Hello friends, Here I am going to write a blog on movie review of Frankenstein. Which is assigned by Yesha ma'am.
Frankenstein
Task 1 :
∆ Movie Review :
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is a never miss. It’s a good movie.Frankenstein is a science-fiction novel written by Mary Shelley. It was first published in 1818 and the first edition was anonymous because that was the only way Shelley could publish her book, definitely it was a difficult time for female writers... Fornutaley, the second edition was published with the name of the author and that’s how we know who wrote it.
This movie is about Victor Frankenstein, a scientist and doctor who has a revolutionary idea: to create a new human from corpse parts and giving him life thanks to science. We all have an idea of what this story is about: a green, grotesque, lumbering, giant monster, but this novel has so much more than that. It is a story about the meaning of life, death, love, friendship and revenge. It shows us different sides of the story: from the creator who feds-up his creation, and the perspective of the creation, who is desperate to be loved and understood. In this way, we get to know both main characters, their personalities and ambitions. Personally, I really enjoyed watching it, it was a great experience not only for watching a movie, but also to reflect on how we all need someone we can trust in. Besides, the style of the author makes a beautiful narration of the actions, feelings and thoughts of the characters. This is a movie you shouldn’t miss, I definitely recommend it.
At the end of the movie, Victor dies on Robert Walton’s ship in the Arctic Circle. The boat captain finds his body and the monster who mourns Victor’s death in the room. The Creature disappears from the boat to kill himself. Victor and the monster die in the end. But the nature of their deaths is different.
Frankenstein is a young and ambitious scientist who uses the pieces of a dead body to put together and apply electrical force to create a living animal in the shape of a human, slightly larger than an ordinary human. A creature with a scary face that has sewing marks all over its body. This creature is so horrible that everyone, even its creator, escapes from his evils. A monster whose creator can not control it and is subdued by it.
Task 2 :
# Questions and Answers :
∆ Villain in Frankenstein :
→ In the movie, the villain is Victor Frankenstein with no doubt. He tried to play God by creating a creature and then left it on its own. Being ambitious is commendable, but being over ambitious is reprehensible. Frankenstein was extreme with regard to his passion and ambition. He did not think about the repercussions of his actions. He could be the prototype of the mad scientist, who is consumed in his ambitions and inventions that he ignores the consequences it has on his surrounding.
∆ Who decides what beauty is? Is it for real or Superficial? (Outer beauty v/s inner beauty)
→ Inner beauty refers to the personality of a person including his/her mind and character. Whereas outer beauty simply refers to the looks of a person. It can easily be faked and changed through makeup, dressing, surgery etc.
"A beautiful face cannot hide an ugly heart for long."
I believe that most people value the inside beauty more. Although I must say that I feel that men want both in a woman. I’m not saying that women don’t mind ugly people, just that women are more flexible when it comes to outside beauty.
However, when you first meet a person, you can’t really see the inside; so you look for the outside because that is what is apparent. You look for outside beauty, and hope that the inside is just as beautiful.
Shelley suggests that appearances can indicate someone's inner self, but only because society inevitably reacts to beautiful people in a way that makes them able to be good—and to ugly people in a way that makes them turn out evil. Through her characters, Shelley emphasizes the unfortunate importance of beauty in first impressions, the superiority of good-looking individuals, and reliance on outer beauty for pleasure. It’s although inner beauty lacks importance and outer beauty is all that is significant to humanity. We are introduced to several good-looking characters, such as Elizabeth and Justine, and a much less appealing one, the creature, who serve as clear examples of the lack of regard for one’s inner-self and the dejected consequences of not being attractive.
∆ Why Victor was not able to accept his dream experiment and its results?
→ Victor Frankenstein is the protagonist of Frankenstein. His goal is to achieve something great and morally good, he creates the Monster.
Victor wanted to experiment on dead men and make them alive. He wanted to take the place of God. He continues his experiments and finally succeeds in it but he creates a monster, seeing him Victor rejects him. The monster is very sad to seeing that, the monster is very sad because the person who created him rejects him. Besides, the society also rejects the monster. So the monster gets very sad. Due to his bad appearance, society and people were rejecting him. Victor regrets his experiment and is unable to accept his dream experiment and it's results.
∆ What made Creature a Monster?
→ The monster created by Victor Frankenstein is rejected by human society because of his appearance. Mary Shelley explores the feelings of creature totally ignored and abused by the society. The novel became a reflection of the inner state of Mary Shelly. It reflects sufferings and looses of the author.
The monster feels loneliness and alienation. It seeks for understanding and love but can not find a living creature which would share its feelings.Physical appearance becomes the main barrier for the creature. It does not allow it to build normal relations in the society. People do not make any attempts to find out about the inner world of the Monster after they saw how it looks.The monster was created by Victor only physically. In reality it was crated by the society. Indifferent attitude and disgust finally resulted in the birth of real monster which threatens its creator and society.
Victor's anger towards the monster seems to be a vent of his own anger towards himself as he realises the time he has wasted, the relationships he has missed out on and his family's tragedies. He blames the creature for his obsession with success.While Victor feels unmitigated hatred for his creation, the monster shows that he is not a purely evil being.
∆ Why Society has rejected Victor’s idea of experiment and then the result of his experiment?
→ Society rejected Victor's experiment because Victor had created a monster that was too terrifying. He was rejected by society. This was the same demon that killed Victor's relatives one by one. So now Victor tries to save his wife at any cost but in the end the monster kills his wife too and at the end of the movie Victor is left alone and realizes what the monster must have experienced from society and people in isolation.
Thank you...
