Journal Entry 1 by pheonix01 from Ozark, Alabama USA on Thursday, April 10, 2003
While very similar to Bram Stoker's novel, Dracula, this film adaptation takes many diversions. The first point of departure is justified by taking into account the history of Vlad Dracul, the "real" person that the Dracula character is based on. An interesting diversion that changes the entire nature of the story. This one's a little more touchy feely, and the relationship between Mina and Dracula is one of passion, obsession, and delusion...almost love.
The format also changes. Stoker wrote Dracula as a collection of loose papers...journal entries, newspaper clippings, telegrams, and letters. Saberhagen's version is straight up dialogue and limited universal point of view.
As Hart recommends, read Stoker's Dracula if you haven't, and enjoy this as a companion.
