Frankenstein

DEVASTATING. "We can be monsters together." Not the best movie of the year, but the best movie of the decade. It's a film about death, yet nothing ever felt so alive! "Frankenstein" is one of the best literary pieces in history, and finally we were graced with a movie that reached its impact and glory. Thank you Guilhermo Del Toro for delivering this masterpiece, thank you Oscar Issac and Mia Goth for bringing to life our characters, and a special thanks to Nate fucking Jacob's for incarnating brilliantly one of the most feared and loved monsters in fiction. With breathtaking melancholic visuals, extremely powerful and emotional performances and a meticulously executed direction, this movie adaptation of the 19 century novel, is probably going to have its place in the next Oscar ceremony. And I hope this movie wins some awards, because if it doesn't IM GOING NUCLEAR. "In seeking life, I created death." - Victor Frankenstein Besides the great cast and the dark, fantastic and tragic aesthetics, elements familiar with Del Toro's cinematography, the film also delivers one of the greatest scripts in cinema history, something its origin book should be credited for, but the movie, nevertheless, adapted for screen in a wonderful way. Del Toro's "Frankenstein" is, in my humble opinion, the most beautifully quotable movie in the last few decades. The dialogues are not only great adapted but they match the film's melancholic imagery perfectly. The main theme of the novel, death and live, are reproduced through the contrasting atmosphere and the powerful and intimate manner the dialogues were delivered by the amazing actors. "I cannot die. And I cannot live alone." - The Creature As director Ishiro Honda's phrase about monsters: "Monsters are tragic beings; they are born too tall, too strong, too heavy, they are not evil by choice. That is their tragedy."
