00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:12.880
It's time to turn out the light, grab some popcorn,
2
00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:16.620
and watch some horror movies. This is the Terrible Terror Podcast.
3
00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:19.070
Each episode, I delve into the world of horror movies.
4
00:00:19.429 --> 00:00:21.460
Why do I do it? Well, I can't really explain it,
5
00:00:21.530 --> 00:00:24.089
but I love these horrifying flicks. So if you made
6
00:00:24.109 --> 00:00:25.829
your own movie on your phone or made your own
7
00:00:25.870 --> 00:00:29.190
special effects MacGyver style, please send it my way. Now
8
00:00:29.230 --> 00:00:31.210
what do you get when you take the monster who
9
00:00:31.269 --> 00:00:34.890
originated the phrase, fuck them kids, and put them in
10
00:00:34.929 --> 00:00:38.689
a classic movie? Why, you get Frankenstein.
11
00:00:38.710 --> 00:00:40.829
Frankenstein.
12
00:01:08.700 --> 00:01:11.189
Why hello everyone and welcome to a brand new episode
13
00:01:11.219 --> 00:01:15.269
of the Terrible Terror Podcast and we are back still
14
00:01:15.489 --> 00:01:19.950
in the 1930s and we are looking at Frankenstein starring
15
00:01:20.090 --> 00:01:24.569
a certain one Boris Karloff who was not even put
16
00:01:24.750 --> 00:01:27.670
in the credits of this film. When you look at
17
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:31.239
the film you see the monster and Boris Karloff's name
18
00:01:31.620 --> 00:01:36.250
is not present at all. And this is one of
19
00:01:36.310 --> 00:01:40.120
those films where there, there's a couple of interesting things that,
20
00:01:40.219 --> 00:01:43.359
that we had with it. And definitely, I mean, the
21
00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:45.430
reason that this movie even got off the ground was
22
00:01:45.489 --> 00:01:49.530
because Dracula did so well, right? The fact that when,
23
00:01:49.930 --> 00:01:54.709
you know, in, 1930, Universal Studios had lost like $ 2. 2
24
00:01:54.230 --> 00:01:57.859
million in revenues. And within 48 hours of opening at
25
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:01.799
the New York's Roxy Theater on February 12th of 1931,
26
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:07.400
Dracula had sold over 50,000 tickets, building momentum that culminated
27
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:13.169
in $ 700, 000 in profit, the largest of Universal's 1931 releases.
28
00:02:13.590 --> 00:02:17.550
And because of that, that's when Carl Lemieux Jr. announced
29
00:02:17.810 --> 00:02:21.129
that there would be more horror films. And they purchased
30
00:02:21.150 --> 00:02:26.139
the rights to John L. Balderton's, uh, Balderstun's, I'm sorry,
31
00:02:26.500 --> 00:02:33.180
planned stage adaption of Peggy Wibling's British stage adaption of Frankenstein.
32
00:02:33.979 --> 00:02:38.370
It's crazy. So, she did an adaption of an adaption
33
00:02:38.590 --> 00:02:42.729
which became this movie. And so, immediately following the success
34
00:02:42.770 --> 00:02:47.129
of Dracula, funny enough, that Bela Lugosi wanted to play
35
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:50.900
the monster. But originally, when they made the monster, they
36
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:55.490
made him more of a killing machine, less sympathetic, less
37
00:02:55.569 --> 00:02:58.050
childlike like you see him in this movie. This is
38
00:02:58.069 --> 00:03:02.419
still not Mary Shelley's Frankenstein by any means necessary, right?
