Four hundred years of horror

Another Dracula and Van Helsing story...

reminds the Hugh Jackman and Kate Beckinsale one.

The overall impression is still quite deep, but the plot is not very reasonable

. First of all, the death of Count Dracula is too simple. As a vampire boss, it is really puzzling to be killed by someone simply with a knife (a boss that can fly, turn into smoke, control beasts, and kill with shadows)

and then the love story between Dracula and Mina is too hasty, not much Development, it feels like Dracula has a little more control. Winona and Gary Altman's performances are very exciting, but there is no call on the screen, which may be related to the disagreement between Winona and Gary offstage.

The most unbearable is Professor Fan Haixin, dizzy~~ In the end, Mina actually came to tempt me physically, and she even told me that she likes you by Lucy, where is this? A decent professor goes to someone's chest for no reason,,,,faint!



As for Keanu Reeves' performance, I don't have much impression... But it is worth mentioning that Winona's acting skills and looks give people a very kind feeling, especially the eyes, those who have seen it will not forget it! In the scene where Dracula left, the figure is really graceful and there is no sense of obscenity. Relatively speaking, the other forgotten star of the film, Monica Bellucci... and Winona is really different. . (I always thought she was held too high...)

    Integrating the story lines of Dracula and Nosferatu, adding the medieval background of Vlad III, the vampire prototype piercing, the main battlefield is placed in the late Victorian period at the end of the 19th century when the original novel was written. This explains why Dracula went to London. In order to end the 400-year-old love in the Romanian castle, there is more chase scene from London back to the European continent. The modern gothic costume set is gorgeous, like a grand retro opera extravaganza. The shadows cast on the wall and the human body make out of sync special effects, and the count and princess’s overlapping and editing in the past and reality are all effects made purely by traditional photographic film without the aid of digital technology.

    Lucy's sleepwalking robe flutters, and the ghostly perspective of the rapid advancement. Classical setting, sunset and snow. Beheading and hunting ghosts, the transition is amazing. Coppola has always made the best of the grainy beauty of film. Only the actors' stage-style performances and lines are suffocating. This is a vampire movie with a weird style. Dracula's ghost love, Van Helsing's exorcism fighting method, you can understand it as Laomei's "A Chinese Ghost Story".
