the universal monster films are all character stories they are first and foremost character stories and our ability to sympathize with those monsters is what makes them special please meet Princess Dom Annette she will claim what she has been denied the audience only cares as much about the spectacle as they are invested in the characters that's it there's nothing else really and for me I tend to always need to understand the emotional line of whatever the characters are going through in order to understand why the movies relevant you know and if I can't connect what the characters are going through or who they are I have a very hard time watching the movie you know and audiences are too smart now you know it's rare that you can give them a sequence that feels like they haven't seen a version of it before we certainly endeavour to do that in mummy with things like the plane crash hi I'm Sam Frankie she hath my father's eyes and his nose I grew up with a lot of great straight character based films in the movie theater and it's rare that you get that experience now and it's a bummer that you don't get that experience now because part of what I loved about it was the communal experience films like that have now found a new place it either lives now on Netflix or you know in TV or it's a different kind of thing and every once in a while an amazing character movie will rise above the crowd and the world will see it and embrace it you've got to care about the characters first and foremost that's it that's the ball game
