Victor Frankenstein	comment	Victor Frankenstein is a 2015 drama-horror-period film starring Daniel Radcliffe and James McAvoy, directed by Paul McGuigan and written by Max Landis. It is very loosely based on Mary Shelley's Frankenstein novel.It is the early 1860s in Victorian London. Igor Straussman is a hunchback who is rescued by Victor Frankenstein, and Igor becomes Victor's protÃ©gÃ©. Together, they engage in scientific research to discover the secret to immortality, but as Victor descends further and further into madness, their experiments lead to terrible and terrifying consequences.You can watch the more light-hearted USA trailer here and the darker, more serious UK trailer here.

Victor Frankenstein / int_113480b7	comment	Canon Foreigner: Igor doesn't exist in Mary Shelley's book. He's a Composite Character of Frankenstein (1931)'s hunchbacked Fritz, Son of Frankenstein's non-hunchbacked Dragon with an Agenda Ygor and Victor's level-headed partner Paul Krempe from The Curse of Frankenstein. Every character besides Victor and his father were created by the screenwriter. Henry Clerval is Victor's best friend in the book, but he's his brother in the film, dubbed as Henry Frankenstein.

While the actor is Older Than They Look when clean-shaven, he always grows a beard for roles which require him to diminish his boyish appearance, so it indicates that his character is meant to be in his early 30s.

(Although the fact that he lost the hump and clown make-up to become much hotter probably didn't hurt.)

Subverted in the case of Igor to Victor however, as although they become close and Victor is thrilled to have someone to share his research with, he's careful just how much of said research he shares and doesn't hesitate to hide things until he feels it's appropriate to reveal them. Victor also plays personal business very close to his flowery waistcoat, leaving Igor to figure out that his brother is dead.

Victor Frankenstein / int_26ac510e	type	Mythology Gag
Victor Frankenstein / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: To both Shelley's novel and the pop-culture image of Frankenstein as a whole. To the original novel: Victor starts off as a college student bored with his studies and colleagues. His father appears (although here a doctor rather than a magistrate) and is bothered by Victor's lack of focus on his schooling. To the Universal Horror films: Victor's brother is named Henry; in the films, Victor got an Adaptational Name Change to Henry Frankenstein. Igor says the words "Yes master" during the College presentation. This film's Igor, being a Composite Character of the first film's Fritz and the later, non-hunchbacked Ygor, isn't actually a hunchback. Rather, he has an untreated infection that makes him appear to be hunchbacked. Victor, an early 19th-centurynote Possibly late 18th century as the date on Robert Walton's letter's suggest. Swiss character in the book, is a Victorian-era Englishman, as he is in the films and almost every adaptation.note despite the fact that "stein" is not a traditional English name. Victor insists on giving the creature a flat-top skull. When asked why, he says, "Because I like it." The scene of disembodied eyes in a tank following a lit match is taken right from the Hammer Horror movie "The Revenge of Frankenstein". To the common popular confusion between Frankenstein and Frankenstein's Monster. Igor warns Victor that if he continues his plan, nobody will remember him, only the monster.

Victor Frankenstein / int_34082c59	comment	Wolverine Publicity: The story is told from Igor's perspective, yet James McAvoy has slightly more prominence than Daniel Radcliffe in the trailers, the theatrical posters◊ (see the image at the top of the page for the American version) and the old-fashioned alternate poster created by professional artist Ciara McAvoy. Moreover, the film was known as Igor for a time, but the title was later switched to Victor Frankenstein. Radcliffe is more famous than McAvoy (e.g. the former's IMDb STARmeter is almost always consistenly higher than the latter's), so it's unusual that the marketing department chose to give more focus on the less well-known actor.note The possible rationale may be that by 2015, Harry Potter (Radcliffe's most prominent role) was considered yesterday's news, and McAvoy's star was on the rise due to his prominence in two recent X-Men films.

