Dracula and the Crime of Loving Too Much

Описание: This isn’t a review of Dracula (2025).
It’s a philosophy essay about why we keep rewriting Dracula at all.

Over more than a century, Dracula has transformed from a symbol of disease and invasion into something else entirely — a figure defined by memory, love, and defiance against authority.

In this video, I explore:
• Why modern Dracula stories reject the original monster
• How reincarnation reshapes the myth
• Why love becomes an act of rebellion
• What’s lost when authority replaces meaning
• And what these changes say about us

This philosophy cut draws on multiple versions of Dracula — from Nosferatu to Coppola to modern reinterpretations — to examine how myths evolve alongside culture.

This is a spoiler-inclusive discussion focused on ideas, not plot mechanics.
