Frankenstein

i cant even begin to explain how much ive been anticipating for this ever since i heard guillermo del toro was directing it. although i know im watching this pretty late for someone who was basically counting down the days—i just thought that i needed someone to watch this with because im not too fond of horror (i basically just found a perfect time to watch it alone) boy oh boy, the horror i was expecting was a different kind. this is the kind that haunts me to the bone. if you think about this with a deeper intent—arent most of us nowadays being haunted by the thought of going through life without living? to start off, im not that familiar with the deeper backstory about frankenstein, nor am i familiar with the book, so my thoughts are completely based on the movie. but to think that i thought the creature was the villain at first is quite absurd. the creature did not deserved to be treated, at all, how victor treated him when he was first created. however, its not fully victor’s fault, is it? his upbringing was quite sad, especially after his mother had passed. anyway, im just glad they resolved everything in the end. ik some people arent too fond of how the creature immediately forgave victor, but, thing is, i act exactly like how the creature does—no matter how much a person wrongs me, one simple “sorry” or even the simplest kind act from them, immediately fills me with remorse and empathy, making me forgive them in an instant. this is easily a new addition to my all-time favorite movies. im even starting to consider buying the book to read.
