Frankenstein

What is being human, if not loving and wanting to be loved? “… what is pain, if not evidence of intelligence?” That’s the most beautiful screenplay I’ve ever seen; camera’s catching just the right angle, the colours, movements, lighting… it’s just brilliant. Watching this movie, I couldn’t help but feel like it was just… too direct (“You are the monster”), there wasn’t much space for interpretation or thinking. Everyone agrees that he’s as human as us, he thinks, he feels, he moves and he forgives. The only thing that differs the Creature from the Creator is that one will always be hunted for what he is.  GDT did a great job showing the human nature, questioning what differ us from a man-made creature, and I think that, now, more than ever, is time to have these discussions.  But it bugs me a bit how he treats the violence. It seems to me that’s kind of overlooked. A being introduced to the world with no context, discovering everything for the first time, is met almost immediately with cruelty—not just from his creator, but from others too. That doesn’t feel like a small detail, nor something to be portrayed almost like Tarantino would. Another thing that I can’t really understand is, why would you make the relationship between the Creature and Mia Goth so important, when you don’t even develop it… Why are the only two women in this movie portrayed almost like divinity and not a single personality of their own?? Give them SOMETHING I may have focused too much on critiques, other than praises; but I did really enjoy this movie. Big fan of GDT game and Elordi’s performance.
