Monster
is a modern day re-telling of Mary Shelleys Frankenstein.
Although a few themes from Frankenstein remain, (Bringing
the dead back to life) Monster is an entirely different
entity altogether.
Monster
deals with two brothers, one good and one bad. Paul,
the good brother, is a doctor who wants to do whats
right, try to heal the sick. Steve, the bad brother,
wants to do what he thinks is right, twisted experiments
trying to bring the dead back to life.
Steve
wants to show Paul what he can do, to prove to him that
he is capable of doing something seeing as Paul has
always been the more favored brother. Steve shows Paul
a re-animated hand he has been working on, his first
breakthrough in re-animation. Upon seeing what Steve
has done, Paul is disgusted and leaves, humiliated by
what Steve has become.
Seeing
that Paul will never agree with his vision, Steve knows
that he will have to proceed with plan B.
Plan
B involves hiring two lunatics to kill his brother
Paul and then Steve will bring him back to life, showing
him that re-animation of a human victim is possible.
Unfortunately
the to lunatics "cut him up too much"
and all Steve is left to work on is a disfigured piece
of flesh which looks nothing like the original Paul.
Through hours of work Steve is finally able to bring
Paul back to life, but what he brings back to life is
nothing like the old brother he once knew.
Confused
and angry, Paul the "Monster" destroys the
lab and leaves. Going back home and peering through
the window, the Monster gazes at his wife
knowing
she could never accept him in his new form, he flees
through the night and searches for the very thing that
destroyed him
the lunatics.
What
results is the final showdown between Steve, the Monster
and the lunatics and we are left wondering, who is the
Monster, the Monster itself or the men whove created
him?
