Question: Build a movie plot around this: Who is given to the vampire so the others can survive? Greta
Answer: Bram Stoker's widow has refused to sell the film rights for Draculato F.W. Murnau, so Murnau [John Malkovich] decides to film it anyway, changing the names ofthe characters, the title, and the locations. Thus, Dracula becomesNosferatu, Transylvania and England become Germany, Count Draculabecomes Count Orlock, and Mina becomes Ellen. After filming the beginningsof the movie on a soundstage in Berlin, Murnau is anxious to get cast andcrew to Czechloslovakia where they will be meeting up with Max Schreck [Willem Dafoe],the vampire hired by Murnau to play an actor playing a vampire.Murnau introduces Max Schreck as a character actor from the ReinholdCompany and explains that Schreck will remain in character at all times.Yet no one, not even producer Albin Grau [Udo Kier] knows anything about him. As avampire, Schreck is no Dracula. He is old and bald. He can't remember hishumanity; he knows only that his turning had to do with a woman, whoseface has long ago passed from his memory. He has lost most of his powers,e.g., his strength and his ability to pass through locked doors. He hasn'tseen the light of the sun for centuries. He lives in the filth of anabandoned abbey, keeping himself alive on the blood of the occasional rathe can catch. He thinks the saddest part of Dracula, which he read afterMurnau gave him a copy, is when Dracula was forced cook for Harker becausehe had no servants. He reads and angsts over Goethe's poem about Tithonus,a mortal who wished for immortality but forgot to ask for external youthand is now aged, powerless, and yet must endure...just like himself. Hehas agreed to make this film only because Murnau has promised to providehim with blood during the filming and, at the end of the movie, Murnau haspromised that Schreck can feed on Greta [Catherine McCormack], the actress who is playing EllenHarker.As the filming progresses, Schreck's performance is both inspiringand creepy, inspiring in how he captures the essence of the vampire andcreepy in his own personality...
[Q]: Build a movie plot around this: What does she teach Jean? How to become a gold digger.
****
[A]: Jean (Gad Elmaleh) is a waiter and bartender at a luxury French hotel. He is shy and soft-spoken, and seems out of place among the wealthy and pretentious patrons who surround him. While working the nearly-empty barroom one night, an elderly guest invites him to take a break, smoke a cigar, and have a drink. Jean eventually falls asleep on the barroom sofa.Irene (Audrey Tautou), is a beautiful young woman who has made quite a career of gold-digging. She seduces rich and lonely gentlemen, which results in them footing expensive bills for her clothes, food, and board. Her current beau, the much-older Jacques , is staying in a suite with her at the hotel and promises to take her out on the night of her birthday. However, he drinks too much and falls asleep before he can keep his promise. Irene glumly visits the bar alone and finds no one in it but the sleeping Jean. Noticing his tuxedo (not realizing it is merely his uniform), Irene assumes he is wealthy hotel guest and awakens him. She chats him up casually, revealing it is her birthday, and that she would kill for a cocktail and some music. To cheer her up, Jacques mixes her a champagne cocktail, but does not reveal that he works at the hotel. Several drinks later, Irene asks his room number and he takes her to an empty suite on the fifth floor. They spend the night, and Irene leaves in the morning.A year later, Jean is surprised to see Irene return to the hotel, still with Jacques. In the dining room, Jean spies Jacques giving Irene an engagement ring which she accepts with enthusiasm. She encounters Jean again, remembering him from the year before. They again meet for drinks and end up in bed. Irene wakes in the morning and rushes back to her suite, realizing she had neglected Jacques for the entire evening. He angrily confronts her, as he had seen her kissing Jean in the bar the night before. He breaks the engagement, and Irene is left desperate for financial support. She returns to the suite, relieved that Jean is still there, and flatters Jean by claiming...
