"Dracula's First Year": A Different Kind of Vampire Love

The movie's understanding of vampires, it is not difficult to see that it has expanded the supernatural ability too much, not only has a trend of deification, but even abandoned the basic model of the relationship between vampires and the world in the past. We are not surprised by this, let alone from it. The desire to be delighted and satisfied, and the stubborn main idea in the movie not only makes us feel old-fashioned, but also makes the collision of old-fashioned and innovative so pale and without passion. The movie has always advocated that it wants to make an epic vampire movie, but the handling of the story and the scene is more or less a bit of a drama. A hero rather than a leading figure who bears the destiny of the country, we can feel the ties and torture of a ruler for the love of his sons and daughters, and we can also understand the urgent desire to resist and change the fate of the film, but the film is too simple and direct. Designing the plot as a no-brainer method of compelled to seek superpowers really can't improve the connotation and quality of the movie. The movie seems to be going to an extreme. It uses the old story routine to renovate and repeat it again. It just wants to use the big scenes made by special effects to cover up the insufficiency of the small style of the plot. In the movie, we can't even feel the misery and despair that the protagonist is repeatedly overwhelmed by the aggressive predicaments. Instead, we feel sad about the deliberate arrangement of the villain's coddling and powerlessness. The road to becoming a vampire will become so smooth, the so-called withstand The ordeal of the test seems to be pretending to be seen by others. I feel that the director is so naive. Even if he was born in commercials, he will not lower the IQ of the story to the point of going back twenty years. The director should take a good look at the popular vampire film and television works at the moment, and it will not make the film feel so old-fashioned and pedantic, with no bright spots and new ideas.

The movie has created a gimmick with a vampire atmosphere very well. It depicts the vision of a vampire for us in the form of thermal imagery. It is not only quite innovative, but also makes people feel the vampire's desire for blood. This is The movie is quite amazing. However, the movie's plot setting is a bit stretched, and the effect is not too ideal. The way of combining benevolence, righteousness, morality, children's love and long-term love is not enough to inspire people to vampire themes. That kind of gorgeous and handsome man's dissolute and cruel alternative aesthetic, it can be said that the peerless good man who values ​​love, righteousness and humiliation has been unable to win people's favor. On the contrary, the ruthless and cold-eyed handsome man can arouse people's desire for vampires even more. . How can a look of deep sorrow and infatuation represent the mysterious and gorgeous vampires, even the ancestors could not be caught in the misery all day long and unable to extricate themselves, too much positive energy in the movie is obviously not suitable for such a theme as vampires , even if the film wants to express a positive theme, it is rarely effective in such an atmosphere. The movie has been integrated into a dark and dark atmosphere. It is difficult to support the entire layout if you want to highlight that kind of heroic and epic temperament. Even if you join the grand battlefield, it feels very small. Wan Xiongshi only highlights that a person's heroic power is obviously out of the scope of war movies, and the movie is ultimately based on love as a prominent theme, which gives people the feeling of being more nondescript and difficult to form. The film's performances and dialogues tend to be too academic style, boring, rigid and rigid, neither showing the heroic and fearless arrogance, nor the earth-shattering poignant love. What kind of dominant style the film is trying to express is nondescript, and the lack of character makes the film one of the bad movies.

Luke Evans, the hero of the movie, obviously doesn't have the characteristics of a vampire. Instead, he is not as good as the ancestor played by the old actor Charles Dance. It's just that the director deliberately altered his image beyond recognition. But it can still make people feel the domineering domineering and majestic aura, and the unique British style with luxurious temperament is very close to the temperament and image of a vampire, which makes people feel yearning unconsciously. On the other hand, Luke Evans didn't feel this way. As a ruler with a bitter face, he made people doubt his ability, and too many scenes of family entanglement lost the atmosphere and atmosphere of being a hero. In terms of spirit, he lost the awe-inspiring atmosphere of being a hero, and the elegance and luxury of being a vampire.

Watching this movie always makes people unable to find the feeling, and I don't know what kind of mood to keep watching it all the time. The performances of the actors are completely out of context, and the special effects scenes of the movie also make people feel extremely simple. The film continues the dark and gloomy atmosphere to the end, and the cold-toned processing of the movie screen does not make people feel the slightest warmth even in the depths of the touching plot. And the movie also shows a sense of paleness and powerlessness that is difficult to interpret. You can fall into a vortex of bitterness and hatred every minute. It's annoying, annoying.
