The greatness of Castlevania Logan Schmidt Although not over, The Netflix animated series Castlevania is a diamond in the rough which has earned its 92% Rotten Tomatoes and 8.2/10 on IMB. The Animation, which is done by Powerhouse Animation, does a great job making the characters and the environment look clean along with movement of the characters. For example, Trevor’s morningstar whip which he gets from the burned down Belmont home. Castlevania stays along with the orginal video game series by setting up a plot with the main characters trying to kill Dracula. The show does a great job at expanding the universe and giving characters depth. Each character has their own unique personality that spans to even some secondary characters as well. Two of Dracula's henchmen, Isaac and Hector, get their own sort of journey in season 3 and it looks to continue in season 4. Isaac is smart and dedicated to Dracula's cause to the end of humanity because he believes humanity is a stain on earth. Hector is not as smart and can be easily persuaded by others. In season 3 both of these traits lead them to different consequences. The plot throughout the seasons flows extremely well and you get to see Dracula and his motive, which is to kill humanity and the main characters like Trevor is who is the last of the Belmonts, a monster/vampire hunting family, and Sypha Belnades who is a magician and alucard who is the son of Dracula. The quality of seasons 1-3 have all been great and hopes are season 4 is similar as well. This show I would recommend highly and rate it 9.5/10..

01:510:255:90 DRACULA — FACTS & FICTIONS Winter Session 2018 Professor Stephen W. Reinert
01:510:255:90 DRACULA — FACTS & FICTIONS Winter Session 2018 Professor Stephen W. Reinert (History) COURSE FORMAT The course content and assessment components (discussion forums, examinations) are fully delivered online. COURSE OVERVIEW & GOALS Everyone's heard of “Dracula” and knows who he was (or is!), right? Well ... While it's true that “Dracula” — aka “Vlad III Dracula” and “Vlad the Impaler” — are household words throughout the planet, surprisingly few have any detailed comprehension of his life and times, or comprehend how and why this particular historical figure came to be the most celebrated vampire in history. Throughout this class we'll track those themes, and our guiding aims will be to understand: (1) “what exactly happened” in the course of Dracula's life, and three reigns as prince (voivode) of Wallachia (1448; 1456-62; 1476); (2) how serious historians can (and sometimes cannot!) uncover and interpret the life and career of “The Impaler” on the basis of surviving narratives, documents, pictures, and monuments; (3) how and why contemporaries of Vlad Dracula launched a project of vilifying his character and deeds, in the early decades of the printed book; (4) to what extent Vlad Dracula was known and remembered from the late 15th century down to the 1890s, when Bram Stoker was writing his famous novel ultimately entitled Dracula; (5) how, and with what sources, Stoker constructed his version of Dracula, and why this image became and remains the standard popular notion of Dracula throughout the world; and (6) how Dracula evolved as an icon of 20th century popular culture, particularly in the media of film and the novel.

Despite its gothic trappings and origin in sensationalist fiction, Bram Stoker's Dracula, written in 1897, is a novel that looks forward. At the turn of the nineteenth century, Britons found themselves in a world of new possibilities and new perils –in a society rapidly advancing through imperialist explorations and scientific discoveries while attempting to cling to traditional institutions, men and woman struggled to make sense of the new cultural order. The genre of invasion literature, speaking to the fear of Victorian society becoming tainted by the influence of some creeping foreign Other, proliferated at the turn of the century, and Stoker's threatening depictions of the Transylvanian Count Dracula resonated with his readers. Stoker’s text has continued to resonate with readers, as further social and scientific developments in our modern world allow more and more opportunities to read allegories into the text.

