Dracula Untold

By



This is no cheap and cheesy remake of a classic horror genre. Historical fantasy at its best, Dracula Untold staring Luke Evans alias Bard the Bowman in Peter Jackson's three-part adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit is one of the most exceptional Dracula film's I've ever seen. Though light in special effects,    the special effects it does deliver are spectacularly dark and mind blowingly awesome! As Evans’ bright red cape fluttered wildly in the wind while scaling the craggy cliffs of his heroic damnation, I shouted “wow” that’s  Batman.


Despite its simplicity, Dracula Untold is one of the best well-acted movies I seen this year. Utterly realistic in dialogue, great cinematography and actors capable of portraying their motivations and convictions with movement and attitude; an ability that’s become a rare skill in today's cinema. This film creates a clear understanding of the anti-villain concept. Its portrayal of how good becomes corrupted into classy, well   principled, evil is outrageous. It’s because of his character’s audacity to say "God isn’t coming to save, so we better damn well save ourselves" while displaying honest gut wrenching emotions over the fate of his people and family backed by his desire to save both at expenditure of his own humanity makes us want him to succeed in his dark, yet noble goal – to deliver his people and family from the Turkish empire governed antagonist Dominic Cooper who plays Mehmed. This is all I’m going to say about Dracula Untold; I refuse to give away the entire plot line because I want you to watch it. Hell, buy it! It’s one horror film worth definitely worth having in your digital library.

By The Disfactor
It's important to realize the dates listed. It's through noticing these dates that we begin to realize that this country is not that far removed away from the root of those issues that African Americans still deal with. The 1970's was 48 years ago. Your dad could tell you about it if he was honest rather he was black or white. However; depending on which one he was there might be things he doesn't want to talk about or may not be proud of. It's that recent not that old.

Notes on Adorning “Otherness”

By The Disfactor
Picture: By The Atlantic Disfactor art: By Jabram Allen According to David Shariatmadari off the  Guardian “We think we know what a gay person sounds like. But there   are caveats to the cliche — and ‘voice-shaming’ tells us a lot more about our culture than it does about the person speaking” According to Shariatmadari; “the research says probably not. There’s mountains of evidence to suggest we adapt our speech to more closely resemble that of people we identify with. The particular sounds a group of speakers makes use of are arbitrary. They acquire meaning and recognizability only through association. The fact that these changes are usually unconscious is well documented. But, linguistically speaking, sounding gay is really no different from sounding street, sounding posh or sounding like a bro”. In other words, groups develop, practice and telegraph those actions that set them apart from other groups so that they may be intentionally recognized by those that don’t belong to t
