Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 кві 2018
- Opening in theaters May 25th and VOD June 1st
Directed by: Haifaa Al-Mansour
Starring: Elle Fanning, Maisie Williams, Bel Powley, Douglas Booth, Joanne Froggatt & Stephen Dillane
She will forever be remembered as the writer who gave the world Frankenstein. But the real life story of Mary Shelley-and the creation of her immortal monster-is nearly as fantastical as her fiction. Raised by a renowned philosopher father (Stephen Dillane) in 18th-century London, Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin (Elle Fanning) is a teenage dreamer determined to make her mark on the world when she meets the dashing and brilliant poet Percy Shelley (Douglas Booth). 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.

"No man chooses evil because it is evil; he only mistakes it for happiness"-Shelley
Great movie 💛
So profound.
I’m SO here for this!!! I’m so excited! Way back when we were reading Frankenstein in high school, I remember reading the biography in the front of the book about Mary’s life when I was supposed to be reading the book because I honestly found her life story far more interesting than the story itself. I remember feeling for Mary and all of her tragedies and thinking, “HER story needs to be made into a movie!” Glad to find out I wasn’t the only one thinking that :) makes sense that I would end up studying film after high school hahahaha
There have been SEVERAL adaptations of her life over the years:
Frankenstein:: The True Story (1973)
Gothic (1986)
Rowing With the Wind (1988) starring Hugh Grant no-less
It's Alive: The True Story of Frankenstein (1994)
Mary Shelley (2004)
Just to name a few....Enjoy! :)
lizzie i am watching this movie new i am from Romania i am big fan Maisie Williams this movie is very good I am happy watch it
Oh God I have never read the book but I have spent days reading her biography in Wikipedia along with that of Percy, her parents, sisters, Lord Byron... Her life was a true very complex novel!!! Sin, damnation, adultery, death, mental illness... The man have super complex life stories. It really touched my heart. I learned a lot on history and damnation through sin.
Ken Russell"s "Gothic" dealt with infamous haunted summer of 1816; this film looks to portray Mary Shelley's struggle to get the book published and to be recognized as the author. These events did occur. The 1988 film "Haunted Summer" with Eric Stoltz is worth a look.
This is a great movie about the Frankenstein's writer's Mary Shelley and once again Elle Fanning is perfect .. You should watch this one in theaters
I already know that if I watch this movie, I will adore Mary Shelley (the character)
My name is Shelley and I am named after these two authors. I can't wait to see this movie.
That is so cool!
LUCKY!!
I loved this movie. Elle Fanning has become an incredible actor!
Actress
I don't like her acting. Shelley's deserves a better representation.
@@valerieblackthorn13
Don't worry, I'm sure there would be quite a few adaptations like there always are.
A 16 yrs old teen girl invented the sci-fi genre. WOW!!!
She was 18 when she published but yeah. Awesome
Aaaahhhh Frankenstein..
@Zoe FangCan you please tell me have you read Frankenstein and what it is all about pleaseeee!!!!!🤗🤗🤗🤗💜💜💜💜🥺🥺🥺🥺
Mary Shelley looks like it will be a good film. Elle Fanning's English accent is spot on.
Well, I was excited about this until I saw that they were making Byron the villain...and he NEVER would have said that crap to her by the way. He was supportive of her publishing the book. She even said when she first met him that he was much more “gentle” and “mild” than she expected, so I have no idea what they’re attempting with this characterization, or casting for that matter.
Feminism, my friend.
I don't think they made Lord Byron the villain at all. In their first meeting in the movie he was pretty kind to Mary and when she left his house his words were of support. I mean, it is pretty coherent with what you just wrote. About the way he treated her sister, I don't think they were that unfair actually. You can see that even Mary didn't condem him that much.
