      Shocking, always thinking beyond the times!

      Frankenstein, Frankenstein.

      Frankenstein has become synonymous with monsters, enough to show how influential this work is. (Of course I want to thank Mrs. Shelley...)

      Tell me about the movie.
      The movie is short and it's still black and white. At that time, I probably watched it with the whole class in the SAT literature class. The chronological performance may seem exaggerated to this day, causing the whole class to laugh from time to time.

      But smiled and felt so sad.

      The section between...

But mankind still repeats the same mistakes and makes others fall victim to it. As in the 1930s, there were such great audio film adaptations, with online appearance, clean lines, smooth editing, and complete storytelling. But what is paradoxical is that compared to the 14-minute version...

      To give a quasi-excellent attitude toward the past and the present, the eccentric still does things by "instinct", without thinking, there is no morality, pure monster, and the intensity is lighter. Nicely laid out and interesting, with a balance of expressionism and reality: two mills, Frankenstein's set up a...

      From today's point of view, there is no surprise or shock in the plot, although Boris Karloff will be impressed by the behind-the-scenes look at Universal. The shaping of each character is also relatively flat and superficial, continue to see the next step...
