Tell us why it had such meaning for you.
There's three parts of the movie.
There's the introduction.
Yes.
Then there's the story told pretty much from Dr. Frankenstein's point of view.
Mm-hmm.
And then the final part is told from the creature's point of view.
Yes.
I really wanted to read Mary Shelley's novel, which I've never read before speaking to you again.
Mm-hmm.
And I wasn't able to find the time to do it.
Yes.
I did, however, read your introduction to, like, I think it's a 2021 annotated version of your novel.
Mm-hmm.
But anyways, in Mary Shelley's original telling of the story, is there a chapter that's from the creature's point of view or is that just something you wanted to do?
I'm glad you said fairy tale.
Because that seems to me like the part from Dr. Frankenstein's point of view, you know, has elements of like horror film and monster film.
But the second part, it's set in the woods.
It's like a fairy tale.
Yeah.
