Wouldn’t it make sense for Frankenstein monster to be a work of art?

Absolutely agree with the review, when it finished my first thought was : I hope Guillermo del Toro earned back from revenue the cost of production of this movie, as its really something why cinema was created.

I'm mad I watched this because you suggested it. The only good thing in this movie was the visuals. the acting was horrible, the line delivery was just…anime-like? so fucking unnatural. the movie constantly reminded myself i'm watching a movie. the book was fantastic, and i'm shocked you read the book and yet you like this movie.

I highly recommend Frankenhooker from 1990. It's hilarious and right up your alley.

The creature in the books is described as both beautiful and grotesque at the same time. I think the look they went with was good. But his eyes were not as unsettling as they should have been.

Im not a fan of many movies for different reasons. But this, this was a masterpiece. Ive read the original, and this is honestly how I envision the perfect Frankenstein to be. The story was perfect, sparing use of CG was appreciated, and the acting of the Creature was impeccable. How he didnt win an Oscar for it is beyond me (probably because the Oscar's themselves are flawed lol). This kept me engaged the entire time, which is hard for many movies. The attention to detail was crazy. What got me was when Victor was testing the creatures hand extensor movements to make sure they worked as they should. This movie is easily over a 10/10 for me, a rarity.

I love an adaptation that creates a new feeling for a story so old, in a well-made way. I don't think movies like these should be so focused on accuracy, but more a re-creation for a newer, broader audience. Being a tale as old as time at this point, it's a breath of fresh air to not see the terrible extensions of the universe, and instead focus on a "reanimation" of a titular horror icon.

IIRC the scene with Frankenstein's monster throwing a little girl into lake had the added context of them playing together by picking up things and dropping them into the lake to see if they'd float. It was implied to be an unfortunate misunderstanding.

34:47 : Gun awareness was not a thing because handguns were not common. Handguns were more of "show off" pieces than actually tought of "something I will use & practice using", if thought of at all.
An act of rage and impulse, I guess you could call that "dumb", but I don' think he ever thought of that outcome as a possibility.

35:00 I actually think Victor did mean to shoot Elizabeth. I mean throughout the whole movie he's pissed that she denies his affections and even likes the Creature more than him. The last time they interacted before this she called him out on his bs and slapped him in the face and now she's once again expressing that she favors the Creature over Victor. Obviously I can't concretely say that's what Del Toro had in mind. But to me, this moment makes sense when thinking about it through that lens.

Victor was not a scientist. He was a med student

Answering your question at 0:13 : The novel.
The novel written in 1818 by Mary Shelly.
You? Oh. You already answered that.
Edit: the full title of the novel is "Frankenstein: or the Modern Prometheus". (With varying, strange punctuations in the English titles I looked through just now.)
It already WAS a warning when it came out. That's usually what SF is about.
Remember: In 1818, the thought of bringing life to something that has died was not part of normal life in any way.
Germ theory wasn't even a thing yet.
No anti-biotic's.
This would literally have been science fiction to the people alive back then.
It was part of the curricullum at the University of Oslo's first year of Idea History (History of Ideas? It's an American subject, so I don't really know what the correct term is in English, sorry), which can't be said of any other classic novel now considered horror.
It's a quite exeptional book & story on many levels. Among other things: It was written by a woman!
Now: Everyone just look at eachother. So?
Then: EEEEEEEEEEHHH!!!!

I actually got really emotional at the scene where he’s torturing and beating the monster for only saying Victor. I have an autistic toddler who is still learning to speak and obviously he needs constant attention like the monster too and it does get frustrating, but thinking about anyone treating someone like my son that way just drove me to tears. But it really does happen too often for disabled individuals.

I may be wrong, but isn’t Elizabeth his adopted cousin in the books? I’ve not read the 1831 version, only the 1818 version.

These timeline discrepancies you chose (i.e., rolled cigarettes, dynamite) made me chuckle as it’s literally a fictional movie about Frankenstein.

First they make it so you cant use violent sexual swear words on YouTube, then they bring out this film.
Darn them.
