Nosferatu

This film contains some of the most impressive scenes that I have ever seen. However, in between those scenes are interminable stretches of film. The basic plot is the first 10 pages of Dracula. It also veered off into side stories that didn't seem to fit at all. It is a silent film, so any dialog was present only in writing. Sometimes this was written in the first person narrator style. The problem is that we are never told who the first person narrator is! Another issue that I had w/ the film is that the main female character, who was supposed to be the 'heroine' of the film, was so damned unlikeable. Except for about three seconds in the beginning she was depressed and crazy for the entire film. Also, none of the characters were very reallistic so you couldn't feel sympathy for any of them.
