Frankenstein

Frankenstein is one of those films that just sticks with you. It dives into the age old question of what it really means to be human, and it's hard not to get a little caught up in that. You’ve got Dr. Victor Frankenstein,a brilliant scientist who, in his quest for glory, creates a creature that's just,well, a product of his ambition. And the thing is,it’s not just about monsters in a horror sense. it’s kind of a deep exploration of loneliness, rejection, and the consequences of pushing boundaries that maybe should remain untouched. As we watch Victor animate his creation,there’s this mix of awe and horror. Like, you can’t help but feel a bit bad for the creature. Imagine coming into the world and everyone’s just terrified of you. Victor, in his arrogance, sees the creature as a testament to his genius, but he totally fails to recognize the life he’s brought forth. It’s almost like he thinks he can play god,but he doesn’t really grasp the responsibility that comes with it. it’s tragic, really, and the film does a decent job of showing that unraveling. The mood is dark and eerie, yet there are moments that feel painfully human. The creature, despite his monstrous appearance,seeks companionship and understanding. It’s relatable, you know? When he tries to connect with people and gets met with fear and violence, you start to feel for him. Maybe it’s just me,but I found myself more sympathetic to him than to Victor.

The visuals help set this tone too. There’s a gritty, almost gothic aesthetic that fits perfectly with the story's themes. you can almost feel the weight of the castle and the storm that surrounds the whole experiment. When it comes to performances,I mean, they’re pretty solid. you’ve got Victor played with this intense energy that really conveys his obsession. you can see how his mind works, even if it’s spiraling out of control. And then the creature there’s something haunting about the way he moves and expresses himself. It’s a blend of brute strength and childlike confusion. It’s that contrast that makes his character so interesting. Of course,there are moments where the pacing feels a bit off. Like,sometimes it jumps from one emotional moment to another without giving you time to breathe. Does it work? Mostly. but there are times you might feel like you’re trying to keep up with the story’s rhythm, especially when it shifts gears quickly. And maybe that's part of the chaotic energy that reflects Victor’s state of mind,but it can be a bit jarring. And then there’s the ethical dilemma hanging over everything. The film poses some serious questions about scientific responsibility and the consequences of unchecked ambition.
