artemisdartI just got home from watching Oscar Isaac in Frankenstein... it was a really intense experience. This was, by far, the best translation of the story to film that I have ever seen. They changed some things about the book, but they captured the heart of the story so well.
The violence was really intense, and I had to look away multiple times; the costuming and sets were absolutely divine; the acting was world class. I loved it... although, as everyone should know by now, it's a very bleak story.
I adore Oscar Isaac, but he made me hate his character. A vile, repulsive, self-centered man -- a sociopath, in fact. I was happy to see him die.
(Don't take it personally Oscar -- I love you!! Your acting was amazeballs)
People in the theater were gasping and cringing at parts that they clearly didn't see coming... and, I mean, it's been out for over 200 years, so I kind of feel like they should know this story does NOT have a happy ending...
It was really, really good. I will be seeing screencaps and gifs of this for the next year, at least.
