The best Dracula movie of all time.
nah. The new Nosferatu is better
@@user-ju6zx3rm8dno
Not better, just different.
No WAY! I didn’t care about any of the characters in Nosferatu. The love story in this telling is all time.
I blame the Ottoman Empire for starting all this shit.
Dracula is purely Stokers creation making him Irish. Vlad the Impaler was merely a historical scapegoat for origin.
@
I meant in the movie… Ottomans sent the fake letter of Draculas death to his wife
@@steelgoodwindamn you got all wounded knee about the comment.
I blame God, and his "if you commit suicide I send you straight to Hell" policy.
Great film. Oldman has to be the next Bond villain.
Up against Pierce Brosnan.
“When the time comes will you do the same to me?” While pointing a gun at him 🤡🤣
The way how the knife goes through Dracula and into the stone looks bad ass even in 2025
It's fine as an ending for a Dracula film, but please don't call it "Bram Stoker's" because this is the exact opposite of what Mina feels for Dracula in the book.
True love kills !
Best version of Dracula story ever.
Wait for Robert Edgar's Nosferatu, this film might have some competition then
Too fanatical and over the top for me. The story was nice but the way it was portrayed was irritating.. to me.
I think Robert Eggers Nosferatu in spite of what it excludes or stumbles creatively, does a better job of certain elements from the novel (rats, 3 nights threat, his powerful ability to manipulate victims). But the biggest praise, is how Eggers reshaped the love story between Ellen/Mina and Orlok/Dracula as more sadistic and controlling than here, where it is more of tragic destiny as well as a conventional love story in this adaptation. This is made even better with the inspired casting in Nicholas Hoult as Thomas/Harker. That and the gothic art direction in it is truly masterful.
@@zacharyperkins9288 I saw it, no competition there at all.
@@roysmith770 so you didn't like it or you did
Van Helsing's Excellent Adventure
take Drac to the iron maiden
"MeeeeNAH!"
Fun fact. Van Helsing is using a kukri knife, originaly from Nepal. They were quite common in colonial Britain.
I noticed too, I own one, very effective but its more like a machete than a knife
This ending still hits hard even to this day
Quincey did work. It seems that he took Lucy's death the hardest and he was not a fan of what Dracula did to her.
7:30 Continuity error? Keanu's hair returns to black after being nearly white. Is this intentional?
I've wondered that. I felt maybe all curses were lifted with the death of Dracula.
'We've all become God's Mad men. All of us.' Those words are prophetic and apply very much to men today. Powerful words.
this movie needs an update.... despite such a iconic performance from oldman, there are so many awkward scene transitions
you may wanna check the cinema right now
Fun-fact: Jonathan Harker uses a forward-curved blade, similar to the Ottoman yatagan sword, to cut Dracula’s throat. Vlad the Impaler, the historical figure who inspired Dracula, was decapitated by soldiers of Sultan Mehmed II after impaling thousands of people.
Always found it weird that at the end everyone just kinda has a heel turn and decides that Dracula is the misunderstood hero?
Same he’s been pure chaos for decades and they went for “let the bro chill he’s just a lil confused”
what a little scamp he was. we'll miss him tearing people to shreds, terrorizing villages, and destroying entire family lineages
yeah that is cringe tbh
2:36 Kinda looks like Biden
Deep down, he was still a soldier of Christ, hence his constant bragging to anyone that he defended the Cross. However much God hurt him, or he hurt God, he was never truly an apostate in his heart. His evil was caused by hurt, not malice. I find the moment Dracula repents and feels God's forgiveness more touching than his having to say goodbye to Mina. Dracula was a real guy in this movie, not some cardboard monster.
too much copium
@@360.Tapestry too much deflection due to personal bias on the clear statement made by this ending. All Dracula did through-out the movie is stand on having defended Christ to anyone willing to hear it lol his undead life was nothing more than the story of Job. He had a massive tantrum and a spiritual breakdown and aligned himself as satans adopted son until he admitted defeat and went prodigal son instead. The theological elements in this 'adaptation' (which it really isn't), is one where God actually extends the reincarnated Elizabetha as an olive branch to Dracula, knowing his love for her will be his ultimate undoing, which it was.
