One of the other major subtexts of the book is fatherhood. Mary Shelley's mother died in childbirth and she didn't always have the greatest relationship with her father. So a lot of that made it into the characters and Victor is repeating the cycle with his "child."

One thing I really appreciated here is that it
really delves into Victor's childhood in a way that other adaptations haven't. He wasn't some well-meaning but short-sighted "mad scientist" who unleashed a "monster." He was an egomaniac and the "monster" is the most sympathetic character.

And Guillermo del Toro has captured all of these themes in his screenplay, ignoring all previous cinematic depictions and finally giving the world a proper adaptation of one of the English language's best novels.
absolutely. And i wasnt expecting it either. Going into it, I thought this movie is woke bullshit. What could a MEXICAN know about it?
But i was pleasantly surprised.

But yeah. If you like them both this will probably be one for you. Del Toro has only made one big miss for me so far (I hated The Shape of Water, despite it being a Del Toro and sporting Sally Hawkins in the cast). -

The Shape of Water I learned to love. Basically that Film is if "The Creature from the Black Lagoon" and "Love Story" had a baby it would be "The Shape of Water"

Gillman never stood a chance in your heart. Not with the likes of Sebastian Shaw and Joe Cole lurking

And still, sometimes, video game style movement.
) Anyway, the design of his lab is super cool. Very dilapidated though.
