Elegant and charming vampire

The film deliberately omitted many storylines that should have been clearly explained to the audience, such as why Earl Dracula left Trafania and came to far away London, and how Earl Dracula sucked blood and made the vampires enslaved by him. of. I think this does not fit the viewing habits of modern movie audiences, but objectively it adds to the mystery of the film.
There is no doubt about the religious nature of the film. Not to mention the plot that Count Dracula was afraid of seeing the cross. The impressive lines in the film are almost full of religious connotations. (Dr. Van Helsing: The greatest success of the devil comes from the fact that humans do not believe in his existence. Dr. Van Helsing: If your soul dies with innocent blood, you will die in pain. Renfield: God will not punish a weak Because of the power of the devil...)
The greatest success of the film lies in its excellent creation of a breathtaking atmosphere of "gothic horror". Of course, the great actor Bela Lugosi should remember this point. The elegant and charming image of a vampire he interprets is unprecedented, and I believe there will be no newcomer.

Dracula quotes

  • Lucy Weston: [doing an impression of Dracula] It reminds me of the broken battlements of my own castle in Transylvania.

    [chuckles]

    Mina Seward: Oh, Lucy, you're so romantic!

    Lucy Weston: Laugh all you like. I think he's fascinating.

    Mina Seward: Oh, I suppose he's all right. But give me someone a little more normal.

    Lucy Weston: Like John?

    Mina Seward: Yes, dear, like John.

    Lucy Weston: [dreamily] Castle... Dracula... Transylvania!

    Mina Seward: Well, Countess! I'll leave you to your count and his ruined abbey!

    [both giggle]

    Mina Seward: Good night, Lucy.

    Lucy Weston: Good night, dear.

  • Renfield: He came and stood below my window in the moonlight. And he promised me things, not in words, but by doing them.

    Van Helsing: Doing them?

    Renfield: By making them happen. A red mist spread over the lawn, coming on like a flame of fire! And then he parted it, and I could see that there were thousands of rats, with their eyes blazing red, like his, only smaller. Then he held up his hand, and they all stopped, and I thought he seemed to be saying: "Rats! Rats! Rats! Thousands! Millions of them! All red blood! All these will I give you! If you will obey me!"

    Van Helsing: What did he want you to do?

    Renfield: That which has already been done!
