Diary Entry forDracula
"you think God will forgive us for loving each other so much?" "God is love. He understands. And if he doesn't, he can go to hell." Eu fiquei bem chocada ao terminar o filme e ir olhar as reviews, pois me deparei com muitas pessoas reclamando dessa versão, mas tipo, reclamando muito mesmo. Bem, eu sinceramente gostei muito. Achei interessante que, diferente de outras histórias de vampiro ou versões de Drácula, aqui não temos o foco em caçador vs. vampiro. O verdadeiro centro da narrativa é o amor e a busca de Vlad por Elizabeta. Apesar das semelhanças com Nosferatu, há uma diferença marcante: a "mocinha" não teme o amor do vampiro; na verdade, em sua presença, ela se recorda da vida que eles compartilharam um dia, é lindo. É fascinante ver essa realidade sob uma perspectiva diferente. O filme também acerta muito no visual: os figurinos, os cenários, a ambientação histórica bem construída e a fotografia gótica são impecáveis. As performances dos todos aqui também é maravilhosa, especialmente a de Caleb Landry, que foi encantador como drácula e que mesmo com o filme bom, foi um pouco desperdiçado no roteiro. Por outro lado, a história tem alguns furos de roteiro que me deixaram agoniada enquanto assistia, tipo, coisas tão bobas . Ainda assim, nada disso foi suficiente para me fazer desgostar da obra. Pelo contrário: eu amei. Amo um romance gótico. E, é uma narrativa profundamente romântica, trágica e, ao mesmo tempo, simplesmente linda. :] "She is my salvation." "But you are her damnation."

Dracula
Wouldn't say I liked the movie per se, or liked it as a movie, though some segments were very funny and clever in an extremely profane way. I liked it because I was enthralled and repulsed by the way it uses AI to make fun of, yes, AI, but more than that, the regurgitative quality of much cultural products. Because slop existed much longer before AI did. Slop and lazy cultural vomit-like stuff is not a product of AI or the AI mentality, but a characteristic of a much deeper problem that has existed probably since people have created culture. The last few years just shoved in our faces a tendency for slop that has always existed. On one level, Jude chose to make his statement by creating 16 Draculas (or kinda Dracula-likes, because some segments have no Dracula whatsoever), pointing at and abusing one of the most overused and cliched stories in the past century. Even last year, how many Draculas and Nosferatus and Dracuferatu-likes came out? And how many will come this year? (A digression, but after Jude's, we don't need any more, I think. No Pennysferatu hotboys or Lily Sparrowhands.) But I think what’s more interesting, this uber-maximalist guerrilla super-extravaganza is about bubbles, about when your existence and identity and future is tied to a single thing and you say to yourself you can never change that ever. Like it is with Vlad Tepes and Romania, or AI and most of the contemporary world. We lie to ourselves that we are so intertwined with these things, while in reality we and many around us have exist under their control. That is why they are also fascistic. When you can't escape a single defining narrative or are forced to keep performing the same identity over and over, when the story that defines you comes from outside and you have no power to change it, that's not just annoying. It's a kind of control. Jude shows this very well through profanity, but also through subtle political satire. The generative AI in the data centers that destroy the world can’t do anything but ugly regurgitated stuff in the most stupid way possible. Romania keeps being Dracula country no matter what else it might be. Fascism works the same way, forcing everything into a single story, a single identity, eliminating the possibility of being anything else.That is why some of the segments based on Romanian cultural products don't have to be even about Dracula to be about him or in a movie titled Dracula. If it is Romanian, it is Dracula-related. What's even more depressing is when others, usually imperial powers, have both defined you and also claimed the thing they have defined you by. England took a historical figure, Vlad Tepes, turned him into a Gothic monster for their own Victorian anxieties, and now Dracula belongs to them. America inherited that ownership, turned him into everything that makes money. Romania just has to play along. Dracula castle tours, vampire-themed hotels, country branding built on a British novel's monster. You monetize your own humiliation because what else can you do? First, you get told who you are by someone more powerful. Then they take that invented identity and profit from it. They make the movies, write the books, or program the games that people remember, while the country becomes a theme park for someone else's franchise. It can only perform the role it's been assigned. Maybe that is why the movie ends with the "hidden" messages "fuck Dracula", "fuck vampires", "fuck fascists".
