I didn't know enough about Mary's and Shelley's first wife's life to spot any changes though I'm sure that you will. I do hope the film doesn't play so fast and loose with the facts that it spoils your enjoyment. It would be a clear pity if it turns out that way as I maintain it's a far, far better film than nearly all the reviews I've seen say it is.<br />I'd venture to say that most of today's cinemagoers won't have heard of the woman - and it's a surefire bet that very few will have read 'Frankenstein' (naturally, I have - about 30 years ago, I think). But she's an intriguing character and, in my opinion, gets a big-screen treatment of full worth here where she's right at the centre. Good luck with your viewing of it.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-40985720855710612982018-07-11T01:23:19.572-07:002018-07-11T01:23:19.572-07:00I have been looking forward to seeing this film ha...I have been looking forward to seeing this film having an interest in Mary Shelley's life and I did quite a bit of research quite recently, coincidentally, into her life and that of Percy Shelley and his first wife. I hope I am not going to be disappointed in points of fact going off piste so to speak. I have been disappointed by the reviews but encouraged by yours.

Fanning in particular giving credible flesh and bones to an historical figure who has always lurked somewhat in the background, overshadowed by her illustrious contemporaries. This film gets her out there - at last.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-76274081710211944222018-07-10T21:10:38.144-07:002018-07-10T21:10:38.144-07:00And it's well deserved, JayGee.
