From today's point of view, the story is very simple, but for people in 1931, it is the definition of a "sci-fi movie". When Mary Shelley wrote the novel "Frankenstein", a film that was only 19 years old and 70 minutes old can be condensed. In two lines: Oh, in the name of God! Now I know what it feels like to be God! Dangerous? Poor old Waldman. Have you never wanted to do anything that was dangerous? Where should we be if no one tried to find out what lies beyond? Have you never wanted to look beyond the clouds and the stars, or to know what causes the trees to bud? And what changes the darkness into light? But if you talk like that, people call you crazy. Well , if I could discover just one of these things, what eternity is, for example, I wouldn't care if they did think I was crazy. Science fiction works.
