CLIP DESCRIPTION:
After a gentle moment between the Monster (Boris Karloff) and Little Maria (Marilyn Harris), he scares her by innocently throwing her in the lake.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Still regarded as the definitive film version of Mary Shelley's classic tale of tragedy and horror, Frankenstein made unknown character actor Boris Karloff a star and created a new icon of terror. Along with the highly successful Dracula, released earlier the same year, it launched Universal Studio's golden age of 1930s horror movies. The film's greatness stems less from its script than from the stark but moody atmosphere created by director James Whale; Herman Rosse's memorable set designs, particularly the fantastic watchtower laboratory, featuring electrical equipment designed by Kenneth Strickfaden; the creature's trademark look from makeup artist Jack Pierce, who required Karloff to don pounds of makeup and heavy asphalt shoes to create the monster's unique lurching gait; and Karloff's nuanced performance as the tormented and bewildered creature. Frankenstein was greeted with screams, moans, and fainting spells upon its initial release, obliging Universal to add a disclaimer in which Edward Van Sloan advises the faint of heart to leave the theater immediately. If they don't: "Well...we've warned you." Director James Whale was memorably embodied by Ian McKellen in the Oscar-winning 1998 biopic Gods and Monsters.

She lives next to a lake and never learned to swim? That's bad parenting.
+Andrew H The censors ordered a cut before Karloff put his hands on the little girl. It was later restored to the film (along with one other scene) in the late 70s or early 80s, I believe.
+Andrew H In all honesty, Karloff had the same issue even filming this. Marilyn Harris, before even filming and seeing Karloff in full make up, actually gives him a big hug. After hearing her talk and how sweet of a young lady she was, Karloff actually went before James Whale and said he couldn't do this. Of course he was compensated for that particular scene. But Marilyn kept sinking instead of floating... being the little girl was on a diet, she was bribed with a batch of doubled eggs to keep going.
+Andrew H they just added a new scene a few years a back. It has Dr. Frankestien utter:
"It's Alive, it's Alive! Now I know how it feels to be *God*"
These are old scenes that were cut by the censor. The one you quoted was cut for blasphemy and the scene of throwing the little girl in the lake was cut by the Hays office for violence.
underzog Yep, that's exactly right. I'm glad they were restored. It's a better product when the Hubris of Dr. Franketien is more blatant.
I feel bad for them both. Maria because she got tossed in the lake and drowned. And the monster because he was innocent and didn't understand that she couldn't float like the flowers did.
Bruh
Oh ok so that Happened good now I have context thanks
@Daniel Cafarelli right!
I was laughing 😂
@@Gummybear1.2.5.1 Not only that he scare of cold water lmfao 😂
You gotta admit, Frankenstein was more touchy than scary, the way He reacted when He realized He doomed that poor girl.
Vladd Chambers In the book the Monster was highly intelligent and articulate. It hated the way it had been made and the things it had to do.
Yes, oh, your Profile Pic, I've seen that Movie before, the Alien vaporized all the Soldiers Weapons and such into dust cause He forbid's combat..at least I think I got the right one.
Vladd Chambers Yeah it was "The Day The Earth Stood Still"
Cool.
Will back then there wasn't to much make up or CGI like today so back then that would be scary
During production there was some concern that seven-year-old Marilyn Harris, who played Maria, the little girl thrown into the lake by the creature, would be overly frightened by the sight of Boris Karloff in costume and make-up when it came time to shoot the scene. When the cast was assembled to travel to the location, Marilyn ran from her car directly up to Karloff, who was in full make-up and costume, took his hand and asked "May I drive with you?" Delighted, and in typical Karloff fashion, he responded, "Would you, darling?" She then rode to the location with "The Monster.".
+Barbara Sprague
Thanks for sharing this. I understand that little kids LOVED Boris, and followed him around like puppy dogs:-)
facepalms
Wow, that's a true gentleman right there
Did he really say that?
