Bram Stoker's Dracula actually is very faithful to the original novel -- until it gets sidetracked by all the "I have crossed oceans of time!" love-conquers-all stuff that has nothing to do with what Stoker wrote about. The Dracula of the early scenes of the movie -- creepily foreign, sexually ambiguous, the living embodiment of the Other -- that's the Dracula of Stoker's book. And then Coppola sort of tames him by transforming him into the typical Tortured Romantic Hero.
Hi how are you? I was looking through your blog and I was inspired and impressed with your posts and writing.
I have a blog here in Southern California at San Diego and I try to look for new friends who will visit and comment.
I think you may appreciate my different labels and music videos that I use for my posts.
I also install my art, as it is my High Art blog, however, I have an international audience and you could really meet some of the neatest people through my blog.
