I like vampire movies very much, because of mystery and because of eternity. However, in recent years, the image of vampires with deep, horrible and ugly recognition has gradually been washed away by new-age vampire films such as "Twilight" and "The Vampire Diaries". I have slowly become accustomed to vampires living in the sun. Get used to their loneliness and ruthlessness, forget that vampires should be afraid of the light, and are a person who can only hide in the night forever. "The First Year of Dracula" once again pulled my memory back into the dark.
In the 15th century, the Ottoman Turk Empire fought everywhere. The young Dracula was sent to the Turkish Sultan as a hostage of a subject country, received inhuman training and war torn and killed, and became a member of his war machine. Gula hated to cover his hands with blood again, and said goodbye to his former comrade-in-arms, the current Sultan Muhammad, and returned to his hometown to become a prince and lived a peaceful life.
An accidental disappearance of a Turkish scout team made Muhammad doubt Dracula’s loyalty to him, so he ordered Dracula to hand over 1,000 Transylvanian teenagers about 15 years old to join the army in Turkey and let Dracula join the army. His son was taken hostage to show his loyalty. Thinking of the torture he had suffered, Dracula didn't want his son to go his own way. His resistance angered Muhammad. The former brothers turned against vengeance. Dracula's country and people will face a devastating disaster.
In order to protect his family and people, Prince Dracula used the power of the Son of Darkness and agreed on a three-day period. During these three days, he would use the power of vampires to defeat the empire. If Dracula can persist in the primitive vampires during these three days His desire-not to drink human blood, then three days later, he will be able to regain his original free body.
At dawn on the third day, the insidious and cunning Sultan used a sneak attack to kill Dracula's wife and kidnapped his son to return to the empire. In order to save his son, Dracula, who became weak in the sun, sucked his wife’s blood and possessed supernatural powers. He summoned the dark clouds and turned the whole world into the night. In the night, he galloped and led by himself. The transformed vampires killed the Sudan. However, the vampires began to enjoy the invincibility that this power brought them, hoping to have this supernatural ability forever, and to kill all the aliens that were not vampires. In order to protect his son and humanity, Dracula chose to sacrifice again and tear it apart. The dark clouds let the strong sunlight burn all the vampires to death, and he himself became an immortal corpse.
This is a film that basically tells how the vampire was born. In this film, the vampire is no longer what we have seen before. The appearance is gentle and elegant, but the inside is bloodthirsty and cruel. It is righteous, upright, and cruel. , It also shows us the other side of vampire's warmth, blood, and domineering.
Sacrificing his freedom in order to protect his wife and children, he handed himself over to the Dark Devil; when the people found him turned into a demon and burned him, even though he was so angry, he still shouldered the heavy responsibility of saving the country; he was demonstrating his strength to the Sudan. At that time, he cruelly pierced thousands of Turkish soldiers with a spear. This is no longer a vampire that we usually see who has lived for a thousand years, but an elegant gentleman who is always indifferent to everything. This is a living man with rich feelings, a brave king, a loving father, and a warm husband.
For a long time, I have been thinking that there are so few people in European and American countries, but they can always shoot such magnificent and majestic places that need to be magnificent, while there are so many people in China, but domestic dramas can always shoot big scenes. Into a stingy scattered crowd? This film is also quite delicate. Whether it is a rolling mountain range or a hundred thousand army, whether it is a pile of silver coins or a group of bats, the scene is suffocating, and it is perfect with the style of the film itself, gloomy gray tones, bright and brilliant lights , The bloody killing, the interlacing of cold and warm, let people gradually from warmth to cold-blooded, and feel Dracula's change from strong to cruel.
He fought to protect his family and turned into a rosy face. He was willing to fall to gain dark power, but he has always adhered to the deepest justice of his soul, refused to eat human blood and even destroyed himself. Demons also have reasons to become demons. Sometimes, demons may also have an angelic side. Maybe demons are angels, and angels are also demons.
