Robert Eggers is back : Nosferatu

[David_TheMan]

Sohh i decided to Start watching the original nosferatu.
After once again.
That got damn murdoch fsmily. Has enticed me to flirt with the dark side and reload tubi on my tv.

Sohh in this flirtation. To again delve back into.
the misappropriation heavy handed based world of the murdoch's, formerly of fox.

Where once again they will monetize and misappropriate the black community in a cop and blow fashion. Evdient by all the public access straight to bootleg style hood movies.
they service as an outlet.

I started searching the site. For the older Dracula. Or nineties Keanu socalled trash version. That i believe I have on vhs possibly. If I remember right. I just never watched it. Since people always said it was huff. Plus I never saw the original. To have a point of reference. So once I saw nosferatu, the original was on tubi.
I said...let's go back.
all the way back. Way back. Back into time...



To give me a leg up. So I could understand. Just what the fukk was going on in this vampire movie. Especially this new nosferatu movie. As one,... I never saw the Keanu flop versions from the nineties. Or any other remake version made after the original. As this new version lacks such clarity.
Where the new version gets lost in Eggers night time slash meets misty scenes. When his other movies brilliantly navigated, what could have been a lack of clarity. When those films had a thin small line. between being clear. To just a severe lack of clarity.

Where i have to say. It was getting too late. Before i turned it off. So that spooky shyt not running while i was sleep.
All I have to say. Is that the little I started with. Is vastly superior to what i could gather from this new Eggers version. The older version everything is superior. Especially given how old the material is. The score is top tier all time great. That was the first thing. That caught me as having this wow factor. The next thing that caught me about the older version. Is it maybe a silent movie. Yet, in that...the og sets up with superiority.
a story. The other film with new technology.
just can not seem to match. As well as the simplicity of story. As well as illustrating incredible clarity.
in a silent movie.


From what I have seen. If I was a Hollywood exec. I would never have green lit this remake. As it is obvious. It is kinda. A Pipe dream to think you could remake this film.

From what I saw. They need to make a new vampire.
As I do not believe. From what I saw. That Hollywood is capable of remaking this at all.

Like I only made it to the point. Where they establish just what happens to kick this off. Yet in that. The older version establishes everything the new one lacks clarity in getting across on film. With hordes of tech. Incomparison to a movie.

from before the slaves were free I believe. Hollywood needs to just leave this film alone.
As this new version is like some young kid went in the attic. Then found their older relatives heman and gi Joe. Then tries to act like. they know wtf .
those older attic based toys are.


Hollywood needs to leave this alone. From what I saw of the original. I doubt Hollywood could recreate this film. That is how good I found the og to be. For the short time I watched it last night before bed.

Oh and the score to the original.

Is cold as hell.
Like overly dope.

Highly recommended.

I may have to own.
some copy of this score on vinyl just because.
As the score is that dope.

I would ignore the Coppola 90s Dracula all together.
You have now seen Nosferatu the origianl. I would suggest watching Bella Lugosi's Dracula and the Christopher Lee Hammer Films Dracula from 58

Really liked it. Eggers has to be one of the best modern directors. I do however feel that his movies are perhaps a bit too theatrical and this makes it difficult to really get attached to the characters.

I feel like since his horror is focused on living in the madness, that you'd actually go through experiencing such eldritch , it's so intense it really is hard to connect with the characters since they barely have anytime to be themselves since their lives practically end overnight with little warning.

saw it last night. I didn’t think it was boring but I did laugh a few times when I probably wasn’t supposed to. But I do that with all these Dracula adaptations. Like when Thomas was on that ledge and fell in that water. The way that scene was shot and my wife saying ,”damn that nikka gone already” had me almost busting out laughing. I laughed more at the one with Keanu Reeves though. Like how yall got Dracula boohooing over some letters. Anyways I thought it was good, I was entertained and it was beautifully shot. But I did feel like the end was kinda rushed

Better then I thought but isn’t sayin much , the visuals hit , story line was Kool but def dragged in parts

Also thought the endin was predictable but was Kool with it

I don’t know if it was all the patron I drank before , but I didn’t feel any horror , or get much a vibe from much of the movie ( with the respect to the visuals , which are very well done )

, as far as a horror stand point went ,it didn’t do much

it was well pieces together

The visuals def hit , and he is good at that and there was a few memorable moments

Still happy I saw it on the big screen

but i don’t actually know how I’d rate it it’s not something i would be racing to watch again and it was better then long legs

So there’s that

I guess it if u base it on it being quality visuals , decent story line , good actin job

But nothin ground breakin

It’s a W

first time seeing an eggers film. looked up the cast afterwards and had to think about who skaarsgard was for a moment. Dude is an incredible "creature" actor. I don't think I've seen him play a normal human character before at least that I can remember but in this and IT he is a standout

just felt really bad for everyone. her friend was a real ride or die who never abandoned or gave up on her and it got her entire family killed. Even the husband who made some bad decisions is very sympathetic. loaned his friend money prior to events of the film, took in his wife while he was on a trip, kept her and spent money to try to find the husband and sought out medical care for her, and he never even liked her.

This movie was ass

 

[re'up]

Mixed

what I liked:

The imagery

The gore

The ride to the castle

the set design

scenes on the Demeter, but I thought that could have been more tense and visually scary, given the setting

the directors sense of color

the lighting, the black and white

the oil painting like feel of some of the shots, very gorgeous and eerie, the contrast of light and color

Everyone's acting

what didn't work:

-Too many dream sequences

-the pacing and editing, it sagged in too many parts

-Orlock was way way over the top, as far as acting/accent/first impression. I always think that takes out all the tension. Every adaptation gets this wrong to me. It should be slowly turning up the tension, this was just a freakish monster from the first second.

-Some of the sexual material had some heat to it, mostly from Depp, but too much and too often, just slowed the momentum

-it's so distant from the audience, it's hard to connect with any character or any story line

-The directing had no tension, gothic dread, but no tension

-too technical and too removed from the audience

You absolutely have to watch The Witch; mans came right out the gate with an instant classic

Spoiler

What Nosferatu’s problem was that he overstepped his boundaries as a side nikka. If he would’ve stayed his ass in the shadows like he was supposed to, the outcome wouldn’t have gone the way it did, but noooooo buddy had to take shawty on a mustache ride smh

Spoiler

Who am I kidding, I would’ve died in it too

 

[born of fire]

Was gonna watch this wit shawty 2morrow nite

I better hit the cinema which serves alcahol (if it’s as borin as sum of y’all are sayin ) not gonna sit thru another trash movie like long legs and be sober while I’m @ it