Oh, that is so sweet!! :D :D Where did you hear that story?
The horror of this iconic scene stems from the Monster's total innocence of malice, as he commits this monstrous act...
...and then, in an experience that every "child" that has done his or her first "bad" thing has had (which is all of us), he realizes almost immediately, and with horror, what he's done, and how it can't be undone.
Karloff's and Whale's genius was to use the Monster's grotesqueness to mask the fact that he is, essentially, a child.
It is genius level story telling.
And the fact that it skipped the natural course of life. He is strong and ignorant as a child, giving him power to kill without understand it fully.
A life created by man is as flawed as a human.
@@gabemorales7814 Not really a reaction to this scene, as presented, but quite thoughtful, my compliments.
@Gabe Morales Thank you for taking the time to write this Gabe. I plan on reading book now.
It's pretty much the pattern set by Adam and Eve's transgression.
"You'll float too! You'll float too!"
No I don't guess u will. Well, time to haul ass.
"Sink too, you sink too."
Hahahahaha I was thinking the same thing
Ultra Johnson o2 you’ll float too
Ultra Johnson02
They float, they always float...
I know it sounds incredibly obvious, but I can't believe that not a single person who worked on this, not even the girl, is alive today. It's kinda sad when it dawns on you because, not being used to watching films this old, it's an unusual realization.
tic toc, baby. tic toc.
+Evil Ryu She died in 1999.
+Evil Ryu Here's an even bigger realization...when you die, you'll cease to exist, there's no afterlife :)
+Kael The Invoker thanks captain obvious
People die if they are killed.
"These flowers float...so maybe you can float."
Oh yes....They float Georgie.....they float....and when your down hear with me.....YOU'LL FLOAT TOO!!!!!
Jack Sykes Hahaha, I got that one
WhimsicottFluff but she's a bit heavier haha
Why wouldn't he think so? He's practically a newborn.
"seems like a good idea.
And that is how you make friends
Oh really? Man, I've been doing it wrong for years.... *Starts chucking all my friends into the nearest lake*
Beats sending a friend request
By drowning them
yup I've been making friends for years.
I don't know about anyone else, but the innocence of this scene as well as its underlying acceptance/versus alienation themes brought a tear to my eye. It touched me that at ugly as he was, he met someone who was innocent and nonjudgmental enough to overlook that and want to be his friend.
They showed this film to us in school when I was in maybe 3rd grade and I bawled my eyes out. I felt very sorry for the monster, which I assume was the point.
Watch the bride you'll feel even worse Franky got the worst rep
bro i had to analyse this scene and this comment saved me. thank you brother
@@chrisn4ing._ For school?
he thought she was as pretty as the flowers and after having no more he threw her in because the flowers floated so she should as well, his reasoning behind his actions is so pure. His lack of knowledge of the natural world is like that of a child, I love the novel and the movie does a decent job at telling the story through film.
00:59 the cat is smart, it gets the hell out of there
That's the way cats are. Cats think only of themselves. Whenever a cat senses an impending crises they suddenly disappear and the eventually reappear licking their paws when the crises is over.
Lol yeah
Yep, it was. And I was worried the monster would hurt the cat.
@Edward89 cats are pccys.
Lol ya
He was truly happy in that moment, watching the flowers and learning. The happiness Karloff conveyed brings a tear to your eye knowing the horrors that created this creature and what he endured.
And the abject terror on his face when he realises what he's done, that the beautiful flower doesn't float and he's killed her, he's distraught.
Karloff's work in this one scene is the definition of his skills.
Never seen this before, but I'm actually crushed. The joy of the monster making a friend to his horror as the girl sinks... what a powerful scene.
Karloff originally objected to this scene and felt the Monster should have gently put Maria in the lake, but he was overruled.
