I like this version very much. In the first episode, I was attracted by the poetic lines and the heavy sense of history. There is a sense of history, not to mention the beauty of Xiao Qiao! ! ! The second episode was even more unexpected by the landlord, and actually introduced the trend of feminism, which made me a little excited. The screenwriter of Xiao Qiao's version of Dracula has shaped the heroine's character very well, especially the subtle psychological changes are also in place. Although the female lead is far less beautiful than Winona in "Four Hundred Years", she is more flesh-and-blood and more mature.
Before "Shocking" did not give a reasonable explanation for why Mina suddenly fell in love with Dracula, it seems to be because of sexual attraction or memories of previous lives, but no matter how it is set, I always feel a little thin, probably because of limited movie time There is no way to portray it as delicately as a TV show. In short, many friends said that when Winona gave up the beautiful and delicate Keanu Reeves to choose a dog father after reading it? ? ? ? ! ! ! ! Although I am also a fan of dog dads, it is true that Keanu Reeves is much more handsome and charming? ! To put it mildly, the dog father has a very morbid appearance~~~~~
Back to the topic, in this version, Mina is portrayed as a top student in medical school, intelligent and independent, full of dreams, and dare to challenge the secular conventions, she dares to go to Germany Pulling the carriage (the Victorian moral standards her behavior is simply absurd), and told Dracula that she was asked when she was a child if she wanted to be a nurse in the future, and she always stubbornly said that she wanted to be a real doctor like her father. . People thought she was playful as a child, but after the age of 14 people didn't find such an answer cute anymore. Isn't the subtext that the society at that time was full of prejudice against a woman who challenged men's careers? Mina must have been questioned by others for a long time. When she confessed to Dracula that she was nervous about the exam, Dracula said sincerely:
"....when it comes to dreams, one may falter, but the one way to fail is to abandon them."
As a bitter bastard who is trying to pursue his dreams, I almost burst into tears when I heard this sentence, okay? ! So Mina was stunned at the time. Probably no one but her parents had encouraged her like this when she grew up so big, especially after she told her about her dream of becoming a doctor, what she got was not noncommittal, not hiding. Good disdain, not exaggerated surprise, but a seasoned man with genuine encouragement and support. I think Mina fell in love with Dracula, this is the moment.
Let's see how Jonathan deals with his dream of a beloved woman. On the night of the proposal, a discordant voice asked, "Miss Murray is going to be a doctor, how can she be a competent English wife?" I think it should be translated as competent to express the prejudice of the questioner)" Jonathan did not defend the dream of the woman he loves, but said to make her forget the stupid knowledge she learned in college, manage the house well, and be what a woman should do matter. (Original: I have every confidence that she'll forget all this silliness at university and settle down and dedicate herself to more natural, womanly pursuit.) Look at the words, silence, settle down, dedicate, more natural, all are directives Sexual, condemning, it's not natural for women to be doctors! I was so angry then! ! ! !
Such a comparison is decisive. The vast majority of women have a steel scale in their hearts, look at these two men, one is ready to kill their partner's dream with invisible household chores, and the other is to support and encourage their lover when they encounter difficulties. In the end, Mina fell in love with Dracula. !
Writing here, I can't help but think about it, Jonathan is a typical Victorian gentleman, and it was a period when machismo was highly authoritative, and even Queen Victoria herself, as a woman, felt that women should stay at home honestly, husband and child. . So it's understandable that Jonathan and his peers have this idea. It's a pity that in the 21st century, most Chinese men still think that women should be the role of the sweetheart, so there are so many people who mention "female doctor". Is this backward or backward? When I was young or young, I thought that it was only in relatively isolated rural areas that would be so conservative and narrow. Now that I have grown up and been in contact with many male friends, I have found that this has nothing to do with knowledge, education, or economic conditions, but most Chinese men. Deep-rooted feudal ideology. And these people always attribute their failures to the fact that today's girls worship money and things. For example, in Dracula's play, these people must attribute Mina's betrayal of Jonathan to the fact that Dracula is rich and handsome, so Mina naturally changed her mind. But these men with low self-esteem are often complacent, pointing at women's studies, love, and marriage, which causes my sister to always have a mocking voice in her heart every time she goes out with some boys.
