00:00:01.120 --> 00:00:03.919
Hey, this is Tiffany Hail from Friday the thirteenth to

2
00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:07.919
five Violet, and you are watching and listening to a film.

3
00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:08.199
Buy.

4
00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:16.600
If you're not toward me, love, then I will indulge

5
00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:40.280
and rage. Welcome back, everybody. We're we're continuing our discussion

6
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:45.320
of Garmoral I always mispronounced his name. Where Gherama de

7
00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:50.240
Toro's Frankenstein. Ladies, let's continue our discussion about the film itself.

8
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:51.560
I know we've kind of been doing that as we've

9
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:55.799
been talking about the cast, But there's so many amazing

10
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:59.600
scenes throughout this film. How do you, ladies feel about

11
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:02.960
him breaking it into like the prelude about his character

12
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:06.239
and then the creature's story. I think that was perfect

13
00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:07.120
in my opinion.

14
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:09.519
They didn't interfere with the storytelling.

15
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:13.920
I thought that was a great way of, you know,

16
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:17.000
still flowing through things and you still didn't feel like, oh, well,

17
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:19.840
I you know I miss something, or you know, you

18
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:22.519
would forget. I thought it was very, very well done

19
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:24.280
and it wasn't disruptive at all.

20
00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:29.040
Yeah, it's a good way of adapting a known tale

21
00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:35.120
because in the book, you like, Victor wakes up and

22
00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:41.120
sees the creature and like freaks out and like passes out,

23
00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:44.560
and then the creature just wanders off, like he grabs

24
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:47.159
a coat and the coat had Victor's diary in it,

25
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:49.920
and he just wanders off. So you don't find out

26
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:53.079
until way later where the creature's been and what has

27
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:57.120
happened to him. And it's all exposition. It's all him

28
00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:03.000
telling Victor, you know it. And I like that we

29
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:05.879
left this part of the tail and now we're picking

30
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:07.000
up on another part.

31
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:11.400
Like that was really, yes, seamless, it really was. It

32
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:14.080
flowed so well, you never got bored one time.

33
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:18.240
And I think also, like I've said, like Victor is

34
00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:20.520
the worst, so like we needed a break.

35
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:21.680
Oh yeah, for sure.

36
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:25.840
You know, like he blows up that scene where he

37
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:31.199
blows up the laboratory, like that is so horrific that

38
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:33.759
he uh that he left him chained in the basement

39
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:36.280
and and he and he gave him what he asked

40
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:38.439
for and he still blew the thing up, like like

41
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:42.439
an't even so like we needed a break. We need

42
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:47.319
to like catch our breasts and you know, go to

43
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:48.919
a quiet farm somewhere and chill out.

44
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:52.199
Yeah, And it was nice that he got some instant

45
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:56.039
karma from that you know, that little plate is like, really,

46
00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:59.879
was that really regret or what in?

47
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:00.960
And yeah?

48
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:04.520
And then having you know that that happened, I'm like, yeah, painful, isn't.

49
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:07.199
It serves you right, buddy, right.

50
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:10.439
But again, it's not gonna be like this is my fault.

51
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:14.479
Right, it's the creature's fault because he was calling my name.

52
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:19.960
Yes, a little fun fact, the prosthetic leg that Victor

53
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:23.120
gets is the same prosthetic leg from Devil's back.

54
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:27.800
Then, Oh is it really? I didn't catch that. That's awesome. Nice,

55
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:29.919
that's a nice touch, it really is. I love when

56
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:30.439
directors do.

57
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:32.319
That kind of I know, why not?

58
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:36.560
Yes, why not? I absolutely love how the creature learns

59
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:40.479
how to talk and read, how he's watching, you know,

60
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:44.360
the blind man teaching his granddaughter and he's watching the

61
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:47.840
wall of that. I thought that was so well done,

62
00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:48.719
I really do.

63
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:52.479
And just that whole storyline makes me so sad because

64
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:56.879
they are so appreciative of his wanting to help them,

65
00:03:56.919 --> 00:04:00.400
and he, you know, chops the wood forum and fixes

66
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:04.319
the fence and they're thinking the the what do they

67
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:07.800
call him the spirit of the forest, And they leave

68
00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:10.599
him clothes, and they leave him food and stuff, And

69
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:14.639
it reminded me of Pans Labyrinth because the fairy tale

70
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:20.079
creatures in that film are so ugly beautiful, yes that

71
00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:25.240
if you're not open minded, they're terrifying. And so here

72
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:28.720
are these people that, like you, have this spirit that

73
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:32.800
has only ever been benevolent. But the moment they see him,

74
00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:37.160
they can't get past what he looks like to realize

75
00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:40.160
this is who's been helping you the whole time. You know,

76
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:43.279
this is this kind spirit that you have, you know,

77
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:47.199
praised and been so grateful for. And you didn't have sad.

78
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:48.879
He just wanted head pads.

79
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:52.879
It's so sid want just to belong.

80
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:55.959
And what I love about when he found shelter there

81
00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:00.360
you have all the mice crawling around that usually in

82
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:02.519
a normal you know, human be like you know, varmints

83
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:04.399
or you know, go at him with the room and stuff.

84
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:07.199
But he, you know that whole the mouse going over

85
00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:09.839
his hand, and then when he pulled the blanket of

86
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:11.560
himself and then you see all the mouths that kind

87
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:12.839
of gathering you know, on him.

88
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:15.639
Just encap I thought that was a lovely.

89
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:20.279
Moment and just his acknowledgment of other little creatures that

90
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:22.560
even though you know we're smaller than him and to others,

91
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:25.240
you know, their pest or whatnot. But also not just

92
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:27.519
with the little creatures, but you know before that, with

93
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:31.439
the simple thing of a be leaf and the flowing water,

94
00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:36.160
and by him watching the leaf and the water, knowing

95
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:41.120
how he could escape, you know, the fate that Victor

96
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:44.079
was trying to you know, send him to. Of course

97
00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:45.720
at that point you know that he could regenerate.

98
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:49.319
But but those little.

99
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:53.079
Moments of just his you know him just hey, it's

100
00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:59.040
a symbiotic relationship that I really that. And then again

101
00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:02.439
it's just he wanted willingness to learn, like he had

102
00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:05.360
the willingness there, but he didn't have the teacher that had.

103
00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:07.560
A terrible teacher, right, yeah, that.

104
00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:11.879
Didn't have that same that same goal, that same appreciation

105
00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:16.680
for actual knowledge, right, just basics.

106
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:20.399
Just in itself, you have this this brilliant mind in Victor,

107
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:23.480
who you know, does an incredible job of bringing something

108
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:27.839
back to life, okay, but has so selfish, so self centered,

109
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:31.360
that he cannot teach. But yet you have a blind

110
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:36.879
man who has the patience, the wisdom, and in my opinion,

111
00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:40.759
is more intelligent than Victor because of that fact that

112
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:43.000
he takes his time to teach his daughter, i mean,

113
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:47.199
his granddaughter that. But also at the same time, the love,

114
00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:50.360
even though he can't see this guy, the love that

115
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:53.519
he shows him just makes him so much better than Victor,

116
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:55.240
just the fact, and he.

