Legend. Not even worth watching a second time
@@Bigfootnosferatu1776 Sorry, I accidentally deleted my comment. Needless to say, we are in agreement about that color graded corpse of a movie. PS: The weirdest thing to me is that there are at least four shots in the 2024 film that were taken directly from Coppola's Dracula, which again, was at least an actual movie with a pulse.
Two different films with different messages. The best Nosferatu film will always be the original silent film, but I can live with the rest because I'm not some film snob looking for the "definitive" vampire film.
@@Devilsblood The critique is in the method of execution concerning the material. If we are taking snobbery into the effect then the only definitive vampire films would be Vampyr, Valerie and The Hunger.
if the clip is boring the movie is boring. pass. even the actors are bored. Who wants to watch the characters sit around and have idol conversation about nothing?
"You know, I'm something of a Nosferatu myself"
Underrated comment
Comments like these are very respectfull towards willem dafoe and i appreciate it
I stopped being negative , i am now Yesferatu!
"the German theater needs you".
One of the funniest lines in the movie.
And the writers live!
Max Schreck (2000): “The schnapps they make in these parts.”
Prof. Albin Eberhart Von Franz (2024): “Schnapps?”
😮Shoot, never realized the reference.
I haven't seen this movie in years! I'm glad they made that subtle nod, even if I had forgotten it.
Both: "Why are you surprised? We are germans after all, and we ALWAYS need our schnapps!" 😁
I love it's inclusion, Schnapps isn't really huge in America but in Europe, especially central to east it's very very common and is often made just at people's houses. Even stuff Americans drink is considered schnapps, Jaeger and Fireball being two examples.

Agreed 👍
True.
Reminds me a bit of The Shawshank Redemption and how prison robs a man of the ability to be free and make his own decisions. This seems similar. Locked in a castle, away from what made you a person, it must be terrible.
This made me realize that in the new Nosferatu, Defoe's line about Schnapps was a little call-out to this movie.
Nooooo, don't spill itt!
I was wondering why someone in my theater was cracking up at that
A lot of stuff in the new film is a call back to a lot of older vampire movies
I laughed at this in the theater lol nobody understood why =*(

Yeah it's great. Staying away from all these morons that plague us certainly is one of the best parts of being a vampire.
I hardly think loneliness is any part of any aspect of vampires. Good gracious they kill human beings by drinking their blood!

And it’s clear he tried to end his life when he said to murnau “tell me how you could harm me when I don’t even know how to harm myself”

Udo Kier doesn't turn down roles lol I'll always see him as Yuri from Command & Conquer.
@stinkfinga4918 I want him to play Barack Obama
@@stinkfinga4918 Hasn't he also wound up in a vampire role several times? Like in BLADE or further back Blood for Dracula?

And until Dracula, basically portrayed as being reduced to a feral and IMPOVERISHED existence.

But he’s an actor getting off on being a weirdo…it’s not like he chose to spare them
@@loganross1861 Dude he's literally a vampire in the movie
@@loganross1861 The movie is about a real vampire being hired to play a vampire, and everyone involved is convinced that he is a method actor by the director who hired him.
I was always surprised he was capable of getting drunk.

I'm almost sure none of the people watching nosferatu ever saw this masterpiece.
In my experience it's pearls before swine. I've mentioned it to horror movie snobs and they don't get it.
The new Orlock’s accent was a bad imitation of Defoe’s
My favorite scene. 2 drunk Germans and a Vampire. 🧛♂️🖤
Sounds like the start of a joke!

Willam Defoe at his best
Absolutely never thought of it like that he is 100% right how the hell does he know what good bread looks like
I've heard he moved to a place called Bikini Bottom after leaving his ancestral home and became a night shift manager at a popular fast food restaurant. I'm so happy for him.
It would be awesome if someone remade this scene with SpongeBob and Squidward as the two guys.

Had no idea William dafoe played in a vampire movie back in the day
He’s at the top of the best 😊😊
Including this movie Dafoe has been in 5 vampire related movies.
"Schnapps?"
This really was a great movie.
God I want a Blu-ray of this
Udo Kier fits right in this film. He may be remembered for Blood for Dracula (1974) and Blade (1998) but check him out in Modern Vampires (1998). Trust me, it's a hoot!
Merhige making this thing after Begotten has got to be *the* most bizarre single fact in the history of film.
"When did you get cast as Max Schreck?"
"I don't remember!"
"How many hours did you spend in the makeup chair?"
"I don't _remember!"_
Wow dude I need to watch this again.
Shout out if you are here after seeing the new Nosferatu xD
Dan Jones' soundtrack for this film is fantastic.
I loved that movie.
"What an actor!"
Living forever apart from human society sounds wonderful to me. Just saying.
I live alone with only a dog with dementia for company, people walk right past me in the streets because I am a middle aged man and nobody cares about old men.
Loneliness is worse than the nuisance of having to deal with a few annoying people.
Nosferatu was good, but this movie was better.
2 different types
I love the implication that he's vampiricaly impotent
Opening scene… dude on the left was the head of the vampire counsel in blade 1 😂.. sickkk
Udo Kier! He also played Dracula in Andy Warhol's Dracula back in the 60s.
Одна из самых крутых сцен фильма.😁👍
Udo Kier ❤
He’s exquisite ❤️
One of my favorite actors.
Such a great scene
Pete Davidson looks great these days
Schnapps?
Aww…poor guy…
Count Orlock would be excellent at Literary Sins. (ding)
Willem Dafoe, oh senyor nostre
Why are there so many bird noises in the night?
Because they are bats

What’s an exciting conversation with a vampire?
What an extraordinarily moronic comment from someone who didn’t even watch the movie.
Possibly the kind of people who can spell "idle"?
