Saw Nosferatu with a pal and it was good. The music, the transitions, the gothic feel mwah i love it. But it got me thinking.
Remember the scene when Nosferatu invites Thomas to fool him into signing his marrige away? Thomas is understandably a nervous wreck at this point - unfocused, distracted, *malleable* - so it should be easy to get him to sign and then get rid of him afterwards.
But instead, he keeps him around for several days, feeding on him of course, but not in the grousome way he will feed later on in the movie. Instead Thomas is free to roam his castle, and converse with the Count.
And yes, while Nosferatu is probably gathering strenght for the journey ahead, intending on killing him before departing, what if..
What i propose is Nosferatu is curious about what Ellen sees in her husband. After all he is the only thing keeping her away from his clutches.
Evidence of this would be: How much time the two spend together at the beginning of the movie without bloodshed.
and well.. the second time Nosferatu fed on Thomas - remember this is the first time we see how Nosferatu feeds, by sinking his teeth into a victims heart. We also see later how mercilessly the Count bleed his victims either by draining them dry, or going for the neck.
BUT unlike those times, this is the one time which is similar in how Ellen finally defeats Nosferatu - by sleeping with the beast. Nosferatu is in full display feeding on Thomas, naked and gangly, only for Thomas to wake up dazed in his bed again. By this logic the event *is* more horrific, but we can chalk it up to Nosferatu wanting *a taste*.
Tumblr kept recommending me like, manifestation and shifting posts and I was confused why. And then I realized they all used the tag "loa" and it's like. Oh no. Tumblr is confused.
