"Bram Stoker's Dracula"
Starring Anthony Hopkins,
Gary Oldman, Keanu
Reeves, Winona Ryder
Directed by Francis Ford
Coppola
Rated R
Playing at Cinema 3
"Bram Stoker's Dracula"
struck me as an antonym for the
"milk does the body good"
commercials. Something about
all the bloodsucking that goes
on in the movie kept making
me think that this was some
sort of hype for the nutritional
power of blood.
However, a glass of milk nev
er lets me turn into an invisible
creature of the night or become
a neon green mist that floats
through the darkness.
But that is the point of Dracu
la; a commitment to the deep
dark underworld may provide
a few extra powers but it also
comes with a lot of evil respon
sibilities, the hassle of finding
necks to suck on and some
nasty bloodstains.
"Dracula" is a visual play
ground. The creative cine
matography is the hip of hop,
the king of cool, and secured
my approval, but the movie did
lean rather heavily on visual
Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder star in “Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
spectacles.
After four centuries of exis
tence, Dracula (Gary Oldman) is
ready to quench his deep-down
body thirst. So he heads out for
London, where he meets Mina
(Winona Ryder), the young and
beautiful fiancee of Harker
(Keanu Reeves).
Mina's resemblance to Dracu-
la's deceased wife again brings
out his human side. However,
when Dracula begins a rather
explicit relationship with
Mina's friend Lucy (Sadie
Frost), something must be done.
The eccentric doctor. Van
Helsing (Anthony Hopkins),
leads a rescue squad that is, for
better or worse, out to catch it
self a monster.
"Dracula" pulls that ever-
loved good vs. evil theme out of
the literary woodwork. But, it
also sounds pretty much like
modern romance to me.
Lovers being caught some
where between loving each oth
er for the rest of eternity or
sucking out all of each other's
blood. Hey, sounds about right.
The characters in "Dracula"
are strong, as I anticipated from
the well-known names in the
cast.
I was most impressed by
Winona Ryder's performance.
She was sincere in her intensity,
authentic in her desperation,
and her accent sounded cool.
On the same note, this is the
first movie that Keanu Reeves
has managed to keep that way-
cool surfer sound from creeping
out of his mouth, even though
he sounded sort of congested,
Watching "Dracula" was sort
of like looking at modern art.
The action flips back and forth
across different parts of the
world rather frequently, and it
is easy to fall one step behind in
comprehension.
Fortunately, Francis Ford
Coppola provides such creative
transitions between scenes that
I almost did not mind the mo
ments of confusion.
The movie is a rather erotic
interpretation. Some of the
more bizarre sexual scenes
caught my attention but made
me wonder if they were neces
sary or merely included for
their shock value.
If the movie is taken beyond
the level of mere blood-sucking
monster horror story, it pro
vides insight into the nature of
evil and man. That is more than
can be said about "Friday the
13th" or "A Nightmare on Elm
Street."
If you plan to see "Dracula", 1
would suggest A) waiting for
the novelty to die down or B)
purchasing tickets in advance. I
spent 30 minutes just waiting to
get into the theater.