@ i'd watch the movie again to double check, but i can't stand the editing
@@360.Tapestry I have a weird nostalgic affinity for this movie. Oldman carries the whole thing. Winona was never hotter though (yes it matters because it's one point in favor of the movie lol) and she does miles better than most, even carrying Keanu through every scene they have. His acting in this is atrocious. Embarrassingly bad when he's acting alongside Oldman who was drunk throughout filming and still buried the entire cast. Winona threw all her boys in the cast, not caring if they were ready for an English period piece. Keanu and Elwes were definitely not, but Richard E Grant is Brit as crumpets and sucked hard in this as Seward. It's all forgivable until Anthony Hopkins appears as the hammiest, crappiest, least heroic and intimidating vampire slayer in horror history bar none. If I had my way, I would have re-cast Keanu with Hugh Grant and Hopkins with Alan Rickman. I would have cast Elizabeth Hurley as Lucy too, though I would have kept the hair color lol. Waits was also good in this, probably the best Renfield in modern memory. Sorry for the novel sized reply. Haven't checked on this movie in ages.
@ oldman's performance is monumental and most of the practical effects hold up exceptionally well, but there's too much unevenness to the direction, editing, and supporting cast performances for me to just let go and enjoy this movie unreservedly. in fact, i might be able to enjoy this movie more as cheesy fun if there wasn't such a great central performance since the mediocrity and wasted potential wouldn't be so stark by contrast
It was a story of redemption in the end. Coming back to God’s Light.
it'd be great if that was explored more and not just tacked on like an afterthought. i'm not gonna give credit to the movie for making the audience do the heavy lifting
I would happily die for love, but not for evil.
Depends on how you perceive it.
Dracula deserved to die for the innocents he killed, no doubt. But that notwithstanding, I see a man whose revenge against God was justified, but has chosen here to accept defeat in a moment of sentiment and weakness. Nothing wrong with love. But I wouldn't die for love if it means the real monster isn't held accountable.
What's really interesting here is that God to some extent must either felt guilty or was just sympathetic to the situation in general at this point. Throughout this movie there really aren't hints that Dracula would be forgiven/redeemed really and what it eventually took was seeing his wife to get him to let go of anger and hate. God undoubted played a part in the reincarnation of Elizabetha to allow this to happen, it surely wasn't a coincidence. Had it not been for this event, he would been terrorizing people for as long as he could have. But it's these events and this scene that make the whole thing so powerful. That even the All Mighty intervened because he knew that the way these events unfolded were not as they should be, and he gave Dracula the closure he needed.
I don't think God felt guilty, but did pity Dracula greatly and wanted him to return to Him. In this incarnation, the divine and Dracula have a deep and unbreakable bond, even if at war. Dracula was ironically a proud Christian through-out the film, even if most of it was based in how awesome he himself was in defending the name of Jesus. A diabolical monster, but also one to pull a sword on you for questioning the greatness of his devotion to God.
for such a rather self-indulgent period film, that is a really rushed redemption arc hahahahahahaha
Stop exposing your low IQ. We get it already.
That Yankee saved the day...
If i'd win the lottery, first thing I would do is hire Gary Oldman, get him dressed in this character and have him say: "it is finished" repeatedly!
pinche teto
So the man did decades worth of pure evil and god forgave him without repenting?
Eh, considering Dracula became a vampire in the first place because he was reminded that his wife was going to Hell for killing herself - because while *he* was fighting in God's name, she was tricked into thinking he had died - I'd say that highlights God's own evil and hypocrisy.
Between that and his egoism, I wouldn't want God's forgiveness even if I believed for a moment that it wasn't some trick.
What right does God have to offer forgiveness, when he should be the one begging everyone for it?
This is pure invention for the film, to accommodate for the love story approach Coppola chose to shape his adaptation around, with very mixed results. The ideas and beats are very solid but it is ultimately let down by the weak performances of Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder, as well as the chemistry just not there between her and Gary Oldman. That's where this adaptation is frustrating overall. It gets a ton right in adapting the book, but also doesn't quite nail the critical elements needed to make it work.
Centuries of evil!
@@mitchellhayward6492 cringe... i mean deeeeep
@theprowler18 A fair criticism. It's no secret that Coppola wanted to adapt the fictional character of Dracula with the historical Vlad the Impaler, that he used his wife's suicide as the foundation for turning Dracula into a tragic character with a tragic love story, and that the original author of Dracula - Bram Stoker - apparently didn't know anything about Vlad the Impaler and simply used the name "Dracula" because it's synonymous with "devil" in Romanian. I fully agree, Keanu's acting in particular certainly left much to be desired, and the lack of chemistry between Ryder and Oldman was a hindrance.
My point is to shed light on the way the film points out the blatant hypocrisy of God and faith (as if scripture and history hasn't made that readily apparent) in the opening scene as the understandable source of Dracula's anger and motivation to renounce God, and choose to curse himself in a fit of rage. People do terrible and reckless things when they are angry.
The mere fact that the act of suicide in the Christian faith has always been this unforgivable one-way ticket to Hell is something else.
