Walking in the dark, is the king of the dark night
It is also the god of death who reaped human life.
Afraid of the sun, but has a light that is more dazzling than the sun
they are--
vampire
The accumulation of time has become their wisdom and demeanor, and their youthful and plentiful bodies have mesmerizingly beautiful faces.
Just a slight smile can make human beings easily sink and even sacrifice their lives willingly, just to feel their closeness at the moment before they die.
There are countless images of vampires on the screen, whether it is the handsome and affectionate Edward in "Twilight", or the handsome and kind Lester and Louis in "Interview with the Vampire", all of which make countless girls dream.
It's not hard to see that they all have one thing in common - handsome !
However, the earliest image of a vampire was not the pale, handsome and handsome appearance that we know today, but the corpse of the dead who climbed up from the grave and sucked human blood. The appearance was hideous and ugly, without any charm.
Like he-
"Dracula"
Dracula 2020
Dracula is a name and a legend.
Since he was born from the pen of Irish writer Bram Stoker, his story has been adapted countless times, and his image has become a noble and glamorous infatuation.
This BBC version of "Dracula" traces his story back to its origins, telling the Victorian era in 1897 in three episodes. Count Dracula, who originated in Transylvania, was eager to learn a foreign language and blood The story of traveling from Europe to England and fighting the wits of the humans who rebelled against him.
According to the narration of the original story, everything has to start from the British lawyer Jonathan——
In a mysterious monastery, two nuns sit with a terrifyingly eccentric man named Jonathan.
He was old, ugly, and smelled of decay.
From the appearance alone, he looks like a dead person, and even if a fly gets into his eyes, he doesn't respond.
Through the conversation with the kind and wise nun Agatha, a mysterious and terrifying story reappears in front of everyone.
A month ago, Jonathan was a lawyer for a company in the UK, living a stable life and a beautiful and kind fiancee.
However, this security was broken by a case he received.
In order to get the agreement to his employer, Jonathan has to travel to a remote and remote old castle.
This ancient castle is full of strange, closed doors, deep paths, crows all over the sky, and empty halls.
The owner of the castle is Count Dracula.
From the outside, Dracula looks like a slightly bald old man with gray hair.
But there was something weird and weird in his eyes.
Dracula kept expressing his longing for England and ordered Jonathan to stay in the castle to teach him English.
Jonathan began to panic: "I'm a lawyer, I'm not a teacher."
The drunkard's intention is not the wine, and everyone can see that this is just an excuse for Dracula to ask him to stay.
"You don't need to teach, you just stay by my side and I can... absorb you."
Absorb, absorb.
This word is most appropriate to say from the vampire's mouth, because he is too old and must absorb the lifespan of human beings to delay aging.
Jonathan lives in the castle, but strange things keep happening.
At night, strange noises came from outside the window. He opened the window and found that someone had left a distress signal.
Seizing the chance that Dracula would disappear during the day, Jonathan began to search the entire castle, hoping to find out who was trapped.
The huge castle was like a labyrinth prison. He often lost his way and didn't talk about it. He finally found some people, but they were not alive.
Jonathan is awakened by Dracula every day in a coma.
Day by day, he discovered a very terrifying phenomenon. Every day, Dracula was getting younger. In the end, he had become an elegant and noble black-haired gentleman, but he was getting older and his memory was declining. , sluggish, and even the nails are falling off.
Seeing that he was about to be sucked dry by Dracula, Jonathan finally escaped from the castle after all his hardships, and told the story of his experience with nun Agatha in the monastery.
Agatha is not a nun of faith, she questions God and makes fun of faith.
As an avid fan of Dracula, she knows everything about vampires, so when she and Dracula confront each other, she is not at all cowardly.
Dracula chased Jonathan all the way to the monastery.
Agatha was extremely excited, and she instructed the Dean: "Lord Dean, don't invite that monster in."
She and the naked Dracula who had just emerged from the wolf's skin outside the door stood up——
——“The army of believers doesn’t seem to dare to look me in the eyes.”
- "You are naked, and they are nuns, and it is not your eyes that they dare not look."
- "Isn't anyone inviting me in? I've come all the way to see you."
Vampires cannot enter any residence without being invited.
Undaunted, Agatha opened the door to the monastery, and even then Dracula couldn't enter because he wasn't invited.
Why is she so presumptuous? In addition to her knowing the weakness of vampires, there is also her identity - Agatha Van Helsing .
Van Helsing, Dracula's lifelong enemy.
Dracula knew that he couldn't get a bargain with Agatha, and then went to seduce Jonathan.
After Jonathan returned from the castle, he felt more and more wrong. He was desperate for blood, and he almost went crazy and killed his fiancee, Mina.
In order to ensure the safety of his fiancee, Jonathan inserted a stake into his heart, but not only attempted suicide, but was also bewitched by Dracula:
"Suicide is useless. Putting a stake in the heart is right, but someone else must do it. I'm willing to try. Do you want me to do this? Do you want me to really kill you?" ? You just need to... invite me into the house."
Jonathan was so tormented that he couldn't hold on for a minute.
Dracula came in, took his pack of wolves and bats, and started a brutal killing in the monastery.
From this point of view, Dracula is far from the image of vampires in our minds.
His every action is telling the audience: This is a new Dracula.
Both elegant and noble, dirty and bloodthirsty, his whole body reveals the desire for blood and the savage aura of being a "monster".
To put it bluntly, the great thing about the new version of "Dracula" is that it breaks the audience's established impression of vampires, and uses Dracula's brutal behavior to convey to the audience that "vampires are real beasts, fierce and cruel" .
- In his eternity there is only blood and killing.
Maybe that's the charm of the whole story.