39
00:03:02.930 --> 00:03:09.080
He doesn't have any speaking lines. He's still kind of... Like,
40
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:13.979
it's that. This is classic Frankenstein. Whenever you think of
41
00:03:14.020 --> 00:03:17.789
Frankenstein and you think about imagery of Frankenstein, this is
42
00:03:17.969 --> 00:03:21.009
what you automatically go to. That's what this is. But
43
00:03:21.509 --> 00:03:24.349
Lugosi didn't want to do that. And he didn't want
44
00:03:24.389 --> 00:03:27.650
to be not what, you know, Karloff ended up playing,
45
00:03:28.069 --> 00:03:30.199
but the original set for what they were going to
46
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:33.139
do and make him just a killing machine. And Lugosi
47
00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:36.439
just had no interest in doing that. And so he said, nope,
48
00:03:36.780 --> 00:03:38.979
I'm not going to do it. And then they try
49
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:40.919
to get a couple of different people and eventually Boris
50
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:44.500
Karloff dies. got the the role and he's iconic as
51
00:03:44.539 --> 00:03:48.409
the monster now funny enough too that legosi ended up
52
00:03:48.490 --> 00:03:52.810
playing frankenstein towards the end of his career in frankenstein
53
00:03:53.030 --> 00:03:56.030
meets the werewolf where he said the only way that
54
00:03:56.050 --> 00:03:57.840
he would play it is if he had speaking lines
55
00:03:58.250 --> 00:04:00.900
they gave him speaking lines in that movie and then
56
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:02.840
they cut all the speaking lines out of the film
57
00:04:03.259 --> 00:04:07.099
and then he plays the frankenstein monster as and i
58
00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:09.539
know i said frankenstein i'm gonna have like you know
59
00:04:10.069 --> 00:04:11.729
things in the back of my head every time I
60
00:04:11.750 --> 00:04:13.550
want to say the monster, I'm not going to fucking
61
00:04:13.650 --> 00:04:16.050
edit it out. So please excuse me if I say
62
00:04:16.110 --> 00:04:21.069
Frankenstein over the goddamn monster, but the monster itself, he
63
00:04:21.110 --> 00:04:23.740
was playing it as blind, right? Even though in that's
64
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:26.879
Frankenstein versus the Wolfman. And that's, you know, how you
65
00:04:26.899 --> 00:04:29.660
end up kind of growing up to realize, Oh, okay. Well,
66
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:31.800
I can just call him fucking Frankenstein. And I won't
67
00:04:31.819 --> 00:04:35.439
even think about these types of things, but in all honesty,
68
00:04:35.620 --> 00:04:38.500
you know, it is the monster. It's not necessarily Frankenstein.
69
00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:42.529
And frankly, What's funny, too, is in this film that
70
00:04:43.069 --> 00:04:46.550
it's Henry Frankenstein, and I believe it's supposed to be
71
00:04:46.790 --> 00:04:49.350
Victor Frankenstein is what it's supposed to be. It's weird
72
00:04:49.370 --> 00:04:53.709
that it's Henry, but hey, that's what it is. And supposedly,
73
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:56.519
as well, going back to Lugosi over here, there was
74
00:04:56.560 --> 00:05:00.120
a 20-minute test reel that starred Bill Lugosi as the monster,
75
00:05:00.620 --> 00:05:03.759
and it was filmed on the Dracula sets, but the
76
00:05:03.779 --> 00:05:07.779
footage has never been seen since 1931, totally considered to
77
00:05:07.819 --> 00:05:13.930
be lost out there. The big scene in the movie
78
00:05:13.970 --> 00:05:17.370
where we're bringing in the Frankenstein monster to life, that
79
00:05:17.709 --> 00:05:21.060
is like the pinnacle of special effects for the time
80
00:05:21.269 --> 00:05:25.399
and actually had a real Tesla coil from Tesla himself
81
00:05:25.860 --> 00:05:30.420
that was used in the film directly. And that scene, again,
82
00:05:30.980 --> 00:05:35.240
there are plenty of iconic moments in this movie from
83
00:05:35.819 --> 00:05:40.079
iconic moments of dialogue, to iconic moments that you see
84
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:43.019
for the first time on the silver screen, and that's
85
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:45.839
definitely one of them. The other thing is that this
86
00:05:45.939 --> 00:05:50.819
was in pre-code era of censorship within it. And so
87
00:05:50.939 --> 00:05:53.139
there's a bunch of stuff that actually did get taken
88
00:05:53.180 --> 00:05:56.540
out of this film that is no longer available to
89
00:05:56.819 --> 00:05:59.620
see in this film. But the two big things that
90
00:05:59.740 --> 00:06:02.519
were taken out of the film that we actually got
91
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:07.100
restored to the film... was the scene with Maria. That
92
00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:09.329
one was taken out because people thought it was too
93
00:06:09.370 --> 00:06:11.930
disturbing to watch. So they didn't want to see what
94
00:06:11.970 --> 00:06:14.560
Frankie was going to do to her or the monster
95
00:06:14.620 --> 00:06:17.509
was going to do to her. And then the scene
96
00:06:17.730 --> 00:06:20.649
after he creates the monster, the monster is given life,
97
00:06:21.110 --> 00:06:24.069
where he talks about like, you know, he's like, this
98
00:06:24.149 --> 00:06:26.689
is what it's like to be God. And people thought
99
00:06:26.709 --> 00:06:29.350
that it was really blasphemous back in the day. And
100
00:06:29.410 --> 00:06:32.769
so that was removed and taken out. Eventually was added
101
00:06:32.829 --> 00:06:36.060
back in after censorships and stuff died down. And I
102
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:38.839
think it was actually in the 80s when the Maria
103
00:06:38.899 --> 00:06:42.240
scene actually was re-added to the movie. So what you
104
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:45.839
see currently nowadays for a long time was thought lost.
