Frankenstein

frankenstein did nothing wrong
i blame that girl for not knowing how to swim

OH MY GOD FRANKENSTEIN WAS THE DOCTOR ALL ALONG

Completely different from the book. Yes, it is a classic movie, but that doesn't make it good. It completely changes the names and personalities of all the characters and makes them one dimensional. It misses the point Mary Shelley was trying to make in her book.

Feels hollow compared to the book. Captures the horror, but very little depth. But the visuals/atmosphere are great. Easy to see why this film defined the cultural vision of this story. I just wish the rich thematic material wasn't so thoroughly siphoned out.

I have loved the Frankenstein character for a while, seeing different versions portrayed and although this is the most popular one it is far from the best. I have many criticisms of it and the excuse that it is old doesn’t apply here. Nosferatu fixes some of the issues I do have with this movie in particular.
