Hart Año: 1992 País: Estados Unidos Actores: Gary Oldman, Anthony Hopkins, Winona Ryder Premios: Oscar (Mejor vestuario, mejor maquillaje, mejor efectos de sonido) Argumento: En el año 1890, el joven abogado Jonathan Harker viaja a un castillo perdido a Transilvania, en el este de Europa, siendo allí capturado por el conde Drácula, que viajará hasta Londres inspirado por una fotografía de la prometida de Harker, Mina. Ya en Inglaterra, el conde iniciará su intento de conquista y reinado de seducción y terror, absorbiendo la vida de la mejor amiga de Mina, Lucy. Datos de interés: Drácula (más conocida como Drácula, de Bram Stoker) es una película estadounidense de los géneros de terror y romance, rodada en 1992 por el director Francis Ford Coppola y escrita por James V. Hart, basándose en la novela Drácula, original de Bram Stoker.Fue producida por Columbia Pictures. El reparto cuenta con Gary Oldman, (interpretando el papel del conde Drácula), Keanu Reeves, Anthony Hopkins y Winona Ryder. La banda sonora fue compuesta por Wojciech Kilar, pero su tema final, Love Song for a Vampire (Canción de amor para un vampiro) fue escrita por Annie Lennox. La película tuvo una buena acogida por el público, y obtuvo 4 nominaciones a los premios de la Academia en 1993, de los que ganó tres: mejor diseño de vestuario, mejor Maquillaje y Mejor edición de sonido. Esta película es una de las múltiples adaptaciones cinematográficas de la novela de Stoker, pero está considerada como su adaptación oficial, ya que es la película más fiel a la novela, además de introducir en ella a personajes que nunca se adaptaron en versiones anteriores como Quincey P. Morris, o Arthur Holmwood. La película cosechó un gran número de espectadores, que harían que su recaudación fuese de 215.862.692 dólares por todo el mundo. Este sería el retorno al éxito del director Francis Ford Coppola, y también su salvación financiera, ya que se encontraba en problemas económicos debido a películas de elevado coste pero escaso beneficio como El Padrino III y Apocalypse Now. ? En la escena dentro del castillo de Drácula en la que Jonathan Harker (Keanu Reeves) se encontraba con las tres vampiresas residentes en el castillo de Drácula, Francis Ford Coppola pretendió que las actrices estuvieran totalmente desnudas, pero la productora se negó, y Coppola tuvo de conformarse con mostrar a las actrices desnudas sólo de pecho para arriba. ? Coppola quiso reunir a los actores en su casa mucho antes del rodaje para que convivieran y tuvieran experiencias juntos. Entre esas experiencias figuraba la lectura conjunta de la novela de Bram Stoker, lo cual les llevó dos días completos, según el propio Anthony Hopkins. Tras dicha lectura, se les pidió a los actores que aportaran ideas para la película, lo cual acabó cambiando por completo el guión original. Según Winona Ryder, que dio a conocer dicho guión al propio Coppola, en principio se trataba de un texto muy filosófico y casi meditativo (narrado en primera persona) y no presentaba para nada la estructura que acabó teniendo al final. Uno de los añadidos principales de Coppola fue el prólogo en el que se relaciona la figura histórica de Vlad Tepes, o Vlad el Empalador, con el personaje creado por Bram Stoker. ? Gary Oldman consiguió bajar una octava su propia voz para darle así un toque más dramático y amenazador a la voz del Drácula anciano. Según él mismo llegó a utilizar una grabación con aullidos de lobo para aportarle ciertos matices a dicha voz. En España, sin embargo, se tuvo que recurrir ados dobladores diferentes para doblar al personaje. ? Oldman recurrió a sus propios recuerdos de cómo hablaba un vecino suyo de la infancia que provenía del este de Europa, para crear el acento rumano del personaje. ? El extraño cochero que recoge a