IMDB: 6
Cast: Daniel Radcliffe (as Igor), James McAvoy (as Victor Frankenstein)
The movie is based on Marry Shelley's "Frankenstein" novel. The story of Dr. Frankenstein is well known. In this movie, the unknown parts of the story has been told. Not only Frankenstein but the partner of him, Igor, has a major role in the story. It all starts with the story of a nameless hunchback that works in a circus. Works is not the right word. He's being tortured in front of people for fun. He doesn't know that he's being tortured because he never experienced kindness. If he disobeys, they lock him in an animal cage. The cage scene shows people's perspective about the hunchback. Still, it doesn't stop him from being a genius. He has to hide his intelligence and be trampled everyday to survive because that's the only way of living he knows. One day Victor Frankenstein comes to the circus and sees his medical talent. He helps the hunchback run away from the circus and gives him a name. Together, they work to achieve immortality. Frankenstein's reason to bring dead to life is because he believes he killed his own brother and feels like he owes this to him. The movie is based on his experiments.
Personal Thoughts: I watched the movie today and it was a good especially if you like sic-fi. Of course I loved the character of Frankenstein because of James McAvoy. He did a really good job. I realised he always has charismatic roles in the movies and it fits him. I first saw James McAvoy in "Becoming Jane" and I was literally in love with him. Last week I saw him on "X Men: Apocalypse" he was great on both of them. You should see those too. The thing I liked most about the movie was the scenes that Igor was a hunchback. It showed how they've valued him back then before he turned into the person he is. Also I always tend to find the circus scenes interesting. Maybe it's because of the idea of people coming together to entertain others. Igor was being beaten just to entertain them. Daniel Radcliffe did a good job on being the hunchback. His moves were so realistic. It really looked like he had a problem in his spine. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the movie:)
