Behind the scenes of the Cyclops sequence in ‘THE ODYSSEY’. A 60-foot puppet was used on set in Nestor’s Cave, known as the birthplace of Zeus.

Having Helen and Clytemnestra be identical twins is genius because how poetic and fitting is it that Agamemnon, who used Helen as an excuse to start The Trojan War, who instigated the deaths of thousands and sacrificed his own daughter for his ambitions, only to fall by someone who bears the same face of the woman he politicized?

I just noticed the pile of boots in the foreground from the dead soldiers, all discarded in Victor's efforts to bring new life, a new life which now exists in the Creature. And the juxtaposition of Elizabeth in awe of the Creature all while he, too, has been discarded in the same place as the boots...oh, Guillermo Del Toro.

#but i also can't help but think of auschwitz and the boots there#it's an inescapable image when you see a pile of shoes like this#not sure if THAT was del toro's intention but it grimly fits in some ways @muirin007 I do think this is intentional. It also shows that Victor could have clothed the creature better but chose not to. Somewhere in that pile is a pair of boots which fit the creature's feet perfectly, but he doesn't get to have that.

@winter-wise Uggghhhhhh you're RIGHT, all those shoes and the comfort just within reach (including Victor, if he chose to give it)...OH, DEL TORO!

Actually, the more I look at it, the more pitiful it seems. Like a child locked up in there with no chance of escape...
