* Historical Accuracy: The film takes liberties with the historical figure of Judah Maccabee. While he is known for his military leadership and Jewish resistance against Greek rule in the 2nd century BCE, the film's portrayal of him as a vampire who cursed Dracula is completely fictional and has no basis in historical fact.
* Literary Interpretation: Bram Stoker's original novel "Dracula" doesn't mention Judah Maccabee or any connection between him and the vampire. The film's story is entirely an invention for the purpose of the movie.
* Thematic Relevance: The film uses the mythical connection between Judah and Dracula as a metaphor for a conflict between faith and darkness. The question is whether the film uses this metaphor effectively or if it feels too forced and unnecessary.
Conclusion:
* "Dracula 2000" isn't historically accurate regarding Judah.
* It's not based on the original novel's storyline.
* The Judah storyline exists for thematic purposes and is up to individual interpretation whether it succeeds or not.
Ultimately, whether the film is "correct" about Judah is a matter of opinion. The movie takes creative license with history and literature, which is common in fictional adaptations.
