     I bought this thinking it to be about the making of BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN. As it turns out, GAM is a study in frail humanity, played out in the life of director James Whale. The film pulls no punches, yet makes no judgements, nor did it make me want to judge Whale (played masterfully by Sir Ian McKellen), or any other character.

This one's not going in the buy-back bag; excellent film.
If it's true what they say, that GOD created us in His image, then why should we not love creating, and why should we not continue to do so, as carefully and ethically as we can, on whatever scale we're capable of?

     The choice is simple; refuse to create, and refuse to grow, or build, with care and love.
