Description

But Beyonce plays this sexy Vampira type with exclusive powers, who sends for a real estate agent, Harker (a black man), an attractive man married to Mina, this white woman. What if Beyonce played Dracula? How groundbreaking would that be for a black woman to flip the script on a Eurocentric white male characterization? Taking Bram Stoker's book made women seem like they had no personality, only that of marriage, worry and stress. But having Beyonce play this sexy Vampira type with exclusive powers, who sends for a real estate agent, Harker (a black man) an attractive man married to Mina this white woman. He meets with Beyonce, specifically at her home in Louisiana from New York, where he is driving by Reinfield, an older woman who is Beyonce's slave as she is working with her in hopes of turning back time on her youth. When he gets there, he is immediately drawn to this sexual figure in a black velvet and lace gown. Her waist is snatched, amd she has this raspy voice, he almost forgets he is married. From then on, Harker is fighting for his life and his marriage, as Countess Carter finds out he is married and starts tormenting Mina in her sleep until she drives her mad, to where she ends up dead. Harker's Mother, Van Helsing, cannot understand what led ordinary Mina to such insanity overnight. This sassy Upper Eastside socialite lady, Mina, does such a thing..... Let's see how it plays out