What a nice man. You can see it in his performance. And a better actor than most people think
Karloff was wrong because by nature the monster doesn’t understand his own strength. A baby is pure and innocent yet it still pulls like hell on a dogs ear not understanding it’s curiosity may hurt it
@Edward89 Not that upset since they used the scene. Also, Hollywood studio head ...afraid of upsetting children...yeah right!
@@wmpetroff2307 You have to understand back then people were very sensitive on their kds.
@@SeriousDragonify Hollywood abuses kids!
In the book he saves the girl and in the movie he kills her. Holly Wood .
to be fair, he wasn't doing it out of malice, he was doing it because he mistakenly belives that she will float like the flowers. you can tell that he is later horrified of what he has done when that doesn't happen. also, keep in mind that the Monster in the movie has an abnormal brain thus he is not thinking like a normal person.
talk about fake media....
he wasent trying to kill her.
I can easily see the monster going into the water to try and save Maria, but he can’t swim either.
Pretty sure “Dark Night Of The Scarecrow” was inspired by this
For years the shot where he tosses the girl into the water was thought lost. It ended with the monster reaching out to her and was abruptly cut. It was removed due to censorship after the films' initial run.It only has been reinserted within the last 20 years.
Z
Is the original version on Blu-ray?
@@bradleywalker36 yes
Being only 21 I was obviously not around when this film shocked people everywhere, but I remember watching this when I was 4 or 5 and being sympathetic towards the monster, it's funny that even at a young age I knew this wasn't his original intention....powerful stuff
Well this film came out in theaters 1931.
Damn you were 21 when this came out?! That would make you over 100 years old so wow thank you for your service brother.
@@AshtonHutchinson That's not really what OP meant. He should be 29 now.
Anyone else feel bad for the monster?
+Max Robinson cause of the unintentional murder of that kid? yes.
Yeah. I mean, he had the mind of a child he didn't know any better.
Everyone hopefully- that's the point of the scene. That innocence without instruction can be horrific, harmful, hostile, hopeless, hateful.... erm... Hip hop? Hippopotamus? and other words beginning with 'H' probably. Or something.
yes as well
The little girl isn't the cutest in the world, but I wouldn't call her a monster.
Originally this was edited out. But this scene is vital. The monster doesn't understand. He wants her to float. He is trying to please.
Despite how sad this clip is, here is a heartwarming fact about it:
-
The actress playing the little girl (Marilyn Harris) would recall years and years after making this film that: “Boris Karloff was a very sweet, wonderful man and I just loved him. Immediately from being on the lot and taking his hand, I had no fear of him whatsoever. We seemed to have a rapport together, and it was like magic.”
Everyone who work with him said the same thing : He was a true gentle man.
It's really funny; when walking from place to place on the Universal lot, Karloff had to wear a hood to hide his features in case anyone should get frightened. They were actually worried that Marilyn would be afraid of him, but in fact she wanted to ride with him in the car for the 40-mile trip to the location! 🙂
@@kk43473 ?
They should have made it more like the novel when "the monster" actually saved a girl from drowning and was shot for it because he was so hideous. The monster was originally kind and good-hearted with a desire to love and be loved and accepted by others. He wanted to spread love and kindness. He only became a murderer when he was cast out, beaten, and rejected by the rest of humanity who shunned him for his different appearance. He was wretched, alone, and miserable and that led him to seek revenge on his creator for creating him only to abandon him and leave him to live such a miserable life.
+Mella Bella well there someone who read the original mary sheleys frankestein gj
Fair point, but I still really like this scene. I love how you can see the gears turning in his head. "The flowers float, which means she'll float too."
I mean, humans do float. It just so happens that apparently this little girl was made of rocks.
Mella Bella If Dracula(1931) stayed very faithful to the book it was based on,then why couldn't Frankenstein(1931) do the same?
I'm actually reading the book for the first time right now (it's really quite a wonderful book), and nearly every scene with the creature has made me cry. He has such a capacity for intelligence and gentleness, and even when he saves a little girl--a freaking little girl--from drowning, they see him as a monster despite his good deed! Victor Frankenstein is quite the d-bag for casting him out!
