Jacob Elordi incroyable. Émouvant, prenant et bien fait. Le rythme un peu lent est tout à fait acceptable, l’histoire est narrée ainsi. Cela ajoute de la beauté aux visuels et aux émotions partagés avec les personnages.
Rating 6 out of 10 because it was not really my cup of tea and it was very slow but the ending gave me many thoughts - forgiveness comes with so many sacrifices, regrets, and sometimes even death. Even Victor, who is genius also never had the wisdom like the blind old man. The Frankenstein himself was also in agony with hatred, just like his creature. Human is imperfect in many ways at the end of the day, and we cannot create perfect creatures. The Frankenstein said to Victor on his death bed, “his grief and anger had no meaning” as coming to this conclusion that he always wanted to be just loved and interact with people, feel the warmth of other human’s touch just like how Elizabeth gave to him very briefly yet indeed significantly. He accepts Victor’s apology so he can be finally in peace. When seeing his first tear drop since he was created, it actually concluded this movie so well. Victor also knew nothing about how to teach since his father’s teaching was always cruel and strict, which later Victor himself also did not know how to teach Frankenstein but copies his father’s brutality and impatience in his teaching. I hoped that Victor was bit more patient with the Frankenstein because it was clear that he learned speaking and developed his emotional intelligence quickly. I would call such wasteful talent of Victor’s family’s that is ruined and destroyed by their personality, a curse of the Frankenstein. The curse also didn’t end with Victor’s personality but also the tragedy of family’s death (Victor’s younger brother and his fiancée Elizabeth) that always followed Victor since he was kid, started from his loving mother, to his younger brother and his fiance.
Incroyablement bien réalisé, j’ai pleurer !
Un véritable chef d'œuvre ! Tout est parfait. Guillermo del Toro nous démontre une fois de plus son génie. A voir absolument
Moi je l’ai trouvé extraordinaire 😍😍 La photographie, l’esthétique du film sont hors du commun 😍😍
Film qui se laisse regarder très facilement sans ennui malgré la durée. Les questions d'éthique et d'émotions sont au cœur du sujet. Le personnage principal (Victor) est détestable mais j'ai adoré le monstre que ce dernier a créé ainsi qu'Elisabeth.
Je ne connaissais pas vraiment l’histoire, donc je sais pas si c’est l’histoire de base qui est pas folle ou la réadaptation en film mais j’ai pas kiffé
Netflix Très beau film … émouvant
Pas accroché malgré de beau décor … trop gore pour moi
