Gods and Monsters (1998)

🎬🧟‍♂️

Based on the Christopher Bram novel Father of Frankenstein, this period drama film from writer/director Bill Condon is a semi-fictionalized account of the final days of world-famous film director James Whale, known for directing the pre-Code horror film Frankenstein and its sequel Bride of Frankenstein in the 1930s.

A distinguished cast includes: Sir Ian McKellen as James Whale, Brendan Fraser as ex-Marine/gardener Clayton Boone (a fictitious character) and Lynn Redgrave as Hungarian housekeeper Hanna.

Ian McKellen (whose marvelous performance garnered an Oscar nomination for Best Actor) is one of the greatest thespians of our time who doesn’t disappoint in his startling portrayal of a dapper though ailing filmmaking legend. Brendan Fraser, typically known for his comedic chops, makes it crystal-clear that he is just as capable in dramatic roles. Lynn Redgrave (who, like Ian McKellen, received an Oscar nomination for her scintillating performance) is nothing short of extraordinary in the role of a devoted, albeit dour, caretaker.

The script (which won the Oscar for Beat Adapted Screenplay) is well-written in tackling the conflict of coming to terms with old age and diminished capacity. The film demonstrates this through flashbacks of James Whale’s working-class childhood, service in World War I and Old Hollywood glamour whilst experiencing mini-strokes and seizures.

In terms of observing the complicated friendship between a retired filmmaker and a young man with his whole life ahead of him, Mr. Whale takes a great interest in Clayton, the latter of whom is initially skeptical of his employer’s homosexual desires. However, despite the separation of sexual orientation, this uneasy yet poignant connection changes both their lives forever.

Bill Condon’s creative direction allows him to visually convey the real and imagined sensibilities of James Whale, whose flair for horror left an indelible mark on the film industry. Although warm reception of the British in Hollywood was customary during the talkie era, James Whale’s open gayness was the subject of controversial debate in a civilized yet closeted society. Through his declining health, Mr. Whale views Clayton as a guy whose God-like physique stands out from the other young men in his life. What’s more, he sees Clayton as his own monster of Frankenstein, specifically one that could give him the perfect ending to his latest drama. Clayton, who had been disillusioned about his future after being discharged from the Marines, achieves a newfound sense of hope through his admiration for James Whale’s artistic talent.

Lastly, the finer details of the film may be fabricated, but there are definitely interwoven truths about the story of James Whale’s life. All in all, I certainly recommend this hidden gem of a movie to every Ian McKellen/Universal Monsters fan.

“To a new world of gods and monsters!”

-Dr. Pretorius (Bride of Frankenstein)

Just a couple of things from my life...

It's really lovely to be the person your friends know can be relied on to be able to throw on an evening gown and join them for last minute plans. Life sincerely can get more magical as you get older if you surround yourself with kind people. My friend, Victoria, texted me as I was getting home from work last night: "how fast can you get to the Magic Castle?" and invited me to join her team for an evening out which included dinner & a sceance - two parts of the Castle I haven't been able to experience before! Worth getting dressed in a hurry for! Got myself out the door in under 30 mins - which, considering I had to tear apart my room to get at my evening gown storage and put on a full face of make up, was impressive!

I finally have posters hanging on the walls of my office - an ode to 90s nostalgia! Celebrating the Brenaissance and swapping warrior woman teams for brand loyalty (from Wondy to Xena - Warner Bros to Universal). The Mummy poster was such a bear to get! First I was sent a One Direction poster. Then a scammy, blurry, unusable poster. And FINALLY a proper poster! Xena was unopened since the 90s, but unfortuantely some water got into the wrap anyway, so she's got a bit of damage, but still cool.

Anyway... Los Angeles is pretty wonderful these days and I'm so happy I moved out here.

Just want to share this here real quick.

Megacon happened during May 19th - 22nd. They had a lot of guests invited : Nathan Fillion, the cast of LOTR, The Undertaker, Matthew Lewis, Giancarlo Esposito, etc. . But the main guest that I was excited to see was Brendan Fraser.

He was scheduled to appear last year’s con but due to conflict in schedule, he had to cancel. But for this year, he showed up ❤️

At first he was only scheduled to appear Saturday, but due to changes, he came in Saturday & Sunday. I was so happy because his Saturday photos were sold out. I immediately bought a photo op for Sunday when he added that day. His autograph was sold out too but wait…

I was on the 3rd floor when I got the call saying they opened up his line to everyone and only takes cash payment. I honestly didn’t know I can run and withdraw that fast.

So yeah, when I was in line, I’m already practicing the speech. I know that they’re rushing everyone, so I want to keep it short. When it was my turn, I honestly couldn’t believe that I didn’t stutter. I met other actors and sometimes, I couldn’t even say anything. But with Brendan, it was different. He even held my hand when I was talking to him. He is such a gentle human being. So nice and very sweet.

I would definitely try to meet him again when he’s in the city. He deserves all the love in the world.

Currently watching The Mummy. We're narrating and commenting on it as if it's a DND game.

"I shoot the sand." - "It's sand." - "I SHOOT THE SAND!"

"I shoot the mirror... Nat 20." - "Alright you light up the entire cave."