117
00:06:55.199 --> 00:07:01.199
Has a wonderful representation of it's purposefully done that he's blind,

118
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:04.879
because just like with us, if we didn't allow our

119
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:10.959
eyes to make the judgment, you know, if we had

120
00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:14.959
that removed and relet on our other senses and intuition

121
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:17.480
and kind of you know, that common sense that you know,

122
00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:21.319
if you would allow those things to be at the

123
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:25.120
forefront versus just what you're seeing, that would make all

124
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:28.720
the difference of how we interact with each other and

125
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:30.759
how you know, we we would treat one another. You know,

126
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:33.120
the pre can see and like you said, people, he

127
00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:35.720
must have been a soldier. You know, we're else you know, like,

128
00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:38.000
you know, did someone do this to you? You know?

129
00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:39.000
What what happened to you?

130
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:41.319
That's usually would be kind of like a common first

131
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:43.839
question if you see something, you know, like like what happened?

132
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:45.879
Because who in their mine?

133
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:47.920
The first thing, oh, you must have been put together

134
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:49.759
by a bunch of dead dude dead you know, the

135
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:52.920
dead part body parts, so right, you know that's not

136
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:53.480
the first.

137
00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:55.120
Putting those two together.

138
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:56.759
Yeah, yeah, you know.

139
00:07:56.800 --> 00:07:58.839
And then you know, if you're told that you're like what,

140
00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:02.399
you're out of your mind and they lock you up

141
00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:04.120
just for being a madman, not for being a monster,

142
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:09.000
but but the use of the blind man, you know,

143
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:11.879
showing that you've got these other senses that you really

144
00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:16.920
rely on and nurture and and you you know, your eyesight,

145
00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:18.759
so he didn't have to have his eyes, you know,

146
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:19.759
he had his sense.

147
00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:23.199
Of you're a good person. You can feel that vibe.

148
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:25.639
Off of Oh yeah, absolutely, you can, you know.

149
00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:27.759
With or without, you know, your eyes, you can definitely

150
00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:30.000
get that. And he so to me, I mean that

151
00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:30.959
was the ultimate.

152
00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:37.519
I mean, yeah, there's there's a line that the creature

153
00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:40.559
gives us in his narration. He says, this is when

154
00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:42.879
the wolves were attacking for the first time and killing

155
00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:45.200
the sheep and stuff like that. He said, the hunter

156
00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:47.519
did not hate the wolf, the wolf did not hate

157
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:51.080
the sheep, but violence felt inevitable between them. This was

158
00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:53.559
the way of the world. It will haunt you and

159
00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:57.559
kill you just for being who you are. That is

160
00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:02.000
just beautiful, It really really is and I mean it

161
00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:05.679
really makes you think of the way we view things

162
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:09.360
in this world. And you know, it just it makes

163
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:12.399
you personalize it in a way, if that makes sense.

164
00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:14.639
It does, you know, it makes you want to treat

165
00:09:14.679 --> 00:09:18.759
other people better because of hearing that. I mean, it

166
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:20.799
just it hits home. It really does.

167
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:25.799
You know, a person's walk of life for why they

168
00:09:25.799 --> 00:09:29.200
are the way they are, you know, but just automatically, Hey,

169
00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:32.759
you're in this category. You're in this category. It's going

170
00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:35.399
to be you know, wolves are beautiful, but yes, but

171
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:40.799
they're doing what they were born to be exactly and

172
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:44.039
it was for you know, they need to feed themselves too.

173
00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:48.639
And fortunately sheep are not a predator, you know, you know,

174
00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:51.080
they are a prey and it's just that's the balance

175
00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:54.360
of that natural world.

176
00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:58.440
Yeah. Yeah, there's just there's just so many things in

177
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:01.080
this film. It's ridiculous. I mean we be talking probably

178
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:04.240
half a day on this on this film.

179
00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:08.480
This is definitely a leave the film and go have

180
00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:13.159
a nice long dinner. Yeah, and you know, just let

181
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:14.200
the ideas flow.

182
00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:17.320
Yeah, this is another one of those films. And I

183
00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:19.799
talked about this when we did Jaws back in the summer.

184
00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:22.519
This is another one of those films if you are

185
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:26.120
a film student and you want to really look what

186
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:28.559
it looks like to make an incredible film that is

187
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:32.639
considered art. This is a perfect example to show this

188
00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:37.360
to students of the depth that you can take in

189
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:40.799
creating a vision. And Del Toro is a god dam

190
00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:43.279
master of that, and he proves it in this film.

191
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:45.360
He's proved it countless other times. Don't get me wrong,

192
00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:46.200
I was gonna say.

193
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:49.720
I think I still would champion Penn's Labyrinth over this one.

194
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:55.720
But but yeah, you're absolutely right, Like this absolutely should

195
00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:57.120
be on a curriculum somewhere.

196
00:10:57.360 --> 00:11:03.759
Yeah, And I envy young filmmakers today. You know, today,

197
00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:07.039
kids have so many things at their fingertips. Now. Anybody

198
00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:10.120
can make a damn movie now because you know, the cameras.

199
00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:12.519
The technology is there with the cameras, the drones, the

200
00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:15.000
steady cams, the computers for crying out loud. You can

201
00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:16.799
edit a film on anything. You can edit a film

202
00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:20.679
on your damn phone now. So there's so many things

203
00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:23.960
that kids' fingertips now. I'm jealous of that because when

204
00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:25.600
I was that age, god, well, you had to use

205
00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:28.039
a VHS camera for crying out loud. And you really

206
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:30.039
couldn't edit it that well because you didn't have the

207
00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:34.039
technology to do that kind of thing. Now you've got

208
00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:37.480
everything at your fingertips. Just be creative, tell a story,

209
00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:40.840
you know, and this is a perfect for This is

210
00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:42.279
a perfect film to go look at that.

211
00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:42.960
You know.

212
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:45.759
I showed this to my nephews and you know, well,

213
00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:48.480
I'll go back to like talking about if some people

214
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:50.440
out there have not heard of Frankenstein. My one nephew

215
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:53.240
had no clue who Frankenstein was, and I felt kind

216
00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:55.919
of bad. I'm like, really, you don't know who Frankenstein

217
00:11:55.960 --> 00:11:59.759
is and you're my nephew. I've let you down somewhere, Okay.

218
00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:02.240
You know that happens with Liam sometimes where he's like,

219
00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:04.279
you know, what's Pink Floyd? And I'm like, oh, I

220
00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:07.960
have failed you. I'm down son. You're gonna learn.

221
00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:10.120
And that's what I did. I set him down. And

222
00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:12.559
his older brother he already knew freaking Stein and we

223
00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:15.440
watched it together, so now he knows and he got

224
00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:19.279
a great example of what Frankenstein is out of this film.

225
00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:20.840
Yes, absolutely, to.

226
00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:24.960
See how you can make their lives more enriched and

227
00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:27.720
show them and you know, open up their minds.

228
00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:31.279
You don't just discard them and chain them to the basement.

229
00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:32.960
Don't go hit them with anything.

230
00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:35.240
You know, Well, you're just dumb, and I'm done with you.

