like opera

I read the reviews before and said that this movie is a classic of vampire movies. After watching it, I was very disappointed. It was too artistic, like an opera, or too connotative.
That oppressive feeling, gothic darkness? It seems not. By the way, it looks like "The Exorcist", and the director should have learned from "The Exorcist".
The heroine is so beautiful, I didn't think much of it when I watched "Edward Scissorhands", but she is really charming in this movie. And that Dracula, how familiar he looks, after checking his works, I found out that he is the sheriff in Batman (it is very related to Bat), and he also played Sirius, and he is also the policeman in "LEON", If you think about it, it does change a lot.

    The style is weird, and the temperament is absent. A few clever montages cannot save the inexplicable plot and chaotic editing. There is neither the wonderful performance of Dracula in the Mornau version nor the evil and enchanting Adjani in the Herzog version. Temperament, Gothic style is missing, and the Ukiyo-e-like setting like "Guai Tan" can really reflect Coppola's skill.

Dracula quotes

  • Dracula: You will, I trust, excuse me if I do not join you. But, I have already dined, and I never drink... wine.

    Jonathan Harker: [looks at painting on the wall] An ancestor? I see a resemblance.

    Dracula: The Order of the Dracul, the Dragon. An ancient society, pledging my forefathers to defend the church against all enemies of Christ. Their relationship was not entirely... successful.

    Jonathan Harker: Oh.

    [chuckles]

    Jonathan Harker: Yes.

    Dracula: [roars with rage as he draws a sword and points it at Harker's throat] It is no laughing matter! We Draculs have a right to be proud! What devil or witch was ever so great as Atilla, whose blood flows in these veins? Blood...

    [laughs]

    Dracula: Is too precious a thing in these times. The war-like days are over. The victories of my great race are but a tale to be told. I am the last of my kind.

    Jonathan Harker: I have offended you with my ignorance, Count. Forgive me.

  • Dracula: [to Jonathan Harker] They say you are a man of good... taste.
