Nosferatu the Vampyre

I have seen one or two of Herzog's films before, and I always feel that the way the story evolves in the film is strange, not driven by the plot (reasonable prediction), nor guided by poetic feeling, there is something indescribable. madness in it. But watching this movie doesn't feel the same. I think there is something like a philosophical evolution that exists as the core of the film, as if the film itself is constructed and presented to us by the director in the form of philosophical...

Favorite version of Dracula

I have watched three vampire-related movies "Nosferatu", "Nosferatu: Ghosts of the Night", and "Four Hundred Years of Fright" all about the real estate staff being commissioned by the vampire earl to handle a business. The story produced by the earl’s castle. The plot inside is very similar. The hero's colleague is always driven by the earl into a mental asylum, and the hero's lover can always have emotional problems with the earl. The reason why the plots are similar is that they are all...

The Incarnation of the Dark Side of Human Nature-Nosferatu

2008-01-12 This
　　film was shot by German director Herzog in 1979 and remakes the film of the same name in 1922.
　　Anyone who has seen Coppola's "Four Hundred Years of Surprise" will find that Coppola's version is also an imitation of the above two films. I personally feel that Coppola’s version is the worst. Its biggest sin is wasting four very good actors. The worst performer is Anthony Hopkins. Hopkins’s performance in this film is terrible. Dr. Van Halen looked like a fool, a secon

I love Adjani

Herzog’s films are not my favorite, but this one is very beautiful, even if you ignore the performance of Ajani’s ghostly possessions.
At the time she was 25 years old,
modern, compassion, pure and delicate mythical temperament, mixed with irony
The helmsman’s posture of suffering was like the branches of the
violin
boat when Count Dracula disembarked.
Christianity eventually gave birth to its own terminator internally, and externally, it gave birth to its own...

Knight on horseback, forward!

Cast a cold eye, on life, on death, horseman, pass by.

——William Butler Yeats

 

is very strange. After watching the last shot of Herzog’s "Nosfaratu", I remembered Yeats’s poem . Translated into Chinese roughly: "cast cold eyes, watch life, watch death; knight, move forward." You know, in the movie, this knight is the new vampire Jonathan Hack.

As a tribute to his predecessor, Murnau, Herzog accidentally photographed it as one of his masterpieces. Compared...

Herzog's version is my favorite. The role of the protagonist is more highlighted by catching the wind and the shadow, and it does not have a curious mentality like other versions. This version is the most literary, with just the right soundtrack, the coordination of light and shadow, and adding some of its own characteristics on the basis of perfectly restoring the Murnau version. The most beautiful Lucy, the most beautiful...

The temperament of the film itself is unparalleled, gloomy and grim, the director's approach to science and religion is interesting, every character is good, and even Dracula's servants are...

Re-interpretation of the 22-year version of Murnau, the same story, but a very different temperament. With a gust of cold wind, the slower the camera, the more terrifying, and the number of lines should be minimized as much as possible, so that the audience can deeply enter the heart of the vampire. The Dracula movies I watched before were far inferior to the originator of the two "Nosfitula". Herzog always retains some of the documentary quality in his films....

The adaptation of [4.0] and Murnau's version does not have too much difference in plot, but Dracula as a symbol of disease is more thorough here in Herzog. Therefore, compared to Murnau's horror-hunting trend, "Ghost of the Night" portrays Dracula as a pathogenic body that tends to be interpreted by modern medicine. It came from the deep mountains to the city and brought a plague-like curse of death. It is an allegorical film about human self-inflicted disaster. Adjani is responsible for the...
