Something I do appreciate about Walton is his willingness to give the Creature one of the few rights he would have had in his life in bearing witness at the funeral.
@@iokymfrancelinodasilva yeah, in the book Walton was a jerk to the Monster and was constantly guilt tripping him while ignoring the fact that it was all Frankenstein's fault.
“Context is for Kings” , Walton had heard the entire story and knew all The Creation wanted was to simply exist. It was no issues to be kind and treat him fairly.
"He never gave me a name." That's honestly the most heartbreaking line the Creature has to say in this. Throughout the course of his brief existence, he's denied every comfort: the ability to be treated with even a modicum of respect (until he comes upon Captain Walton and his crew) due to how poorly he's stitched together, the ability to love as the Bride understands death is better than life as an abomination of science and vanity, even the "gift" of a name, something every living human being takes for granted. And the weight De Niro brings to it highlights the ultimate tragedy of it all.
Why though is the question. Why do you feel sadness and believe in the rights of the creature? If it is merely because of the series of chemical reactions that form your emotions that sadness isn't based on anything substantial, anything moral. The great paradox here is that we feel for Frankenstein because we are human even though he (it) is not. What is it to be human and what is it to feel emotion? To what degree does as much align with virtue and where do said virtues come from? There isn't any way around it. Frankenstein is about man's role in relation to God.
@Tristram Coffin He feels sadness and believes in the rights of the creature because it has a human heart and wasn't asked to get brought back to life. Therefore Victor owed him his companionship but he abandoned the creature. Which is why the creature was even able to have more of its interactions in the first place. It didn't have any supervision or guidance.
I know what you mean. Throughout the story he’s always referred to as the creature, the monster, etc. all these years and I never realized he was never actually given a proper name. Poor guy 😢
To me it's "he was my father." There's the beauty in art 😊 The writing in the book is the most beautiful writing I've ever read. He's my fave character, all time.
The captain gave him more humanity then his father ever did, begging him to come with them, allowing him to bare witness. Frankenstein, the world he dwelled in, hell even we the audience only know him as the monster. But the captain saw a man.
@@iokymfrancelinodasilva Some of the details are redone but this ending more or less falls inline with the book. In comparison the Karlof version from the 30's is nowhere near accurate to the book and is still to this day celebrated as one of the greatest horror films ever made.
@@magallanesagustin4952 This might be sacrilege but I think the movie did a better job then the book. Like in the movie you aren't sure how long Jack has been crazy but you get the feeling during the car ride to the overlook he's barely holding it together.
I agree 100%. Strange, given that he has given some memorable performances in other, more revered movies, but I still think this was his best performance ever.
I saw the movie before reading the novel and saw the monster as DeNero. What a depressing story, it really shows, only because we "can" does is mean we " should"
The Being realizes that his mission of vengence brought him no joy, no peace, no satisfaction. It brought him _nothing,_ and that's all he's left with: nothingness and lonliness. He burns himself with his creator not only to end his own misery, but to ensure that his body cannot be used by some new fool to repeat the tragedy of Frankenstein.
This movie contains several references to previous Frankenstein movies: The Creature is brought to life in a metallic vat, as in Frankenstein (1910). Victor cuts an executed criminal from a hangman's noose, and uses the body for his experiments, as in Frankenstein (1931) and Young Frankenstein (1974). The Creature is reanimated with electrical charges. This is an invention of Hollywood. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley does not specify in the novel how Victor creates or animates the Creature. Once the Creature comes to life, Victor triumphantly shouts, "It's alive!" The Creature's first spoken word is "friend". This is also the Creature's most frequently-used word, when he learns to speak in The Bride of Frankenstein (1935). Victor uses the brain of a brilliant scientist and mentor for his Creature, as in The Curse of Frankenstein (1957). Justine Moritz's role is also expanded, and is made to fall in love with Victor in both movies. Victor's mentor, who paved the road for his experiments, brings a severed arm back to life, and shows it to Victor, as in Frankenstein: The True Story (1973). The Creature hides in some cottagers' pigsty, and secretly learns to speak and read from observing them through a peephole. In the book, the cottagers are foreign refugees. In this movie, the cottagers are simply local townsfolk. This variation on the novel was first used in Terror of Frankenstein (1977). Victor revives a mangled and hideous Elizabeth after the Creature murders her, and Victor and the Creature then engage in a battle for her affection. Horrified, the reanimated Elizabeth takes her own life. The same events take place, almost exactly, in Frankenstein Unbound (1990). A cholera epidemic sweeps through Ingolstadt, leaving Victor to believe that the Creature died from disease. Frankenstein (1992) also featured a cholera epidemic under very similar circumstances, even though it is not present in the novel.
Beautiful comment. Kenneth Branaghs movie is love letter to both Mary Shellys 1818 novel, but also the addaptaions that came before. Because the scene the scene with Elizabeth being brough back as a monster is love letter to Bride of Frankenstein from 1935 , the sequel to the original 1931 movie with Boris Karloff as the monster in both movies. And Robert De Niro is natrual talent as an actor. His portrayal of Frankensteins monster makes the monster more human like. He and Boris Karloff are my favorit monsters . But the entire movie is a love letter to entire Frankenstein franchaise. Both the universal movies and hammer studioes movies.
@Stew Bedazzle Hardly overrated. His ability to transform his personality for roles is nothing short of phenomenal, and this is by far his best performance ever.
Out of hundreds of movies, the blind man scene makes me tear up. The blind man is the good and decency of humanity, genuine charity, the Christian ideal. The only person who has shown Frankenstein compassion and humanity, and it is ripped away in an instance… Only the Green Mile has made me otherwise cry.
One question I've always wanted to ask is - most people are born with a sense of right and wrong. Does the creature have nome of this? There are people born without this sense but the vast majority have it. Is it because of the internal parts the creature has?
Transcript: Captain Walton: Who are you? The Being: He never gave me a name. Captain Walton: Why do you weep? The Being: He was my father. Captain Walton: And yea, I gave my heart to no wisdom and to no wisdom and folly and I perceived that all had vexation of spirit. For in much wisdom is much grief, and he that increaseth knowledge, increaseth sorrow. For God shall bring every work and every secret thing into judgment, whether it be good or whether it be evil. [Being weeping] Sailor: Captain! Captain Walton: He has a right to bear witness. [Ice cracking] Sailor: Captain! Leave it, that curse! Captain, leave it! Captain Walton: Come with us! The Being: I am done with man.
But soon," he cried, with sad and solemn enthusiasm, "I shall die, and what I now feel be no longer felt. Soon these burning miseries will be extinct. I shall ascend my funeral pyre triumphantly, and exult in the agony of the torturing flames.
Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992), Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1994), The Wolfman (2010). All great film adaptations to the originals. Love these movies. 🍿
So, I read this book senior year of HS 1992 and this movie came out in 1994, so the book was fresh in my mind and the original films' monster was nothing like the book. This was supposed to be far more realistic to the source. I was really excited for it to come out. I saw it and I remember there were some things I thought were corny AND the monster wasn't portrayed superhuman enough for my knowledge of the book but overall, I liked it ...only later to see reviews that it got pretty hammered. It has its cheese but I still think it deserves much more credit than it got for trying to adapt the book more closely.
I don't know why they have called this movie Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, but the end is completely different from the end that Mary Shelley had thought .
Really enjoy this movie, it's a great adaptation from Shelly's original work, but never cared for DeNiro in the role of Frankenstein's creature. Vincent D'Onofrio would've been a much better casting for the character imho.
Finally all of the taking other people’s body parts finally ended. If only people would stop such evil depravity in real life- still even then, it will stop.
@@vivianaespinoza5281 yeah but the best of Disney is not the best of all films every. There’s a lot of movies I know that top most Disney films in being rememberable. just because you don’t like stuff outside of Disney properties does not mean they don’t deserved to be shown.

