This was certainly one of the more interesting films I watched this year. This is a fantastical adventure seen through the eyes of a child, or a child-like woman experiencing life as no one ever has before. The feminist messaging of the film (which pleasantly surprised me) also is explorative to put it lightly. The character arc of this Frankenstein-adapted character is fascinating, but at the same time a little dissapointing, at least for me. While the movie started out absolutely fantastic, I felt that the last third-ish of it lacked some of that quality. The quality in terms of the visuals and comedy never failed, as this is an impressively funny and beautiful movie. It has that kind of satirical humor that is just perfectly funny most of the time. The visuals speak for themselves, just watch the film yourself. The characters are just as colorful as the screen, with the protagonist being surronded by several well-rounded characters that all keenly represent a different outlook on life itself. The real culprit of my dissallusion with the story is the story itself. I was fully bought into the idea of a newly-created person experiencing life for most of the film, as Emma Stone does an incredible job making that character come to life. Bella's character arc is great in the beginning, and perfectly believable as far as "this person has no idea what anything is" goes. However, I think the writers went too far in a particular direction, one that maybe went a bit too far into the new feminist wave, although who am I to judge. Even disregarding that aspect of her character, it just seems like Bella disregards the emotions of everyone around her in a peculiar way. There is plenty of evidence of her compassion and empathy at some points, but at others she just seems to not care. There is just a lot of convoluted things she does that seem to go against her character. And, despite her kindness towards strangers, she straight up kills a man. (not that he didn't entirely deserve it, this is less of an issue than the other points I made, just seemed out of place in a film about a person finding out what it means to be human.) Anyway, despite its faults, this is an unique take of one of the more interesting pieces of fiction ever created, and an incredibly entertaining watch.
