One last comment about the film. I really enjoyed the scene where the monster and the doctor were up in the wind mill looking at each other. To me, this scene was really about a father looking at his son. If you look back right when the monster was created, Dr. Frankenstein never had much face to face interaction with his creature. But now he gets a really good look into the eyes of the monster he created.
I found this to be crucial for both the monster and the doctor. Any thoughts?
I felt like that was the first time in the film that the doctor stopped looking at the monster as his experiment and started looking at it as his living, breathing creation. We all agreed that of all people, he should be the one sticking up for the monster and empathizing with it. The old "you don't know what you have until it's gone" sums up how the doctor felt knowing that is creation would be dead within minutes.
ReplyDeletewell, I believe that the doctor viewed him as more than just an experiment in the beginning.... if you remember that when the guy said first to get rid of him ....the guy said NO he was not for the idea. I think if anything the doctors only regret was involving anyone else. He had the right Idea, to gradually introduce him to things and try to assimilate him into society. He never got the chance to do this because everyone pretty much took over and the situation got out of hand fast.