105
00:06:46.269 --> 00:06:49.079
and it's no longer lost, which is really cool. But
106
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:51.600
there's a bunch of other stuff that was, like, there
107
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:55.459
are 32 scenes that, you know, well, they requested 32
108
00:06:55.459 --> 00:06:58.550
scenes removed, and it would have cut the film in half,
109
00:06:59.350 --> 00:07:02.949
which is ridiculous. But it did get cut quite a
110
00:07:02.990 --> 00:07:07.389
bit from its 1931 original, and, you know, state censorship
111
00:07:07.410 --> 00:07:11.459
boards in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and New York did it, and
112
00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:13.560
those states are all, like I said, objected to the
113
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:17.199
blasphemous line that occurred with Victor and Henry. And it's
114
00:07:17.259 --> 00:07:21.000
funny that his friend, his best man, is named Victor
115
00:07:21.180 --> 00:07:23.050
where he is named Henry. It's just one of the
116
00:07:23.269 --> 00:07:26.269
few things. In the Irish Free State, the film was
117
00:07:26.310 --> 00:07:31.120
banned on February 5th of 1932 for being demoralizing and
118
00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:35.790
unsuitable for children or nervous people. Age-restricted certificates were not
119
00:07:35.850 --> 00:07:39.310
introduced in the country until 1965, and that decision was
120
00:07:39.389 --> 00:07:41.930
overturned by the appeal board on March 8th, and the
121
00:07:41.970 --> 00:07:46.740
film was actually passed uncut on March 9th there over
122
00:07:46.939 --> 00:07:50.740
in the Irish Free State, which I'm assuming is now Ireland,
123
00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:52.160
and maybe one of these days I'll have to reach
124
00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:55.000
out to Richard and get some more information on that.
125
00:07:55.540 --> 00:07:58.800
But yeah, there was, you know, eventually there was this
126
00:07:58.899 --> 00:08:03.230
production code that happened in 1934 in England, there are
127
00:08:03.649 --> 00:08:06.850
cuts that Universal made from the original camera negative, and
128
00:08:07.269 --> 00:08:11.959
most of the excised footage is now often lost. So
129
00:08:12.699 --> 00:08:16.319
it's interesting for the way that it is. And the
130
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:22.639
film is definitely different than Dracula. I feel that Dracula,
131
00:08:22.819 --> 00:08:26.370
even with its length, is still methodical and relatively slow.
132
00:08:26.889 --> 00:08:29.889
It might be relatively slow for most people, where this
133
00:08:30.389 --> 00:08:34.649
feels faster. And it's about the same length. It's versus
134
00:08:34.710 --> 00:08:37.350
like one hour and 10 minutes for this film versus
135
00:08:37.470 --> 00:08:40.190
one hour and 17 minutes. So it's only seven minutes longer,
136
00:08:40.629 --> 00:08:44.250
but at parts, the OG Dracula does feel like it drags.
137
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:47.639
It's not quite like Bram Stoker's Dracula where parts of
138
00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:50.399
that do feel like they drag forever, but that's a
139
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:52.820
lot more in depth version of the story. trying to
140
00:08:52.860 --> 00:08:55.879
be closer to the actual novel versus what was done
141
00:08:56.269 --> 00:09:01.129
in our old 1931 version. But here, everything feels like
142
00:09:01.190 --> 00:09:04.889
it moves so much faster, even though there is a
143
00:09:05.230 --> 00:09:08.269
lot of dialogue in this movie. It's still a stage
144
00:09:08.330 --> 00:09:12.019
production that is being brought onto film, which is a
145
00:09:12.059 --> 00:09:15.360
lot of what the old, old, old school movies were,
146
00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:18.840
which I talked about last time in the Dracula episode. So,
147
00:09:19.379 --> 00:09:21.639
It's very interesting to see where things go with this.
