Is the Dracula movie with Keanu Reeves and Winona Rider really accurate to Bram !


Question: Because I really don't remember Stoker mentioning the love affair between Dracula and Mina in his novel, although I was only 14 when I originally read it and am 23 now, so I guess I could have just forgotten it.
Is that really in the book though? Or did the movie just make it up?
I had always thought that Mina was just an unwilling victim.
Thanks!

...having myself read author Bram Stoker's original novel several times over the years, it was apparent that director Francis Ford Coppola did INDEED take several liberties with the story, especially when emphasizing on the supposed 'love connection' between Mina and Dracula; the origin of how Dracula succumbed to vampirism was never explored in the book, and the ending of the book itself, was totally reimagined as well, for Dracula was NOT destroyed at the inner threshold of his castle, and not at the hands of Mina....

....a really lavish and brilliant film, nonetheless, although not totally faithful to the novel...

always wanted to see this movie ...
never have.

Not really. lt is so different from the original story.

Yes, the story is pretty accurate. It's as close to accuracy as the very original, "Nosferatu," (which is why Gary Oldman's Dracula looks similar to that fashion). It's been a while since I've read the book myself, but considering Francis Ford Coppola, he likes to stay true to the source.

It's more accurate that most Dracula films, but still not 100%. You are right, there was less passion between Mina and Dracula in the book. Coppola kind of played it up for the big screen.