He wrote to his friend John Cam Hobhouse on the eve of the publication of Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage, “Of all Bitches dead or alive a scribbling woman is the most canine”
Oh dear, I was reading his biography this week... I read that of Mary Shelley, Claire Clairmont, Harriet, Fanny Imlay, William Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft first, months ago.... And Lord Byron as his wife said was at times good and evil at others. Lord Byron committed many sins. Just as his father. That is why God chose to make him the villain. He was a lady's man and that was sinful. Not that Percy was any better. Percy did not take as many women but he made a lot of people suffer and even die because of his poor decision with Mary. He, like Byron, had a precipitated death. Lord Byron used to make married women fall for him. So he was not trustworthy person and that is why GOD made the producers make Byron the evil one, so you don't trust him as easily. He was super talented, a true genius. He needed to take the religious life. But when he was not busy working he had every affair possible with women and he also seemed to lust after some of his own gender. I also loved Byron a lot at first. But you can like a person and know he could be a danger. His wife was a very religious woman, she was a math genious and she did not know how to handle him. He was so nice to everyone but to his wife who chose him a sinner when she was the most religious lady ever. Alcohol play a great role in their soon separation or divorce. Ada Lovelace was his legitimate daughter. A lady with love for maths as her mother but also for poetry. A little rebellious like her father who she never met, her mom was always supervising her. He had an illegitimate child with Mary's sister Claire Clairmont who would die in her early childhood.
Byron raped Mary so yeah, he's a cunt
Well, well, well - well well, well! well well. This is my first time hearing of this and I have goosebumps.
Thanks for this. What a great help!
Looking forward to this one!
I'm guessing you left disappointed
Welp. Thought it would show a bit of Stephen Dillane, but it still looks good. 10/10 will watch
I was looking for him too, lol.
this actually looks quite nice, i'll be looking foward to it.
*i was born ready!!!*
Definitely want to check this out.
Amazing trailer. Will be waiting for it
Haunted Summer from 1988 is a good film if you want yarn about Byron and the Shelley's and John Polidori, the creator of the modern Vampire novel.
You might also want to watch Remando al viento, a 1988 Spanish movie with an English-speaking cast (a young Hugh Grant among others).
DOUGLAS BOOTH AHHH 😍❤️
This is very good movie I recomand i am very happy see this movie and ser Maisie Williams play othrr character i admire and i love Maisie very much she is great actress very talented
I know how great it is to let my imagination run wild, as I have doing things including telling stories my own way; just like Mary Shelley.
Looks interesting. I wasn't sure what to expect from the title, but this looks like a pretty good bio-drama.
sfighter00 did you watch? worth to watch or not?
It’s interesting that Mary Shelly’s life gets an adaptation but her novel has never been accurately adapted to the big screen.
Kenneth Branagh did a very faithful remake in 1994 with Robert de Niro as the Creature ... Being obsessed with the book since I was 17, I can vow that it is extremely accurate to Mary Shelley's novel ... Check it out, it was wonderful
@@princewhite71 Though I am largely disappointed in the film and feel that it did not get the haunting tone of the book- I will say that Frank Darabont wrote in one additional plot point that actually IMPROVES on the original story and that ofcourse is the climax of the Bride scene. Wrenching and I still shudder at that. Brilliant.
The novel is much more mediative and the characters are all more romantically tortured. The film is not for everyone. I found it to be a bit more belligerent and loud than the book- which I have revisited again and again. Still, I loved De Niro in there- that is certainly the ugliest monster and though he has scenes of heartbreaking emotion- which have more of the spirit of the original novel - they are too few. Writer, Frank Darabont disowned the film saying that Branagh made it into an awful version of what he wrote and that if you like the Film-"Branagh gets the roses- if not Branagh gets the spears." The book would be challenging to adapt for today's world I think. Its quite a build.
This better be good.
This looks really good.
Yes, yes, YES! So excited for this one.
Has anyone seen this yet and is it any good or is it out yet??
Some people did NOT see the movie, but they know all about it... Viva la Net!
I can't wait❤️👌
hahaha
Fun fact Mary Shelly’s in my family tree very far up though
Loved this movie. IFC always has the best stuff!
IOC always the best investment.
such good poetry drama ^_^ 😊
The is among the better biopics ever made. Highly underrated.