148
00:09:22.059 --> 00:09:26.049
And how exactly these movies progress. And I think that
149
00:09:26.409 --> 00:09:29.389
the decision to do them in order versus in reverse
150
00:09:29.490 --> 00:09:32.549
order is actually the better decision that I made. It's, hey,
151
00:09:32.710 --> 00:09:35.169
I actually did something that I think is actually good.
152
00:09:35.710 --> 00:09:37.950
So we can actually see the progression of how the
153
00:09:38.009 --> 00:09:42.289
Universal Horror Mills have actually learned from each of the
154
00:09:42.340 --> 00:09:44.220
movies that they've produced.
155
00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:44.659
Right?
156
00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:45.389
And.
157
00:09:45.990 --> 00:09:48.090
There are a couple of things with the film. This
158
00:09:48.129 --> 00:09:50.259
is the very first film to use the Castle Thunder
159
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:52.659
sound effect coming along at the very beginning of the
160
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:54.759
sound era. It was so classic that it remained in
161
00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:58.730
circulation until right into the 21st century and is now
162
00:09:58.909 --> 00:10:02.259
often used more of an homage homage homage what the
163
00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:04.850
fuck is wrong with me to its time frame rather
164
00:10:04.889 --> 00:10:08.769
than something that's unique right that's there the shoes that
165
00:10:08.809 --> 00:10:11.490
were worn by the monster by karloff in this movie
166
00:10:11.529 --> 00:10:14.440
are known as hot asphalt boots They were used by
167
00:10:14.500 --> 00:10:18.840
men to work on hot asphalt roads, and the souls
168
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:22.279
are specifically designed to resist the heat. It took about
169
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:25.340
four hours per day for Karloff to put the makeup
170
00:10:25.419 --> 00:10:28.320
on for the monster in this movie, and it was
171
00:10:28.580 --> 00:10:33.639
supposedly incredibly heavy as it was. You know, we have
172
00:10:34.090 --> 00:10:36.990
a bunch of other returning actors. Well, we have other
173
00:10:37.190 --> 00:10:40.870
favorites that will reoccur in the Universal horror film universe.
174
00:10:42.149 --> 00:10:44.090
And the one that you're going to recognize right away,
175
00:10:44.470 --> 00:10:47.149
of course, is going to be Edward Van Sloan, who
176
00:10:47.190 --> 00:10:51.230
plays Dr. Waldman in this movie. And Dr. Waldman, well,
177
00:10:51.730 --> 00:10:54.710
the actor, he was Van Helsing in the first movie,
178
00:10:54.850 --> 00:10:57.529
he's in this, and he's going to be in, you know,
179
00:10:57.570 --> 00:11:02.500
spoiler alert, our next movie, The Mummy, as well. It's crazy.
180
00:11:02.529 --> 00:11:05.059
You need a doctor-like guy, you're going to go ahead
181
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:08.159
and get Edward Van Sloan. That's exactly who you're going
182
00:11:08.179 --> 00:11:10.059
to get. But we had a couple other people that
183
00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:14.100
ended up being recurring character, well, character actors that were
184
00:11:14.139 --> 00:11:17.080
going to be other ones. Frederick Kerr, he was going to,
185
00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:19.820
he ends up being in a couple of things, as
186
00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:22.919
well as Michael Mark, who plays Maria's father in the movie.
187
00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:24.580
He ends up being in a couple of the films
188
00:11:24.980 --> 00:11:28.559
later on as well. This film has a significant impact
189
00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:31.600
on popular culture, where the imagery of the maniacal mad
190
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:36.610
scientist is, and the Hunchback Assistant, and the film's depiction
191
00:11:36.769 --> 00:11:40.940
of the Frankenstein monster have since become iconic. So those
192
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:43.539
things have kind of all been played off each other
193
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:47.730
and have been... basically spawned from this movie. If Dracula
194
00:11:47.889 --> 00:11:52.970
invented what would become the horror genre, then Frankenstein was
195
00:11:53.029 --> 00:11:56.769
the start of kind of perfecting it and unleashing new
196
00:11:56.970 --> 00:12:01.230
ideas onto the world. These aren't new creatures, they aren't
197
00:12:01.450 --> 00:12:04.529
new stories, but this is a new thing in film
198
00:12:04.669 --> 00:12:09.019
and becoming like pop culture phenomenon and really is what
199
00:12:09.139 --> 00:12:13.139
driving the horror movie forward is. And really getting us
200
00:12:13.299 --> 00:12:17.600
into having a lot more horror movies. So without further ado.
