Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein has been a story told time and time again. But there is something special about Guillermo del Toro’s adaptation of the novel. The creation of science-fiction itself has left many of us connecting more with his take on the Creature more than other adaptations. And rightfully so!
Jacob Elordi’s take on Frankenstein’s “monster” is one of the most caring and sweet portrayals of the Creature I have seen in cinema. Often, Frankenstein’s monster is the villain of the story. He’s terrifying, violent, and meant to be a…well, monster. What del Toro and Elordi did was make the Creature the victim in Victor’s (Oscar Isaac) world.
