Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Gods and Monsters is a 1998 film written and directed by Bill Condon which offers a semi-fictionalized account of James Whale (a film director of the 1930s and '40s, best known for such Universal Horror classics as Frankenstein and The Invisible Man) in the final days of his life. It was adapted from Christopher Bram's 1995 novel Father of Frankenstein.Having recently suffered a stroke, Whale (Ian McKellen) is slowly losing his mind; unable to concentrate and often lost in his dark and hedonistic past. Out of boredom he starts sketching his gardener (Brendan Fraser), while he is also enjoying the *ahem* view. See, James Whale was gay, openly so, and a large portion of the film focuses on what it was like to be a gay man at the turn of the 20th century.It received a large amount of praise and won an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay (and was nominated for two others).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }) | |

| Gods and Monsters / int_48d94bb8 | comment |
Creator Backlash: An in-universe example, as Whale is fed up with only being remembered as the man who brought the world Frankenstein. | |

Driven to Suicide | |
| Gods and Monsters / int_6d332aea | comment |
Driven to Suicide: Whale at the end of the film; that, at least, happened in real life too. | |

Double Standard: Rape, Male on Male | |
| Gods and Monsters / int_ecd78a30 | comment |
Double Standard: Rape, Male on Male: Mostly averted, when Whale sexually assaults Boone it is treated very seriously. It still leads to Easily Forgiven, though, when it becomes clear Whale was attempting suicide. | |

All Gays are Promiscuous | |
| Gods and Monsters / int_fed441ad | comment |
All Gays Are Promiscuous: Whale is depicted as this, having pool parties filled with young men, and it's heavily implied that such an event caused his stroke in the first place. He is also all over Boone, but that's more of a long-term ploy than this trope...maybe. | |