231
00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:42.159
Well, I love that the title of the book is

232
00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:46.759
subtitled the Modern Prometheus, and I love to think about

233
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:50.480
that as you're reading it or watching this movie. Because

234
00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:55.000
Prometheus he gave humans fire because he wanted them to

235
00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:57.960
grow and flourish. He loved them so much. He wanted

236
00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:01.480
to enrich their lives and make it better be And

237
00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:06.240
what Victor has is hubris, which in Greek mythology, it

238
00:13:06.320 --> 00:13:10.200
was a lot worse than just being like extremely prideful

239
00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:13.720
or arrogant. It was saying that we are better than

240
00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:16.720
the gods and that we can do it better, and

241
00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:19.679
that they are unworthy of ruling, and we're going to

242
00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:23.080
take over. And you know, all of these things that

243
00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:27.840
you look at, you know, your parents, and you can say, well,

244
00:13:27.879 --> 00:13:30.120
these are all the ways that you screwed up, And

245
00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:32.960
then unfortunately you look at your own kids and you go, yeah,

246
00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:35.799
these are all the ways I screwed up. Because none

247
00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:37.519
of us know what we're doing. We're all doing the

248
00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:41.039
best we can exactly, but you know, to see how

249
00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:46.600
that progresses through this story is just a fascinating thought experiment.

250
00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:49.720
Yeah, and it shows you what kind of level of

251
00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:53.519
the creatures on too, that he forgives Victor at the end,

252
00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:57.639
Like what would that take for anyone to forgive somebody

253
00:13:57.720 --> 00:14:01.360
who put them through that? And then him begging and

254
00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:05.200
asking for a companion, and you know, just wanting someone

255
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:09.240
to love him. Just it really breaks your heart. And

256
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:12.679
I don't know if I could forgive somebody if they

257
00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:14.480
put me through something like that, that would be the

258
00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:18.480
hardest thing ever. Granted, you know he's an innocent, he

259
00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:21.519
really is. Victor just put him through hell and back,

260
00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:24.039
you know, and he learned his lesson with that. And

261
00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:26.600
he actually taught Victor a lesson by you know, beating

262
00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:28.440
the crap out of him. You know. The one thing

263
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:30.200
when he says, I will make you bleed, I will

264
00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:32.600
make you humble. You may have created me, but from

265
00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:35.559
this day forward, I will be your master. I love

266
00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:39.000
that line because it just shows you how the roles

267
00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:43.399
have reversed there, you know. And I think maybe Victor

268
00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:46.559
doesn't recognize it just yet, because he still goes on

269
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:49.639
that hunt and chases him up north and so eventually

270
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:52.039
on the ship he does realize it because remember he

271
00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:54.879
tells the captain just put me outside, let the creature

272
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:59.759
have me, because you know, I'm done basically. But then

273
00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:02.440
when and you know, uh, the creature comes in, tells

274
00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:04.679
his story, and then they sit down and basically just

275
00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:08.279
you know, Victor asks for that forgiveness. The whole scene

276
00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:11.240
right there was just beautiful in itself, even though we

277
00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:14.360
may hate Victor still, which we do, but just the

278
00:15:14.519 --> 00:15:17.879
the love the creature had for his father right there

279
00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:23.240
just shows you the heart he had in the end.

280
00:15:23.799 --> 00:15:27.559
I absolutely am in love with that addition and of

281
00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:31.120
that know that to be part of that adaptation of

282
00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:35.600
that therapeutic scene between them. And I had mentioned in

283
00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:37.639
the review about the forgiveness part that that is a

284
00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:41.840
feat that a lot of as humans struggle to get to.

285
00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:44.039
That healing.

286
00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:46.120
You know, all these things we try to, you know,

287
00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:49.279
to survive and so forth, and and you know, the

288
00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:54.399
creature has had a limited time, you know, on the earth,

289
00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:59.120
so they're not so jaded by the world as you

290
00:15:59.159 --> 00:16:03.480
know whole and I think too with his interactions with

291
00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:09.960
that blind man Elizabeth and just and then the little

292
00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:12.039
scenes that you have with you know where it was

293
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:14.200
that it was a deer when he was in this

294
00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:17.799
wandering through the forest before he got to that family's

295
00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:22.200
the mice and things like that. That definitely worked in

296
00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:26.720
his favor to get to that point, you know, despite

297
00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:28.840
what Victor done with them, because like you said, most

298
00:16:28.879 --> 00:16:32.639
of them like no, I hope you've rotten hell die

299
00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:37.840
of gone rhea and rotten, you know, like no, and

300
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:39.919
and especially you know a lot of you know, a

301
00:16:39.919 --> 00:16:41.919
lot of people are being more outspoken about, you know,

302
00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:43.919
their traumas and things, because that is a you know,

303
00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:48.399
healthy part. But you know, even personally, I mean some

304
00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:51.279
certain things that you know, other people, the harms of that,

305
00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:54.639
you know, that's taken me like decades before, you know,

306
00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:58.600
because you don't always have to forgive someone else. I know,

307
00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:00.279
they say, you know, the forgiveness is about your self.

308
00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:03.679
And I'm trying not to digress too much, but just

309
00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:06.319
to bring Moore how he was just so willing to

310
00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:09.680
do that for himself and like you said, of having

311
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:10.720
you know.

312
00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:12.920
That even that self love.

313
00:17:13.160 --> 00:17:15.799
If I want to get all kind of little hokey

314
00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:20.200
about it, that you know, hey, this is kind of

315
00:17:20.759 --> 00:17:21.720
the cards have been dealt.

316
00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:24.720
This is what I want at the end, you know,

317
00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:25.480
he was able to.

318
00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:26.039
Yeah.

319
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:29.240
I wonder if it has more to do with acceptance, because,

320
00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:34.440
like he initially asks, Victor, make one like me. I

321
00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:39.240
want a partner, I want a mate. But I think

322
00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:44.039
in this adaptation the death of Elizabeth, like as he

323
00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:47.960
is with her when she dies and they're in her

324
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:51.640
action when she dies, I think he realized, like, this

325
00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:54.799
was my soulmate, this is the one that would have

326
00:17:54.839 --> 00:18:01.960
loved me, and she did in losing her. I think

327
00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:06.640
as he is fleeing Victor, he's accepting that there will

328
00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:08.920
be no one else like her. There's no one else

329
00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:10.839
like me, and there will be no one else like her.

330
00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:12.880
He's alone. Yeah, yep.

331
00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:16.799
And I think as he's fleeing and coming to accept that,

332
00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:23.920
you know, he tries to to destroy himself first with

333
00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:27.599
the dynamite, you know, and I think he had decided,

334
00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:30.400
like I'm accepting that this is the end of my path,

335
00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:33.039
and you know, when that didn't happen, I think that

336
00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:36.599
all of that trauma had then made it easier for

337
00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:40.000
him to take that next step to forgive Victor, you know,

338
00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:40.920
before he died.

339
00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:43.279
Yeah, that's a very good point.

340
00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:44.960
It's just you know, hey, this was the idea of

341
00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:46.680
a life that I would have liked to have had.

342
00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:51.680
Now that that version is not possible, I have to

343
00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:55.039
move forward and the life that I am going on

344
00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:55.319
to have.

345
00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:59.000
That last scene, that last shot is just with the

346
00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:02.720
sun beautiful, Yes, with him standing in the sun. Like

347
00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:05.000
it's gut wrenching that it's beautiful as well.

348
00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:07.839
It is really heartbreaking. I mean it's just like because

349
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:10.160
he's by himself, you know, well.

350
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:11.960
Like to go back to pants Labyrinth, like the end

351
00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:14.519
of that movie, Like I'm a sobbing mess. Like it's

352
00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:18.640
really sad, but it's also beautiful because you know, she

353
00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:21.920
gets her parents and she's a princess and it's okay.

354
00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:24.279
It's bittersweet.

355
00:19:24.599 --> 00:19:28.119
Yes, And how appropriate that he ends this movie with

356
00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:30.240
the quote and I and thus the heart will break

357
00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:31.799
yet brokenly live on.

