Frankenstein

this is literally so beautiful and gut wrenching and such an amazing adaptation from the book. there were so many lines that just spoke to my soul just like the book did the first time i read it but now for completely different reasons. i loved the book as an analogy for the harmfulness of the industrial revolution vs the romantic era, and the movie is also topical in that area considering the rise of ai. however, i also loved how much more emphasis was placed on tumultuous parent/child relationships in the movie. the abuse from victor was much more explicit and the ending felt very similar to reaching adulthood and watching an unstable parent become more mature and levelheaded when you no longer need them too/when it’s too late. overall it just hit so deep in my core and guillermo del toro never disappoints.  “I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot satisfy the one, I will indulge the other.”
