In that first shot of Lucy where she wakes up screaming, you really notice not only the deathly-pale skin, but that dark straight hair, the blood-red mouth and those hands--between the long fingers and the long nails, they really do look like claws. She resembles nothing so much as a harpy. In this respect, I think you're wrong about what you see as the violation aspect of the um, sucking off scene--the image that comes to mind for me is not violation, but some kind of maternal interraction: It resembles nothing so much as a child suckling at its mother's breast. This is not violation, because Lucy has deliberately chosen to allow it to take place. Nosferatu is really at her mercy. The fact that he needs her blood gives her tremendous power. And of course, he does die at her hands for this reason, even if she dies with him. Fascinating stuff. For this reason I probably prefer Herzog's version to the original.<BR/><BR/>--LianaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1162349915675235172006-10-31T21:58:00.000-05:002006-10-31T21:58:00.000-05:00i've noticed when you reedit a post that a lot of ...i've noticed when you reedit a post that a lot of time your server won't realize it when you come back to it.<BR/><BR/>for any repeat visitors please "refresh" your page.<BR/><BR/>the blog-a-thon ended with 53 participants (54 if you count moi) and if you want a more manageable way to look at the posts click <A HREF="http://filmexperience.blogspot.com/2006/10/happy-halloween-may-i-sleep-now.html" REL="nofollow">by film and subject matter</A>)NATHANIEL Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597109147678235399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1162335291962463252006-10-31T17:54:00.000-05:002006-10-31T17:54:00.000-05:00anonymous --i've heard this about Langella but it'...anonymous --i've heard this about Langella but it's hard to imagine, knowing him primarily from Broadway and that stinky Madonna flick in 1993<BR/><BR/>david --funny. talent <I>does</I> win out over beauty if you're talking all eternity ;)NATHANIEL Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597109147678235399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1162334028517070012006-10-31T17:33:00.000-05:002006-10-31T17:33:00.000-05:00Oldman might well have a weak chin, but Mina didn'...Oldman might well have a weak chin, but Mina didn't have much of a choice in Coppola's film.
