A classic vampire tale based on Bram Stokers "fairy" tale

Rating: 10/10 (5 January 2005)

This movie is a great piece of art, depicting Bram Stokers classic novel about the Transylvania's Count Dracula. The story is able to stir a lot of sensations every time I see it. The human side of the vampire Dracula is romantic and beautiful and Gary Oldman delivers uncompromisingly the best Dracula of our age. My favorite quote "I have crossed oceans of time to find you" is the epitome of romance, the whole base is the movie is this; that love never dies and true love is greater than death! It could be argued that the original old German black & white casting Dracula perhaps is better ;) The beauty and strength of this movie is within the characters and their well-developed characters, who along with the whole atmosphere and the emotional tone of this movie really caries each person and are depicted with a depth beyond most films. I would recommend this movie to every child, woman and man who loves the mysteries of a good fairy tale. Yea and of topic I might add to every hardcore fan should dig into their local library and read about the real Vlad of the order Dracul(dragon) who did'nt drank blood, but impaled whole villages in his courtyard!
Enjoy! Kind regards Jonas
