No one was backing him; he was all on his own. Everyone wanted to kill
him — various gangsters in the nineties — but they couldn’t. Everyone
wanted to put him in jail, but it never happened. He had piles of money,
and no one understood where it came from. Everything he did succeeded,
and he was as if “untouchable.” “You,” he said, “reminded me of that.”
He even seemed to get frightened by the fact that I am like that, and
that man was the same way.
And you know what else is interesting, the reason I am telling all of this?
Yesterday, before bed, I watched the movie Frankenstein — the 2025 version
that just came out on Netflix. It’s a superb film; I haven’t even finished it
yet because it’s quite long and I fell asleep, but it’s very good. Why? Because
I love movies like The Illusionist, The Prestige, and Perfume: The Story
of a Murderer, and it’s in that same style — it’s great. Plus, there’s a scientist,
research, and all these philosophical moments. Naturally, you understand
that Victor Frankenstein is a world-famous work with countless adaptations,
and in this one, the actors played their parts brilliantly. The atmosphere
is crazy, and there is a very interesting, deep philosophical layer to it.
Victor Frankenstein creates the monster. This monster, while wandering
alone through the forests, finds a refuge — a farm — and settles there under
a mill, hiding, because if people see him, especially hunters, they try to kill
him. Everyone is afraid of him and wants to kill him because he is a monster.
But this monster is innocent, like a child; he knows no evil or anything
bad, he cannot speak, yet he looks like a monster because he was made
from various parts of human corpses. What happens next? This monster
lives on the farm where a family of farmers and hunters lives, but he
never shows himself. He hides constantly but begins to help them.
Sometimes he gathers firewood; sometimes he helps with construction.
He does all of this at night, and they see the results every morning. They
began to believe that it was a Spirit of the Forest helping them. In return,
they started leaving food and clothes outside for this Spirit of the
Forest — essentially, for the monster. And the monster used these
things and was happy to have found at least some kind of friends. Now,
look at how beautifully this is shown: the monster physically exists —
he is, in quotes, a “person” who helps you without showing himself.
