Elisabeth Bathory, the famous vampire, once the "Hungarian first beauty", the rich countess. And history can only be written by the victors.
Rather than blood, this film focuses more on the tragedy of the countess. It does not portray the countess as silly and sweet like "Another Boleyn Girl", and then push all the evil to love. Her childhood home education taught her to be cruel, but she forgot to teach her to die. She is also a combination of contradictions, she is kind, but also violent; she argues with male nobles for equality, but does not treat farmers as human beings. She is arrogant and calm in discussions with other men, but she is deeply immersed in illusory love and cannot extricate herself.
There is no doubt that the Countess of Bathory killed many young virgins, whether it was being seduced step by step by the villain as in the film, or seeking it herself. She is a murderer, and the world doesn't care how many of the dead were killed by the countess. History only needs to remember the bloody ferocity of the countess. The gods made up stories, set up tablets, and then told you that demons are bad, and demons eat people.
The countess recorded in the history books liked to wear men's clothes since she was a child, and demanded herself according to the standards of men. She also did good deeds and built a hospital in her early years. However, this is an appearance, and it is said that she started a bloody "hunt" while her husband was still alive, using the blood of a virgin to maintain her youth.
The front and rear shots in the film mirror each other, making the film look very complete, forming a tragic closed loop.
Destiny clearly marked the price of every gift, and laid the groundwork for every ups and downs.
