An example of modern day Frankenstein would be in the movie Ex Machina. This movie, which released in 2015, details about a man named Nathan Bateman, who is a CEO of a software company, along with being a genius. Bateman, who has locked himself away in his remote home. Bateman reveals that he has been trying to create an AI as close to a human as possible, therefore creating artificial life. As this was a more modern take on the story of Frankenstein it modernized lots of the parts of the movie. For example when it took the creation of life, it was no longer creating a human, but creating something human like. When it comes to how faithful it is to the original it is faithful in some regards, while having its own take on other pieces. For instance when it comes to the monster, in the original story Victor creates life from human parts. In Ex Machina, Bateman is creating life through technology. In both of the stories the monster has issues coping with itself. A major theme that plays throughout Ex Machina and the original story is the idea of identity. Both of their creations struggle to cope with their own ideas about what being human is. However a major difference is when it comes to the people who create them. In Frankenstein Victor is very afraid of his own creation and actively tries to run from it, or destroy it. However when it comes to Ex Machina it is in fact Bateman who is the main antagonist. While both the creations are struggling with their own identity, the adaptation differs when it is the creator oppressing his creation rather than the other way around. However they have multiple similarities. The creation of both of the “monsters” are very similar, as both Victor and Bateman lock themselves away from the rest of society until they get it correct. Another major difference however is how the stories are being told. In the original story it is told out through Victor telling us about how he regrets his own creation and how we see it unfold like memories. But when it comes to Ex Machina, the story is told as a side character who is witnessing it unfold in front of him. We are able to see more how the monster feels and reacts in the modern storytelling rather than how it felt when the monster meets Victor on the mountain. A key similarity however is the creation of the monsters. In the stories both Victor and Bateman are picking out body parts for their creation and trying to make it as beautiful as possible, they both are mad scientists who want to create life in the most beautiful from they see fit. However the key difference is how one fears his creation, while in Ex Machina, Bateman wants to improve upon it.