201
00:12:17.860 --> 00:12:21.070
And like I said. One of these days I'm going
202
00:12:21.090 --> 00:12:23.850
to do Bride of Frankenstein. It's just one of those things.
203
00:12:24.210 --> 00:12:26.210
I know I'm going to be skipping over it in
204
00:12:26.250 --> 00:12:29.210
these ones. Because technically after I do The Invisible Man.
205
00:12:29.309 --> 00:12:31.350
I should be doing Bride of Frankenstein. If I want
206
00:12:31.370 --> 00:12:33.879
to do the Universal Horror Movies in a row. But
207
00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:37.080
I just want to do that differently. Because it is
208
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:39.980
a sequel. And we can talk about it at some point.
209
00:12:40.220 --> 00:12:42.419
But I really do want to do that. And maybe
210
00:12:42.440 --> 00:12:45.620
it'll be sometime later this year. Who knows? After we
211
00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:48.629
get through all the classic horror stuff that's there. But
212
00:12:48.710 --> 00:12:51.789
enough of me fucking rambling here and going off and
213
00:12:51.809 --> 00:12:54.210
making this intro longer than it needs to be. There
214
00:12:54.250 --> 00:12:56.529
is a lot of shit. There is a lot of
215
00:12:56.610 --> 00:13:00.850
shit about fucking Frankenstein. that you can go through. And
216
00:13:01.210 --> 00:13:03.889
as much as I want to go through all like,
217
00:13:04.210 --> 00:13:06.950
you know, a hundred different things that we've got here
218
00:13:07.549 --> 00:13:11.350
and you know, that it's technically, these aren't horror movies.
219
00:13:11.370 --> 00:13:15.460
This horror wasn't used until 1934, but really these are
220
00:13:15.500 --> 00:13:18.580
fucking horror movies that are there. But who, who really
221
00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:22.240
gives a shit about that stuff? But anyway, so remember
222
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:24.620
how last time I said on Dracula, there was an
223
00:13:24.700 --> 00:13:26.379
intro that's been lost to time.
224
00:13:26.899 --> 00:13:27.100
Right.
225
00:13:27.220 --> 00:13:30.159
It was cut and it's never been restored. It's a
226
00:13:30.179 --> 00:13:35.179
lost piece of film. Well, current versions of Frankenstein actually
227
00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:38.830
have that type of intro here. So to start the film,
228
00:13:38.850 --> 00:13:42.169
we're going to get an introduction directly to the film
229
00:13:42.429 --> 00:13:44.289
and the story of Frankenstein.
230
00:13:44.850 --> 00:13:45.370
How do you do?
231
00:13:49.289 --> 00:13:49.549
Mr.
232
00:13:49.610 --> 00:13:52.049
Carl Emily feels it would be a little unkind to
233
00:13:52.070 --> 00:13:54.870
present this picture without just a word of friendly warning.
234
00:13:56.519 --> 00:14:00.440
We are about to unfold the story of Frankenstein, a
235
00:14:00.500 --> 00:14:04.480
man of science who sought to create a man after
236
00:14:04.539 --> 00:14:10.480
his own image, without reckoning upon God. It is one
237
00:14:10.500 --> 00:14:14.850
of the strangest tales ever told. It deals with the
238
00:14:14.950 --> 00:14:21.509
two great mysteries of creation, life and death. I think
239
00:14:21.549 --> 00:14:26.299
it will thrill you. It may shock you. It might
240
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:30.529
even horrify you. So if any of you feel that
241
00:14:30.549 --> 00:14:32.409
you do not care to subject your nerves to such
242
00:14:32.450 --> 00:14:35.389
a strain, now is your chance to.
243
00:14:36.669 --> 00:14:38.769
Well, we warned you.