You know, I think Dracula Sovereign of The Damned has done the romance and sympathy better
Wait..why did Keanu lose the gray from his hair? :D
Winona Ryder was fckin beautiful then
Why dont i remember any of this
because the movie doesn't flow well. i haven't seen megalopolis yet, but if the editing here is any indication, i can see why people think of it as a jumbled mess
Dumb take is dumb.
Never bought what Stoker was trying to sell me. Dracula has always been a representation of lust at his core. Love was always the polar opposite of him, something he could never understand.
Can someone explain the ending did Dracula go to heaven in the end if so how is that possible all the bad he's done
Keanu should John wick dracula
This is very different from the book.
How does it end in the book ?
Sort of. They maintain the beats of the story, but have massively rearranged it, to accommodate for the love story between Mina & Dracula (purely shaped and invented for the films, starting all the way back to the Universal but first started in the 1970's adaptations) and have her deal the final blows that kill Dracula in Coppola's take. It ends on a happier note ironically enough in the books, with Morris staking Dracula at the cost of his life and Harker chopping his head off, freeing Mina of the cursed blood and ending Dracula's reign of terror.
Yankees vs draco LOL
Not one of Anthony Hopkins' better performances,
I guess I'm going to hell just because I enjoy this movie.
Source?
One day Mina will fight Dorian Gray
League reference, nicely done
@@zacharyperkins9288 I am getting old :/
@@CrniWuk same here
Harker: Let them go!
She’s for the streets now…..
That's the hip hop version.
true. She did cuck Harker after all
Beetlejuice?
I dont understand what happened here. Looks like some evil scarey monster, people were chasing it down, but then just let it go? Never watched this movie before.
It’s good her turned evil because she committed suicide while he was fighting. The church excommunicated her so he got pissed and forsake the church. They took this from the real Vlad Dracul I’m weird but I love his story to.
Same, gotta watch the whole movie now
Vampires everywhere -

8:00 More stupid writers, directors, whatever. So she has magical skin on her face that prevents a bloody mess on another body from getting on it
seeing the really awkward way these scenes flow together like a jumbled mess, i can why megalopolis bombed haha
Not sure what you're on about. This was a great movie.
I call to you, O LORD, from the depths. My Lord, hear my voice! Let your ears listen to my pleas for mercy. Would you, O LORD, pay attention to the sins, my Lord, who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness, so that people may serve you with reverence. I hope in the LORD, my soul hopes, I wait for his word. My soul waits for my Lord more than a watchman for the morning, yes, more than a watchman for the morning Amen ✝️
Amen without Him I’m nothing,I have a relationship with my Father. He has protected,provide and loved me unconditionally… I will serve My Father and My Savior for all eternity. Amen
Who's the worse evil, the devil who causes all of the evils in the world, or the all-knowing and all-powerful God who can put an end to evil but doesn't?
A great version but why oh why Winona and Keanu …. Was Coppola on mescaline….. those California accents ffs and terrible acting
Dear god, Keanu is a horrible, horrible actor. He is a wonderful human being, I know, but he absolutely sucks in this movie. It's obvious compared to the rest of the cast.
Yup. But thankfully he matured into a wonderful actor. He was just too outclassed by the genius of Oldman and Hopkins in this classic
Everyone is in agreement, he was horribly miscast here as Harker and I would say the chemistry was bit forced/lacking between Ryder and Oldman. The story heavily hinges on their being a genuine love between the characters and because it falls flat, it fails to make a memorable impact for it. That's my takeaway opinion on the film, upon reflection.
He's more of a character than an actor 🤔
he got better mind you he was still pretty young here he came off of Bill and Ted to a more serious role like this
@@davidkyle2073no, pretty much the same.
Strange… did he repent and ask Christ for forgiveness in the end? I hope so.
Dracula is Satan, so no and even if he did, salvation is not available to him, he is damned for all eternity.
REGE SATANAS!
@@leehighland5435Dracula is not satan
@@deankruse2891but he worships satan
Yes. Dracula found redemption and came back to God.
Of course they had to girl boss the ending, even back then.
Yeah, this was the biggest misstep of Coppola's adaptation. The love story between Mina and Dracula.
yup, it is cringe fr
The new Nosferatu is better
Nope, just different.
Is he Christ, he has forsaken me , it is finished is from scripture, the occult is hidden in Hollywood, ahh but its only a movie watched by sheep!!
You sound mentally inadequate.
yeah, i caught that too. Very odd. Or, on the nose, one might say
Van Helsing was COLD in this movie 🔪 🥶 🩸
Should have just sent the “brides” to me