Bram Stoker's Dracula
Danièle André, Coppola’s Luminous Shadows: Bram Stoker’s Dracula Film Journal / 5 / Screening the Supernatural / 2019 / pp. 62-74 Coppola’s Luminous Shadows: Bram Stoker’s Dracula Danièle André University of La Rochelle, France Dracula, that master of masks, can be read as the counterpart to the Victorian society that judges people by appearances. They both belong to the realm of shadows in so far as what they show is but deception, a shadow that seems to be the reality but that is in fact cast on a wall, a modern version of Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. Dracula rules over the world of representation, be it one of images or tales; he can only live if people believe in him and if light is not thrown on the illusion he has created. Victorian society is trickier: it is the kingdom of light, for it is the time when electric light was invented, a technological era in which appearances are not circumscribed by darkness but are masters of the day. It is precisely when the light is on that shadows can be cast and illusions can appear. Dracula’s ability to change appearances and play with artificiality (electric light and moving images) enhances the illusions created by his contemporaries in the late 19th Century. Through the supernatural atmosphere of his 1992 film Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Francis Ford Coppola thus underlines the deep links between cinema and a society dominated by both science and illusion. And because cinema is both a diegetic and extra-diegetic actor, the 62 Danièle André, Coppola’s Luminous Shadows: Bram Stoker’s Dracula Film Journal / 5 / Screening the Supernatural / 2019 / pp.

[email protected] [my preferred method] 812-335-9868 (home) This syllabus is available in alternative formats upon request. Overview The vampire is one of the most popular and enduring images in the world, giving rise to hundreds of monster movies around the globe every year, not to mention novels, short stories, plays, TV shows, and commercial merchandise. Yet the Western vampire image that we know from the film, television, and literature of today is very different from its eastern European progenitor. Nina Auerbach has said that "every age creates the vampire that it needs." In this course we will explore the eastern European origins of the vampire, similar entities in other cultures that predate them, and how the vampire in its look, nature, vulnerabilities, and threat has changed over the centuries. This approach will provide us with the means to learn about the geography, village and urban cultures, traditional social structure, and religions of eastern Europe; the nature and manifestations of Evil and the concept of Limited Good; physical, temporal, and societal boundaries and ritual passage that accompany them; and major historical and intellectual periods (the settlement of Europe, the Age of Reason, Romanticism, Neo-classicism, the Enlightenment, the Victorian era, up to today).

Movies & Languages 2013-2014 Hotel Transylvania About the movie (subtitled version) DIRECTOR Genndy Tartakovsky YEAR / COUNTRY 2012 U.S.A GENRE Comedy, Animation ACTORS Adam Sandler, Andy Samberg, Steve Buscemi, Selena Gomez PLOT The Hotel Transylvania is Dracula's lavish five-stake resort he built for his beloved wife Martha and their daughter Mavis. Monsters and their families are invited to Mavis's 118th birthday party where they can live it up, free from meddling with the human world. But here's a little known fact about Dracula: he is not only the Prince of Darkness; he is also a dad. Over-protective of his teenage daughter, Mavis, Dracula fabricates tales of elaborate dangers to dissuade her adventurous spirit. As a haven for Mavis, he opens the Hotel Transylvania, where his daughter and some of the world's most famous monsters – Frankenstein and his bride, the Mummy, the Invisible Man, a family of werewolves, gremlins and more – can kick back in safety and peace. For Drac, catering to all of these legendary monsters is no problem but his world could come crashing down when one ordinary guy discovers the hotel and takes a shine to Mavis. LANGUAGE Simple English spoken in Eastern European, American and French accents GRAMMAR INDEPENDENT ELEMENTS/INTERJECTIONS Introductory - Oh! ah! alas! Ha ha, ha! hollo! hurrah! pshaw! etc. express sudden bursts of feeling. As they have no grammatical relation to any other word in the sentence, we say that they are independent. Words belonging to other parts of speech become interjections when used as mere exclamations: What! are you going? Well! you surprise me Other words besides interjections may be used independently: Come on boys Well, we will try it Now, that is strange Why, this looks right There is reason in this Boys simply arrests the attention of the persons addressed.
