Dracula is a character that everyone know, curiously, even many know
who was its author: Bram Stoker.
What is not funny is that this is thanks to the cinema and the magnificent adaptation of 1992
of Coppola that included the name of the writer in the title * Dracula, by Bram Stoker *,
movie that I will analyze soon.
However a tiny percentage will have read the novel, as is usual, neither
I will say the opposite.
This work is special because it happens something very strange: "the cinematographic character
it's better than the literary. "
To be able to understand this risky affirmation we have to deal with many issues beforehand,
I'm going to dedicate a series of videos in the which I will talk about both the character and
of his legacy and adaptations ... Even from certain vampires that shine in the sun that
they became very famous and, even if it costs you to believe it, I will explain why they are not as bad as you think.
First we must have a global vision for be able to be aware of the true impact
that it got.
It was published in 1897 and the idea of a human become a monster who was a great lord
with great riches and could walk between we were something new.
It is also remarkable the fact that it was a Count, remember that before was not conceived
that a "great lord" was a delinquent and even less a vulgar murderer; That always
it was said that he was from the lower classes, a "lord" I could not commit such baseness.
But not only for presenting a novel monster this work became famous, in addition the novel
is masterfully narrated and the narrative in the form of diaries gives you an agility that,
Even to this day, it would fit perfectly.
Before, it was very common to find endless dialogues that seemed monologues chained.
Flamboyant phrases and that for dozens of pages did not make progress in
the plot.
Something that made it impossible not to empathize with some character but a current reader
many times it will be lost and you will not know where he goes, he will not even know they're
talking or who is doing it.
An example that I like to use about this is: "The Count of Monte Cristo", with a
magnificent history and endless dialogues.
As soon as we open the book and start read the way you have to introduce us in
this world is worthy of study; with the use of the newspaper achieves an impossible proximity
to get otherwise.
The narration of the trip, the interaction with the locals, anecdotes about recipes
of food, traditions and folklore make that we put ourselves in the skin of the protagonist
from the first pages.
Through these descriptions they create an environment of constant danger that manages to overwhelm us.
But we do not see any danger, however, we know that something against which we can not
doing nothing controls us.
Also through the use of newspapers we have two realities, ours that we left pointed
in our personal diary, which immediately we identify with the unfortunate protagonist
and what we are telling our fiancee, so as not to frighten her and to strengthen us
more the certainty that we have of the danger and the imminent death of the protagonist.
Seeing the two realities does nothing but help us get into paper, feel
the power and danger that Dracula and the claustrophobia of a huge castle by the
that we can move freely, but which is impossible for us to escape.
This introduction is crucial, in it we discover that Dracula is more than a human though
We do not know what it can be.
Little by little we are collecting data and scenes rocambolescas; like a day that we see as
a village girl arrives desperate crying castle asking her to return her baby.
To that we add the memories of what we told the villagers, the fear they had
to the Count everyone with whom we have crossed, especially the villager that in an inn
with tears in his eyes he gave us his crucifix to protect us from the evil that we were throwing ourselves at.
They have been brushstrokes given with calm those that they have finished drawing a magnificent picture
of terror in our minds.
During our stay in the castle, living together with him, let's look at details for
try to decipher its mystery.
We realize that we never see it during the day, that the castle is uninhabited, when
We eat with us but do not eat anything, enter our room while we shave
we did not see his reflection in our little mirror and the next day we could not find
no mirror ...
These are details that are stuck in us and little by little they generate a tension that
it forces us to continue reading to know that happens.
To this day many can disdain this, but remember that the novel has more than
a hundred years, can you imagine the impression that Should it have caused at that time?
Especially because we immediately say * well, another vampire *, but at that time
nobody knew these beings, it was this novel the one that created this myth.
No matter how hard we try, it is impossible imagine the commotion that this would cause
novel in a person who has never met the myth of the vampire.
When we dare to follow it to discover his secret only serves to make our
fears
We see how he goes out his window walking like a lizard on the castle facade,
we realize its excessive strength, the power that shows to have on the wolves; do not
we are still aware of the kind of monster that has us at his mercy.
And when we meet the three women and see as they devour a small child delivered by
the Count makes us finally lose our heads in the face of such cruelty and power.
But if this were not enough, through conversations with the Count that last all night we see
also a great intelligence, sagacity for business and a brilliant strategy.
Ensures that nobody can know all the possessions you have, the homes that
purchase, the logistics that you create so that It is known what it sends and who receives it.
They make it clear that he is not just a person with superhuman powers but even worse, with great
powers and an intelligence at par.
However when he moves to London Dracula disappears, becomes an omnipresent shadow
that lurks but nobody can see.
The used way of telling the story with multiple protagonists is, simply,
great.
