There are two conflicting definitions of life: science's definition and that of morality. The book and movie tries to tackle the main contention between the two definitions. Does life only exist when it is naturally created i.e. through birth? Do you consider artificially created beings to have life like Frankenstein? The book and movie definitely left me hanging. What I was able to extract though was this idea that the concept of life is beyond physiology, cells, and tissues. A being has a facet of life the moment it has some form of consciousness when it can feel, think, respond, and aspire. In this film, he desired for a partner.
I believe that there move in making the character dumb was effective. It removed the noise and complications. It made it easier for me to understand the 'monster' and the message being portrayed by the author. I got to see the essence of the film more clearly.
