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.

    How do you feel that this version of the script has changed all the essence of the script, it does not reflect the innocence of creation, and even the creation is not become educated, so everything is just instinct, I can't understand the screenwriter's thinking... Even if you watch it as a horror movie It's not good enough.

    The visual style of the tomb excavation scene is pretty good (the curtain). The medical professor's presentation (inherited from Mabuse), the stealing of the brain is well designed. The dialogue afterwards was too long. Gothic laboratory, tall and majestic, expressionist skewed staircase. Experiment process, electric spark. Creature appeared on the stage (first out, backlit, shadow is greater than the person), trying to give him a needle in the scene (more complicated than expected), an expressionist setting. Attack the professor with his hands behind his back. Throw the little girl into the lake as a flower. Beauty and the Beast. Mob travels. curtain. windmill.

    Elizabeth: Baron, you don't understand.

    Baron Frankenstein: I understand perfectly well. There's another woman and you're afraid to tell me. Pretty sorted experiment these must be! Huh!

    Elizabeth: Oh, but Baron, you're wrong!

  • Maid: If you please, Herr Baron, the Burgomaster.
