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.

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.

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.

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.

What a great movie, Gary Oldman is a living legend.

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.
Im surprise no one says "Still better love story than Twilight" for this 😂
The Art direction, the images edition and post production of this movie are amazing...making it timeless
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.

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.

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.

Sad..loved the movie
The best intro scene ever made
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.
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

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'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.

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.

@@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.
