wolfman

on the weekend i went to see 'the wolfman' starring benicio del toro, emily blunt, anthony hopkins and hugo weaving. surprisingly enough it raised the issue of different perspectives and how they can affect your actions.

in the movie, benicio del toro is turned into a werewolf by another werewolf, who turns out to be his father. he is tricked by his father, and finds out that his dad was also responsible for the death of not only his mother but his brother as well. his lover in the movie, emily blunt is the last person who loves him and knows the truth.

the townsfolk, along with hugo weaving, a detective from scotland yard, wish to kill benecio, because they see him as nothing but a monster, responsible for killing many people.

obviously, the film was set up in a way that makes the audience empathize with benicio; thus adding to the film but its just interesting how the knowledge that the detective and the townspeople recieved completely changed their impression of the werewolf.
