I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Don't listen to the negative reviews
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
This film deserves more than 6.3 on IMDB. Douglas Booth and Fanning present two people who the audience may perhaps have preconceptions of their characters- without feeding to their expectations which results in two genuine characters both with flaws but both human as apposed to the figures history created out of them.
This is a masterpiece of a film. Since I first saw the film Frankenstein (1931) when I was five, I have tried to understand the story, but did not until I saw this film. Incisively and intuitively written, this film begins with a seeming support of all things ultra-liberal--free love, profligacy, drunkenness, drug use, and so on--while all the time building on the reality that those who delve into such lives are self-torturing fools. I rarely give 10s on IMDb, but this one deserves even more.
Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin is a teenage dreamer determined to make her mark on the world when she meets the dashing and brilliant poet Percy Shelley. So begins a torrid, bohemian love affair marked by both passion and personal tragedy that will transform Mary and fuel the writing of her Gothic masterwork. Imbued with the imaginative spirit of its heroine, Mary Shelley brings to life the world of a trailblazing woman who defied convention and channeled her innermost demons into a legend for the ages. Despite an amazing cast and Elle Fanning trying her best 'Mary Shelley' tells a story that is neither good or even remotely interesting at all. (0/10)
I love Frankenstein, one of my first novels I read when I was 12. One of the most interesting details about this is her author, a 18 years old lady named Mary. This films focus on her, and uses her story as an excuse to recreate the problematic situations of women two centuries ago. This is a real love story. I am not sure about how accurate it is but the essence and the message is totally necessary. May be the rithm is a Little slow and repetitive but it has an exquisite music, very good direction, good actors and very emotional and human message. Give this honest film a try.
