Feeling of being in a lecture hall taking copious notes for the final exam
Alice Nelson, DVD Verdict --Since its first publication in 1897, Abraham 'Bram' Stoker's Dracula has never been out of print in the English language, but didn't reach its lofty status as one of the best selling books of all-time, until the motion picture industry took an interest and made countless movies about the Vampire from Transylvania. Many people, myself included, believed Vlad was the inspiration for Stoker's gothic novel, but the only things the two had in common were a penchant for bloodshed and the name Dracula. Dracula: The Vampire and The Voivode, takes a close look at the origins of Stoker's life and the events that influenced his most famous work. With the aid of the author's own notes and a half dozen experts on his life and the life of Vlad Tepes, the film attempts to separate fact from fiction, hoping to finally put an end to the Vlad/Drac controversy.
Despite the interesting and sometimes anecdotal stories told by MacIntyre, I had to fight to stay awake...
