I, Frankenstein Screencaps

I, Frankenstein Screencaps





















In 1795, Dr. Victor Frankenstein (Aden Young) creates a monster (Aaron Eckhart), a soulless creature patched together from corpses, and then rejects it. In a fit of rage, the creature kills Victor's wife Elizabeth (Virginie Le Brun) and Victor chases it to the Arctic to get revenge, but succumbs to the weather. The creature buries his creator and is then attacked by demons before being rescued by the gargoyles Ophir (Mahesh Jadu) and Keziah (Caitlin Stasey), who bring it before the gargoyle queen Lenore (Miranda Otto) and their commander Gideon (Jai Courtney). Lenore explains that they were created by the Archangel Michael to battle demons on Earth and protect humanity. They name the creature "Adam" and invite him to join them, but he declines and departs after being given weapons that allow him to "descend" demons (destroying their bodies and trapping their souls in Hell) as they have the symbol of the Gargoyle Order carved on them.
Throughout the centuries, Adam fends off the demons that pursue him. During a modern-day confrontation at a nightclub, a human police officer is killed. While Adam is summoned by the gargoyles once more, the demon Helek (Steve Mouzakis) reports that Adam is alive to his leader, the demon-prince Naberius (Bill Nighy), who is disguised as billionaire businessman Charles Wessex, and his right-hand man, Dekar (Kevin Grevioux). Wessex has employed scientist Terra Wade (Yvonne Strahovski) to conduct experiments with reanimated corpses, and sends a group of demons led by his most formidable warrior, Zuriel (Socratis Otto), to attack the gargoyles' cathedral and capture Adam so he can unlock the secret to giving life.
Before Lenore can punish Adam for the police officer's death, the cathedral is attacked, and Adam convinces Ophir to release him. In the ensuing battle, a number of gargoyles, including Ophir and Keziah, are "ascended" (returned to and trapped in Heaven) while Lenore is captured and brought to an abandoned theater. Adam and Gideon head there where Gideon exchanges Lenore for Victor Frankenstein's journal, containing the secrets of the experiment. Adam follows Zuriel to the Wessex Institute, where he learns that Naberius plans to recreate Frankenstein's experiment and create thousands of reanimated corpses as the souls of the descended demons will be able to return from Hell if they have soulless bodies to possess. Adam retrieves the journal and escapes and later confronts Terra before they are attacked by Zuriel. Adam manages to "descend" Zuriel.
Adam warns the remaining gargoyles of Naberius' plan and Lenore sends Gideon to kill him and retrieve the journal. After a violent fight, Adam is forced to "ascend" Gideon and then decides to burn Frankenstein's journal and destroy its secrets before the gargoyles come after him. Adam evades them, leading them to the Wessex Institute where they join battle with Naberius' demons, descending Dekar early in the fight. While the battle progresses, Adam ventures into the Institute to rescue Terra, who had been kidnapped by Naberius, who takes his true demonic form and activates the machine. Naberius overpowers Adam, and tries to have one of the demon spirits possess him, but Adam proves immune as he has grown his own soul. As the gargoyles attempt to stop the reanimated demons, Adam carves the symbol of the Gargoyle Order on Naberius, sanctifying his very body and utterly destroying it, descending Naberius alongside all the other demons in his army, and causing the entire building to collapse.
Recognizing Adam's bravery, Lenore rescues him and Terra and forgives Adam for Gideon's death. Adam retrieves his weapons. After bidding farewell to Terra, Adam departs to begin an immortal quest to protect the humans of the world and hunt demons for selfless reasons, the attitude that had earned him his soul in the first place. In so doing, he embraces his role and his true name of "Frankenstein".

黑魔女:沉睡魔咒 13件最黑心的象徵

轉載zimbio Ranking the 13 Most Goth Things About Maleficent
黑魔女:沉睡魔咒 13件最黑心的象徵
你的女朋友也一樣黑心嗎?