Most underrated De Niro performance ever
I agree 100%. Strange, given that he has given some memorable performances in other, more revered movies, but I still think this was his best performance ever.
Totally.
He got great reviews when the movie came out.
No way man, this is a cult classic all the way. De Niro is most excellent here. Maybe his best.
@@OnoblingoAeiou Exactly! That's what underrated means lol
I saw the movie before reading the novel and saw the monster as DeNero. What a depressing story, it really shows, only because we "can" does is mean we " should"
A wobbly movie in places but probably the best adaptation of the novel anybody's done yet.
Few free liberties were taken, and I appreciate when fans of a novel help encapsulate the idea of the original author, even if it has flaws
"He never gave me a name." "He was my father."
And there, in two simple lines, is the summation of the Creature's constant inner conflict. Beautiful.
The Being realizes that his mission of vengence brought him no joy, no peace, no satisfaction. It brought him _nothing,_ and that's all he's left with: nothingness and lonliness.
He burns himself with his creator not only to end his own misery, but to ensure that his body cannot be used by some new fool to repeat the tragedy of Frankenstein.

Greatest actor of his generation

Fantastic adaptation, It's also a reunion between De Niro and Aidan Quinn after The Mission.
This was a damned fine film.
“I am done with man!”
Can’t say I blame him.

I mean, he killed Victor's brother and father, but still
He also killed his wife and lead to his half sister being killed too.