Well shit, that escalated quickly...
The very definition of it lol.
Marilyn Harris not only appeared in this Frankenstein flick, four years later she is in the background in Bride of Frankenstein.
She died at age 75 on 1 Dec 1999. She was hired for this scene because she was an excellent swimmer and there was a shot filmed (which I think was left on the cutting room floor) of the monster tossing her into the lake. She ceased acting in movies at about age 14, having mostly bit parts to her credit.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marilyn_Harris_(actress)
So sad. He didn't know any better!
Yeah, he was only alive for a couple days.
Yeah he just wanted to make friends and he thinks humans can floot but not in reality
@@goodsonicfan5016 he live more than few days
Like a big child really
@@Willy2000ization That's true.
One of the greatest scenes in the history of cinema!!! Its simplicity makes it even more touching.
I agree completely. Seeing the father carrying her is more disturbing when you don't see Maria actually drowning.
He walks away like: shit, I have to catch my bus!! Haha
lmfaooo.
Haha!
lmao!!!
Hell FrogSixtyNine really funny ha ha ha
Hahahahaha!!!! Holy shit, I didn't think this scene could get any funnier, but you proved me wrong!
Well, now frankenstein yeets a little girl into a river is in my search history
Karloff was a GENIUS. If these films had not been considered at the time as "B" fare, he would have easily won an Oscar.
For years this scene was cut out for television, I always wondered how she died. It wasn't until I bought the DVD that I finally saw that the monster threw her in the water.
This scene was considered too obscene in 1931, and was removed from the original negative. They weren't able to find and restore it until the 1980's.
If she just gave the poor guy some more flowers...Jeez...
He could've at least tapped girl on the shoulder to ask for more flowers instead of just throwing her into the pond like that.
He wasn’t mad that he had no more flowers. He thought she could float like the flowers could. In his newborn mind he thought “I like the flowers and they float. I like you, so you must float, too.”
You know what? For 1931 that's kind of brutal.
At least he didn't kill the cat.
Its still is brutal today.
Deffenetly, that's why they cut it out.
Just wait until 1939 in Poland.. it gets worse.
Brutal as it is, you might want to look at Fritz Lang's 1931 movie "M." It takes place in Germany, and it's about a child murderer. The whole city gets on edge and turns against him, including the gangsters. It was Peter Lorre's first big hit.
For anyone questioning why the girl didn't swim back to shore, the answer is that the monster is incredibly powerful. She said he was hurting her long before he threw her. His powerful grab crushed her bones and made it impossible for her to swim back to shore and she quickly sank like a rock. Just to give you an idea of how powerful the monster is, if you went to shake his hand he would shatter your entire arm into a dozen pieces with his powerful grip.
I don't know what scene you were watching, but it looked like he gently lifted her and lightly tossed her.
And yet he managed to pick up the flowers without crushing them. Go figure. 🙄
@@TallSilentGuy Lol I forgot I made this comment, pure speculation on my part but you do make a good point.
Oh I thought it was a joke
This scene is so sad. I''d say he has the innocence of a child but he's not even that advanced, he truly thought he was doing something that would make her happy.
If you laughed in the theater during that scene in 1931, I wonder how people would react
When I saw the re-released Exorcist in the theater in 2000, it wasn't as good an experience as I thought since people kept laughing at all the once-scary-now-iconic scenes.
@@johnex5101 I remember seeing this in the 1970's as a child and the girl is in it they cut out the part where he throws her in but even as a child I knew something bad happened to poor Maria
@@williamshaw9047 I remember seeing it around that time during a theater re-release as a 13 year old a being freaked out by the Captains Howdy "subliminal messages." But I totally get being young and seeing the FX being seen as old and corny.
