Frankenstein

I LOVED this movie. I felt maternal for The Creature the whole time, and literally sobbed at the ending. I adored the color scheme: Victor and his mother with Red, Elizabeth with green/ yellow, and the Creature with black.  I adored Elordi as the creator. This is the first time I have ever seen him in anything (managed to dodge Kissing Booth✊😔). “Adam” was such a captivating character that I literally shot upright and locked in when it was time for his story. I think the way “Adam” looks in the film is so… wholesome? Other Frankenstein Films focus too much on the “hideous-ness” or the “creature-ness” of The Creature. This film is the first time (that I have watched) and felt the “holy shit that’s a man in this shitty situation.”  Also this is my first del Toro film and let me say.. I’m a huge fan! I desperately need a Phantom of the Opera AND a Jekyll and Hyde right now. I think he would absolutely NAIL it. Also seeing Charles Dance was SO FUN, he looks so natural in a long cape >:)
