Guillermo del Toro

Yes.

That was very important to me, that the three chapters were very distinct in style and very distinct in energy.

The camera work is very different.

The color palette is very different.

And I think that I would say, having seen most every version of Frankenstein on film, this is very unique.

The scale of the movie, both being epic and intimate, is very unique.

But the fairytale breadth

And the parable, it feels like a parable of the prodigal father, I'd say, jokingly.

Yeah, that's a mistake that came from a play.

I think the parallels are very, very curious.

I triangulate the creature with Jesus and Pinocchio.

Yeah, no, that's completely original.

That's original?

Yes.

To me, the myths are very related.

The two biggest mysteries in the Bible for me growing up, and I am a lapsed Catholic, but the two mysteries were the book of Job, in which man questions God, why do bad things happen to good people?

And the answer, basically, of God is, why not?

Well, that's the way God put it.

He says, who are you to question my wisdom?

You were not there when I created the world, basically.
