Photobucket


bram stoker's dracula
Francis Ford Coppola,


i was sitting and debating what movie i should write about in is blog.
i do appoligize for my attendence and being gone for sometime.
i have not viewed a keanu movie in about 3 mnths.
last movie i saw was the lake house at that time,but that is not the movie im blogging about.
till recently i was watching Francis Ford Coppola's bram stokers dracula.
for some reason i always forget keanu reeves is in this film.
keanu reeves plays Jonathan Harker which is Mina Murray's fiance,who happens
to be dracula's love intrest.the make up on Gary Oldman never seems to not amaze me.
the movie begins with Dracula desecrates his chapel while renouncing God, declaring that he will rise from the dead to avenge Elisabeta(wife) with all the powers of darkness.
this is how he become dracula;vampire,nasferatu,blood sucker u get the picture.
the film takes place in 1897; Jonathan Harker is a law clerk who takes over as a client for the Transylvanian Count Dracula from Renfield, who has gone insane.
renfield believes dracula to be his master and will give him eternal life.
dracula discovers a picture of Harker's fiancée Mina,dracula becomes amazed to find that she is the reincarnation of his long dead wife.

Dracula leaves Jonathan to be raped and drained of blood by his brides and sails to England with boxes of his soil.
The soil makes him appear as he once was before he renounced god.
Jonathan Harker does escape to reach a convent where he sends word to mina. durning the time of waiting for him
she was seeing dracula. Dracula later claims mina as a bride.
well i will not continue and give all the details of the film.
I must say the film is visually beautiful.
I suggest to give this movie a view.
well till next time!
-much love-
