Frankenstein (1931) Scene.

[@ralaznable8640]

90 years later and this scene hits hard.

[@robertkincaid]

yes it still does

[@MaskedMan66]

Nowadays, they'd put in some dumb musical sting when the Monster appears, but that would not have the impact of just seeing him as he is here.

[@Tuberted]

I always pitied the creature. Tormented. I feel his pain.

[@MaskedMan66]

Stan Lee once said, "You'll never convince me that the Monster was the bad guy." And he was mostly right; after initially taking responsibility for him, Henry neglected him. Fritz tortured him. Nobody tried to see things from his perspective, not even kind Dr. Waldman. True, the Monster should not have killed Waldman, but he was after all just trying to protect himself from a threat to his life; what else do we do?

[@safado441]

He killed the Professor because the Professor was going to kill him.

That's what inspired Stanley Lieber to create the Hulk!

[@MaskedMan66]

@@cruisetheautisticboy994 Yup, and if you look at Jack Kirby's earliest version of the Hulk, he looks very much like the Monster, flat head and all. Of course, Jekyll and Hyde were also involved in that process.

Karloff was the best Frankenstein as to Lugosi as Dracula. The best of the best!

The audience of the day understood what Boris Karloff and the Director was doing With this Character he’s not really a monster he did not ask to be made his entire existence was nothing g but pain and suffering Inflicted on him by a Brutal and harsh world

[@chrismayer3919]

I can almost hear a sad Danny Elfman song playing for the poor creature 🥺( but then Frank was the Edward Scissorhands of his day, right?)

[@MaskedMan66]

How could he have asked to be made?

X-ACTLY!;)PEACE

[@MaskedMan66]

Karloff more than Whale. When they were going to do the scene of the Monster meeting little Maria, Karloff said he thought that the Monster should not drown the little girl even accidentally. He thought that it should just be the Monster playing with her at floating flowers, then get up and go on his way, having had a peaceful respite from his travails. The crew all agreed with him. Whale was furious at his will being questioned, and insisted that they do the scene his way. Even at that, Karloff played the Monster at being horrified over what he'd done, and devastated that he'd killed without meaning to. Later that night, they shot the scene of the Monster hauling Frankenstein up a hillside, and Karloff was really toting Colin Clive, not a dummy. Whale made him do it over and over until Karloff was exhausted and in pain. It was Whale's spiteful revenge for Karloff daring to question his vision. James Whale was not a nice man.

[@safado441]

I do like the look of confusion that always seems present in Karlof's eyes.

[@MaskedMan66]

Everything is new to him. The Monster really is a child in many ways.

[@ricardodavis4730]

People have said this before, but if anyone has felt like an outcast in their family or at school as a child, those people can easily relate to Karloff's portrayal of the Frankenstein Monster.

[@albyrnes6393]

"Lilly, I'm going to the parlor."

[@MaskedMan66]

There's a moment in _Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein_ when the Monster reacts with fear to the sight of Wilbur (Costello's character) and Dracula has to reassure him that "He won't hurt you." Someone made the wise observation that that was potentially the first "Grandpa and Herman moment" ever done. 🙂

Very true! One of the most memorable performances in the entire history of film-- in the history of acting, really-- and without a single word being said.

@@troyandrew6154 How he made the Monster look exactly the same every day of filming was sheer brilliance, considering he did the make-up from scratch every time.

That's parent abuse! The amazing thing is that even though the Monster is frightening at first glance, you pretty soon realize that he's more scared than anyone else in the room.

[@jeffmolnar4781]

Disagree, he was a reluctant monster but one just the same. Kind of like a male lion. Very unpredictable. He did have a criminal brain. Does that make him evil? Possibly? He did take Dr. Waldman's life. Maybe his soul visited he'll and was brought back to life and he knew eternal torment for a brief moment!
