slightly long review

The first feeling is that it is too aggressive, like a stage play rather than a movie. The classmates who watched it together were shocked. At least this kind of horror is not in the category I would be afraid of. The shape is a little scary, but if it is not so ugly and different from ordinary people, how can it be regarded as a monster and attacked by people? ? So I think this kind of design is reasonable and realistic. Everyone loves beauty, so children of a few years old will be afraid to run away. Only blind people will not reject it because they can't see it.

Works like this were absolutely astounding at the time, and the topics explored are relevant even today. I still believe that it's not human nature to do evil, everyone is a potential criminal, and some of them have the gift of being more prone to sin. Just like a child with artistic talent will never find out that he has this ability if he has not been exposed to art all his life, but can become a genius once someone discovers and gives him a chance to grow, a natural criminal can only be born in a specific social environment. If they are treated kindly and educated well, such natural crimes will be as little as possible.

This is the case with men in the play. When he was "born", he was ignorant, but people attacked him, thinking that a family that was friendly to him rejected him (although it was a misunderstanding), so he chose to take revenge on Frankenstein , which is also the helplessness of being an alien who is out of tune with society. Since I was created, it should take responsibility to help me be accepted by society, or find a way to live together peacefully, abandoned at birth and let his hatred continue to breed. Nezha is actually a similar theme, so I believe that my fate is up to me, or that my fate is also affected by the attitude of society towards me, and it is by no means 100% determined by some kind of natural gene.

As for a woman's suicide, I think her self-destructive tendencies were aroused in that situation, and she was needed by two people, one of the same kind, and one of her own creator and lover, who had to face different people. The body parts of the spliced ​​I am still not me contradiction... So there is a beautiful suicide scene.

As for the logic of the plot, because I read the original book too early, I'm not sure whether it's the original setting or the movie script. For example, a man uses a professor's brain. If a woman's reaction indicates that she has a memory of Frankenstein, So don't men with taught brains recall things from their past lives? Why did Frankenstein fail to make a cyborg and decide to abandon the experiment and move the full set home? Some questions can't be solved for the time being, maybe I can figure it out when I read the original book again.

    I like it very much. Fall into the magic cave. Women's incomparable passion and writing power. Kenneth Branagh is an excellent director and performer.

    Begin to have known stars, De Niro and Helena. More faithful to the original, the blind grandfather of the expedition ship cabin has it. The editing is a bit messy, the overall style is cult, and the monsters are ugly in appearance, struggling to resurrect from the slime. The monster is even more ferocious, killing several people according to the original, but the desire for his fiancée begins to appear, not just killing her for revenge. The love and killing between the creator and the creator is also more prominent. He is my father