@@WillieDuitt1 the scene of the father carrying his daughter through the town was heavier than this. If that was unaltered, that alone would have been more horrifying.
People today laugh stupidly when something horrible is happening onscreen. I've seen that in the theater and always think there is something wrong with those people. Infantile behavior in public.
Stranger danger. Right there.
And that's how we get hostilities between tribes or neighbors. Accusing a man of something horrendous, sicking the entire community on him, who will literally rip him to people over an accusation... WTF do you expect that man to do?? It's called self-preservation. Idiot.
Boris deserved an Oscar for sure!
I love watching Frankenstein. Since a child I've have flashbacks of watching Frankenstein, while learning to walk, but I don't remember if those flashbacks are real or not...
Well, he didn't kill them intentionally anyway, as this scene shows.
Lugosi would've beaten him unless he won the year before, then Karloff would've had the chance.
It's interesting that they edited this scene back in the day when it actually made it worse. She actually drowned, but imagine seeing this and not knowing what happened. What did he do to her? Did he smash her skull in? Did he chock her to death? You would never know.
Exactly.
Chock
with no music and the sound of cloud is just creepy to me.
What is "the sound of cloud"?
The scene that always gets me is when the father is holding her body, the look on his face really shows how he's feeling.
Wow she sank like a brick in that shallow water. And it's 2017, everyone still thinks the monster's named 'Frankenstein'.
Frankenstien meets Maria by the lake is also referenced in the pilot episode of The Incredible Hulk with Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno where the Hulk meets the girl at the lake while she is going fishing at the campsite
Yep, and the girl tells the Hulk to go away 😅
@@stephanienewbern769 that would be in the pilot episode of The Incredible Hulk especially when her father at the lake took a shot at the Hulk's arm with his gun
And again in King Of The Beach when he smooshes a little girl's sandcastle and she sends him packing!
@@TallSilentGuy I might rewatch that episode
the season finale of Chucky brought me here.
Somebody tell me how iconic this scene is
They try to convince you that the monster has the mind of a serial killer, but if anything, this scene paints him as a Lennie Small type. He even gets scared and runs away when he knows he’s done wrong.
Lennie Small! Exactly!
Definitely. Some people have also commented that since you don't see the Monster drowning the girl, it seems as if he may have done something much worse - beating, strangulation, or even molestation.
I think this scene was so touching; she showed him real kindness - which no one else ever did.. until he threw her in the water.
The beginning is kind of sweet. Misunderstood creature be friends a innocent and naive little girl. And it's a very nice setting.
In acting, the most difficult thing is NON-VERBAL acting, like the kind Karloff does throughout this movie and in this scene, in particular. Only through the passage of time has he gotten the kind of praise for his portrayal of the monster for the genius it really was. RIP, Boris Karloff.
Till this day when people ask me to name one of the scariest movie I've ever seen. I give them my first five, Frankenstein is one. The movie is terrifying.
2:29
CHUCKY: - This is my favorite part...HYAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!
💀💀💀
Hollywood has painted a poor picture of the creature, whom the world refers to Frankenstein when in fact it is truly named "the creature". Frankenstein is Victor Frankenstein, the creator of the creature. The creature is illiterate and unintelligent in hollywood films, yet the true creature is highly intellectual and learned to speak languages from works such as Paradise lost and Sorrows of Werter.
But here he's incredibly sympathetic.
He was sympathetic in the book too because even though how he was treated doesn't justify the evil things he did later it does explain why he did them and how he was driven to them. If he hadn't been abandoned by Victor simply for being ugly, been attacked by villagers for the same reason, been beaten with a stick by the son of the family whose house he was hiding in and been shot in the shoulder by a girl's father even though he'd saved her from drowning he might never have become a monster in more than appearance. As far as nature vs nurture goes the monster fits into the nurture category. He wasn't created evil and didn't choose to be. He was made that way by mistreatment. Hell even when Victor promised to make him a bride he destroyed it just because he was paranoid that the bride would hate the monster and wouldn't agree to leave Victor alone or that they'd have children. So Victor basically brings the events of the novel on himself.
