This film is a tactile symphony of<br \/>sentiment and beauty, a reminder that his artistry is as much about texture as it is about story.<\/p>\n\n<p>The use of marble throughout is nothing short of masterful: cold, luminous, and elegant. It<br \/>evokes the making of a Greek god, something divine trapped in stone, a sculptor trying to carve<br \/>life back into grief. It\u2019s in details like these that the film reveals its true power. As del Toro himself<br \/>noted, and as I had picked up while watching, the only thing Victor ever drinks is milk. Easy to<br \/>overlook, devastating once understood. It\u2019s his quiet yearning for the mother he lost, an infantile<br \/>grasp for comfort he can no longer name.<\/p>\n\n<p>Then there\u2019s the haunting repetition of red: Mia Goth\u2019s necklace and hair echoing the color of<br \/>Victor\u2019s mother\u2019s dress. A thread binding life to loss. In del Toro\u2019s language, red is tragedy; red<br \/>is the violation of innocence. A prophecy. A stain. A warning.<\/p>\n\n<p>In many ways, Frankenstein is the spiritual sibling of Pinocchio. Both are stories of men who<br \/>wish to outwit God by creating life. In his hands, these myths become meditations on faith. His<br \/>worlds are cathedrals built for heretics, and his monsters are the ones who pray most sincerely.<br \/>Visually, Frankenstein perfects what Crimson Peak began. The opulent gothic architecture, the<br \/>decadence of costume and candlelight. Everything returns, but sharpened, refined, reverent.<br \/>And like Pan\u2019s Labyrinth, this film understands innocence as something fragile, something<br \/>hunted. Ofelia and the creature share a spiritual lineage: both are gentle beings ensnared by the<br \/>cruelties of others.<\/p>\n\n<p>Then comes the philosophical spine of the film, the question of who is the true monster, which<br \/>del Toro frames like the Liar Paradox. Victor presents himself as a rational creator, yet his hubris<br \/>and refusal to take responsibility render him morally monstrous. His creature, meanwhile, is<br \/>marked as a monster for its appearance, though it shows more empathy and moral clarity than<br \/>its maker. Any assertion about monstrosity collapses into contradiction. To call Victor the<br \/>monster overlooks the creature\u2019s suffering and agency; to call the creature the monster ignores<br \/>Victor\u2019s culpability. Del Toro blurs these boundaries, suggesting that monstrosity is not inherent<br \/>but relational. Creator and creation mirror each other\u2019s failures. Identity, like truth, becomes<br \/>unstable.<\/p>\n\n<p>People are understandably upset that Frankenstein isn\u2019t a 1:1 adaptation of Mary Shelley\u2019s<br \/>novel. I get it. The original text is sacred to many, a cornerstone of gothic literature and a<br \/>philosophical inquiry into creation, responsibility, and monstrosity. But at the same time, it\u2019s an<br \/>adaptation. Cinema has always taken liberties. Sometimes it works spectacularly (Jurassic Park<br \/>barely resembles Crichton\u2019s novel and yet is a masterpiece), and sometimes it absolutely<br \/>doesn\u2019t (I Am Legend comes to mind, a brilliant book flattened into a completely different<br \/>message on screen).<\/p>\n\n<p>But do I think Guillermo del Toro committed any injustice here? No. Not even close. The central<br \/>themes: parenthood, abandonment, the consequences of neglect, the hubris of creation without<br \/>compassion, remain intact. If anything, he refracts them through new lenses without ever<br \/>breaking their essence. And yes, at times the film is more on-the-nose than Shelley\u2019s slow,<br \/>epistolary dread. But people do, and always will, miss the point unless you carve it clearly into<br \/>the marble.<\/p>\n\n<p>In comparison to other attempts at adapting Frankenstein, del Toro\u2019s version does the monster<br \/>right. Too often, the creature is reduced to either a terrifying brute or a mere curiosity; here, he is<br \/>fully realized, empathetic, morally aware, and heartbreakingly human in his suffering. The film<br \/>allows the audience to see him as both creation and person, a living reflection of Victor\u2019s<br \/>failures, rather than a simple horror trope. In this, del Toro surpasses many earlier adaptations,<br \/>honoring Shelley\u2019s complex vision while giving it a fresh, emotionally resonant life on screen.<br \/>Ultimately, del Toro honours the spirit of Frankenstein even as he reshapes its body. That, to<br \/>me, is the mark of a successful adaptation<\/p>\n\n<p><em>Featured Image courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@mucky\">Le Mucky<\/a> via <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/a-church-steeple-with-a-cross-on-top-of-it-djFLTxn872Q\">Unsplash<\/a>.
