Frankenstein

the more i rewatch this movie the more i fall in love with it again and again. i feel so lucky to experience the birth of this masterpiece because this is for sure one of those movies i will tell my kids about it. « My place was never in this world. I sought and longed for something I could not quite name. But in you, I found it. To be lost and to be found, that is the lifespan of Love. » Maybe i am biased because i love her so so much but casting Mia Goth as Elizabeth was such a wonderful choice in my opinion. I loved every single scene with her in it. Elizabeth and the creature are so dear to me i could write a book about them. The scene where he gives her the leaf is breathtaking, so unnaturally pure and yet so human. « I am obscene to you. But to myself, I simply am. » Jacob Elordi’s portrayal of the Creature made me forget there was an actual actor with layers of make-up on. It all felt so magical and his acting is mesmerizing. Those little sounds he made in the basements of the tower, the curiosity of discovering the world around him and his genuine reactions because everything was just new to him. And the eyes????? they carried everything that needed to be carried. He is a newborn but in the eyes you just see it: that sparkle, that sadness, that Soul. There’s a scene where William asks Viktor “of all the body parts you assembled, which one holds his Soul?” and that’s exactly what i mean. Those eyes could tell stories. It’s just beautiful. (and i can’t wait to see Jacob receiving that oscar)
