Monsters matter. "It's so easy to objectify, to use any 'ism' that you choose, to say no to the other. The greatest blessing we can bestow upon each other as humans is to look at the other. To really gaze upon a person that is not an idea in your head, an idea of race, but a person, complete. That's why I embrace monsters, because monsters are ultimately the patron saints of otherness, everything people say should not be." Guillermo del Toro
