Not knowing very much about Audrey Hepburn, this film isn't a good place to start finding out. That feeling stuck during the entire film. And mind you, not because of Jennifer Love Hewitt. I think the film is badly written. Picking moments of Hepburns life and taping them together is not going to create a good story. Hewitt makes the best of it though. I understand she is a fan of Hepburns work, and I congratualate her on a job well done. Her hard work is showing, and it makes the film worth watching. And who can resist that smile. Great performance by Emmy Rossum, who plays Hepburn when she was 12 to 16 years of age. Just too bad that the film is boring story-wise and that the cinematography isn't helping either. And didn't the Hepburn story get much more interesting in her final stages of her life? Her work for UNICEF, her sickness?
I'm a fan of Japanese culture. That's why I like this film. It's an action movie, but it takes it's time to show a lot of Japanese culture. Those scenes add much to the overall story. It's an integral part of the story. And that's why I like to recommend this film. It's not afraid to take it slow and focus on the story, it makes the action much more fun to watch.
Finally, I bought Dracula on video. I remember looking on the cover of the video, saying restored version and new musical score by Philip Glass on the cover. But I was so crazed by my find that I didn't stop to think if that was the video I wanted. If I buy a video, it must be as original as the movie.
A very important part of the Universal pictures in the '30, is the music. The music is very much a character in those movies. The music adds a special mood. The new score by Philip Glass didn't add that feeling. It was irritating. For instance, when Renfield visits Count Dracula in Transsylvania. These scenes are very important because they introduce us to Dracula. When Dracula and Renfield have conversation, I had trouble concentrating because of the ridicilous score! The score wasn't a character to the film, as the original was.