Jonathan Harker para llevarle al castillo de Drácula también fue encarnado por el propio Gary Oldman. La película coincide en ese punto con la novela de Stoker, en donde se insinúa que es el Conde mismo quien conduce su coche de incognito. ? Coppola aprovechó la cercanía del centenario del cine y la casi coincidencia de la publicación de la novela y la invención del cine, para homenajear (véase la secuencia del cinematógrafo) con un tratamiento cercano, salvando las distancias, a lo que hubieran hecho con ese material los maestros del cine mudo y primeros años del sonoro, filmando con una cámara Pathé y su mecanismo de manivela. ? Son muy elocuentes ciertos atuendos y apliques de Drácula, como un kimono rojo de larga cola y una peluca kabuki. En la película, el vestuario diseñado por Eiko Ishioka es el decorado. Una de las tres novias de Drácula está interpretada por Mónica Bellucci y la formidable banda sonora es obra del autor polaco Wojciech Kilar. La película contiene referencias al cine de Pabst, Murnau, Jean Cocteau y Abel Gance, y múltiples efectos visuales de fácil concepción (realizados con rudimentarios instrumentos), pero difícil ejecución: sombras que van a su bola, ilusiones teatrales, marionetas, maquetas pintadas en cristal, paredes que se mueven, escenas marcha atrás y continuos desafíos a las leyes de la Física en la naturaleza de las cosas, con el fin de dotar al relato de una extraordinaria atmósfera irreal; todo ello realizado por el magnífico fotógrafo Michael Ballhaus en colaboración con el hijo de Coppola (Roman Coppola, director de efectos visuales y ayudante de dirección) y Gary Gutiérrez, supervisor de efectos visuales. (Fuente: Filmaffinity, Wikipedia) Libro Título: Drácula Autor: Bram Stoker Idioma: Inglés Año: 1897 País: Irlanda Género: Novela Datos de interés: Drácula (Vlad Draculea) es el protagonista de la novela homónima del irlandés Bram Stoker, de 1897, que dio lugar a una larga lista de versiones de cine, cómics y teatro. Drácula es el más famoso de los «vampiros humanos». Se dice que Stoker fue asesorado por un erudito en temas orientales, el húngaro Hermann (Arminius) Vámbéry, que se reunió algunas veces con el escritor para comentarle las peripecias del verdadero Drácula. Debido a algunas novelas y versiones cinematográficas de Drácula, mucha gente piensa que Stoker basó su personaje en una figura histórica: Vlad Tepes, conocido como Vlad el Empalador, y en leyendas de vampiros que circulaban en Europa oriental. Tepes vivió en el siglo XV y fue príncipe de Valaquia, (que junto con Moldavia y Transilvania constituyó el reino de Rumanía). Bram Stoker encontró una breve referencia al voivoda Drácula en un libro sobre Valaquia y Moldavia, en el que su autor decía en un pie de página: «Drácula, en la lengua nativa de Valaquia, significa 'diablo'». La sonoridad de este nombre le gustó a Stoker, que había llamado originalmente a su vampiro «conde Wampyr». Decidió entonces llamarlo «conde Drácula». Sin embargo, Stoker no conocía nada sobre la vida del verdadero Tepes (de hecho incluso hoy en día se desconocen muchos aspectos de su vida y de su muerte). En realidad, la novela Drácula no tiene relación con la vida de Vlad Tepes. Actualmente se sabe que Bram Stoker se basó en la figura de la condesa húngara Erzsébet Báthory (1560-1614). Según la leyenda bebía y se bañaba en sangre, creyendo que le devolvería la juventud. Publicaba avisos en los que solicitaba doncellas para integrar su corte, a las que luego asesinaba y quitaba la sangre. Cuando fue descubierta, se encontraron en las mazmorras de su castillo decenas de cadáveres de mujeres desangradas. Sin embargo, muchos historiadores coinciden en que esto no era más que invención de sus enemigos para justificar su ejecución y hacerse así con sus