244
00:14:39.590 --> 00:14:43.889
Well, we warned you. Like, it's cool. I really like
245
00:14:44.149 --> 00:14:46.539
having this at the beginning of this film. I don't
246
00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:50.960
know why. Because this feels really old-timey. But this feels
247
00:14:51.379 --> 00:14:56.769
like those old, like, castle films, right? that those ones
248
00:14:56.850 --> 00:14:59.950
where you, you had these, the guy come out and
249
00:15:00.009 --> 00:15:02.389
explain how you're going to be scared to death and
250
00:15:02.750 --> 00:15:04.769
you better not, you know, if you need to leave
251
00:15:04.850 --> 00:15:07.159
or you need to have somebody, we've got somebody here
252
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:09.779
in the audience for you, but it's just fucking cool.
253
00:15:09.899 --> 00:15:12.000
I don't know what it is when old movies have this,
254
00:15:12.379 --> 00:15:14.899
if this had this nowadays, actually, I probably would think
255
00:15:14.919 --> 00:15:18.200
would be really fucking cool. If somebody really went back and,
256
00:15:18.549 --> 00:15:22.389
and did this old school horror thing before their movies.
257
00:15:22.470 --> 00:15:25.110
Like if we had, let's just take Resident Evil, however
258
00:15:25.129 --> 00:15:28.259
you feel about that film, whatever. But if Craig came
259
00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:32.220
out and he, before he's like, you know, you guys,
260
00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:35.139
this might be something that's going to scare the living
261
00:15:35.259 --> 00:15:38.070
shit out of you. And, you know, we're going to
262
00:15:38.110 --> 00:15:41.009
warn you, if you can't quite take it, maybe you
263
00:15:41.029 --> 00:15:44.269
should just leave the theater. But for those with, you know,
264
00:15:44.909 --> 00:15:48.929
Not so weak of hearts. Here is Resident Evil. Like
265
00:15:48.970 --> 00:15:51.429
that type of shit. Like that would just be fucking cool.
266
00:15:51.450 --> 00:15:54.929
Like I like these types of maybe gimmicky feeling things.
267
00:15:55.470 --> 00:15:58.580
But to me it's not really that gimmicky. It just
268
00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:02.740
adds into the flavor of the movie itself. And here
269
00:16:02.980 --> 00:16:06.919
with Frankenstein in general. And with I think this genre
270
00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:09.720
that is building. Because like I said horror wasn't really
271
00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:13.110
considered to be a movie genre until 34. And so
272
00:16:13.610 --> 00:16:17.110
you have this genre building itself here with these movies,
273
00:16:17.590 --> 00:16:21.029
and while audiences don't exactly know what to expect, they
274
00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:23.360
just think that it's a movie that's a drama or
275
00:16:23.419 --> 00:16:26.440
whatever it's going to be, and that, you know, they
276
00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:29.039
feel that, hey, maybe this is going to be too
277
00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:32.919
scary for you. Now, for us modern audiences, this is
278
00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:37.629
not scary at all. It is remotely not scary. But again...
279
00:16:37.779 --> 00:16:40.009
You have to think in the mindset of an audience
280
00:16:40.049 --> 00:16:43.690
of 1931 that's never seen anything like this. The talkies
281
00:16:43.730 --> 00:16:46.190
were just started a couple years prior to it or
282
00:16:46.250 --> 00:16:49.529
even a year prior to this. So you're getting these
283
00:16:49.669 --> 00:16:54.049
films that are dealing with subjects that have never really
284
00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:57.759
been shown on the screen. You've had old school ones.
285
00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:00.039
There is a Frankenstein from way back in the day
286
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:04.019
prior to this film. But nothing that gives you, in
287
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:08.230
my opinion personally... the emotion that these films and that
288
00:17:08.630 --> 00:17:13.299
pictures with, you know, The talkies, basically, is the way
289
00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:15.059
that I'm going to have to say it. That the
290
00:17:15.099 --> 00:17:19.779
talkies can provide an audience. While examples like Nosferatu or
291
00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:22.859
Phantom of the Opera can do that for an audience
292
00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:26.750
with the way that things look and how shadows are
293
00:17:26.910 --> 00:17:29.430
used in the film and how the music accompanies it,
294
00:17:29.849 --> 00:17:32.430
you have to also imagine, again, just like with Dracula,
295
00:17:32.750 --> 00:17:35.430
there really isn't a score to this movie that goes
296
00:17:35.589 --> 00:17:38.670
on during the background like we're used to nowadays. Because
297
00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:42.779
that would confuse audiences that grew up watching silent pictures,
298
00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:45.420
that it had scores in them. And so you have
299
00:17:45.460 --> 00:17:49.380
to go through these films with... There has to be
300
00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:52.859
a level of understanding... It's so hard for me to
301
00:17:52.900 --> 00:17:55.299
be like, I feel like I'm defending these films when
302
00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:57.900
I don't really have to defend anything at all with
303
00:17:57.920 --> 00:17:58.619
these movies.
