no dude it's so cool how attached you are to that character who is singled out and ostracized due to the external monstrousness that clashes with their internal spark of humanity. and i love how drawn you are to themes of horror and love, nature versus nurture, otherness, isolation, and the abject. i bet you have normal feelings about your own personhood

On my last rewatch of Frankenstein (listen, they re-released it on a different theatre. I was hopeless), the scene that truly hit me was when they reach the end of the Creature's tale, and Anderson asks "the blood outside the tent..." and the Creature says "it is mine. All mine"

The way the Creature states it matter of factly, because he has bled so much, and the only two people who cared about his wounds are gone.

And the way Anderson remembers how horrified he was when he first saw the blood, and is only now realizing it was not Victor's blood. He realizes that that is what Victor has always done: laid on someone else's blood and pretend to be the victim.

"Isaac laughs remembering "One time we were looking at the monitor and Guillermo said to me, 'A European would never make this movie that we're making. This is a Latino-telenovela version of the story. It is not a coincidence that my Victor Frankenstein isn't being played by an English person, it's being played by Oscar Isaac Hernández from Guatemala." Speaking in Spanish with his director was comforting to Isaac. "It was truly the first time I felt like I was making something with a family member. Even though its Mary Shelley, and the story takes place in Geneva and Scotland, I felt so connected to my heritage. It bubbled up from the earth. It felt like an ancestral journey for me."

I wanted the movie to test the capabilities of every single craft in moviemaking. There are huge sets, huge props, complex wardrobe. I wanted it to feel like an old movie that was made in the heyday of Hollywood. Luscious, and beautiful, and operatic and all that. [...] 'cause I didn't want the audiance to go, "Oh, it's digital," because once you introduce that, it's like a license for people not to believe things. [...] If you do it for real, people have a sense.
