Frankenstein

*“Only monsters play god…” *- This is one of the best movies I’ve ever seen- I might be biased because I love Frankenstein so much but it’s so good. - Del Toro made a few changes to the story (William is an adult, not a child. Elizabeth is William’s fiance, not Victor’s wife, sister, or cousin.. No Henry or Christine. They changed Victor’s backstory. etc.) but the movie was so moving and beautiful that I was completely ok with it. - Yall gotta stfu about Jacob Elordi being overrated. He’s one of the best actors of this generation, I can smell an oscar in his hands for this performance. It’s so moving and emotional, very similar to De Niro’s performance in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (my fav, I suggest this version to EVERYONE). His dedication to this character has me in awe… I was nearly brought to tears. - Del Toro’s creativity and vision is so beautiful. I just know he made sure every detail was perfect and exactly the way he wanted. I watched Crimson Peak for the first time this year and I just KNEW he would do this story justice. - Next- The Creature’s design OH THE CREATURES DESIGN- The only depiction that I feel is accurate to Mary Shelley’s description. I also LOVED the change they made to his character. The fact that he heals at a supernatural speed and literally can’t die- Jesus CHRIST it adds so much to the story. - Elizabeth being the only person to really see The Creature is so touching, I loved that part of the story. Though I do think she needed more screen time. - Last thing which is the thing I always mention is the SFX- Holy SHIT- it was amazing. Actually seeing Victor take apart and put back together the bodies was amazing and so realistic, my jaw was on the floor. - I highly suggest seeing this on the big screen but if you can’t, PLEASE watch it on netflix for me.
