The Academy has always looked down on horror; especially in the acting department. Though this movie did win 4 Oscars for Costume Design (which it deserved), Sound Editing, Makeup/Hairstyling and Production Design.
@@shaalishe was phenomenal in this, especially when in bat and wolf form. it’s hard to convey emotions with 8hrs of makeup, prosthetics and costume, yet he did it flawlessly.
Yes, in reality, the story is about a count in Romania who killed and impaled Ottoman soldiers who were walking around and drank their blood, then the sultan ordered the count to be killed and had his severed head paraded on a stake through the streets of Istanbul.
The armor design is perfect in this film .. red as blood , muscle fibers .. devilish dog faced mask .. it encapsulates all that is Dracula’s future .. he lived this war , and his heartbreak for centuries ..
This is such a great origin, it is a fantastic fall from grace, anything for his love. I like the origin from Dracula Untold too. But Charles Dance is just next level.
So, it comes down to, this is all the priest's fault. Instead of offering comfort to a grieving man, he thinks the best course of action is "Hey, buddy, I know your wife, who you loved with all your heart and soul, is dead, and your entire world is shattered, but I'd like to take this opportunity, while you sob uncontrollably, to remind you that she's in Hell, suffering for eternity." Shit, no wonder Dracula lost it.
@@roobear78 Yes, it's based on the original Vampire story, but it was still one of many vampire movies that had been produced by Hollywood. I was just saying because Gary Oldman always goes 110% 😁
Actually, it's indeed the voice of a metal singer, not Gary's. But only in the parts of the screams. It's been years since I watched this one clip from the backstage so I don't really remember the band, but the singer was super excited for having taken part in this!
A little bit of context for those of you who think the priest in this scene was overly harsh for telling Dracula that his wife was in Hell, while he was attempting to mourn: this is old church tradition, and it makes sense. Eastern Orthodox churches do not even hold funerals for those who commit suicide (if it is known that they were in their right mind and made a true choice). This is because suicide is very high on the list of the absolute worst things you can do. Ever. It is a willful and FINAL act of defiance, hatred and faithlessness before God. By committing suicide you deny Christ's offer of salvation and refuse any repentance. You are saying that the pain is too great for Christ to heal. You are turning your back on all his commandments. You basically spit in God's face, and by extension, the church's face, whose only goal is to effect the salvation of its members. Not only that, it's a brutal and vicious thing to do to your loved ones. The pain of those who survive you is indescribable. So, you and your modern feelies may be triggered by this, but it's quite sensible in context. The fact that it causes Dracula so much pain to hear is more his fault than anyone else's. He's made his wife an idol, and values her above his own God. Notice how he survives his battle with Turks, and begins to give glory to God - but gets distracted by worries of his wife. This is telling. He'll kill thousands in the most brutal fashion for his God, but can't stomach the thought that his wife might be taken from him. Understandable - but mistaken. We all have to let go of our loved ones eventually - and what about the loved ones of the Turks? He gave no thought to them. So he lashes out and blames God when all he has to blame for his agony is his own misplaced love. He drinks the blood of Christ while denouncing Him, and so is cursed. You see the consequences of this horrific sin throughout the rest of the film. That's what makes it such a potent horror film, beyond all the ghastly blood and terrifying imagery. Anyway, saw a lot of hate for the priest in the comments, and wanted to set the record straight. It's harsh, no doubt. But it's absolutely in keeping with Orthodox doctrine and the film's setting, and if you ask me, perfectly reasonable and coherent. The priest's goal in this moment isn't to comfort Dracula. He has a duty to uphold, and not even the mourning of his earthly king can stop him from pronouncing what he must.
No Turkish fake news, no Dracula movie! Still, for me I still can't tell if we are meant to want the good guys to kill Dracula. Or for Dracula to make it back to his castle and survive so he and Mina can be together! This is probably a unique movie. This is no real villian in this movie. There is horror. There is bloodshed, but it is a love movie at heart, and we don't know if Mina goes back to Jonathan afterwards! Jonathan does not try and kill Dracula to get his wife back, but to protect other men from heartbreak, like Lucy's husband. He's mature enough to except he may lose Mina, but also to know it is not their place to finish Dracula. He respects Mina's choice and he's mature enough to allow them to have time alone before Dracula dies. Jonathan is a good man, he just married a reincarnated woman whose heart already belonged to another!
