@@Matheusss89Orlok is supposedly the walking corpse of a Transylvanian nobleman obsessed with retaining life who dabbled in sorcery and is literally just a rotting animated corpse, much more realistic (if you ask me) and true to what a folk vampire is than the suave, handsome Dracula wooing women with his charm
Yeah, when they kept repeating that, it was so cringe. But this is more rooted in folk and gothic horror, so no matter how much they repeat: "he is coming," it will work simply much better due to the time period as well cus this movie takes place in the 19th century, while Halloween Kills took place in 2018.😂 But Kills was more of a fun popcorn flick. This looks like a much more serious horror film
I've pointed out on a couple of sites that the shadow hands over the city are a reference to another great F W Murnau film, Faust (1926) where it's actually Satan doing the same thing. I really like that Nosferatu is using other bits of Murnau to tell the story.
Bram Stoker's family wouldn't sell the film rights to Murnau, which is why the story was so altered in the original. As Dracula is now in the public domain, Eggers would be free to do so.
Yeah he indeed does. But don't overestimate this notion. Nosferatu 2024 will still be closer to the silent movie than Stoker's novel. The dedication to the novel is rather found in the world building and the smaller details.
The setting , tone, time period and environment of this movie is reminiscent to the early Universal Pictures horror classics by Boris Karloff (Frankenstein), Bela Lugosi (Dracula) and Lon Chaney Jr (The Wolfman)!.It has an old school and classic vibe!
I find it frustrating that most of these reaction/breakdown/analysis-videos mostly just resort to telling us what is clearly happening on screen rather than giving any insight as to what the scenes might mean and whatever influences the director might have taken. It gives the impression that most of these s.c. movie channels don't really know that much about the movies they are supposed to talk about (or movies in general). It's like Snoop Dogg commentating on the Olympics (but less entertaining). Here's what I found interesteing about the trailer. Hopefully someone else picked up other stuff and we can have an interesting discussion * The first shot from the trailer is probably from the end of the movie when Ellen has realized that in order to save her husband and the town she has to sacrifice herself to Nosferatu. It might be earlier in the movie when she is praying for her husband to come home from Transylvania or she might be under some spell. However, if you look at the 1922 or 1979 version the first explanation is the most plausible. The shot of her getting strangled (presumably by Nosferatu) and lying on a grave is probably from earlier in the movie. There are photos of Lily-Rose Depp where she seems to be acting out the sleepwalking scenes from the 1922 version of the film so that is most likely where that scene is from. That scene is also present in the Bram Stoker's novel when Lucy Westenra sleepwalks out into the garden to have an encounter with Dracula. * The shot of the shadow of the hand hovering over Wismar is taken straight from another F.W. Murnau movie - Faust. It's cool that Robert Eggers included that homage in this movie. * A lot of the costumes seems to be more or less exact replicas from the 1922 movie. A good example would be when Thomas Hutter is riding away from Wismar. That outfit seem to be a 1 to 1 copy of what Hutter was wearing in the original * It will be interesting to see what role Albin Ebenhart von Franz is having in this movie. In the original the van Helsing character is more or less absent and in the 1979 version he is a minor character that only really plays a part in the ending. While it is well know that Willem Dafoe often accepts minor roles in movies he finds interesting his presence in the trailer gives the impression that the role is expanded in this movie. There is also the photo of him laughing like a madman while torching what might be Nosferatu's grave so he definitely seems to be more pre-active in this version. * A lot of people seem to think that the shot of the naked man sitting on the floor surrounded by candles is Nosferatu. I don't think so. I think it is Herr Knock, the Renfield character of this movie. It makes more sense for a deranged lunatic to be doing that kind of stuff rather than a cold, menacing manifestation of evil and pestilence. * It will also be interesting to see what this version has in store for Thomas Hutter. The 1922 and 1979 versions have wildly different outcomes for that character so it will be interesting to see what Eggers does with him. The scene of him writhing on the table while some nuns are staring blankly at him is not from either version so Eggers might have come up with a third outcome. Or maybe he is going back to the Stoker novel, where a sick and delerious Harker manages to escape Dracula's castle and finds himself in a Romanian convent, being nursed back to health by the nuns. * The scene with Ellen Hutter in bed saying "He is coming" has her almost moaning in pleasure and if you look at the - very brief - scene where von Franz is saying "Tell me, child! Who is coming?" you can see that she is smiling and her eyes are not focused. Maybe Eggers has taken inspiration from Bram Stoker's book and included a version of the scene where van Helsing hypnotizes Mina Murray to find out the location of Dracula. That is not present in the 1922 or 1979 version. * The trailer also show Hutter and von Franz driving a stake through someone or something. In the other versions of this film there is no mention of the vampire hunters (van Helsing, Jonathan Harker, Lord Arthur Holmwood, Quincey Morris and and Dr. Seward) present in the Bram Stoker novel. Maybe they have been re-introduced in this version. * The scene with van Franz opening an old tome and saying "We are here encountering the vampyr, Nosferatu!" is not from either earlier vesrions. Instead it almost mirrors a scene in the 1992 movie "Bram Stoker's Dracula" when van Helsing (Anthony Hopkins) opens a similar looking tome and says something similar. Maybe it's an homage to that movie. Anyway. That is just what I have picked up. Hopefully someone else can offer more insight.
