"Being a vampire also wants to come to the world to get love..."
The feeling of this movie is not scary, but cold. This kind of coldness is not so creepy. In addition to the use of light and darkness, sound to render, in the slow body language and superb acting skills of Kinsky and Ajani, the coldness and loneliness of Count Dracula can be slowly oozing out.
There are many shots in the film that impress me.
The beginning of the film implies that Earl Dracula desires and plans to come to the world. The incarnation of the vampire, the bat flying in the sky and looking for a gesture, Lucy, who loves her husband, was awakened by an ominous dream. Mr. Refeld entrusted Jonathan to start the conversation and frequently appeared strange laughter.
During the dinner to entertain Jonathan, under the projection of darkness and white light, Dracula listened to the usual cold wind roaring in Yinshan Castle, and showed a hint of joy for Jonathan's arrival: "Listen, listen, the Son of the Night is singing again. "He stared at Jonathan for dinner, restraining his inner desires, until Huck accidentally cut his fingers and bleeds, revealing his bloodthirsty desire. Jonathan stepped back and looked at him scaredly, and he suppressed his inner desire again.
Late at night after Earl Dracula eagerly signed the contract to buy a house, he walked slowly towards Huck's room in the dark tunnel, revealing his nature, and decided to kill Jonathan. Jonathan really felt terrified at this time. However, the earl seemed to sense that Lucy was awakened during the sleepwalking and called Jonathan, and he thoughtfully left Jonathan to live, as a reason to threaten Lucy's love.
I think the best thing to watch is the process of Lucy's first meeting with Count Dracula. Lucy straightened her hair, and suddenly the door opened. Lucy, played by Adjani, listened to the sound of the door and footsteps, and saw the earl’s shadow but no body. Her slowly unfolding body movements and expressions seemed to say: "A chill is coming and I can’t move. I feel scared. But you have to fight against it." When the earl asked for a little love from Lucy, and even threatened him to restore Jonathan's memory, Lucy was not afraid, and this love showed her courage, holiness, and inviolability. : "Don't think about it. I won't even give this love to God. If Jonathan can't have my love, then no one will have it." In the face of chaste and determined Lucy, even a vampire can only be frustrated. Leave.
Lucy decided to sacrifice herself to kill Count Dracula, and she felt a little scared when facing the count who threw her claws at her. When she gently pushed the earl away, the earl compromised in a low tone, and Lucy remained holy and inviolable.
The whole film is based on a cold atmosphere, but there is warmth between people under the cold: Lucy and Jonalin have a passionate love-Jonathan ventured to the castle of Earl Dracula in order to improve his life. Facing the strong request of Earl Dracula, Lucy was unwavering and determined not to give the Earl a trace of love; in the face of the plague, optimistic people used the time at the end of their lives to enjoy themselves.
Watching this film in 2020 has a special feeling. The bat, incarnate as a vampire by Count Dracula, came to the world with a plague. In the end of the film, although Dracula died at the hands of humans, under the laws of nature, the vampire symbolizing death and disease fell on the next selected person. Jonathan became the next vampire, and he quietly rode towards him. The unknown distance.
The scientific knowledge that mankind has explored in nature confidently believes that it can explain nature; nature quietly gives mankind an unknown degree of disaster in some way.
When the SARS virus broke out in 2003, the Chinese people finally defeated it. They should have used this as a warning to establish a knowledge and system for prevention. However, 17 years later, in 2020, the infectious virus came and broke out again, knocking down certain things again. The self-confidence of ignorant officials. In 2003, the Chinese people paid a huge price to obtain knowledge from the SARS virus; today, countries in the world still have to pay a huge price to obtain knowledge from nature.
At this time Earl Jonathan left, and it is unknown when he will come again.
