Love these mini-docs of yours. I only heard about Cronos recently with IGN coverage of Del Toro's films from his beginnings. This makes me even more interested in watching.
I've never seen this movie. But now it seems a monster can kill a entire town and then say there a victim because "humans do ______" 🙄 Like super hero movies where the villains keep escaping prison. One thing I find hypocritical of fantasy like the Witcher is how it'll say it's morally gray but then show humans as irredeemably evil and give all the redeemable qualities the monsters who have shown 0 redeeming qualities.
I can see that point but in this film Jesus never harms anyone but himself and the men after him who attacked him before he even became a vampire. Can’t have a view on a film you haven’t seen. Especially one that totally subverts the idea of a vampire film. Also monsters are used to show mans hubris and ignorance, they’re a reflection of the “other” that we see in ourselves at times. There’s definitely a healthy balance of both monsters being the victim and monsters being the monster. A LOT of films tackle that.
@@omn8612 Yeah. I don't mind some monsters and humans being good or bad on a individual level like Devil May Cry. But shows like October Faction on Netflix make no-sense to me. The main villain who's a witch with some form of blood magic. Kills multiple people and shows 0 redeemable qualities until she meets the two twin main characters and tells them a sob story of how monster hunters destroyed her town. But she mostly caused every bad thing to happen in the story. But all is forgiven by the end.