358
00:19:32.519 --> 00:19:35.519
Yes, I absolutely love that the Lord Byron quote. I'm

359
00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:38.400
going to that because that was another connection yep, you

360
00:19:38.440 --> 00:19:40.759
know with Mary Shelley Well, and it was.

361
00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:43.920
In the book, so you know it was important to her.

362
00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:45.839
There were people that were complaining about it, like you

363
00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:48.599
ended the movie with a man's quote, and I'm like, dude,

364
00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:50.440
the whole movie was her words.

365
00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:51.039
Like what do you want?

366
00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:53.240
We just spent like two and a half hours with her.

367
00:19:53.400 --> 00:19:55.119
It's fine, everybody, Calm.

368
00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:57.480
Down, Calm down, Calm down. And you know, another thing

369
00:19:57.519 --> 00:19:59.880
that I love that del Toro did is the sound

370
00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:04.119
the voice of the creature, Like especially at the beginning

371
00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:07.319
when he's attacking the crew and you hear that victor,

372
00:20:08.119 --> 00:20:10.960
like that deep growl that he had. It just like

373
00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:12.759
even when he got up on the ship and he

374
00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:15.000
was like I want him, and everybody's like backing up

375
00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:17.079
a little bit because it's almost like a creature, like

376
00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:20.240
literally a animal growling. Wow.

377
00:20:20.319 --> 00:20:23.200
Yeah, I don't know anything about any kind of layering

378
00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:26.640
of sound, but it does sound like if that's Jacob

379
00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:29.839
doing that voice, like that's really impressive voice work, which

380
00:20:29.880 --> 00:20:33.680
is possible, but like it almost sounds like they layered

381
00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:36.200
him with like a t rex and a gorilla and

382
00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:37.920
something else.

383
00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:44.440
But it works for sure. Yes, that whole opening with

384
00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:46.480
that just puts you on edge. Your sea's like, holy crap,

385
00:20:46.519 --> 00:20:47.359
we're in for a treat.

386
00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:50.759
Oh yeah, that that was a perfect way I get

387
00:20:50.759 --> 00:20:54.720
we're gonna pull you on into this and uh yeah

388
00:20:54.759 --> 00:20:59.279
and that after that and I was yeah, absolutely.

389
00:20:58.920 --> 00:21:01.960
Yeah, I was intrigued, see, because I didn't know where

390
00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:07.519
we were going with this adaptation. So Garma never lets

391
00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:10.079
you down. You're gonna end up loving the creature by

392
00:21:10.079 --> 00:21:11.960
the end of it, you know you are. But if

393
00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:17.519
we go according to Hoyle, like he's a horribly violent murderer,

394
00:21:17.640 --> 00:21:21.000
like he slaughters everybody, yep, you know, if they even

395
00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:25.119
thought the words Victor Frankenstein, they get killed. So you know,

396
00:21:25.359 --> 00:21:27.559
like you're wondering, how is he going to make me,

397
00:21:28.559 --> 00:21:30.880
you know, not terrified of this creature? And then of

398
00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:33.400
course look at what he does. Do you know?

399
00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:36.200
Another thing that we should discuss is the music by

400
00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:37.720
Alexander Displot. Yes.

401
00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:40.440
I was, oh, he's so, oh my god.

402
00:21:40.759 --> 00:21:43.640
That the music in this was brilliant. Again I'm using

403
00:21:43.640 --> 00:21:47.000
that word throughout this, Yes, And you know, at times

404
00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:49.680
it was it was just lightly there in the background

405
00:21:50.279 --> 00:21:53.119
and you you almost didn't notice it, but you did

406
00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:55.359
it because it didn't take over the story or the

407
00:21:55.440 --> 00:21:58.279
scene or anything like that. But then when it needed

408
00:21:58.279 --> 00:22:02.640
to really punch up, did it. And it was absolutely beautiful,

409
00:22:02.720 --> 00:22:05.519
especially the piece there at the end when when he's

410
00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:09.359
going off to the sun by himself. Beautiful piece right there,

411
00:22:09.960 --> 00:22:14.759
and It's just I glad that like he held himself

412
00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:16.920
back to some degree, and I'm sure that's still total saying.

413
00:22:16.920 --> 00:22:19.480
You know, I don't want the music taking over the

414
00:22:19.519 --> 00:22:22.559
story because the story is strong enough, but you still

415
00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:26.000
get hints of it throughout the film, and I thought

416
00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:26.559
it was lovely.

417
00:22:27.079 --> 00:22:30.119
Oh and I love like there is there is no

418
00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:36.119
Frankenstein movie without the reanimation scene, like the laboratory and

419
00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:39.039
the reanimation in the storm. Like if you don't have that,

420
00:22:39.160 --> 00:22:41.599
I don't know what the hell you're doing, and it's

421
00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:47.000
so crucial and right, what story are you even telling?

422
00:22:47.440 --> 00:22:50.799
But it's interesting to see all the different ways that

423
00:22:50.839 --> 00:22:53.480
it's been done through the years and different ideas of

424
00:22:54.119 --> 00:22:58.079
you know, what scientific strategy could you use to reanimate

425
00:22:58.079 --> 00:23:02.519
a corpse? But I love in this scene how the

426
00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:08.400
music is like almost whimsical. Yes it is, because there's

427
00:23:09.000 --> 00:23:13.240
you know, horror and comedy are side by side, like

428
00:23:13.279 --> 00:23:15.720
they're the Yin and the Yang and a lot of horror,

429
00:23:16.720 --> 00:23:21.359
there is humor there because that's in some ways your

430
00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:25.440
response to fear is like that you just bubble up

431
00:23:25.480 --> 00:23:28.240
and like you can laugh, you know, And I love

432
00:23:28.359 --> 00:23:31.279
that that, you know, instead of like you said, being

433
00:23:31.400 --> 00:23:35.680
very bombastic and dramatic and something big is about to happen.

434
00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:38.920
There's this kind of whimsical you know, he's shoving these

435
00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:42.319
body parts down the drain and stuff. You know, there's

436
00:23:42.359 --> 00:23:45.119
this whimsy to that music that I think is just

437
00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:47.279
it's so spot on.

438
00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:50.759
It is absolutely It's funny. When you mentioned the body

439
00:23:50.759 --> 00:23:53.960
parts that that documentary that we saw, they said that, well,

440
00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:55.720
we had a few of these body parts and we

441
00:23:55.720 --> 00:24:02.400
want to see what ways he goes use them all ywhere.

442
00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:05.480
Yeah, there's legs and arms and who knows what.

443
00:24:05.680 --> 00:24:09.279
It's so gross, but yet I mean he's there like

444
00:24:09.359 --> 00:24:10.680
soling limbs off.

445
00:24:10.559 --> 00:24:13.680
And just but you know, there's a beauty to that

446
00:24:13.839 --> 00:24:18.039
as well. It's in the in the level of you know,

447
00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:21.240
if you are in medicine, you take gross anatomy and

448
00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:26.000
you dissect a cadaver and you learn all of these structures,

449
00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:30.079
and he uses that so well, yeah, I know he's

450
00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:37.880
not a doctor, but I mean he did go class

451
00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:42.359
for a while, and the use of that you know,

452
00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:47.200
scientific medical side of it and that anatomical medical side

453
00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:52.160
of it, I think keeps it from being disgusting. Just

454
00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:55.119
for the point of being disgusting. Like, I love Kenneth

455
00:24:55.119 --> 00:24:57.279
Branna and I like that version. I think it's a

456
00:24:57.319 --> 00:25:01.720
good adaptation of the book. But god damn, it's so gross.

