Most romantic story ever

Rating: 10/10 (19 July 2009)

Even though many people tend to say that romeo and Juliette is the most romantic story ever told, I strongly disagree. I belief that Bram Stokers Dracula deserves that title. Where Romeo and Juliet let their love die with them, Count Vlad Dracula lets his love transcend death and defy god (whome obviously means almost everything to him). Time, space, death nothing has an impact on his love for his wife. It's there, everlasting, and there is nothing he won't do to be with her. You can only imagine what it must be like to love somebody like that. Or to be loved like that. Dracula is in my opinion not a story about vampires, it's not a horror story. It's a story about love, the vampires are just a means to an end. And this movie really nails that. Gary Oldman is without a doubt the best Dracula that I have ever encountered on screen. He really made the part his own. At times I felt I could actually see the pain over his loss in his eyes. I loved it from the beginning until the end.
