Gods and Beasts

This film tells the story of the last life of the famous Hollywood director James Weir (played by Ian McKellen) in 1957. The director who created the most terrifying character in film history, "Frankenstein", has retired from the film industry and is concentrating on studying painting. In his spare time, he still frequently dates some men. When the housekeeper Hannah (Lynn Redgrave) hired a new gardener, Boone (Brendan Fraser), a strong former Marine, Will's interest gradually shifted to Boone. Will approached Boone like a spider crawling toward a fly, leading the latter step by step into a carefully designed trap. It turned out that although Will had stopped making films, after meeting Boone, he found that Boone was very similar to the protagonist Frankenstein in his film - taciturn, simple and difficult to understand. Will feels that he cannot cool down the love in his heart, and only Boone can relieve his pain. His plan is to induce Boone to kill himself, so that he can personally realize the most perfect movie plot in his life... This film uses the subtle contact between the famous old Hollywood director and the young gardener, and the events triggered by it.
