Whereas what I love about the book, but what I love about the book is someone has a nice life.

has a nice life I didn't find it boring I was like he's just a normal person he goes to university he's got a good family he's been loved there's been tragedy hang on hang on and then just trying to do something sort of accidentally finds this mad idea realises he could do it does it runs away from it and running away from the mistake the mistake follows you and goes you cannot run away from the fucking mistakes that you make and I found that instead of the showboating of the film it's like men are great I need you we're gonna build this huge castle and I was like fuck it

what the book is the smallness of it I love I love that it's just like the internal I thought I was just doing something without thinking about it I didn't think of the consequences I didn't think of like I'm a teenager and I didn't think this would ruin my life and that's why the Justine thing broke my heart because it was like not only has it caused my agony when the monster this isn't a spoiler

come on it's old murders my brother then this peasant girl this servant girl is hung for this I found that like oh this is pure Victorian melodrama awful but even bigger than that because the important details in that are that he could have told the magistrate that

See, I didn't mind it in terms of plotting at that point.

I really minded later when he goes, oh, I'll go on honeymoon with you, Elizabeth.

And you're like...

This is the time.

Oh, absolutely.

And we all do.

Yeah, but I felt the film was like, well, your dad bullied you.

Your mum died in childbirth.

And he set here and your brother's perfect.

And I thought you've pushed our villain character.

So we know what he's going to do.

But I love that Mary Shelley's like, he's just a person like you, like me, who is from a nice family, goes to university and accidentally...

I don't understand why the monster had to be so big and disgusting.

You made it out of human parts.

Yeah, why are you just not human?

What giant is it used?
