i know this be the classic version of dracula . i know it be make decade ago . i be well aware i be gon na be accurse of blasphemy for this . i know people be easy to scare then . oh well and might as well get on with it . the bela lugosi version of dracula be so inaccurate to the book that i actually have trouble follow the story . the francis ford coppola version be much close to the book . book while first few chapter be about johnathan harker travel to and stay in transylvania . renfield already in madhouse by start of movie . movie while harker never leave england and renfield go instead . book while madness seem to fluctuate . sometimes he seem normal and sometimes he even a philosopher and but once he bite dr. stewart arm and screaming and blood be the life . blood be the life . but most of the time and either eat life thing or catch fly and spider and bird so that he can fee them to each other and later eat them . movie while you do not see him act sane much . ( in an odd way and although it never happen in the book and the scene in the mel brook version with stewart and renfield in the garden give a much good example of renield frequent fluctuation between sanity and insanity . ) book while dracula be describe a an old man with werewolf like feature and glow red eye and a mustache and and get young a he drink blood . movie while not even close . and and although fang be allude to and you never see them . book while dracula only ever converse directly with harker . ( although he also yell something at van helsing ) prey on lucy only when asleep and or or sleepwalk . main character spend most of their time hunt down dracula and lucy . movie while dracula meet and converse with main character at opera and later at lucy house . ( in fact and this seem to mostly be all that happen in the movie . ) book while if you have see any version of dracula you will be well aware of the scene with harker and dracula three bride . as well a a child in a sack . ( note to matrix fan while watch bram stoker dracula again and you may find it interest that neo and persephone have meet ) movie while this happen to renfield and but nothing interesting happens . book while dracula arrival in england be very similar to eddie murphy arrival in new yourk in a vampire in brooklyn while a ship with a dead crew crash land on the beach and with a cargo full of box full of clay and and a wolf jump out . movie while doesn not seem to happen . and only seem to assume the form of a bat . book while main character chase dracula all the way back to transylvaniamovie while doesn not happen . movie while he use hypnosis on various servant . book while well and why the hell not . he do and possibly and have some power over lucy and she seem to sleepwalk exactly where dracula want her to . other problem with the movie while seem to be all talk and almost no action . never see dracula fang . extremely limited by early censorship armadillo .
