Frankenstein (8/8) Movie CLIP - Windmill Burns Down (1931) HD

[@freddyfan951]

That moment where they're looking at each other through that spinning mechanism is beautiful, like so many other little moments in this film.

[@jennytawler7492]

Yes. And I think it is also supposed to be saying something about the child-like nature of the Monster - unlike Dr. Frankenstein, the Monster does not understand the spinning mechanism and really does think Dr. Frankenstein is himself moving, which is how Dr. Frankenstein escapes being recaptured by the Monster (only to fall from the windmill, from which he was originally supposed to die before Universal changed the ending to a « happier » one). The Monster’s screams when confronted with the flames are also those of a frightened child.

[@rr7firefly]

@@jennytawler7492 I wondered how the Doctor would have been able to survive the fall. Hitting that wood windmill blade would have killed anyone.

I loved these films since i was a kid, but only as an adult, do i realize what a powerful, intense and emotional scene this really is. How the Dr. realizes he has failed, not only as a Doctor, but as a father, and how his own creation is so alienated and shunned, when he didn't even ask to be brought into this world

I remember the first Frankenstein film I ever watched. Doctor Frankenstein acquiring body parts from the graves; bringing the monster to life; the doctor is unable to control the monster; he chains the monster to a room and attempts to tame him. In the end, if I remember correctly, in an attempt to hide the monster from people, the doctor hides the monster is some place, that leads to the monster falling into a pool of acid, thus being destroyed. I don't remember the name of this film; it wasn't the Curse of Frankenstein. Anyone have any ideas?

I watch this in high school and learn something about the monster. The monster didn't mean to throw the girl at the river. He thought she'll be flowing like flowers but no. He was just scared, confused, and left. It was too late that she was drown to death. At the burning windmill, one of the student in my class was laughing at the monster screaming. What's so funny about that? He's already in danger. I said to the monster in my mind, "Go, monster! Go! Get out of there now! Yes, just go! Go! No! No! No! Don't turn back! That's the only way to get out! No! Don't go to the window! Come on! Come on! Go! Go! Yes, yes, that's it! Oh, no! Come on! Move that thing! Move it! Move it! Don't hit it! Come on!" But at the end, I was just like this, "No!" When it was over, I was like "No." And I thinking about what batman say this. Harley Quinn: See? It hurts, don't it? Batman: What have you done? Harley Quinn: Now you know how it feels. I went home and watch it again. Until I didn't expect the monster in bride of Frankenstein survived. I watched the whole thing. It's sad. Now I know what that video is when I watch Hellboy 2 the golden army. Monster: You stay. (Hellboy stop) Monster: We belong death. (Well, that's funny. I don't mean haha funny. I mean funny funny.)

Unfortunately, that whole location on the backlot burned down in 1967. It was called Little Europe/Court of Miracles. There was a HUGE fire in 1967, but the area was rebuilt...not to the exact look as before, but it was replaced as a set piece for continued usage. I remember vividly as a kid (around 10 years old) when my parents took me to Universal and we went on the tour before the fire. The tram turned one of the corners in the backlot and, even as a kid, I felt like I had been there before...like I knew the world that lay in front of me. And then I realized that it was from all of the horror films I had seen as a kid. It was weird. I didn't know it as a "whole" place...but just little sections: a doorway here and an archway there - and a stone fountain in the middle with cobblestones on the street. I knew this place like my old neighborhood. Very weird.