457
00:25:01.720 --> 00:25:09.519
Like yeah, I just yeah, So this probably would be

458
00:25:09.599 --> 00:25:12.039
a good point to interject my slight little rits since

459
00:25:12.039 --> 00:25:14.480
we're talking about like the body parts, and then here

460
00:25:14.559 --> 00:25:18.839
we go, here we go, so this, yeah, this, I

461
00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:20.720
don't know, this might be just an extra for the patreons,

462
00:25:20.720 --> 00:25:21.240
but here we go.

463
00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:25.160
So back to when the creatures.

464
00:25:24.759 --> 00:25:28.160
Asking Victor, Hey, I want a companion, and then Victor

465
00:25:28.240 --> 00:25:31.839
goes off on you know, he refuses because he's not

466
00:25:31.880 --> 00:25:33.960
going to make another mistake and he doesn't want, you know,

467
00:25:34.279 --> 00:25:37.160
reproduction of the abomination and leads to more manus in

468
00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:41.160
the world, or, as he says, a breed of rare doubles.

469
00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:42.559
At least that's from the book.

470
00:25:43.759 --> 00:25:45.759
Obviously, he had to go through and salvage all these

471
00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:48.240
particular body parts and making sure that they were all

472
00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:53.559
in working order correct, So obviously you're going to assume, okay,

473
00:25:53.599 --> 00:25:58.799
maybe he would have the ability to reproduce, But that

474
00:25:59.640 --> 00:26:01.920
excuse is just kind of a cop out because if

475
00:26:01.960 --> 00:26:05.279
you were to go make a companion for him, well,

476
00:26:05.319 --> 00:26:08.240
again you're gonna have to find some fresh body parts

477
00:26:08.279 --> 00:26:13.000
to put together that you could reanimate that companion, but

478
00:26:13.200 --> 00:26:16.880
take out the reproductive organs. Now, mind you, I am

479
00:26:16.960 --> 00:26:21.000
all for women's autonomy and their choice and their personal

480
00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:23.720
desires when it comes to you know, pregnancy things like that.

481
00:26:24.000 --> 00:26:27.359
But since we learned that this particular creature version of

482
00:26:27.400 --> 00:26:31.279
the creature can regenerate, this sectomy is out of the

483
00:26:31.359 --> 00:26:35.319
question because I would assume you would do that these

484
00:26:35.359 --> 00:26:38.000
parts are gonna heal and then boom you have, you know,

485
00:26:38.039 --> 00:26:43.440
more little baby abominations running around. So and which also

486
00:26:43.519 --> 00:26:46.480
led me to believe, well, if he can regenerate, well

487
00:26:46.559 --> 00:26:47.920
forget about Captain America.

488
00:26:47.960 --> 00:26:49.880
Here's your freaking super soldier.

489
00:26:53.079 --> 00:26:53.519
With that.

490
00:26:55.359 --> 00:26:58.640
So that you know, So that was my whole argument

491
00:26:58.640 --> 00:27:01.920
about the whole you know, companion thing of just you

492
00:27:01.960 --> 00:27:05.960
could have given him somebody and you could have taken

493
00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:08.440
away that you know, that element. Again, I know I'm

494
00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:11.960
picking this apart, you know, and breaking it down, but

495
00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:15.799
I also thought it was just a four fundzies. Sure well,

496
00:27:16.039 --> 00:27:17.880
but that would have been logical about it.

497
00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:20.839
That was the one thing that I didn't like about

498
00:27:20.839 --> 00:27:24.839
this adaptation is I don't like the t one thousand

499
00:27:24.920 --> 00:27:29.880
element of Brukenstein, like I like him, yeah, being I

500
00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:36.440
wasn't super big, super strong. Yeah, but the idea that

501
00:27:36.519 --> 00:27:39.079
like he literally blow himself up with dynamite and then

502
00:27:39.119 --> 00:27:41.640
like just I don't know what came back together again.

503
00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:44.680
Yeah, he said he could feel everything kind of growing back,

504
00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:46.880
but even when he was.

505
00:27:46.400 --> 00:27:50.960
Leaving them say no, yeah, but I mean that's such

506
00:27:50.960 --> 00:27:54.359
a nitpicky little thing that it doesn't even cap it

507
00:27:54.359 --> 00:27:55.079
doesn't even matter.

508
00:27:55.279 --> 00:27:55.759
It's fine.

509
00:27:56.160 --> 00:27:58.680
So the whole Yeah, so that regeneration thing, I was like, okay,

510
00:27:58.680 --> 00:28:00.559
well that this is a new aspect of him.

511
00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:04.240
It is because you know in the.

512
00:28:03.880 --> 00:28:07.319
Book he does start making he makes one and then

513
00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:09.279
he throws it away and then he says I don't

514
00:28:09.279 --> 00:28:11.079
want him to all of a sudden now I can't

515
00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:14.000
do it, and he destroys it and the creature watches

516
00:28:14.079 --> 00:28:16.039
him destroy it, and that's when he's like, okay, well

517
00:28:16.119 --> 00:28:19.960
I'm killing your bride, you know, the wedding night, and

518
00:28:20.119 --> 00:28:22.400
Kenneth Bradas kind of took that little later.

519
00:28:24.839 --> 00:28:27.640
So that that leads me to a question, Yes, the

520
00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:31.880
way this one ends, do you think if Netflix was

521
00:28:31.960 --> 00:28:34.440
to finance it, do you think we would see Bride

522
00:28:34.440 --> 00:28:38.240
of Frankenstein from Del Toro, because there's rumors already flying

523
00:28:38.319 --> 00:28:41.000
around that it's a possibility. Now it's not come from

524
00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:46.200
Del Toro to my knowledge. But would you ladies like

525
00:28:46.240 --> 00:28:47.559
to see Bride of Frankenstein?

526
00:28:48.359 --> 00:28:49.599
I mean, it would be interesting.

527
00:28:50.559 --> 00:28:56.200
But on the other hand, it could be a different story,

528
00:28:57.319 --> 00:29:03.640
whether or not you know, without necessarily you know, companion

529
00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:08.319
that's created like him. So last night I watched a

530
00:29:08.400 --> 00:29:12.559
movie not realizing that it was more like an extension.

531
00:29:12.119 --> 00:29:13.000
Of the Frankenstan story.

532
00:29:13.000 --> 00:29:14.640
And I never seen it, but it's called I Franken

533
00:29:14.680 --> 00:29:17.000
Signed with Aaron Eckhart, and I will say it was fun.

534
00:29:17.359 --> 00:29:19.440
I don't know if you've seen it, but it was. Yeah,

535
00:29:19.480 --> 00:29:21.079
it was like a modern thing of him. You know,

536
00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:24.799
he survived and now he's in the middle of a

537
00:29:24.799 --> 00:29:29.119
war between gargoyles and demons and such. And it was,

538
00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:31.160
you know, by one of the main writers from you know,

539
00:29:31.200 --> 00:29:33.160
The Underworld's here. So as soon as I start, I'm like, okay,

540
00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:36.920
I can definitely feel the Underworld vibe throughout this whole thing.

