Dracula's Backstory | Bram Stoker's Dracula | Creature Features

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.

    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 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.

    @@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.