@@Edward-nf4nc 0:01 Vlad Tepes was an Eastern Orthodox Christian Hero, who has been demonised for centuries, by his enemies, and the enemies of Christianity. The Turks were in a subordinate partnership, with a shadowy Oligarchy based in Venice at the time, ….Britain and the USA today. Latin heretical Catholic war lords were also in partnership with the same satanic internationalist Oligarchy.
For the record, in the original book, there is no explanation AT ALL for how Dracula became what he became. This origins storyline was entirely made up for the movie.
You're looking in terms of sticking to canon. In real life.. the life of Vlad Tepes was similar to this in many ways. It's not what I'd remotely call totally made up. They blended some fact and fiction. It's Stoker's novel where nothing is truth man.
@@roadkillz78 i don’t like this movie very much. I thought Gary Oldman’s performance was terrible; he depicted Dracula as a sentimental, heart broken, character, which is not how Dracula really is in the book. He is cunning, ambitious, selfish and enjoys wreaking havoc. Also, I very much disliked the way they changed Mina into the reincarnation of his wife. Again, the book version of her is so much better. She is simply his victim that he picks to make the group suffer because he knows they all adore her extremely,and she is a very intelligent woman whose wits save all of them in the end, a sign of how Stoker championed women and reversed the false idea that women are inherently less intelligent than men which was the prevailing view amongst many in his time.
@@decimustv4257That's how the script was written, not Oldman's choice. If you base his performance on the story he was given to tell, as you should, then it's a great performance.
I saw that too and thought 'I saw that, Wynona!' I never noticed that until I watched this clip. This movie is so good and it's great to see these little moments.
At one point in life we all become Dracula, when you see there is no justice or logic to what happens to us, there you clearly understand that, there isn't a god and if there is, it is not a Biblical one. I admire people who worked on this piece of art, especially Coppola, thank you...
I always kind of wondered what he did to the priests afterwards . It stands to reason that he turned into a vampire pretty quickly after drinking that blood .
Deleted scenes If there's Any existing or extended scenes if there's existing out there will give a better transformation but Possibly far far far more graphically potent from human, mere fcuking mortal to a vampirc blood drinking undead vokolak nosferatue literally... Bram Stokers Dracula by Francis Ford Coppola is Rated for adults only over 18 ONLY.. And apparently was IT is quickly done after drinking consuming the unholy unnatural quite demonic strawberry jam plasma or was it slowly slowly slowly changing mutating turning????????
There's a reason Gary Oldman is considered the modern day "Man of a Thousand Faces" The dude vanishes into every role he plays like a freaking chameleon!
Vlad didn't became Dracula. Vlad WAS already Dracula (Draculea), which means, in Romanian, "Son of the Dragon" Dracula is inspired on Vlad Dracul (or Vlad Draculea) which was a Wallachian ruler of the XV century. He was also known as "Vlad Tepes" or "Vlad, the Impaler"
@@sladjanivkovic2 Well, not a Vampire in the literary/fantastic sense of the word. But he did unspeakable acts of sadistic violence, which puts him in a Vampire-like category 🧛♀🧛♀🧛♀
This film is epic until the very final act. The final fight with Dracula is over far too quickly. Had they given us a great boss battle at the very end. This movie would have been flawless.
@@Shadowman820 No, in the book they killed him while he was still awakening during twilight, smiling by himself cause if he had fully awakened he would have slaughtered them. So in the book they exploited his only weakness, a bit anti climatic but at least coherent.
@@PeterParker1984444 He could not arise until the last of the sun had gone. Jonathan Harker cut Dracula's coat while Quincy Morris stabs him in the heart. At least Dracula dies of those injuries. & accepts his release from the curse. He is utterly convinced that Mina is a re-incarnation of Elizabetha. To conjure the wind (that is a vampiric ability) she speaks a tongue we may assume is that of Romania of that time. In the modern day Wallachia & Romania as a whole Vlad is a National Hero. He is accounted as dying in battle with the Ottoman Turks in December 1476.

How did he become an immortal vampire? 😂 Makes absolutely ZERO sense just because he renounced God and stabbed a cross? Utter nonsense.Good movie though.