posesiones. Todos los ayudantes de la condesa Báthory fueron decapitados. Ella fue condenada a vivir encerrada en su cuarto recibiendo los alimentos por un hueco practicado en la pared, ya que por aquel entonces la pena capital estaba prohibida para la nobleza. Tiempo después fue encontrada muerta por uno de sus carceleros. Stoker conocía los detalles de la superstición y atribuye a Drácula los rasgos peculiares del vampiro, tales como: ? La capacidad de hacer que cambie el tiempo. ? Lograr obediencia de seres repulsivos, como las ratas, moscas, arañas y los murciélagos, pero también de los lobos y los zorros. ? Una fuerza sobrehumana. ? Convertirse en animal o en niebla. ? Perder facultades durante el día. El vampiro huye de la luz diurna, que lo debilita pero no lo destruye: puede moverse a medio día durante un escaso período de tiempo (el conde Drácula, en la novela, aparece a plena luz del día buscando a Mina Harker). ? Dormir sobre tierra, traída de su lugar natal, en el interior de un ataúd. ? Beber sangre humana (su único alimento) y convertir en vampiros a quienes aseste su mordedura fatídica y bautice con su propia sangre haciéndoles beberla. Si únicamente son mordidos, no se transforman en vampiros. ? Se le puede mantener a raya con crucifijos, ristras o flores de ajo, la Sagrada Forma consagrada y agua bendita; pero para que muera realmente, se le ha de clavar una estaca en el corazón o se lo ha de decapitar. ? El Drácula de Stoker tiene todos los elementos de los vampiros que lo precedieron, más algunas características tomadas del hombre lobo, cuya historia había sido publicada poco antes.

Murnau. 1923 - Drakula halála,Károly Lajthay. 1931 - Dracula(Drácula),Tod Browning. 1931 - Drácula, George Melford.

  • The Diurnal Order of the Image in Dracula, by Bram Stoker
    THE DIURNAL ORDER OF THE IMAGE IN DRACULA, BY BRAM STOKER O REGIME DIURNO DA IMAGEM EM DRÁCULA, DE BRAM STOKER Claudio Vescia Zanini1 In reality, the acceptance of the shadow-side of human nature verges on the impossible. Consider for a moment what it means to grant the right of existence to what is unreasonable, senseless, and evil! Yet it is just this that the modern man insists upon. He wants to live with every side of himself – to know what he is. That is why he casts history aside. He wants to break with tradition so that he can experiment with his life and determine what value and meaning things have in themselves, apart from traditional presuppositions. Carl Gustav Jung. Psychology and Religion: West and East ABSTRACT: The article proposes a reading of Bram Stoker’s Dracula analyzing the imagery in the novel in accordance with the Diurnal Order of the Image (DURAND, 1999), a perspective that encompasses images within three antithetical dichotomies: the theriomorphic and diæretic images (respectively related to an animal archetypology and to the devices and weapons of the hero), the nyctomorphic and spectacular images (related to darkness and light) and catamorphic and ascensional images, which are connected to falling and rising. The conclusion highlights the universality in the imagery Stoker employs in his work, which might explain Dracula’s timelessness and power. KEYWORDS: Dracula; Victorian literature; diurnal order of the image; vampire fiction. RESUMO: O artigo propõe uma leitura de Drácula, de Bram Stoker analisando as imagens no romance de acordo com o Regime Diurno da Imagem (DURAND, 1999), uma perspectiva que engloba o imaginário com base em três dicotomias antitéticas: as imagens teriomórficas e diairéticas (respectivamente relacionadas a uma arquetipologia animal e às armas e recursos do herói), as imagens nictomórficas e espetaculares (relacionadas à escuridão e à luz) e as imagens catamórficas e ascensionais, ligadas à queda e à ascensão.

