"Frankenstein" can make fans of Gothic movies scream with excitement. Bolton puts too much respect for the Gothic that made him into the corner of the movie. After playing with zombie werewolves and vampires, Bolton returned to the starting point of the Gothic Frankenstein, also with a sharp chin and scary glasses, but this time the protagonist of the story has a slight communication barrier. The technical nerd Victor and his puppy sparky. The word spark itself means "electric spark", so the context of the story becomes very clear. Of course, Bolton’s careful thinking, just a name is definitely not enough, sparky resurrected to become a Frankenstein dog, two screws on the neck can be recognized at a glance that it is a replica of Frankenstein. The little guy and the neighbor's poodle dog brows, but accidentally overcurrent, the little bitch has a lightening pattern on its head, which also mimics the bride of Frankenstein. Even the humpbacked boy with a hoarse voice is the standard look of Dr. Frankenstein's assistant. Another example is the little girl from Victor’s neighbor named Van Helsing. At the end, she was attacked by a vampire bat that happened to be turned into a cat. It is a tribute to the classic vampire genre; the resurrected mutant animals make a big noise in the town, and the ghost Sla is here. A roar behind the banner and the mayor hiding in the toilet in a hurry are all classic sections of "Jurassic Park". Many similar small details may not contribute much to the story itself, but they can make the audience evoke the surprises in the memory again and again. The nostalgic meaning does not need to raise the flag and shout slogans. The moving details are sincere. Nostalgia.
Whether it is Gothic literature or Gothic genre movies, one of the most important reasons is the adrenaline soaring excitement stimulated by terror. Frankenstein is very different in a dry Gothic story, because it is different from the pure fiction of zombie vampires, but incorporates scientific elements. Bolton used the words of the teacher in the movie to interpret "science". He said that only ignorant people would be afraid of the unknown world, but scientists would not. Scientists will ask one more question, and will solve this problem, and the method of solving the problem is often used by ignorant people ignorantly, thus causing many unexpected consequences. I have to say that this sounds like a ruthless ridicule of ourselves, just like instead of scolding Einstein's mass-energy equation for reflecting the working principle of the atomic bomb, why not scold those countries that abuse nuclear weapons? ? With the help of science, people become more unscrupulous and ignorant to challenge the original laws of nature, just like the children in the movie consciously or unconsciously said that ever since the windmill was built in the town, thunderstorms and lightnings have continued every day. The topic of science is placed in more and more movies. Many directors are trying to explore what science can bring to mankind, or whether science has the potential to destroy everything. Bolton finally gave "science" a romantic understanding. The reason why the same scientific experiment will have different results is because the emotions you give to science itself are different, and emotion itself is also a reagent, and love and science equals success.
I like Bolton's movies very much because no matter how goth he looks, his inner world is always a child who is not growing up. The protagonists in Bolton’s movies always seem to have something in common. They don’t like to communicate with others very much. They look dull on the surface, but they are kind-hearted. Most of them use their dexterity. Victor is also a typical Boltonized. geek boy. He is immersed in his own small world like the members of the Bolton Autism Group. Only his only friend sparky, so sparky accidentally encountered a car accident has so much motivation to drive him to make such an attempt to bring it back to life. Of course, we only believe and want to believe that sparky will eventually survive when we watch a cartoon. I, who have also raised pets in real life, can only pray that everything is well in the world that belongs to it after it leaves. Victor’s mother said that those who left us did not really leave, but lived in a special place in our heart forever. I think this is the very unique charm of Bolton. He can let us in a imaginary world. Happy and moving tears can also make us smile with tears when we return to the real world we live in. Even if he wears a black cloak, he simply believes in love and beauty. It is not childish to like fairy tales, but an obsession to stick to the beauty. Bolton’s black fairy tales drift between reason and sensibility, and they are also beautiful in reality. NS.
If a cartoon can see so many doorways, and it is not my over-explanation, then we should believe that the cartoon itself is the intention of the producer. After the bombardment of several large-scale production cartoons, the black-and-white single-frame "Frankenstein Dog" brought the dazzling effect of returning to the basics and making the audience ignore the dazzling effect of color and just simply listen to the story. As for it breaks through the siege and sings to be nominated for major awards, several opponents on the road to awards are also powerful players that cannot be underestimated. In the end, it is not that important to be able to listen to it with the family in 80 minutes. Botton tells the story, not just like the beginning of the movie, the life of Victor's family is simple, warm and beautiful.
