Om Mani Padme Hum
Well, seriously, why not?
It's a moody, sombre cornerstone of gothic horror and... AND...
It's straight up revolutionary.
Frankenstein is, almost undoubtedly, the FIRST notable science fiction book.
Yes, Jules Verne was the first great sci-fi writer but the first draft of Frankenstein came out 20 years before Verne's first book.
It's a theme that has now become almost stale but which, at the time was fresh: we humans, though the power of intellect and progress, have created what we cannot understand or control. It's not a monster or force of nature from the outside world, but a threat from the deepest interior.
It has the integrity of suffering that can come from a writer who suffered, and Mary Shelly did. The book is said to have been inspired by a particularly grotesque and bloody late term miscarriage that almost killed Mary at the age of 15.
The book actually is better than any movie version I've ever seen. The "classic" Boris Karloff movie was a huge disappointment (I read the book a few years earlier) and the Kenneth Branagh was good but still not quite as good as the book. I usually dislike fiction written before the U.S. Civil War but Frankenstein was an exception.
Don't know why he like it allot, but it's a good book and he likes books. the film reminds me of the book slightly, in the way that he is created by louie and finished by him after a final confrontation
Who replaced John Mclane with an out and out *beep*
