The only fun left is watching Dracula unlock cool skills

As the most popular vampire in movie history, Dracula can be called the super star in the vampire world. He was originally derived from the vampire novel "Dracula" published by Irish writer Bram Stoker in 1897, which not only laid the foundation for modern vampire pop culture, but also created the genre of vampires. It is simply a new generation of mountain monsters... .. So many students will think that Dracula is the world's first vampire, but this film seems to hold different opinions. So here comes the question...Since Dracula didn't collect the essence of heaven, earth, aura, sun and moon from the stone, how did he become a vampire? "The First Year of Dracula" is trying to answer this question for us.

I say "attempt" because "Dracula's First Year" is too rigorous in the details of the research. I went to IMDB and took a look at it. It was all the blood and tears of the foreign boys and the young guys. The year is not right! The country is not up to you! The character's cause of death is not right! Maybe you want to laugh at them and lose if you are serious. Isn't this just a brainstorming movie? But the question is whether the characters in the movie use the names of real people in history.

The prototype of Dracula is considered to be the historical Vlad III (Vlad III) who once ruled Wallachia. He has the nickname "the Impaler" because his hobby is to kill the enemy Nail them to the picket. Before becoming Dracula in the movie, Dracula was called Prince Vlad and ruled Transylvania, the hometown of the legendary vampire. Although these two places with strange names are in Romania, they are really not the same place. There are a lot of bugs in similar details. Of course, if you don't think this kind of section is rigid, then...when I didn't say it.

The story and narrative of "Dracula’s First Year" are very simple and rude. After all, it takes 92 minutes to squeeze the hatred of the country and the family, the betrayal of the family, the love of the family, the skin of the tiger, the fight against temptation, the battle of revenge, and even the fate after hundreds of years. The encounter is in a hurry! Therefore, the characters in this film, except for Dracula himself, basically exist like soy sauce. Even our big villain boss, the sultan prince of the Turkish Empire, has no sense of existence except for jumping out and saying a few typical villain lines and completing the boss battle with the protagonist Dracula. It is worth mentioning that it is said that the villain boss and Dracula used to be like brothers and sisters, but I'm sorry, I didn't get it from the film at all. It is so good to set up a love and kill drama, so it was wasted.

So continue our question, how did Dracula become a vampire? To put it simply, he needs to use external forces to resist foreign enemies and protect his relatives and subjects, and this external force is the power of a vampire. And where does the power of this vampire come from? From an ancient vampire living in the cave. What makes people drunk is that the movie did not introduce the origins of this old vampire at all. We only know that it is called Caligula (and I googled it. The name Caligula is the third emperor of the Roman Empire. Another name, he is considered a typical tyrant in the early Roman Empire). This old vampire looks like the blood ancestor in "Hemophilus", with long and dirty nails, and it makes a gurgling sound when it speaks. So when he recovered his beauty at the end of the film and turned into an old lion look, it shocked me.

However, students who like vampire themes and actor Luke Evans should still find some fun in the film. For example, when the male protagonist just gains the power of vampire, he unlocks the cool vampire skills step by step: physical recovery becomes stronger, instant get clairvoyant eyes and ears, travel thousands of miles every day, but the most eye-catching thing is "turn into a large group of bats when you move." This setting made me stunned, and my mind reverberated: My bat suit is fashionable and fashionable. And, if you don’t mind that the male protagonist fought like a plug-in, it’s worth "wow" when he is alone in the fight, especially when he turns on the "Somatosensory" mode to control a large group of bats to fight Turkey. When you were in the army, you would think "Can it be like this? An eye-opener." For another example, in the scene where Dracula and his wife are together, there is basically no shirt on, so you have a lot of opportunities to slowly appreciate Luke Evans' muscles. By the way, there are several sex scenes in this film. What? Do you still care about his wife's beauty? Okay, there are chests!

By the way, the young actor who plays Dracula’s son is Art Parkinson, also known as Riken the Great in Game of Thrones. He looks more and more like Bran...One more thing, I don't know if the director wants to pay tribute to Coppola's "Four Hundred Years of Surprise". There are several shots in it. . . For example, Dracula pierced the silhouette of the enemy, the shot of his wife falling from the tower, and the shot of him holding her wife in tears. . . .

    The prince's wife fell off a cliff, and the prince jumped to save his wife. This is where the law of free fall plays a key role. The most super-powered person, after chasing for a long time, actually didn't catch up. But the wife is also quite fierce, she fell so high, she didn't hang up immediately. "Pharaoh, I can't do it anymore, this is my last party fee, and it must be handed over to the organization!"