Special mention must be made to the intern of the psychiatric hospital through which we can
see the influence that Dracula has on a human, how do you want to have that power and
is willing to do anything to accept us as his disciples and
we can have a mere fraction of said power.
The diaries and correspondence of the two young people, the escape from the castle of the Count
Dracula of which, until that moment, we considered the protagonist, the disappearances of children
that the newspapers show us ... They are small fragments that build a whole world
around us, a world of terror like had not been seen to date.
This is the second third of the novel, where we also know the main character,
the nemesis that can defeat Dracula which is none other than Professor Abraham Van
Helsing.
An old professor who is the only one capable to see Dracula's signals in all the
strange acts and diseases that surround you: a scholar, scholar, teacher ...
It's many things but not that jumping warrior of little time that show us the latest
film deliveries and series, of which I will talk now, be sure of it.
Also the way to connect all the characters It is also worth mentioning because in the end,
in a tangled web all the characters they are related in one way or another.
This part, the knot of the plot, hooks us even more than the presentation where we met
to the Count.
The shadow of Dracula present in all acts is much more shocking than finding it
head on.
Thanks to the professor, we know your points weak and their powers at the same time we understand
the magnitude of what we are facing.
It shows us, in practical cases, how sacred objects hurt him and this does
little by little with masterfully created scenes for this purpose; especially important
is the cemetery scene with the first girl that Dracula turns into one of
his women in London.
To protect young women who are victims from the bites of Dracula puts them bouquets
of garlic in windows and place crucifixes.
And when one of them becomes a being at night we see the effective way to hunt them
to be able to give them eternal rest releasing his body of that demonic possession and that
your soul can rest in peace.
Dracula becomes fog to move without being discovered, it can also be transformed
in animals like a bat and control them as he does with a huge zoo wolf
or control thousands of rats to both defend their territories like to attack.
All the folklore that we know about this character is taken from this novel: What do you need?
rest on the ground where he was buried, its power to hypnotize and control minds
of people, mastery over animals, become fog and other animals like that
as their weaknesses for sacred objects.
Fragments of all this has been used in the innumerable versions that have gone
coming out, but they've always wanted to empower some and forget about others to give it a touch
unique ... And this is understandable because the Character has many shortcomings.
The last third of the novel, the persecution of Dracula so to speak is not the worst
of the novel.
It's superfluous, it's soporific ... It's El Conde of Monte Cristo with endless dialogues,
paragraphs of several pages that do not provide nothing and a feeling of * for god that this
finish now * that make you want to close the book and forget about him.
How is this possible?
Because the character is too good, not just too good but perfect.
We have a Count with great riches, capable to control the minds of people, immortal,
with a force over human, it can become in fog or bat that we know in addition
to be able to control animals to defend it, How can noses be mere mortals
kill him?
In this last part you are trying to find weaknesses ... He's a villain so his
mind is selfish, childish and will make mistakes how?
If at the beginning of the novel he praised his intelligence and strategic genius, now
Is it childish and capricious?
They manage to sanctify all the drawers of land that Dracula brought to London except
one, which used to flee by ship again towards his Castle in Transylvania.
There we see that he is even able to control the weather to make the ship arrive before
of time to your destination and do not have any mishap because of some storm.
His power is even greater than we thought In the first moment.
Obviously, they can not be directly confronted to Dracula, any combat would be something
ridiculous, so after a few hundred pages that are eternal can defeat
to the gypsies who were in charge of moving the coffin to his castle and just before that
The sun is hidden, they manage to destroy it.
It is a terrible outcome, an overloaded narrative that does not contribute anything and an end that we all imagined
for the villain ...
But it could not be otherwise; it could have shortened, make a few dialogues
heavy, its biggest fault is trying to lengthen too much the outcome to give it greater
dramatics.
But there can not be another end because a mere human being, even a dozen or a hundred
of them could never present battle before a monster so masterfully created.
It is what is usually known as * death by success *, has been so good at creating the villain
that now it is impossible to defeat him a credible way
On the cinematographic level, of the old ones, I think the one that represents more faithfully
this is the one of 1931.
Although of course, at the interpretive level, Pretty much to be desired because so much fear,
like mental control, suspense ... they represent it opening their eyes as much as they can without
they get out of their sockets.
But the environment and the atmosphere do what better than they can; if I mention this version
it's because it includes the madman that Dracula uses to perform his subjugation experiments,
something that the other versions obviate considering it a mere unimportant secondary role and,
In my view, it is fundamental to the plot.
This is the introduction, a little review to the novel, its development strengths
and loose.
In future videos we will go deeper into some key aspects and analyzing some movie
or series that you consider not already good, but important for contributing something special.
