There is one really huge difference. Ellen is a virgin in 1922, and in 2024 she is not. Eggers's Orlok is not lured out of hiding by maidenhood. Very interesting. What did he mean by this
I haven't seen the film, but I'll take a stab at it: Virginity is not considered sacred today as it would have been in 1922 and therefore defiling a virgin has no evil quality, so there's no point in putting this into the story.
I thought it was good…
I liked it, would probably give it a 7-8/10 myself
i havent watched the movie yet
(also: Eggers report)
I saw the movie today. It was so slow...Nosferatu looked like a freak who would be shown at a travelling circus of the 19th century.
