'i release you'
does anyone have any theories why dracula says at the end, "i release you". at at one point he is trying to kill her and then he decides to save her. is it because he loves her? any feed back would be great:)
shareWell he wasn't trying to kill her.........He knew that she wasthe only thing in this world tied to him on an actual blood level. She not only has his blood, but his DNA. So she was like a daughter, but it wasn't viewed that way, cuz they're not relted. She was his equal. A true companion for him. She had dreams of him, thoughts of him her whole life. He probably felt her too. So once she became a vampire, he knew he had her, but her heart wasn't ready to let go of humanity. So remember, she tried to kill him, SO THAT WOULD PISS A GUY OFF ya chik trying to off you. But he realized when the sun was coming up, he knew he was a goner, but he realized that shouldn't be HER fate to burn in the sunrise either.............. I'm tired. lol
Wake up loving everybody. By the time you`re sleep, you`ll know who to hate.
Did yall think that maybe when he looked up while he was hanging that he was non-vocally asking for forgiveness?
shareyeah that too.......

Yes, which is why he was allowed to die.
shareBut he was brought back in the second.

It would have been cooler if Mary stayed a vampire cause it would be a little unsettling for Simon.
shareWell every piece of myth behind drac and vamps says that when the elder dies his spawn die, this soon became the idea that they would become normal after the elder's death. So it could be that drac didn't want to take mary with him in death.
It could be because she showed him how he could end his suffering.
Besides he made her what she was and he was where it all started and the strongest, why couldn't he just give her back her normal life?
Well that's only true if the master (elder) was destroyed before his get (victim) finally turned. If the get was still a living human and the elder was destroyed, the victim would be cured of the virus (curse, if you like).
"I am bound to this earth. I make it my domain".
Dracula
Because, He was the first vampire. All other vampires lead up back to him at least in the movie. You want to get technical Kane and Abel but that something way differnt. These arnt Blade vampires in where the curse is actually a blood disease, they are vampires of paranormal explanation. The kinds that fly turn to bats hate crosses and all that good stuff the only kind of vampires thier should be. He was abel to give the power of everlasting life and take it away.
In the first ending he wasnt abel to die at least that is what the ending hints at when they take the coffin back to Carfax containg the reamins(in order to make awesome sequals) Yet, not the ones they actually did make. Those just take a totally screwed up direction.
the vampires in blade may be based on a virus but the virus is still supernatural because it was created by the vampire god( a demonic entity)
the pure blood elders had demonic souls(that resembled bats) and vampires have powers in the blade comics
hse_bldr = "But he was brought back in the second."
wot u mean he was brought back did they make a second film i dunno bout??if they did wotz it clled n is it any gd??
The ability to quote is a serviceable substitute for wit!!
!!Cogito Ergo Sum!!
There are two more called Dracula 2: Ascension and Dracula 3:Legacy

Its not like she was evil or anything.
Wasn't there another one called Dracula 3000? Or is that what you mean by Dracula 2?
shareYeah, I haven't seen the second or the third. Was going to, but as soon as I found out that it would be a different actor playing Dracula, I decided against it. Nothing bothers me more than "same character, different actor". Especially since Gerry was so amazing in the first one.
shareThe movie explains why there is a different actor.
shareI just watched it again. It seemed to me that he was looking up at the cross in defiance. Which explains his eyes looking down on Mary at the end. He'll be back (in my best Arnold voice).
shareDid yall think that maybe when he looked up while he was hanging that he was non-vocally asking for forgiveness?
I just saw it again on TNT and it seemed to me that the smirk he gets on his face after he releases Mary and looks up at the cross is more of a look of defiance.
And when Mary fell, it looked to me that he let go rather than that she slipped. Maybe he wanted her to fall and survive so that when he took away her immortality she could see what she gave up by betraying him.
Edit: Apparently, I'm in favor of the defiance theory. Just noticed I already mentioned it before. Sucks getting old and forgetful.
back to the begining of the thread.... ok the second one said sumthing bout she was like a daughter, but there was totally sexual stuff between them so....well thats just wrong

I think what she meant was, Mary and Dracula shared the same "genetic disorder" which allowed them to communicate on a level that went beyond the norm.
It wasn't just a psychic connection but the ability to morph into different into something as simple as mist. It's a mutation that only two people on earth possessed and I think she got screwed the day she was born. And although it isn't her fault that she was born with a genetic malfunction, I also don't think her abilities could've been halted once they were activated. So, in my long-wided way, I don't think Dracula is like a father to Mary. Mary had a father and the big-bad wolf torn his head off. No. I think what was going on between them was a bit more intimate than that.
I totally agree; it seems Dracula came to some sort of an epiphany. It was an intense scene: life was nothing without the companion he'd been searching for, and his love for Mary (her unwilling nature as well...) forced him to make the ultimate sacrifice. He loved her so much that he couldn't let her burn to death. In that realization he accepted CHRIST'S sacrifice and found the correlation, thus he repented and was granted relief from this life. It's quite simple really. But man, Gerry is such a beautiful, beautiful man.
shareNicky done. (Applause)
