“Hello, I'm Guillermo del Toro, director of “Frankenstein.” “Life!” We're at a disciplinary hearing for Victor at the Royal College of Medicine in Edinburgh. And watch out for that little ball. I filmed this while Victor was narrating his past. So it's idealized just as he remembers it. He remembers himself as the hero and he remembers himself to get everyone's attention. The red ball is a symbol of his mother's death and his quest for immortality. The color red de la película sí. Presentamos a Harlander a través de estos zapatos dorados y la rudeza de sus modales. Este es interpretado por Christoph Waltz y él financiará a Victor. Esta escena estaba destinada a ser filmada, siempre deambulando, buscando a Víctor. “Ahora ahí está el desafío”. “Esa debería ser nuestra preocupación”. “Debería serlo”. Libero la cámara. Hago que siga las cosas. Lo hago subir en una grúa como esta. Es como si estuviera dando un pequeño concierto. Lo hemos vestido muy parecido a una estrella de rock con una camisa de vuelo y el rojo de la corbata. Ésa es nuevamente la búsqueda de la inmortalidad. Y su madre. Las baterías. Los presentamos aquí. Se trata de baterías rojas que se convertirán en clave para la resurrección del cuerpo de la criatura y su experimento. Y la idea era hacerlo muy parecido a un tribunal. El símbolo de la película que rodea constantemente a Víctor es un círculo. Entonces el teatro tiene forma de círculo. Hay ventanas circulares, etcétera porque tiene una narrativa circular que se abre y termina en the Frozen North Now, I thought this was a really good way to demonstrate not only the stitching technique, but also a little preview of what the creature would look like. We do it through this anatomical set and some of the anatomical waxes in Victor's apartment. This is completely analog. I love this moment. the creature comes to life. And as I said, this is completely a puppet. Behind it there are puppeteers with a blue screen and there is a radio control and a cable control. And now, Victor, the way in which Oscar Isaac plays him, and the way in which we dress him, was intended to evoke a bohemian from the 60s. Little by little we will introduce a wide-brimmed hat, bell-bottoms, high-heeled boots that recall the anti-system that he intends to represent, the progress in his character. “Are you sure?” This capture, by the way, is completely real. He was caught by the puppeteers and a puppeteer was manipulating the head; another, the hand, and the way they interact is beautiful. Victor, and the way he set the scene, he moves, but he moves around a completely still courtroom. So for a while he gets them to sit still and judge him harshly. And then the battle comes to the arena. “Why not quantify it?” “This is ungodly!” And Víctor uses the ball again. He's used it to send points back and forth to the judges. And when they invoke God, he loses his patience and throws the ball. And there's a beautiful shot where Harlander captures it. And that is the change of perspective. Harlander will have the ball with him when he visits him in his lab. And I think the great thing about this scene is that it establishes at once Victor's quest, his intentions, his temperament, and the absolute lack of uncertainty that every tyrant, every villain really has. And he considers himself a victim.
