Hey guys!
Last weekend, I had the pleasure to
watch "Dracula Untold" in the cinemas and I must say, that I really
loved the movie! Before I watched the movie, I was really excited to watch it
because the trailer looks really good! But after awhile, people started posting
up reviews saying how Dracula wasn't as good a movie as they expected it to be.
However,the movie really got me entranced from the start. I really loved how
they started the movie like all tales, with a narrator. This particular narrator
and the accompanying images sent chills down my spine and my anticipation for
the movie to progress grew.
*There will be
spoilers for Dracula Untold here!
Now here comes the part where they
introduce the main character, Vlad Tepes, who is played by actor Luke Evans. I
was really impressed by how he pulled out the "Warrior" look. Those
lines on his face that speak of wisdom, hardened by the warfare he was thrown
into when he was a mere child. A body that speaks of a thousand hardships, and
a man. Though hardened by warfare this prince, Vlad, showed that even an
unfeeling warrior such as he was capable of love. He had a family - A beautiful
wife Mirena (Played by Sarah Gadon) and an adorable son Ingeras (Played by Art
Parkinson).
The love in the family was evident
as the bond between them are strong. This movie focuses on family and the
lengths our parents will go just for our children. It also shows how shitty
humans are. I'm not even kidding. Yea, I know we humans are a shitty race but
this movie really shows how we really are: Monsters. I really loved the quotes
in the movie but my favorite would be from Vlad "Men do not fear swords.
They fear Monsters" and another by Master Vampire "There is a price
for power" . You have to agree that both statements are really true. Who
fears swords nowadays? Some even welcome them as they may be tired of living.
But monsters, we fear.
I'm not going to continue this as
if I do, I'm pretty sure I'd end up telling you all the entire story of
Dracula! I urge you to watch this film, and also, do not simply look at the
action. Look deeper into the plot.
This isn't counted as a blogpost!
I'll be updating every Saturday so do stay tuned!
Love,
Meredith