Xehanort10. He was bullied as a kid no doubt. He's terribly misunderstood.
The great expert. XD
EVERYBODY FRANKENSTEIN IS NOT THE MONSTER HE IS THE CREATOR. VICTOR FRANKESTEIN
+Phoenix Iz Mee HENRY FRANKENSTEIN not Victor.
Are you sure it's not Froderick Fronkensteen? ;)
+KD Gaming He was originally named Victor, read the book.
SimmeringArtist Yes that I know but in this movie he is named Henry so it would be false to say that his name is Victor.
+Phoenix Iz Mee book i awesome my friend you are right
I’m 60 now and remember this movie on a late Saturday nite. It scared the crap out of me and my brothers!! 👀
People back in 1931 must have gasped when he approached her. Still magnificently disturbing after all these years.
Another great scene was the one in which he woke up from anesthesia and killed Dr. Waldman.
Karloff , like the great Lon Chaney, was a masterful actor. His expressions through hands and face were great.
If you thought this movie was heartbreaking wait till you read the book 💔 it's tragic especially when the monster expressed his feelings and talked about what he went through. The author Mary Shelley is brilliant
This scene is both sweet and devastating!
This must be why little kids are told to never talk to strangers
+Joe Whitehead Possibly.
Especially ones who were created in a science lab on a mountain that was shot with lightning
My parents wouldn't allow me to associate with re-animated corpses until I was 16.
i see this scene as in: the monster realized maria's flowers made her, somehow, happy, and she'd throw them in the lake so they could float. since he had maria as someone special, he innocently tried doing the same, but the outturn was obviously terrible. this scene always gets me to tears. he's a child aswell, had just been born some days ago, and that's what some people don't understand. this scene is sad overall.
An iconic scene. The poor monster didn't know better. 😢
I can’t stop laughing at the way he just yeets her into the pond
Aw I love you Frank. He's a really nice guy.
I feel bad for the monster who accidentally drowned Maria, unaware that she can’t swim, and he realized he made a mistake. I wish he could’ve save Maria from drowning before he got shot by her dad, just like in the book.
This scene was awesome and adorable until he three Maria down that lake-
It’s hard to take seriously when she is like right next to shore
Naah. Remember that story about a year ago where a small child drowned in the Disneyland artificial lake?
If you don't know how to swim, falling or being pushed even into a shallow lake can be deadly.
Actually it even looks like it would be quite deep. No shoreline at all, it just drops right off.
2:28 My Favorite part 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Chucky reference ?
Lol it’s too funny 😂
He just tosses her into the water 😂😭
I always loved this part ever since I was a kid.
Man this scene really lets Boris Karloff shine. The way he makes his hand and fingers look dead as he takes the flower, and that corpse face of his slowly smiling and letting out a little, "Heh!" Really touching but creepy.
Weird to look at this !! This was even b4 my grandparents were born its scary how life goes look how young especially the little girl still to this day these movies are classic
Classic scene from a classic movie
And also back when you could leave your child alone without any adult supervision
"And also back when you could leave your child alone without any adult supervision"
Interesting video to make that point.
Bummer, I thought this was an old Munsters clip!
Underneath the water is a Clown saying; Down here, everything floats...
It's interesting to note that four years later, Marilyn Harris turned up again in _Bride of Frankenstein,_ in which she's credited as "Girl." 🙂
I feel seriously sorry for the monster.
Almost the most memorable and disturbing scene in all the classic horror films
I actually prefer the edited version of this scene. Cutting as the Monster reaches for Maria is far more sinister.
The innocence of a child..
2:27 - 2:42: Judging by the low quality of that moment, you can really tell that that scene was censored for years.
am i the only one who found this hilarious?
Sick SOB is all I call those that find this funny. But then, you were born that way!
