Maggie Gyllenhaal

And she's in it for two minutes.

And she doesn't speak at all.

And I started to think about this idea of the Bride of Frankenstein.

And, you know, well, then I went and read the book, which I had also never read.

And

And Frankenstein is so lovely in the book.

I mean, he does murder people and, you know... Light murder.

We all have a bad day.

No, but there is an aspect of exactly that where you read it and you're like, wait, I also feel lots of rage and violence sometimes.

I don't murder people, but he's so human.

Like, he's so...

vulnerable.

He's so lonely in the book.

He's also super smart.

He literally hangs out in a barn next to some people speaking French and learns French in a couple days or like finds a suitcase of philosophy and like, you know, reads it and then is into philosophy.

He's a really great guy.

But he's so lonely.

So I thought, okay,

Fine.

A really lonely, like unbearably lonely, wonderful guy is trying to get another monster because no one else will be with him to be with him.