Victor Frankenstein / int_43dc74d0	comment	Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Igor's gentle and docile nature juxtaposes Victor's more brusque and domineering personality. Whenever they have a disagreement, Igor tends to cave in to Victor's demands, but it's part of the former's Character Development to eventually learn to stand up to his overbearing friend. Igor is shown to be very caring and romantic during his courtship of Lorelei, but Victor considers the couple's relationship to be a harmful distraction to their scientific work. When Inspector Turpin threatens Victor and Igor with a gun in Victor's basement, an unarmed Victor is able to fight back and even manages to cripple Turpin when the latter loses his hand. The non-violent Igor, meanwhile, keeps his distance as he shouts out Victor's name in order to stop his friend from going too far (injuring a police officer is bad enough, and Igor certainly doesn't want Victor to become a cop killer).

Inspector Turpin works out what really happened at the circus with ease, despite the circus folk giving a biased version of the story. He quickly connects the circus case to whoever's been stealing animal parts, and from there pinpoints Frankenstein in a matter of weeks. He also recognises Igor despite having previously only seen a sketch of him in clown make up (which Frankenstein didn't seem to think the police could do), and when Frankenstein and Igor flee their London home, Turpin recognizes the family crest painted on the getaway coach as Finnegan's, allowing him to be in place in time for the finale.

Then he lets his passionate ideals get the better of his rational self and starts going slightly unhinged, to the point of breaking into Frankenstein's home without a warrant and pointing a gun in the man's face. By the end, however, he's still disgusted by Frankenstein, yet makes an attempt to reason with him, and even refuses to shoot through Frankenstein to hit the Creature, instead repeatedly telling him to get out of the way.

Thus we know that Victor, while not opposed to helping others, is rather callous, and Igor is very inspired when it comes to medical solutions. Turpin, having heard the Circus performers' (biased) account of a hunchback and an accomplice having robbed the circus and murdered a performer during their escape, quickly figures out the story is bunk and reconstructs what actually happened, showing that he's very, very good at police work. It is only later in the film that we discover his Fatal Flaw.

Victor Frankenstein / int_b07f4e17	type	Mooching Master
Victor Frankenstein / int_b07f4e17	comment	Mooching Master: Igor feels indebted to Victor for saving him from his miserable existence at the circus, removing the abnormal curvature in his back, and offering him an environment where he can further his interest in science. Victor takes advantage of his saviour role, and is sometimes manipulative and abusive towards Igor even though Victor becomes increasingly fond of his protÃ©gÃ©.

Victor Frankenstein / int_bcc92de7	comment	Lost Aesop: So, Victor trying to create life is a bad idea, and ends pretty horribly, but then Victor ends the film alive and hopeful for his next experiment, continuing the research, and nobody seems particularly worried about this. Perhaps the real aesop of the movie is to stand up for yourself and your friends and pursue your dreams, but don't go crazy in the process?

Also, Dr. Frankenstein fixes Igor's back, much like Frederick offered to do in the same movie. Igor's shaggy hair and make-up◊ at the circus closely resemble singer/songwriter Robert Smith's, and The Cure's "Never Enough" music video has a freak show theme. There is a large, round object in Frankenstein's basement that resembles the womb-like structure the Creature is born from in the 2011 theatre version.

Lorelei caught the eye of a closeted gay socialite who needed a beard. Igor, however, went from circus freak to scholarly socialite in one night due to a lanced abscess and a back brace, courtesy of Victor Frankenstein. Lorelei should probably consider her ascension a side effect; Igor visiting her at the hospital and bribing a nurse with a bit of Victor's money to give Lorelei a treatment plan he came up with himself.

Victor Frankenstein / int_d52d28b6	comment	Hypocrite: Victor Frankenstein has no respect or love for any men with positions of authority over him, due primarily to the death of his respected and beloved older brother. That event is implied to have soured his opinion of his distant father, and anybody who might remind him of his father (like, say, the professors of his university, or the Abrahamic God). He goes to great lengths to denounce all of these men, proclaiming that he is what he is, and not what they have made him to be. And yet, when he is in a position to exercise the same sort of authority over Igor and the Monster, he abuses them in exactly the same way he had been abused. It's only when he looks into the Monster's eyes and sees nothing that Victor realizes the depth of this error, and even then he's still trying to tell himself that he just got the science wrong.

Igor is Victor's equal in terms of his intelligence, so their master-servant dynamic is downplayed—the movie instead presents them as mentor and protÃ©gÃ©. Moreover, after Victor corrects Igor's crooked back, the latter looks completely normal.
