The thing of it is, Coppola's Dracula isn't a traditional adaptation. It's a period adaptation, absolutely, but it also took huge liberties with the plot (the Mina reincarnation romance, to name the big one). It was the fresh new interpretation of its day. I would LOVE an actual true adaptation of the novel, but this ... wasn't it.

It was, however, an absolutely gorgeous movie on a visual level, absolutely. The costuming and cinematography are stunning.

It's arguably the most traditional adaptation of Dracula we've got, certainly the most traditional Hollywood adaptation.

Really? I didn't know that

/shrug I'm not 100% positive, but I'm struggling to come up with a more traditional adaptation example. There's been plenty of vampire media, and even Dracula. But they usually try to put a fresh twist on Stoker's novel.

It's more traditional than the 1931 one?

It's been a while since I saw that version, but... IIRC that version gives Renfield a much more prominent role. Instead of Jonathan Harker being the one to visit Dracula's castle, etc. etc., it's Renfield.

Huh, you're right, I completely forgot about that. I guess I need to rewatch it too!

+1000

It's a fine movie, but especially with Dracula Daily going on, I've been dying for a movie that actually tells the story, especially when it comes to the Harkers.

Claes Bang is my new favorite Dracula in the latest series adaptation.

It's a beautiful movie, for sure. I don't really have a favorite Dracula adaptation, because few of them try to be book accurate, and so many are greats in their own ways. Lugosi, Lee, Langella, Jordan, etc.

I didn't care much for the movie, mostly because the cast just did not work for me. But most of the costumes and sets were attractive.

I love this movie!!

I never understood why Dracula had hair that looked like a butt

(Anonymous) 2022-10-23 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
It's iconic! And maybe people back then would've thought it was cool.

I was around back then and I just thought why does he have butt hair

(Anonymous) 2022-10-23 01:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I think they meant "back then" as in the end of the 19th century.

But, maybe you're secretly an immortal vampire and that's what you mean to...