FYI, Byron came up with his idea for a vampire story on that same night, which eventually inspired Bram Stoker's Dracula.
Los fails de Vicky No, it was Byron. John Polidori was one of the guests at Lord Byron's estate, along with Percy Shelly and Mary Wollstonecraft, when they each began creating their own ghost stories. Lord Byron's vampire story was called Fragment of a Novel, which was the inspiration for Polidori's The Vampyre, which later inspired Bram Stoker's Dracula. And of course, Mary created Frankenstein that same night.
Beautiful as a Dream...
Akways i wanna suport Maisie Williams and i wanna love she
Douglas Booth is meeting all the Disney princesses.
Is this based on the the true story or have they added some fiction to it? ... I'm doing an assignment on the author so I want to know more about them
Just saw it, was ok if you like biography type movies. But, who made a boo boo? At the end of the movie it said, Claire's child died at the age of 10 but, I read else place that she was 5 when she died.
I like this trailer i am watching this movie new i am from Romania i am big fan Maisie Williams i see this is very good movie
Mary Shelly wrote Frankenstein while holed up during the mini ice age Europe was experiencing at the time - why are they showing warm, nice weather?
Because this is a movie not a documentary. Artistic freedom etc.
KeyBeeGlass Because she got the idea for Frankenstein during an absinthe-fueled night of debauchery at Lord Byron's castle where she and Percy were visiting.
What nice warm weather? All I saw was foggy days, and rain and storms at night. But they weren't in London, it was Lake Geneva in June (so no snow or ice), just a dreary summer without sun (thanks to the volcanic winter) which they seemed to portray well.
Also: Writing of “Frankenstein”
In 1816, dust from volcanic eruptions and the general chill of the Little Ice Age resulted in the famously frosty “year without a summer” across the Northern Hemisphere. Like many Europeans, teenage runaway Mary Shelley kept warm by huddling around a fire with her friends. One of them, the poet Lord Byron, encouraged his companions to write and share their own supernatural tales; Mary’s was published two years later as “Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus.”
Yes. Exactly. The 'volcanic winter' I referred to when there was no summer to be had that June. But it was still not London, nor covered in ice and heaps of snow.
It was bleak, rainy, and miserable, as the trailer shows. So I'm still not sure what hot sunny weather you saw, or why you were surprised by bleak and stormy.
Que filme maravilhoso!!💜👏👏

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SHIT AND I HAVE FOUND IT MY GOD
Wowww great !
such a wonderful movie! Have to watch it soo bad
Im here because of Robert Greene's book Law of Human Nature on Chapter 10, Beware of the Fragile Ego (Law of Envy) on "Fatal Friends"
Genial !
Voy a esperar la pelicula en argentina
Buenos aires
More of Maisie Williams!
#GOT
Maisieeee!!!!
any insight why the book was published under the name of Mary Shelley rather than a male pseudonym? (George Eliot, Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell.)
I just read Frankenstein (as part of school)
Movie wasnt in my cinemas....i see trailer...i already know all about her...thanks to Frankestein we know for her...maybe British know more....Elle is very talented like sister Dakota....i think she is too lovely to play Mary....who wasnt such a beauty....married young...died at 54....was great friend with lord Byron maybe more......and D Booth seems like playing always these men from the. Books of 19 century...here is her husband....played in C Dickens adaptations and so on....and people who dont know use the word Frankestein for someone who looks horrible(here where i live)...not knowing he was a doctor who created the Monster....that is a story. And more....
Oh, I hope they show the night of alcohol, absinthe, and debauchery at Lord Byron's castle like in Ken Russell's Gothic.
Hi! I'm the video producer for PlayGround, a Spanish media company. We would love to feature your video in an article to be released today. We will give full credit to you and also a link back to your channel. Thanks! ana.garcia@playgroundmag.net
Acabo de verla , una total desilusión , me puse a investigar la historia real y es mucho más interesante que lo que muestra la película .