#13. 黑魔女的支配慾超強

#12. 黑魔女總是以"噓...噓"跟小嬰兒說話

#11. 黑魔女最好的朋友是烏鴉
#10. 黑魔女是孤兒

#9. 黑魔女講話總是跟詩人一樣

#8. 黑魔女愛上了不該愛的男人

#7. 愛讓黑魔女脆弱

#6. 因此黑魔女不相信真愛的吻

#5. 黑魔女想要復仇

#4. 黑魔女痛恨自己與眾不同

#3. 黑魔女的利牙寒光四射

#2. 黑魔女的牛角侵略性十足

#1. 黑魔女的翅膀是黑色的天使翅膀



Dark, brooding, and unapologetically vampy, Maleficent may be Disney's most goth character this side of Jack Skellington. Why else would Hot Topic have a clothing line dedicated to the new movie in which she stars?
So what, you ask, makes her goth? Let us count (and rank) the ways. [SPOILERS FOLLOW]
#13. She looks like a Dominatrix.
Especially when she's wearing what appear to be skin-tight vinyl pants near the end of the movie. And just like a truly powerful dom, she can destroy you with a withering look.
#12. She hisses at babies.
We bet Marilyn Manson does the same thing.
#11. Her best friend is a raven.
And his name is Diaval, a name that would fit right in with Circe Nightshade and Azrael Abyss on Goth Talk. He even looks goth in his human form.
#10. She's an orphan.
The better to understand loss, pain, and sadness.
#9. When she talks, it sounds like she's quoting Morrissey lyrics.
"You stole what was left of my heart. Now I am lost." — Maleficent
"I don't have much in my life, but take it, it's yours." — Morrissey
"I call on those who live in the shadows. Fight with me now!" — Maleficent
"Shoplifters of the world, unite and take over!" — Morrissey
"I had wings once, and they were strong. But they were stolen from me." — Maleficent
#8. She fell in love with the wrong boy.
Not only is it taboo for Maleficent to be fraternizing with a human, but she ends up falling for Stefan, a boy who would grow up to be a very dangerous man. As fans of goth staples like The Hunger can attest, it's always the ones you love who end up trying to kill you.
#7. Love made her vulnerable.
The Cure has had a long, successful career writing songs about the myriad ways love makes us vulnerable. Robert Smith's heartfelt lyric, "Oh I miss the kiss of treachery," could almost be Maleficent's own thoughts as she processes both her longing and her betrayal.
#6. So she doesn't believe in "True Love's Kiss."
After being maimed by the one who once offered her the gift of "True Love's Kiss," Maleficent mocks Stefan's empty words as she curses his daughter, decreeing that only "True Love's Kiss" will awaken Aurora after she falls into her sleep. She only left in the loophole because she doesn't believe "True Love's Kiss" exists. As Trent Reznor might say, "Gray would be the color if I had a heart."
#5. She wants revenge.
Which is literally the name of a band that brazenly borrows and steals from goth heroes Joy Division and New Order.
#4. She's hated for being different.
When the human King first wages war on the world of the fairies, it's never explained why. He simply feels threatened by creatures different from himself. Anyone who's ever walked around in full goth regalia knows exactly what it's like for people to automatically dislike you because you look different. Obviously wearing liquid eyeliner and teasing your hair is a little different than having wings and horns, but Maleficent certainly casts its title character's other-ness as a meaningful metaphor.
#3. Her teeth.
The envy of Fairuza Balk and Dracula both.
#2. Her horns.
The envy of Tim Curry in Legend.
#1. Her wings.
The most goth thing about Maleficent is those big, beautiful, black wings — even when she doesn't have them. Stefan renders Maleficent a fallen angel when he steals her wings. It's a powerful allusion to that most gothic of figures, Lucifer, whose fall as depicted in John Milton's Paradise Lost spawned the Satanic School of the Romantic poetry movement in the early 19th century. This school of poetry brought us the likes of Mary Shelley, who would write the gothic touchstone Frankenstein, and Lord Byron, for whom the term "Byronic Hero" was coined. Byronic Heroes are basically the most goth characters in 19th century literature, and Maleficent herself comes close to fitting the mold.
And when she gets them back? Even more powerful. The final image in the movie is Maleficent swirling through the clouds, and breaking through them, wings outspread in silhouette, a cinematic Dark Angel made real.