Hey, jerky, get over yourself, you reprobate!
you are slow.
Reprobate Nazi.
kyokogodai
Are you crazy?
A brutal poetry permeates this edited sequence. I can't believe I'm saying this, but for once I can understand why the censors pulled it. Not that the scene shouldn't be included (to see the film without it would be unforgivable), but when one sees this part for the first time, a bleakness envelopes the viewer like a thick black smog. I'm not saying I condone the removal of the scene (I despise any censorship when it comes to art), but I admit this portion of the film elevates the film from a simple Gothic horror morality tale to something much more human and more disturbing (sorry for the long comment).
+Lucas Davis yeah, I agree. I've watched this with friends before, and they all laughed. I understand why they are laughing, but I don't find it funny at all.
Like you say, this is a disturbing moment. The Monster has so little understanding of the world at this time, and thinks she will float, and he actually looks quite horrified to see that she isn't.
Wait, they were laughing?
+Lucas Davis yeah, actually one of my friend's mum was watching too and she also laughed
(no offense, but) Damn...
+Lucas Davis no offense taken whatsoever.
Damn to my friends though :)
She didn't even struggle in the water, either. She just sunk like a rock, like the Titanic.
man, poor frank, he simply didn't understand
Only scene we got to in class... never have we laughed so hard at something so dark and disturbing.
Jamie Plata I laughed hard
How many people coming after thyview
I love these classics.
"Can you swim?"
"No"
2:29
Micheal Jackson's dad was about 3 years old when this movie came out
Very hard to find the full movie. I remember watching as a kid (early 70's). I can understand why this part was censored for such a long time as it was enough to give you nightmares.
There was also a parody of this movie where instead of him throwing the child into the water, they're playing on a seesaw, she's thrown into the air, through her bedroom window onto her bed & knocks herself out. Hilarious.
I think he was trying to reach for her then gave up
als kind keek ik er naar en had er steeds nachtmerries van en toch kon ik het niet laten en nu nog steeds krijg ik er kippevel van maar vond het de beste horrorfilm aller tijden!
After watching this clip of this,it makes me think...Frankenstein would've been the UFC champ back in 1993,total bad ass,would have been great!
Frankenstein is the scientist
ThreeToyHunters 101
Victor Von Frankenstein is the scientist..however the "monster" thinks his name is Adam Frankenstein. Technically he can be called Frankenstein assuming he thinks the one who created him is his father.
I find this so ridiculous cause the water wouldn't even be deep at that point in real life
You're both right a lake would not be that deep and it is an old movie.
Hello? Children drown in shallow pools and even bathtubs ever year.
You are an idiot, a child can drown on a cup of water and some cant swim and panic, back in the day movies was great, today you young stupid people only like special effects, movies made from computers.
Kory Kervoko. I'd prefer old scary movies myself ahh wish I was born in the 30s
Agustín Magallanes
we don't want your modern movies.
Those lakes, up in the monoliths of Europe are another world.
When Maria stands up to see the monster her Kitty mysteriously disappeared.
The way she says “your hurting me” in the most soulless voice ever before just being tossed in the lake and immediately sinking is absolutely hilarious to me
this is still hilarious
I honestly never saw the original Frankenstein. So it kind of confused me in Mel Brooks Young Frankenstein when the girl asks "What shall we throw in now?" and the monster just looks into the camera with a slight grin.
I remembered this scene, and the comparison to Lenny, from “Of Mice and Men”, came to mind. Both are simple, kind souls, misunderstood. Both accidentally kill a young girl due to a misunderstanding. Sadly, the Monster didn’t die blissfully hopeful and happy, to the sorrowful hand of a loving friend. Where Lenny’s death was merciful, yet tragic, the Monster’s was violent and sad, dying to a hateful mob, and a fire can be one of the worst ways to go. Both sad, akin souls, whom you can’t help but pity.