Took me years realizing the orthodox priest is performed by Anthony Hopkins. It makes sense that he also 'reincarnated' centuries later as Van Helsing to fight against Dracula.
As a curiosity, although Vlad was the prince of Valachia, after he became a vasal of Matthias Corvinus, he received from the king the fief of Fagaras. located in south western Transylvania. So technically he was the ruler of some part of Transylvania, even if it was a pretty small part.
The question is how did I become a vampire... Every girl asks me how I do not age... All I can think of is all the Red wings I've gotten in the past...
Why would archers be up with the infantry? They wouldn’t, they would be hundreds of yards back and they wouldn’t fire when their own troops would get shot.
FANTASTIC movie with one glaring fault. WHO decided that Keanu Reeves belonged in this movie? He was completely miscast here. Don't get me wrong, he is one of my all time favorite actors.
It was so weird that they put this in the movie. They titled it "Brahm Stoker's" Dracula, which implies that it's the story that Stoker wrote...and yet none of this was in his story. Stoker never even *heard* of Vlad The Impaler until hew was more than half done with the book. The only thing Vlad really inspired is the name. The book made no attempts whatsoever to give Dracula an origin.
You probably haven't read the book, have you. In the book, Van Helsing says - "He must, indeed, have been that Voivode Dracula who won his name against the Turk, over the great river on the very frontier of Turkey-land." (Chapter 18, pp. 145). Yes his wife commiting suicide and reincarnating is not there.
@@heracles8311 I read it 20 plus years ago. I've since read considerably more about Stoker, particularly in regards to what and when he knew about Vlad. Devil's original name was "count Wampyre." Knowledge of Vlad came much later. There sure as hell want this background love story. There was nothing sympathetic about Dracula. He was evil incarnate, beginning to end.

The question is how did I become a vampire... Every girl asks me how I do not age... All I can think of is all the Red wings I've gotten in the past...
So that's were that armor from Blood and Wine comes from.
GREAT MOVIE
I would have watched 2 hours of just him after this moment.
How we got this Dracula to sparkling vampire?
Just a simple case of one person wanting to reinvent the wheel.
Why would archers be up with the infantry? They wouldn’t, they would be hundreds of yards back and they wouldn’t fire when their own troops would get shot.
FANTASTIC movie with one glaring fault. WHO decided that Keanu Reeves belonged in this movie? He was completely miscast here.
Don't get me wrong, he is one of my all time favorite actors.
and what about lucy's husband? that guy is from ''robin hood - men in tights''
@@MrMusicopath Yeah, Cary Elwes. You know, I felt he did a straight up job with his role. Better than Keanu. Still a great movie.
Yeah Keanu isn’t great with accents.
Keanu is fine. He just doesn't do accents. As far as the acting he was fine.
Gary Oldman phantastic
Me being from Transilvania i love this parody...it's a funny movie...😂😂😂😂
It was so weird that they put this in the movie. They titled it "Brahm Stoker's" Dracula, which implies that it's the story that Stoker wrote...and yet none of this was in his story. Stoker never even *heard* of Vlad The Impaler until hew was more than half done with the book. The only thing Vlad really inspired is the name. The book made no attempts whatsoever to give Dracula an origin.
You probably haven't read the book, have you. In the book, Van Helsing says - "He must, indeed, have been that Voivode Dracula who won his name against the Turk, over the great river on the very frontier of Turkey-land." (Chapter 18, pp. 145).
Yes his wife commiting suicide and reincarnating is not there.
@@heracles8311 I read it 20 plus years ago. I've since read considerably more about Stoker, particularly in regards to what and when he knew about Vlad. Devil's original name was "count Wampyre." Knowledge of Vlad came much later.
There sure as hell want this background love story. There was nothing sympathetic about Dracula. He was evil incarnate, beginning to end.
Any else notice that Anthony Hopkins also plays one of the priest
Gary oldman a True Great
I remember watching this film .............
I'm still waiting a Dracula movie that surpasses this one +20 years from it's release and not a single one has come close
Dracula: dead and loving it
As a person of faith, I would never turn my back on God but I could understand why dracula did what he did.
2:36 - she is still alive. Look at the eyes… 😂
