The Best Love Story Ever Written

Rating: 10/10 (26 August 2004)

Oh to be Mina, and have proof that there really exists true love that transcends eternity, soulmates, fate, a mental and emotional connection so powerful as to be physical. Longing and aching are far superior to the vast soul-emptiness and heart-blankness of giving up hope that such things are real.
Dracula (Gary Oldman) is so stunning in his anguish and passion that I ached for him. I wanted Jonathan (Keanu Reeves) to disappear forever so Mina/Elisabeta (Winona Ryder) could remain with her first love.
I found the cinematography hauntingly beautiful, and while I have seen this movie over a hundred times, I cannot remember whether there is much of a soundtrack. This is because every one of the actor's voices is so captivating. I can still hear Dracula breathe "Elisabeta...."
