The blockbuster British drama Dracula was launched at the beginning of the year, and N+1 adaptations of the classic vampire theme. In the trailer stage, this drama seems to have excellent casting and setting. It is slightly heavy on taste but maintains the usual evil and charming temperament of the vampire theme, as if it can become a hit.
Judging from the broadcast effect, this Dracula has a total of 3 episodes. Everyone has a high reputation for the first two episodes, and the third episode... There is some controversy.
In terms of a single episode, the first episode is called "The Law of the Beast", which is relatively the best one among the three episodes. It is about a lawyer who has a fiancée and takes a commission to work in a remote castle. The owner of the castle looks old and is actually the famous vampire Count Dracula.
The younger brother of the lawyer quickly went from being a worker to being imprisoned in a castle. His health was deteriorating, and this person was gradually "sucked dry". At the same time, Count Dracula quickly recovered from an old man to a handsome and stylish uncle.
After being "transformed" by the vampire Count Dracula, the lawyer's younger brother refused to donate blood for a long time with the Count and escaped to a monastery. The monastery tries to solve the mystery of Dracula while sheltering him. The Dutch nun Van Helsing indulges in all kinds of dark magic (for defense), with a spirit of discovery and serious gossip.
In the whole play, Sister Van Helsing helped everyone to summarize, and the vampire knowledge points that Count Dracula personally demonstrated, from what everyone knows to the unpopular, including but not limited to:
Vampires are afraid of the sun and crosses, and they will die if they are stabbed by others (you can't stab them yourself); vampires must come uninvited, and must be "invited"; vampires can call for wind and rain, blow out a cloud of mist to block the sun, and control groups Bats, attract flies, and... drive wolves away.
Note that some of these features will be reversed before the finale, so there will be no more spoilers.
Flies have a high rate of appearance in this play, where they appear means there is a breath of death, and they are "companions after death". The title also specially designed a shot to give the fly swatter the temperament of Marvel Ant-Man.
Driving the wolf is a very interesting thing to watch. Count Dracula can put on a wolf's skin, pretend to be a wolf, and can also drive the wolves. The scene is brutal and a little bloody. It is not suitable for timid friends. It can be considered as Vampire print skin. This style of watching a vampire story comes with a short werewolf scene. It can be said that it is very beneficial to buy one, get one free. In fact, there have been versions with similar scenes before, but later the mainstream style still allows the two species of vampire and werewolf to coexist. Love and kill each other.
This Dracula is relatively good in terms of blood volume and horror. If you just look at the screenshots of the expressions, you may think that this is a horror movie.
The story takes place in 1897, so it has a very charming retro gothic temperament. Dracula is adapted from a novel. If you don’t know anything about the plot of the novel, you may mistakenly think that this is the story of Dracula’s die-hard lawyer. After all, the title “bride” is also used.
Actually not, the real CPs are Dracula and Van Helsing, the lawyer brother is the reason why they met... and the lawyer brother's fiancee also went to the monastery and tried to save him with love for a time.
Dracula once revealed to his lawyer brother that his next goal is to travel across the ocean to the UK, in order to eat...
The second episode is called "Blood Ship", Dracula successfully boarded the ship bound for the British canteen, he had a full meal on the ship, and Van Helsing tried to end the battle on the ship to defend the British talent.
The style of this episode is suspenseful and interspersed with various small humors, and it talks in detail how the choice of "ingredients" will affect Dracula. He will master each other's memory and talents through the digestion of "ingredients". As a vampire standing at the top of the food chain, he is very demanding about eating.
The entanglement between Dracula and Van Helsing is also related to eating. For vampires, interesting souls always have to be eaten to live and die.
This episode is very suitable to be picked out and watched alone, and there is some artistic conception of murder in a secret room, but the main character's line is not "the murderer is among us" but "you look delicious".
Friends who like Secret No. 9 can also find a magical point of view. This episode was filmed around the door of Room No. 9 for a long time. It is really possible to develop a special episode of Dracula × Secret No. 9.
The story entered modern Britain at the end of episode 2. Count Dracula, who had been sleeping at the bottom of the sea for more than 100 years, woke up with his hair up and finally landed successfully in the UK.
He was still greeted by a woman surnamed Fan Haixin, the N-generation descendant of Sister Fan Haixin, who looked like a hair, and was going to arrest him for scientific research...
The third episode "Dark Compass" has a very controversial reputation, and the overall scene in modern Britain is a bit broken. Dracula was a vampire who loved science in the 19th century.
In the modern society, I feel like a duck to water, I have my own lawyer, and I enjoy the convenience of the Internet and customized services.
Such a vampire uncle suddenly transformed into an "ordinary girl", which makes people a little unclear. In fact, it was once suspected that Dracula was looking at the girl's ex-boyfriend, that is, through the girl to get closer. In the end, Sister Van Helsing passed through her own younger generation, and talked with Dracula about the philosophical question of life and death... It ended very harmoniously. It's up to you to see what kind of harmony it is.
This episode is very distinctive in the use of colors. There are all kinds of neon colors that are blinding. The friends who like it regard it as a favorite, and those who dislike it will complain about what the hell is this...
Although the overall look of the third episode is a little delayed, Uncle Dracula and Sister Van Helsing are still well-shaped. The vampire Uncle Dracula is graceful and evil, with an occasional awkward but polite smirk.
Sister Fan Haixin has a huge brain, loves to explore and is a bit talkative, and it is quite emotional to fall in love with each other.
The main creative team of this version of Dracula is the Shenxia team, so the rotten aspect is also very prominent. There are many boys with good looks. Of course, they are all food or almost food...
Adjusting the overall expectations, it is still very suitable for friends who like dark and heavy tastes.
Welcome to pay attention to the 57-line self-media bandit drama, a certain bandit will accompany you to ridicule and complain (￣(Work)￣)