304
00:17:59.119 --> 00:17:59.329
Right.
305
00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:03.529
They're classics. That's what they are. But modern audiences or
306
00:18:03.630 --> 00:18:06.390
those that have never, ever seen a movie like this
307
00:18:06.450 --> 00:18:09.349
before may look at it and be like, I can't
308
00:18:09.390 --> 00:18:10.890
believe you like that type of thing.
309
00:18:11.390 --> 00:18:11.970
Oh, like.
310
00:18:12.349 --> 00:18:15.710
Not everybody is going to be that way. And aficionados
311
00:18:15.869 --> 00:18:17.809
aren't going to be that way. Cause you always want
312
00:18:17.829 --> 00:18:20.309
to see where you came from, right? History is a
313
00:18:20.349 --> 00:18:22.589
thing because you want to learn from your past mistakes,
314
00:18:22.910 --> 00:18:24.829
but you also want to learn what people did right
315
00:18:24.910 --> 00:18:28.099
so that you can do it right today. And these
316
00:18:28.259 --> 00:18:31.539
are films, in my opinion, that do it right. And
317
00:18:31.579 --> 00:18:34.279
that really set up the mood. And I think that
318
00:18:34.460 --> 00:18:39.039
with this film, like with Dracula, it was more about
319
00:18:39.140 --> 00:18:42.200
the character actors, right? In those films. I'm not going
320
00:18:42.220 --> 00:18:44.769
to diminish any of the actors that are in this movie.
321
00:18:45.180 --> 00:18:48.130
I think that everybody does actually a relatively good job.
322
00:18:48.529 --> 00:18:50.009
But there are a couple things that are going to
323
00:18:50.049 --> 00:18:52.289
be missing in this film. Some of the humor from
324
00:18:52.329 --> 00:18:56.089
Dracula is completely gone in this. To me, personally. There
325
00:18:56.230 --> 00:19:00.769
is kind of comedic relief. With Frankenstein's father. But it's
326
00:19:00.950 --> 00:19:04.670
more like common sense. Or like sign of the times.
327
00:19:04.769 --> 00:19:08.369
Type of comedic relief. And not necessarily something. That was
328
00:19:08.470 --> 00:19:12.299
done specifically for the comedy. Where I feel like Martin.
329
00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:16.039
In the last movie was done. For the comedy in particular.
330
00:19:16.380 --> 00:19:21.160
To like lighten the mood. But whereas with Dracula. I
331
00:19:21.259 --> 00:19:25.890
felt that it was the actors. Especially Lugosi. That made
332
00:19:25.950 --> 00:19:30.579
you fearful. Of what was going on. Whereas this, this
333
00:19:30.690 --> 00:19:35.819
is truly like the gothic look and feel. And it
334
00:19:35.940 --> 00:19:39.759
is not necessarily the actors that really get you into
335
00:19:39.799 --> 00:19:43.240
the frights. Even though the monster is scary and this
336
00:19:43.309 --> 00:19:46.150
movie would have been scary for the time, right? But
337
00:19:46.230 --> 00:19:48.789
I really think it's the setting and the way the
338
00:19:48.950 --> 00:19:51.980
sets are. and the way the atmosphere in this movie,
339
00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:56.980
it carries a lot more weight than Dracula does. And
340
00:19:57.299 --> 00:20:00.700
that's part of the reason why I really love this
341
00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:03.980
movie because I love the aesthetic of this movie. I
342
00:20:04.019 --> 00:20:09.930
think that the set design is phenomenal. This feels a little...
