I think the lasting impact of Frankenstein as a work of the gothic, a work of horror, and a work of science fiction, is that Shelley dramatizes so elegantly the interconnectedness of scientific invention with ambition and emotion.

Sensuality, longing, and love in spite of oppression. Risqué, playful, funny, and really tender. Also kind of a sad reminder that genuine romance and sexual connection is that much rarer in most contemporary American movies. The sexual tension is felt in the most mundane moments, which is maybe part of what really makes sex and love so fun. You can feel it anywhere; share it anywhere. A reminder that resistance isn’t only found in action, in defense, in perseverance; it’s also found in love.

The Batman 2022

Now I hear all…Translated from by
