Artistic and Romantic

Rating: 7/10 (14 April 2020)

Probably the most artistic and romantic version of Dracula you will ever see. If there were ever a Dracula movie to make you feel pity or sorrow for Count Dracula, then this would be it. Dracula, after all, was a man driven by love--a deep fathomless love that caused him to renounce the Church and live eternally in order to avenge the loss of his love.
I guess we can all take a lesson on true love from Dracula? I don't know. I think it went past love and entered the boundaries of worship. He worshipped his lost wife and had a chance to worship her again when a woman named Mina (Winona Ryder) appeared in the likeness of his dead wife 400 years later. The only problem is that Mina was to be betrothed to Jonathan (Keanu Reeves). But that should be no problem for a Count... right?
