After watching the film, I feel that it is the reproduction of the scientific dream of a teenager. I think that many people have thought about becoming a scientist when they were young, and inventing something to be praised by others, but in the end they all died under the "correct teaching" of their parents.
We know that electric shock can promote the beating of the heart, and we also know that lightning can electrocute people. If you are not a professional, don't experiment at will. I still remember a text I learned at that time, to the effect that a scientist used a kite to get lightning, and he was almost electrocuted. After reading it at the time, I really wanted to try it, but "almost electrocuted" buried the idea of "this is a minefield, don't be daring" in my young mind.
This damn textbook, telling us that a dream is shattered immediately, it's really fucking fucked up.
Years later, when we saw Frankenstein, Bolton was here to achieve something we imagined but couldn't do as a child.
The protagonist Victor resurrected his pet dog with thunder and lightning, and then the other children resurrected Godzilla, a turtle turned into a turtle, a combined monster of a cat and a bat, and some unknown animals
... , a dark style children's dream movie begins.
In terms of character design, Bolton's consistent style is continued. The protagonist Victor is exactly the same as the protagonist of "Zombie Bride". The fat mayor I think of the eight-claw factory director in Pixar's "Monster Electric Company". Other figures are re-enactments of the Bolton symbol. A hunchbacked student, a fat man with a silly hat, a strong teacher...
The one who impressed me was the eccentric teacher who taught science. The first time I saw the final boss who thought it would be evil, I didn't expect that under the evil appearance of this crazy teacher, it was a persistent exploration of science. He didn't fit in with the group, and was eventually driven out of the town, so that he didn't have the opportunity to see the "scientific experiments" made by his students. I
don't know if I looked carefully. I feel that Bolton's character model was not deliberately erased this time. The texture of the puppet model looks very hand-made, which is a bit "rough" than the previous film.
Burton's films are still so dark fairy tales, but there will always be a little bit of color, telling you that this is still the world, and there is still warm humanity.
