Movie TV – Most Intriguing Vampire Myth – Dracula 2000
Written by info on December 27th, 2009 in Comerciales Famosos.
There’s an overwhelming amount of films about Dracula out there. As I’m reflecting on all the films I’ve seen thus far, most of them are pretty mediocre. I know when most people consider a Dracula film, the first title that usually pops in their head is Francis Ford Coppola’s interpretation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Remember it? Dracula is played by Gary Oldman and Winona Ryder features as his eternal love, Mina Harker.
Maybe I set my expectations too high when I first saw this film, but I didn’t feel anything while watching it or after it was over. Many people loved it. I suspect their opinions were swayed after seeing Francis Ford Coppola highlight as the director. (He was responsible for the Godfather’s after all.)
To be fair, the overall cinematography of this film was beautifully done – it LOOKED great. It also faithfully follows Bram Stoker’s original Dracula story. What didn’t I like about it? I felt more than a few scenes were extremely slow-moving and over-dramatized. Also, it was just such a faithful rendition of the Dracula story… nothing new or intriguing to spark my imagination. This kills me since I’m a very story-driven person.
Hence, I was so thoroughly amazed the first time I watched Dracula 2000. I immediately fell in love with the Dracula myth presented in this film and it still reigns in my heart as THE explanation of how Dracula came into being and why vampires exist. Plus, Gerard Butler lends his dark good looks for the role of Dracula. (He’s the same actor who played the Phantom in the musical film version of Phantom of the Opera, representing yet another dark tortured soul who steals my heart.)
Movie manager software can also allow you to create a list which can be posted on a website or attached to an email for someone else to peruse. In this way, your movie collection becomes portable and accessible to anyone with whom you want to share it. You might also want to think about how easy it is to personalize the tools of a movie manager. Many of these software programs will allow you to put into it any information you deem necessary – ratings, extra details, etc. This way, you can create a system which helps you or that helps others who might be seeing your list.
The Downsides of Movie Managing
However, there are downsides to everything, aren’t there? One of the main issues with a movie manager is that you need to spend time entering in the titles of the movies. And if you have a lot of movies, this can take up a long time. Of course, you might be able to pay off a younger sibling or cousin to do the work for you – and without spending a lot of money in the process. Another possible program with a film manager is that some people are simply not computer literate and if you’re one of these people, you might find the installation of the process challenging. Most times, all you have to do is insert a disk or download the program – a no brainer – but that still might be too challenging for some. And if you’re not on the computer a lot, this sort of movie manager doesn’t make sense for your lifestyle either.
Dracula’s flashbacks to his Judas days lasts only 5 mins but it’s such an enlightening scene. I can’t explain it, but I felt a deep sense of fulfillment and satisfaction after I learned it. Suddenly I felt like I understood Dracula so much more and where he was coming from.
If you haven’t yet, you need to see it.
One final note, I made the mistake of watching the 2 direct-to-video sequels to this film naively thinking they would offer more insight and elaboration into the Judas story. They didn’t. This storyline was forgotten and more superficial vampire killing and blood thirst replaced it. Pity
