Isnt it wild that a spooky story written by a teenage girl in the 1800s still holds such a significant space in our collective imagination?
This could definitely be a series. Its a fascinating idea to compare the different tellings of the same story.
Never thought the whole “frankenstein’s monster giving eloquent monologues” thing would ever work in a movie, but GDT is a hell of a filmmaker
I loved Del Toros version cause he knows the story and all its versions too well but wanted to give his spin on it too which ended up being like a gothic tale rather than a horror flick
Next week: South Park
Del Toro's version did something no other version of the story (movie or novel) has ever done: show that we are all very capable of Victor's oversight/mistake.
The entry for "I, Frankenstein" being just a blip on the list and the narrator narrating with confusion in his voice is so freaking funny 😭💀
For the algo, love your analysis, thank you!
The ending of the Del Toro movie where the creature walks off in the sunrise being unable to die and having no choice but to keep on living was my interpretation for the book’s ending when I first read it. Because while in the book, the creature walks off and swears to kill himself by burning himself alive, I always thought to myself, “What if he fails? What if he can’t do it? Because he was created through unnatural means. He wasn’t created through natural means like us humans. So what if natural means can’t kill him? So when he walks off, he’s doomed to walk the earth forever”. That was the way I always interpreted the ending and that’s my headcanon of what happens after the book ends. So it was great to see the Del Toro version have that ending that I always imagined and for that reason, the Del Toro Frankenstein is my favorite adaptation of Mary Shelley’s novel.
The 2011 stage performance with Jonny Lee Miller and Benedict Cumberbatch was very compelling