I think the movie will be visually stunning. But I think this will be it. The question “does evil come from within us or from beyond” implies to me that there will be no substance. Murnaus version centered around normal cruelty so to speak. Nosferatu is a natural predator of humans and we see flesh eating plants and in the beginning we are asked “why did you kill the flowers? Which added a decent amount of horror. Herzogs version was centered around a broken Nosferatu so to speak. A predator falling in love with its prey and able to take whatever he wants but not love. Considering the time it came out, post ww2 in which most European fatherless children were adults, it was -and still is a movie with a message. I don’t think Eggers can do that. Sry, he made great movies but he is no intellectual. Murnaus and Herzog are/were. There is no substance in that question were evil comes from. I hope I’m wrong but my expectation is that it will be not as good as The VVitch. Which I thought was good but no masterpiece
Yeah, this guy did no research at all, to boot. Nobody knows the origin of the word Nosferatu, but it's thought to be a mistranslation of something someone overheard meaning something like “the offensive one.” This lisp doesn't help, either.
The movie looks awesome. I'm a little disappointed with the release date - like why not release it in October. December is a terrible time to release this film. Moreover, if they release it during the autumn season then it can kinda compete against the other horror flicks coming out during that same period and really stand out against the mainstream big budget horror
According to everything I have ever read, the word “nosferatu” is completely made up - this word is not Romanian and, in fact does not appear in any known language.
You’re right! I am Romanian and can confirm. Someone suspected that ‘Nosferatu’ is actually a misheard version of ‘NECURATUL’ which is a popular way of reffering to the devil in Romanian (besides ‘diavolul’, ‘dracul’). The word itself literally translates to ‘the unclean one’ (as in unholy/evil). On the other hand, ‘vampire’ is simply… vampir. Hahahaha! Hope it makes sense 😅
Thanks for the possible Romanian derivative. Forgive my Romanian, but I suspect that “vampir” would refer to a vampire like Dracula or Count Orlock. I understand that folkloric terms in Romanian to be “mural” (forgive me if I misspelled that) or “strigoi mort” - this latter coming from the idea that witches or sorcerers became vampires at death.
@@briansunday7099 No problem! Indeed, ‘strigoi’ might be used when reffering to a vampire, but we rarely use it nowadays with this meaning, since ‘strigoi’ or ‘moroi’ is a spirit who rises from the grave at night and can take on many forms, including animals. In order for one to become ‘Strigoi mort’, the dead strigoi, they don’t necessarily have to be sorcerers/witches in life, just ‘unfinished business’.
Thanks for the clarification. I did research on vampires many years ago, so I suppose it’s not surprising to hear that terms like “strigoi mort” or “moroi” would have fallen from use or at least changed. As they would refer to something rising from the grave, that would indicate some sort of revenant, of which vampires are one sort. The animal metamorphosis is, of course, often associated with vampires as well. Of course, I understand that what defines a vampire can change depending on where it is you encounter it. In Russia, I understand that they have forked tongues and tend to drink blood by piercing the breast rather than the neck.
An inoffiziell artwork leaked showing Nicholas Hoult as Hutter and Skarsgard as Orlok. Orlok Looks like the Dracula from the novel but bald. He has a white beard thought and a few rat-like hair on his ears.
@@alessandrodigiuseppe7385Well I am a Fan of the OG movie and Herzog's version, so very interested in Eggers' take on it. Through internet research I saw an artwork on Reddit and read an old, leaked draft of Eggers' Script. And from the published screenshots and the trailer all of them add up so far. There could be still some changes made later by Eggers but so far I can attribute everything from the trailer to a part of the script. The last time this happened to me was with Halloween Kills. Which also was very close to the script I read, outside the ending (which later was put into the extended cut of Halloween Kills).
@@alessandrodigiuseppe7385 Yes. Could you give me an Email. Can also be a Dummy one. I will send it. I just tried to send you a Link. YT deletes it again... :(
And Dracula lifted huge parts of its plot from Carmilla and Polidori's Vampyr. Salem's Lot by Stephen King is also his direct hommage on Dracula and revered as one of the best vampire stories ever. And Nosferatu, like Salem's Lot has more than enough own ideas that weren't in the Dracula novel.
@@justasoulsfan9805 I've never read "the vampyr" but I have read Camilla, lots of times, and I think you and I may define the word "huge" very differently. I also know that Lord Ruthven was based on Byron who was nothing like stoker's vampire in personality (though, in a lot of ways very much like the charming gentleman Dracula we know through Cinema). But you seem defensive and I don't know why. The plot of Nosferatu and Dracula are mostly identical, with mostly the names just changed. There's drawing inspiration from something, like stoker did from Camilla, for the blood is the life, The Vampyr etc... and then there's just lifting it, which is why they had to destroy all the copies. Which is also why I can confidently say that you don't know what ideas Of its own it has or doesn't have. No one's seen the movie in a hundred years.
@@mrjdgibbsNo one has seen the movie in a hundred years? Sry but now you're talking bs. Copies of the movie have survived, been restored and are available today. Heck, both the Murnau version and the Herzog version can be watched on TH-cam right now. For free. Nosferatu 1922 is Public Domain. There are hundreds of sites where it's uploaded. I suggest you watch the movie for once. I watched both Nosferatu movies and read the Dracula novel. I know very well where both are samey/similar or differ. And I can confidently say both have the same premise, but very different execution. Yes, Nosferatu exists because Murnau didn't have rights and had to change names, setting, elements of the story. But calling it a blatant rip off is like saying Godzilla 1954 is a rip off of Beast from 20,000 Fathoms.
The guy on the horse is Hutter, that's pretty much the same outfit he wore in the 1922 movie when he first arrived at Orlok's castle.
Seems like they gave him hair. I don't usually like changes like this, but the rest looks amazing and Robert Eggers is yet to disappoint us.
He's making his count orlock look like Bram Stokers Dracula.
He had a little hair in the original, like around the ears and back of the head. Dafoe did too in Shadow of the Vampire
@@matthockin4282 Sure, but now he has a full set of hair. I wonder if they'll do the Coppolla's Dracula thing where he regenerates. We'll see.