Hmmm Elle fanning and Maisie Williams. I need to watch this in private....
Love this movie ❣️
WILL HERONDALE
Wait... are you saying that there’s a Clockwork live action and an irl Will Herondale?! What?! Where?!
where is he?
In Search of Frankenstein FINALLY became a movie! But it has bad reviews.
Gordon Franklin Terry lots of films get bad reviews but are really good. Besides ...have you seen some of the awful and boring crap they give awards out for ? I often find that critics overall actually have pretty shit taste
CARDANO TO THE MOON!!!! SHELLEY!!!
Is this worth watching?
Throw your reviews please
where in the movie did Godwin say “Don’t you recognize Victor Frankenstein?”
it’s in the trailer but not in the movie
One guy looks like pt barnoum
Ok trailer tell to much... I feel like I just watched the whole movie
elle fanning so cute, i wanna marry her
All The Best
Here to see Maisie
She is no one in here....
No ones gonna believe me but I'm actually related to Mary shelly
She wasn't blonde
They've already made this movie. It was called : Gothic'. It was better than this movie looks.
💙💜
Douglas booth is here 😍😍😍Nitika Jamwal
Lazy Girl I've been following him😂😂😍😍😍
The worlds first science fiction writer
First, but nowhere close to the best.
@@JNB0723 never said she was

It's all so far from the real people they were and their lives! Byron was not this crap weirdo nut, he never had any affair with her, he respected her as a woman and as a writer/powerful lady on her own, was close loyal supportive friend to her as he was to Shelly of course. He helped them in all ways. Shelley and B were never antagonists over anything, just different tempers and different life style choises. She wasn't played down by them, rather the opposite. Shelley was an ante litteram "feminist"!
0:42
Ken Russell already did this in "Gothic", just better.
BIGGEST MOOD
Dharzjinion ha! I wrote almost the she exact thing before I saw your comment. Agreed.
I agree...
I'm not sure how I feel about the assumption that she didn't share Percy and Byron's attitudes toward sex that summer, and would have been scandalized...
I think there is a difference between wanting to be with Shelly and wanting to have sex with a bunch of other people and being fine with your lover being with other people.
Depends what part of sexuality you're talking about; pre-martial sex she was pro, swinging no. Percy wanted them to have an open relationship, to the point of trying to get her to sleep with his friends, but she was never into it.
Having done some more reading on the topic, @purplecookiellamas is correct, and I retract my original statement. Her journals do back up her not being down to swing with Percy and his fellow romanticists.

"Suffused with a righteous feminist fire"? No thanks.
This movie is...

Good as it looks, just as depressing. Shelley was a great poet, but Mary was a better novelist. He couldn’t handle that. Not much has changed.
I think they are both very good at two different things. Shelley's romantic poems are hailed as some of the best poems of the entire subgenre. Mary also founded Science Fiction, and she created one of the most famous Monster franchises of all time (granted- the monster we see every Halloween is nothing like her depiction of the creature).
@@JNB0723 I agree; both were extraordinarily talented, and both left an indelible mark on their disciplines. But I think Shelley realized that he had reached the zenith of an established genre-while Mary had established an entirely new genre.
@@SaintVodou I agree. I am a bit biased towards Percy since I am a massive Romantic Era Poetry and Lit fan and love Percy Shelley, but I still respect Mary Shelley and Frankenstein (even though I love Romanticism).

NOTE: Directed by SAUDI WOMAN.. 🇸🇦
Wait Frankestein is a true story???
yep its crazy
Teen angst and hipsters playing dressup.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
It was kind of boring (I honestly don't know how they managed that considering how wild her life was) and the characters (ESPECIALLY Percy) felt weird and inaccurate. Go watch Gothic instead, it's awful but at least you can't say it's boring lmao
Wtf is this?
I don't really like Elle's line reading....
Awful, and not at all how it happened
Millenial hipster cringe.
Gay
Despite possibilities & with respect those exploited, but even from this trailer likely the film is disrespectful, revisionist, fouled, & utter tripe.