  • CAPÍTULO IV Drácula No Cinema: Cenas De Uma Erótica Prometeica
    CAPÍTULO IV Drácula no cinema: Cenas de uma erótica prometeica Rogério de Almeida1 Marcos N. Beccari2 Variações sobre o mesmo tema ou os filmes de vampiros Uma busca rápida pelo Internet Movie Database (www.imdb.com) com a entrada “Drácula” retorna uma lista de duzentos filmes. O mesmo ocorre com “Vampiro”. São filmes que contém a palavra no título. Se acrescermos os filmes pautados na temática, mas que não trazem “Drácula” ou “Vampiro” no título, a lista se agiganta ainda mais, com películas tão improváveis quanto Martin (1976), Fome de Viver (1983), Procura-se Rapaz Virgem (1985), Os Garotos Perdidos (1987), Um Drink no Inferno (1996), Van Helsing (2004), que mistura Drácula com Frankenstein, Deixa Ela Entrar (2008), Amantes Eternos (2013), e o mais importante de todos, Nosferatu (1922), de F. W. Murnau, refilmado brilhantemente por Werner Herzog em 1979. Há também variações de todo tipo, como A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (2014), anunciado como “o primeiro Western de vampiros iraniano”. O que dizer de Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (2012), que pós-modernamente transforma o 16º presidente dos EUA (1861-1865) num caçador de vampiros? 171 O mito de Drácula CAPÍTULO IV A vasta filmografia sobre o mito do vampirismo também pode ser abordada numa perspectiva histórica e não restará uma só década sem numerosos representantes. O pri- meiro filme do gênero é de 1908, Les vampires de la côte, um curta francês hoje desaparecido sobre o qual restam poucas informações. De 1913, temos The Vampire, também desapare- cido, e Vampire of the Desert, cuja história gira em torno de uma vampira de nome Lispeth.

First Summer Session May 21-June 25, 2018 Topics in English: The Many Lives of Count Dracula 2090-080 Morin 100% Online Bram Stoker created Dracula through the careful storytelling of his various narrators, but one very important voice is missing: Dracula's. This online course will examine what that absence has meant for over a century's worth of Dracula fiction. Beginning with the definitive novel, we will then explore how authors and filmmakers have chosen to interpret this enigmatic and fascinating figure. We will analyze fiction, such as The Dracula Tape, to address how the Count has fared after his battle with Van Helsing. Films, such as Nosferatu, Coppola's dark Bram Stoker's Dracula, Wes Craven's modern Dracula 2000, and the comedic Dracula: Dead and Loving It, will be compared to Bram Stoker's text, with special attention to the filmmaker's vision of Dracula.

  • Consuming Appetites and the Modern Vampire S
    S. Brooke Cameron and Suyin Olguin 79 Consuming Appetites and the Modern Vampire S. Brooke Cameron and Suyin Olguin, Queen's University, Ontario Abstract : This article looks at food and the role of appetitive consumption in modern representations of the vampire. Most critics have read vampire as embodying Victorian fears surrounding fin-de-siècle desire and sexual decadence. We instead want to shift the discussion to food and eating rituals. Using Francis Ford Coppola‘s Bram Stoker‘s Dracula as a bridge text, ―Consuming Appetites and the Modern Vampire‖ compares the British tradition, which advocates disciplined appetites as defense against Dracula‘s demonic invasion, with modern American texts, which celebrate the vampire as a reflection of its own culture of excess consumption. The vampire is marked as Other precisely by his inability to control his appetite, and the disciplined appetite is essential insofar as it differentiates between the human and vampiric Other. It is this legacy of appetitive excess which continues to inform our modern interpretations of the vampire, whether this figure is a direct inheritor of Dracula or a more sympathetic, even domesticated, vampire. Key words: Dracula, Vampire, Blood, Eating, Consumption, Meat, Appetite, Other, British, American Revenant 1.1 (2015) S. Brooke Cameron and Suyin Olguin 80 Come, there is dinner. We must keep one another strong for what is before us. We have a cruel and dreadful task. When you have eaten you shall learn the rest, and I shall answer any questions you ask, if there be anything which you do not understand, though it was apparent to us who were present.
