Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)

20181129:
I'm not sure what I thought about this movie by the time it ended. I guess I wasn't a fan of the overall story but it did have its moments.

Dracula (Gary Oldman)

Netflix determined the movie for me as a 97% match. I decided to give the movie neither a thumbs up nor a thumbs down.

Instant Comments:
Impalement.
Hmm. Tragic. Though this would be an example why one shouldn't commit suicide.
Is that John C. Reilly? [No.]
Keanu Reeves!

Mina Murray (Winona Ryder)

Is that Keira Knightley? [No, it's Winona Ryder. I suppose they have a similar facial bone structures, at least at some angles.][Apparently - says Google search - a third similar face to these two celebrities is Natalie Portman]
His shadow moves independently of him
"They say you're a man of good... taste."
Dracula slides across the floor. Not making a noise.
How did she melt his cross? Is she more powerful than Dracula in this regard?

Professor Abraham Van Helsing (Anthony Hopkins)

My goodness. A painful, yet erotic experience.
They have no reflection.
Is that Cary Elwes? [Yes]
Dr. Jack Seward says he has called Van Helsing.
Oh. She's been bitten.

Dracula takes on a more human form and approaches Mina in the daylight.

He says "Nosferatu." That has to do with the teeth? [The etymology seems unclear: Nosferatu (word) (Wikipedia.org)]
"An autopsy? [...]" "No, no, not exactly. I just want to cut off her head and take out her heart."
How did Van Helsing go about finding the three brides of Dracula?