541
00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:40.240
And it wasn't I would you know, it had a

542
00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:42.160
lot of good action, you know, it was decent. I

543
00:29:42.160 --> 00:29:46.519
mean it wasn't horrible, So maybe seeing something a little

544
00:29:46.599 --> 00:29:53.440
bit more that doesn't necessarily have to involve a bride.

545
00:29:53.559 --> 00:29:56.240
It couldn't be something forced. It's got to be like

546
00:29:56.319 --> 00:29:59.759
even if you know, I mean, he's gonna live for

547
00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:02.599
a Also, it doesn't necessarily have to take you know,

548
00:30:02.680 --> 00:30:05.160
like right after it could you know, timely even a

549
00:30:05.160 --> 00:30:07.000
little bit, you know, like it doesn't even have to

550
00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:11.759
be super modern, but it if del Tour would be

551
00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:14.000
willing to do it, I would be willing to watch it.

552
00:30:14.480 --> 00:30:15.279
Amber, what do you think?

553
00:30:17.079 --> 00:30:22.160
I mean, Brian Frankenstein in the movie doesn't if you're

554
00:30:22.200 --> 00:30:27.039
going for that story, it doesn't mesh with we just watched.

555
00:30:27.559 --> 00:30:32.400
So it would have to be like pretty original idea,

556
00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:36.640
you know. And and like Angela said, whatever Gamer wants

557
00:30:36.720 --> 00:30:41.359
to do for it, do whatever he wants forever. But

558
00:30:42.799 --> 00:30:46.599
I know I'm not interested. I I have you know,

559
00:30:46.720 --> 00:30:49.599
Liam loves hell Boy and hell Boy too, but that's

560
00:30:49.640 --> 00:30:54.640
a comic book adaptation that has many series and iterations.

561
00:30:55.640 --> 00:30:58.039
I've never been interested in a in a sequel to

562
00:30:58.119 --> 00:31:00.759
any of his films, so I think they're perfect just

563
00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:01.240
like they are.

564
00:31:01.759 --> 00:31:04.400
I'm in the camp that let's just leave this one alone.

565
00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:05.200
Yeah.

566
00:31:05.319 --> 00:31:07.559
We don't need any sequels, We don't need any additional

567
00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:10.000
stories or anything like that, because this one's absolutely perfect.

568
00:31:10.480 --> 00:31:11.039
I love the.

569
00:31:11.079 --> 00:31:14.519
Ending, like it's just yeah, yeah, peace, just leave and

570
00:31:14.640 --> 00:31:17.799
be And that's kind of where I'm go.

571
00:31:17.880 --> 00:31:18.920
Hang out with the polar bears.

572
00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:21.759
He'll be fine, right, you know, Go be a spirit

573
00:31:21.839 --> 00:31:22.519
of the forest.

574
00:31:22.680 --> 00:31:23.599
Go exactly.

575
00:31:23.880 --> 00:31:27.359
No, be benevolent to those that you don't always have

576
00:31:27.400 --> 00:31:27.880
you to make it.

577
00:31:27.960 --> 00:31:30.960
No, just be especially people out of the ice flow.

578
00:31:31.400 --> 00:31:35.200
Yes, yeah, absolutely, watch out for that. So I just

579
00:31:35.279 --> 00:31:37.839
like to think of his doing this thing his thing.

580
00:31:38.160 --> 00:31:40.359
He doesn't need our interference, and.

581
00:31:40.359 --> 00:31:42.079
I like that. That's that's the best way to look

582
00:31:42.119 --> 00:31:43.519
at it. And I agree with you on that one. Angela.

583
00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:46.720
All right, So, ladies, I know I told you to

584
00:31:47.400 --> 00:31:52.079
bring with you some homework and talk about your three

585
00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:54.640
favorite films that are frank Is signed. That is not

586
00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:57.480
this one, because I know all of us absolutely love

587
00:31:57.519 --> 00:32:00.000
this one, so we're not going to include this one.

588
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:03.200
So let's talk about our three favorite films that are

589
00:32:03.240 --> 00:32:07.960
about Frankenstein over the years. So whoever wants to go first,

590
00:32:08.079 --> 00:32:08.759
be my guest.

591
00:32:09.440 --> 00:32:14.279
I ad Aneymber all right, So my first one is

592
00:32:14.319 --> 00:32:18.000
from nineteen thirty five, The Bride of Frankenstein. Actually I

593
00:32:18.039 --> 00:32:19.920
was torn between that one and the first one. But

594
00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:24.880
Bride of Frankenstein has more of the monster and more

595
00:32:25.440 --> 00:32:27.759
his character is more like it is in the book,

596
00:32:29.000 --> 00:32:34.480
and you get a little more divisive Victor, so to speak,

597
00:32:34.519 --> 00:32:37.119
because you have Victor who's still like kind of a

598
00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:40.079
nice guy, and then you have Doctor Pretorius who's just

599
00:32:40.119 --> 00:32:42.880
an absolute rat bastard. So you get like the ying

600
00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:49.079
and yang of that. So I like that one. Nineteen

601
00:32:49.119 --> 00:32:52.000
seventy four. Young Frankenstein can never not be on the list.

602
00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:55.079
You have to to make a good parody, you have

603
00:32:55.119 --> 00:33:00.440
to love what you're paroding, and that parody is so

604
00:33:01.079 --> 00:33:07.319
spot on, perfect, hysterically funny, and the love just flows through,

605
00:33:07.400 --> 00:33:10.559
So that one always is on my list. And then

606
00:33:10.720 --> 00:33:13.240
for my third one, you know, I talked about the

607
00:33:13.279 --> 00:33:18.799
Kenneth Branna version. Everybody really knows that one. But in

608
00:33:18.880 --> 00:33:23.599
twenty eleven, the National Theater in Britain did National Theater

609
00:33:23.759 --> 00:33:30.279
live production of Frankenstein, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Johnny Lee Miller,

610
00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:33.599
and what they did was, for the run of the play,

611
00:33:34.119 --> 00:33:40.359
they alternated playing Victor and the creature. Oh cool, so

612
00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:43.039
they I don't, I can't remember. It was like every

613
00:33:43.039 --> 00:33:45.599
other night or every third night or whatever. They switched off.

614
00:33:46.519 --> 00:33:52.559
And then National Theater Live will film certain productions, and

615
00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:54.440
so Liam and I saw that in the theater and

616
00:33:54.480 --> 00:33:57.680
it's I believe, still available on YouTube. They did release

617
00:33:57.720 --> 00:34:01.200
it officially. It's not like a bootleg. And that is

618
00:34:01.359 --> 00:34:06.240
just a fascinating acting exercise. It's really interesting to watch,

619
00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:10.320
you know, the set design and the way they tell

620
00:34:10.360 --> 00:34:14.039
the story, and it's very minimalistic sets, but it still

621
00:34:14.039 --> 00:34:16.880
gives you everything that you need to tell the story.

