All say thanks to Robert Egers for making Christmas on the movies that is much more fun for the strange. The film director behind the "Lighthouse" and "Northman" cast a shadow during the 2024 holiday with his cold re -imagining the classic vampire film by Nosferatu, the very illegal adaptation of Bram Stoker's novel "Dracula". It was a huge hit with audiences and critics, too, traction into an amazing treasurer to sweeten the forbidden agreement. Really one of the reasons why there were so many intrigues about the film was the mystery behind her central villain.

Lanky Bloodsucker known as Count Orlok previously played Max Shrek in 1922 ("Nospherekatu: Symphony of Horror"), Klaus Kinski - though as Count Dracula - in 1979 ("Nosphereatu Vampire") and Willem Dafo in 2000 ("Vampire Shadow"). Every performance brought something new to the table, but the unity between them all presented the vampire as a high -claw -like manicure and almost bald head. However, Marketing for Egers' Nosferatu wisely prevented people from seeing what the Bill Scarsgard Count would look like, completely before leaving for the movie for himself ... and a boy was surprised.

When Scarsgard's count came for the first time, the audience was astonished when he saw that there was a large mustache that covered a good portion of his face. There was a positive response to this element, but at the same time, there were a large number of viewers who had a negative reaction. In an interview with EmpireEgers responds to the reaction by making it clear that it really doesn't mind because his number of Orlock would always look this way:

"I think it is a hard pill for some people to swallow him; but I also don't care, because there is no way this man would not have a mustache; I love the way Max Shrek looks like (in the original of Murnau), and that is a change. So, fair play, as people say."

Eggers' "nosferatu" is a strong example To the director who makes creative choices that serve their vision instead of caring about the expectations of the audience. I could never imagine a bush mustache on the kiss of Orlock, but I was pleasantly surprised by the change. It is an attractive effect on the part of Egers; The first time you get a good look at it, forbidden that a second jump at the top of the film is when Thomas Hater (Nicholas Hultt) eats orlock in his Transylvania castle. The published vampire is illuminated by the fireplace, so at first you can set aside certain details. I remember thinking, "Oh my God, does he actually have a mustache?" It helped me watch the movie in a whole new light while watching it.

It is safe to assume that some audiences were not satisfied with the changes that did not comply with the image they built in the head. Makes sense, however, for The new type of vampire on the Ers screen took place in Nosferatu. Instead of emulating the type of orlox in the form of a rat, the threat of Scarsgard's night is more similar to a walking carcass, which prevailed as a physical manifestation of plague (be it a disease that spreads through Wisborg or psychosexual, it has over deer).

The look of Scarsgard Orlock's counting is a welcome subversion. Egers largely predicts Gothic aesthetics of "Nosferatu" as a tribute to Murnau's film, but he still inserts it with his own identity. The fact that there is even something that grows on that person is out of it in the best way, as if counting that counting is masking to make it appear more human than it is actually.

The prolonged cut of Nosferatu is currently moving peacock.
