Nice write up of the monster. Karloff does such a great job here in a very sympathetic performance. siochembiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11487373396181856763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-56511507487295214572012-10-24T23:56:43.541+02:002012-10-24T23:56:43.541+02:00I agree that this classic monster film works, whil...I agree that this classic monster film works, while Dracula mostly doesn't. One thing that no Frankenstein movie has gotten right (to my knowledge) is that in the book the creature does not stay a frightened child, but becomes a well-educated and urbane being. It's also Dr. Frankenstein himself that ends up going after the creature, even to the Arctic ice, not townspeople with torches. (Hence the reason the book is titled "Frankenstein" for the main character, not for the monster.) Every subsequent version seems to use this movie as the story template, though. The closest to getting it right was the 1994 version, which almost no one saw.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.com
