Christian Bale Explains The True Meaning Of His New Sci-Fi Horror Movie’s Ending

Maggie Gyllenhaal’s film features Christian Bale as Frank, the creature originally made by Doctor Frankenstein. Feeling incredibly alone, Frank goes to Chicago in the 1930s to find Dr. Euphronius (Annette Bening) and ask her to create a companion for him. She’s successful, bringing a deceased woman (Jessie Buckley) back to life as his Bride. After both Frank and the Bride tragically die, the film ends with a flash of lightning in Dr. Euphronius’ lab, as their bodies are brought back to life and they clasp hands.