622
00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:20.760
And then the acting between those two is just amazing,

623
00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:24.960
and it goes very much into the morality of the

624
00:34:25.079 --> 00:34:29.400
choices that Victor made. And and you know the line

625
00:34:29.920 --> 00:34:32.199
from this movie that I love is he says, I

626
00:34:32.280 --> 00:34:35.719
never considered what would come after creation, and I just

627
00:34:35.840 --> 00:34:40.679
shouted out, like just like a man, damn it. Of

628
00:34:40.760 --> 00:34:44.039
course you didn't. This is why you have very little

629
00:34:44.119 --> 00:34:46.599
to do with creation, and you just let us take

630
00:34:46.639 --> 00:34:51.199
care of it because y'all cannot handle it. But that's

631
00:34:51.199 --> 00:34:53.679
pretty much this play is this back and forth between

632
00:34:53.719 --> 00:34:57.639
them of you know, what has Victor done and the

633
00:34:57.800 --> 00:35:01.920
other characters as they discover what he is done, you know,

634
00:35:02.039 --> 00:35:05.920
kind of discussing the morality of it and the implications

635
00:35:05.920 --> 00:35:08.840
of that kind of science, and so it's just a

636
00:35:08.880 --> 00:35:11.960
really fascinating production. So check that out on YouTube.

637
00:35:12.039 --> 00:35:14.079
That sounds amazing. I'm definitely gonna check that out. Thanks

638
00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:15.639
the Amber Angela.

639
00:35:15.679 --> 00:35:22.079
What about you, Young Frankenstein is my the brilliance of

640
00:35:22.440 --> 00:35:27.800
Gene Wilder and Melburk's coming together with that and uh,

641
00:35:28.360 --> 00:35:31.239
not just the story, but bringing us some amazing comedic

642
00:35:31.719 --> 00:35:34.519
female performances from Oh.

643
00:35:34.400 --> 00:35:39.320
My god, Madeline Cry, I mean be seen at the train.

644
00:35:40.400 --> 00:35:43.840
I die. I cannot even breathe.

645
00:35:44.159 --> 00:35:48.719
She was taken from us too soon, and then Chlorus

646
00:35:48.800 --> 00:35:52.679
Leachman of course, but now pretty much everyone on that

647
00:35:52.800 --> 00:35:53.360
film there.

648
00:35:53.480 --> 00:35:56.119
I hope they're all having a blast, uh where they

649
00:35:56.119 --> 00:35:58.559
are in heaven and having a lovely reunion.

650
00:35:59.480 --> 00:36:02.519
You just can't, mel Brooks, just yet, not.

651
00:36:05.440 --> 00:36:08.800
Just yeah, yes we need yeah, Spaceball's number two.

652
00:36:08.880 --> 00:36:10.559
Yes, this is so what's gonna heal the world?

653
00:36:10.559 --> 00:36:13.320
I'm dying to search for more money. I can't wait,

654
00:36:13.360 --> 00:36:15.079
as like I will be in at the opening weekend

655
00:36:15.159 --> 00:36:18.280
for that. But yeah, just like she said, you you

656
00:36:18.360 --> 00:36:22.639
can only do an appropriate and perfect parody if you

657
00:36:22.760 --> 00:36:26.239
really know the material, and it was just fantastic.

658
00:36:26.400 --> 00:36:28.559
So that's my number one.

659
00:36:29.480 --> 00:36:34.320
I did put on Kenneth Browno's Mary Shelley's Frankenstein for

660
00:36:35.000 --> 00:36:37.880
just a couple of reasons, not that it's the best adaptation,

661
00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:42.039
because it's not. I I love Kenneth Brognant. I think

662
00:36:42.079 --> 00:36:44.280
he's he's a good director. I think he's a good

663
00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:49.159
uh a great actor. This particular version shows a little

664
00:36:49.199 --> 00:36:52.280
bit more of the romanticism of it, I think, you know,

665
00:36:52.400 --> 00:36:58.159
especially with him and Elizabeth sticking with that particular storyline.

666
00:36:58.320 --> 00:37:01.639
As you know in the book, it does tend to

667
00:37:01.639 --> 00:37:04.920
be a little bit more Shakespeare and melodramatic. I think

668
00:37:05.000 --> 00:37:12.000
Robert nindeerro was miscast as the monster yea, and the

669
00:37:12.039 --> 00:37:14.960
makeup of him as I mean, it was just I mean,

670
00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:16.599
I get your good trying to go for a shot,

671
00:37:16.679 --> 00:37:18.719
maybe shockguning gruesome, but it was just I don't know,

672
00:37:18.760 --> 00:37:21.639
I just think it was just I just didn't like it,

673
00:37:22.519 --> 00:37:24.880
because there's a way you can portray that without being

674
00:37:24.960 --> 00:37:28.360
so like you just didn't care with that needle and thread,

675
00:37:28.360 --> 00:37:32.519
did you victor life and and and and the parts

676
00:37:32.599 --> 00:37:37.840
you pick like I just laziness. AnyWho, So for that,

677
00:37:38.199 --> 00:37:41.679
I you know, and then it also kind of shows

678
00:37:41.679 --> 00:37:45.039
you know where uh, you know, the whole you know, uh,

679
00:37:45.159 --> 00:37:47.800
the monster kills Elizabeth and then you know, Kenn's like,

680
00:37:47.840 --> 00:37:49.719
oh well I can just you know, resurrect her now,

681
00:37:49.719 --> 00:37:53.639
and then showing that where she comes to realize what

682
00:37:53.800 --> 00:37:56.159
was done to her and what she decides to do.

683
00:37:56.159 --> 00:37:56.800
Because of that.

684
00:37:58.400 --> 00:38:01.360
So I I liked those parts of it. I think

685
00:38:01.440 --> 00:38:03.960
it's a good one at least. Nothing else to gauge

686
00:38:04.079 --> 00:38:07.960
the other version, the last one I put the first

687
00:38:08.039 --> 00:38:10.639
Frankenstein in nineteen thirty one, since that was the one

688
00:38:10.639 --> 00:38:12.960
that kind of started at all seeing you know, the

689
00:38:13.000 --> 00:38:18.679
Boris Karloff and that first kind of visual representation you know,

690
00:38:18.840 --> 00:38:21.360
of that that.

691
00:38:21.320 --> 00:38:25.400
Monster, you know, overlooking that understanding.

692
00:38:25.519 --> 00:38:27.079
It was made in nineteen thirty one, so you know,

693
00:38:27.119 --> 00:38:30.280
the acting there is a little bit camp and exaggerated, and.

694
00:38:31.920 --> 00:38:35.400
You know, obviously films have progressed since what.

695
00:38:37.280 --> 00:38:38.880
And then I know I'd already mentioned that, you know

696
00:38:38.920 --> 00:38:40.639
that the credit of her and that was.

697
00:38:40.599 --> 00:38:45.039
Just I'm like, oh my god, as missus Percy B.

698
00:38:45.199 --> 00:38:46.840
Shelley and not just Mary Shelley.

699
00:38:46.840 --> 00:38:51.039
I was like, ah, but I think those those three

700
00:38:52.039 --> 00:38:52.920
are good ones.

701
00:38:52.920 --> 00:38:56.400
To have egauge make engauge. Yeah, I agree. So I

702
00:38:56.400 --> 00:38:57.719
mean we're we're all three are going to be pretty

703
00:38:57.800 --> 00:39:00.440
much close to one another. My first one, obviously, I'm

704
00:39:00.480 --> 00:39:02.360
going to go with way Del Toro would go, and

705
00:39:02.440 --> 00:39:05.199
it would be the nineteen thirty one Frankenstein with Bori's

706
00:39:05.239 --> 00:39:08.599
call Off as the monster, Colin Clive May, Clark, John

707
00:39:08.599 --> 00:39:12.039
Bowles and of course directed by James Whale. That one

708
00:39:12.119 --> 00:39:15.760
set the standard for all of Frankenstein films up up

709
00:39:15.800 --> 00:39:18.960
to this date, and it does so much at Del Toro,

710
00:39:19.320 --> 00:39:21.480
you know, obviously grew up with that. He saw it

711
00:39:21.519 --> 00:39:23.360
in the theaters over and over and he fell in

712
00:39:23.400 --> 00:39:25.599
love with it, which is why we got the Frankenstein

713
00:39:25.639 --> 00:39:28.280
that we get today is because of that film. So

714
00:39:28.320 --> 00:39:31.519
you have to give that one. It's nod Amber. I

715
00:39:31.519 --> 00:39:34.360
agree with you. The nineteen thirty five Bride of Frankenstein.

