The director is Francis Ford Coppola, who directed "The Godfather" and "Apocalypse Now"; Earl Dracula is played by the villain Boss Gary Oldman of "This Killer Is Not So Cold", he is definitely a talented person. Classical beauty Winona Reid is also very suitable for Dracula’s dream lover who has been lingering for four hundred years; Dracula’s rival, the famous Van Helsing, is played by my favorite old guy Anthony Hope Kings plays the lead role; young and handsome Keanu Reeves plays the fiancé after the reincarnation of Dracula’s dream lover; even Dracula’s female vampire is Monica Bellucci.
The temptation of the devil and the desire caused by it are surreal, and the legend of hundreds of years has added a lot to it. It is quite difficult to film this feeling into a movie. Coppola used the most advanced technology at the time to create a ghostly atmosphere as much as possible. Those scenes were indeed terrifying and scary, but the audience did not empathize with the temptation of the devil. Surreal issues and religious and cultural barriers are certainly one of the reasons, but the key is that the director does not give the actors enough space. The protagonists in this film are very pale, some have unclear motives, and some behaviors are unbelievable. For example, Gary Oldman’s Dracula is more than perverted, but the charm is not enough. The director spends all his energy in shaping his evil. In various ostentations, he didn't work hard to portray the tragedy of his four hundred years of lonely search for love. As a result, his temptation to the heroine is not convincing. It is just shopping as a prince. The originally virtuous and virtuous heroine is trapped in the quagmire of endless desires, unable to extricate herself from it. Very thin. Van Helsing, apart from killing Dracula, where did his craziness come from? There are a lot of scenes in this film, but it rarely portrays his heart. It is also a waste of a good actor like Anthony Hopkins. Keanu Reeves was still immature at the time, and his British English accent is really unsatisfactory. In short, this movie gave people a gorgeous and spooky experience, but it didn't move me.
Despite this fatal shortcoming, there is this long-lived legend as the foundation, with the performance of big-name actors on the surface, and the backing of the atmosphere of the scene. The film is worthy of the name of a blockbuster, but it is not worthy of the classic word. .