716
00:39:35.039 --> 00:39:39.199
You get more of Boris Karloff, which I love him

717
00:39:39.280 --> 00:39:41.559
as Frankenstein. That's what I watched when I was a

718
00:39:41.559 --> 00:39:42.960
little kid growing up, you know. I mean, I know

719
00:39:43.039 --> 00:39:45.000
they were still really old, you know when I was

720
00:39:45.000 --> 00:39:48.599
growing up, but I fell in love with that Frankenstein.

721
00:39:49.079 --> 00:39:51.360
But again, you got Colin Clive, You've got Elsa Lanchester

722
00:39:51.480 --> 00:39:56.239
in her incredible performance as Mary Walstoncroft Shelley. She was

723
00:39:56.360 --> 00:40:01.599
amazing in that film. Again directed by James Well, who

724
00:40:02.199 --> 00:40:03.960
you know, I think did such a great job with

725
00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:05.679
those two. And of course I have to agree with

726
00:40:05.719 --> 00:40:08.639
both of you on Young Frankenstein, come on putting on

727
00:40:08.679 --> 00:40:11.960
the Ritz. I'm telling you, just that scene in itself.

728
00:40:12.039 --> 00:40:15.880
I cry every time I watch it because it's so

729
00:40:16.000 --> 00:40:20.760
funny everybody, and I want to throw out, Oh my goodness.

730
00:40:21.280 --> 00:40:25.719
Marty Feldman, he was brilliant in that film and just

731
00:40:26.039 --> 00:40:28.800
as Igor. I mean, my god, wasn't your hump on

732
00:40:28.840 --> 00:40:33.159
the other side. It just it's just simple. Things in

733
00:40:33.199 --> 00:40:36.639
that movie were just so funny, and yeah, a shout

734
00:40:36.639 --> 00:40:40.639
out to Cloris Leachman. I loved her, Madeline Khan, you know,

735
00:40:40.920 --> 00:40:45.800
Terry Garr, everybody. Geene Wilder was perfect in that film.

736
00:40:46.039 --> 00:40:47.440
You know, I can't speak more than you two have

737
00:40:47.440 --> 00:40:50.679
already done. But those definitely are the three Frankenstein films

738
00:40:50.679 --> 00:40:54.159
that I would watch over and over and recommend to everybody,

739
00:40:54.320 --> 00:40:57.360
including this one that we just talked about in this episode.

740
00:40:57.519 --> 00:41:01.639
Mom and I will still kind of the monster finds

741
00:41:01.679 --> 00:41:09.400
Madeline con and she starts singing, Oh no, if you.

742
00:41:12.679 --> 00:41:14.719
So good, we still.

743
00:41:14.440 --> 00:41:15.679
Won't quote that, partners.

744
00:41:15.679 --> 00:41:17.639
You know, depending on what's going on in our lives

745
00:41:17.679 --> 00:41:19.679
or what we're talking about is somehow we can relate

746
00:41:19.719 --> 00:41:22.039
it to that, we bring.

747
00:41:21.719 --> 00:41:22.440
That up too.

748
00:41:22.639 --> 00:41:27.719
So yep, absolutely well, ladies, thank you so much for

749
00:41:27.800 --> 00:41:31.679
joining me for this podcast. It has been exactly what

750
00:41:31.719 --> 00:41:32.480
I expected to be.

751
00:41:36.400 --> 00:41:39.559
Hopefully it was you know, was it too much?

752
00:41:40.000 --> 00:41:42.840
No, not at all, You too were both perfect. Thank

753
00:41:42.880 --> 00:41:45.559
you so much for that. I knew what I was

754
00:41:45.599 --> 00:41:48.400
getting into, and I'm glad that's why I wanted you

755
00:41:48.480 --> 00:41:52.039
too with me to talk about this film. And Amber,

756
00:41:52.079 --> 00:41:54.119
I owe you apology when I rolled my eyes saying

757
00:41:54.119 --> 00:41:56.519
when you said it was a brilliant film that it

758
00:41:56.559 --> 00:42:00.400
was a masterpiece before I watched it, because you're absolutely correct,

759
00:42:00.480 --> 00:42:01.760
it is a masterpiece.

760
00:42:02.480 --> 00:42:04.920
They don't call me the voice of reason for not.

761
00:42:06.920 --> 00:42:10.519
And I'll say one more thing about like I you know,

762
00:42:10.679 --> 00:42:13.079
usually watch things just you know, either you know, comedic,

763
00:42:13.159 --> 00:42:15.440
you know, because of my my hectic work schedule and

764
00:42:15.440 --> 00:42:17.519
and and what I do for a living, and so

765
00:42:17.639 --> 00:42:19.400
you know, usually I go to like comedic stuff or

766
00:42:19.400 --> 00:42:21.760
I'm usually always like super serious like drama stuff because

767
00:42:21.800 --> 00:42:28.880
I I'm weird. But what I really loved, besides all

768
00:42:28.920 --> 00:42:31.159
the things that we've talked about with this film, was

769
00:42:31.280 --> 00:42:35.599
that even in that chaotic life and in the schedule

770
00:42:35.639 --> 00:42:38.000
that it's hard for me to really connect with something

771
00:42:38.039 --> 00:42:41.000
to really allow me to feel like all the things

772
00:42:41.000 --> 00:42:45.119
that sometimes I don't give myself time to do. This

773
00:42:46.000 --> 00:42:49.639
really helped like with that, Like I from the moment

774
00:42:49.679 --> 00:42:52.639
it started, so even long after an inn and I

775
00:42:52.760 --> 00:42:54.519
was you know, I was listening to like the soundtrack

776
00:42:55.840 --> 00:42:59.000
you know, online just you know, all those things that

777
00:42:59.000 --> 00:43:00.719
I maybe not be able to dress like day and

778
00:43:00.760 --> 00:43:03.039
I but all the bet more better for it.

779
00:43:03.039 --> 00:43:04.599
I know, I'm kind of like babbling here with.

780
00:43:04.840 --> 00:43:08.159
But definitely something that you really want to feel you're invested.

781
00:43:08.360 --> 00:43:11.079
I mean, you're just it was it was.

782
00:43:11.280 --> 00:43:15.400
It gave quite a lot, and I really appreciate that part.

783
00:43:15.199 --> 00:43:17.599
You know, so absolutely well, You're your article was perfect.

784
00:43:17.760 --> 00:43:19.880
That's another reason why I wanted you on this one because.

785
00:43:19.719 --> 00:43:22.000
Of the article. And I'm like, I appreciate it.

786
00:43:22.519 --> 00:43:25.440
Getting Amber and Angela together is going to be fun.

787
00:43:25.480 --> 00:43:28.079
But you know, I know both your love your passion,

788
00:43:28.239 --> 00:43:30.639
so it's nice to have that together and talk about it.