343
00:20:10.380 --> 00:20:14.720
less like a play than Dracula does where, but there
344
00:20:14.829 --> 00:20:18.950
are moments where it feels more like a play. Like
345
00:20:19.049 --> 00:20:22.890
it's weird to say that like the opening scene, for example, not,
346
00:20:22.970 --> 00:20:25.250
not our dude talking to us, but while they're in
347
00:20:25.269 --> 00:20:27.450
the graveyard, right. And then the opening scene of this
348
00:20:27.529 --> 00:20:30.930
movie are, you know, people they're at a funeral, they're
349
00:20:30.950 --> 00:20:34.140
burying the guy into the ground. There's the priest, everybody's crying,
350
00:20:34.519 --> 00:20:38.509
but it's just, it's dark. It's dreary. It's, it is
351
00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:41.009
very somber in the way that it is and seeing
352
00:20:41.049 --> 00:20:44.460
the priests out there and everybody just kind of hanging
353
00:20:44.500 --> 00:20:46.890
their heads and But then you look into the background
354
00:20:46.930 --> 00:20:49.809
and there's a skull statue that just happens to be
355
00:20:49.890 --> 00:20:53.119
back there with these trees that are just barren of
356
00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:56.660
any type of leaves. The set does a lot and
357
00:20:56.720 --> 00:20:59.700
it brings you into the movie. And then you see
358
00:20:59.900 --> 00:21:04.130
Fritz and Henry Frankenstein like behind the gate just slowly
359
00:21:04.210 --> 00:21:07.009
pop out. And you're just kind of like, what the
360
00:21:07.049 --> 00:21:09.549
hell is going on? And if this is your first time,
361
00:21:09.910 --> 00:21:12.279
it's funny too, because it almost looks like it's straight
362
00:21:12.460 --> 00:21:14.799
out of the fucking haunted mansion in the way that
363
00:21:14.819 --> 00:21:18.009
some of the animatronics like slowly pop up over the graves,
364
00:21:18.369 --> 00:21:22.390
but that's what they do. That's what's happening here. And,
365
00:21:23.049 --> 00:21:26.269
It's a cool little revelation. It's a cool little spot
366
00:21:26.329 --> 00:21:29.490
check just for this. As there's people crying and the
367
00:21:29.630 --> 00:21:33.690
bells are tolling in the background. It's just a good setup.
368
00:21:34.170 --> 00:21:38.170
And it's so perfectly macabre and creepy that I could
369
00:21:38.230 --> 00:21:41.130
imagine why somebody would be kind of freaked out by
370
00:21:41.190 --> 00:21:46.410
what's going on here. So the funeral commences and everybody's
371
00:21:46.470 --> 00:21:49.750
leaving the site. Leaving only the grave diggers to dig
372
00:21:49.829 --> 00:21:54.940
up the grave. put dirt on the coffin. As we
373
00:21:55.019 --> 00:21:58.660
also see, I forgot what exactly he's called, but it's
374
00:21:58.740 --> 00:22:01.349
like kind of the mayor of the town. This takes
375
00:22:01.410 --> 00:22:04.359
place up in Bavaria, and it looks like I think
376
00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:06.880
it's just a gravedigger. He kind of looks like the
377
00:22:06.900 --> 00:22:08.829
mayor of the town. I don't think he actually is,
378
00:22:09.220 --> 00:22:11.990
but he has a specific name. And he starts shoveling
379
00:22:12.069 --> 00:22:15.390
dirt there on the body that's on the ground. So
380
00:22:15.509 --> 00:22:18.569
as he finishes covering the grave with dirt, he grabs
381
00:22:18.609 --> 00:22:21.940
his hat, grabs his smokes, and just leaves the scene.
382
00:22:22.339 --> 00:22:26.460
And that brings up Fritz, who happens to be our hunchback, right?
383
00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:30.519
Who you might call Igor, or in some cases, Igor.
384
00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:33.609
You know, just to make sure that everything is... proper
385
00:22:33.630 --> 00:22:37.369
and properly pronounced in this and you know he walks
386
00:22:37.549 --> 00:22:41.369
off and here comes frank and well frankie can i
387
00:22:41.390 --> 00:22:44.210
call him frankie should i call him henry what should
388
00:22:44.230 --> 00:22:46.339
i call him but they start digging up the body
389
00:22:46.420 --> 00:22:48.319
so that they can get him outside of the grave
390
00:22:48.700 --> 00:22:51.819
because that's the one body that frankenstein wants to use
391
00:22:51.859 --> 00:22:53.640
for his experiments the.
392
00:22:53.599 --> 00:22:58.829
Moon's rising we've no time to lose careful.
393
00:23:06.990 --> 00:23:07.920
Here he comes.
394
00:23:18.230 --> 00:23:20.950
He's just resting, waiting for a new life to come.
395
00:23:45.349 --> 00:23:45.869
Here we are.
396
00:23:53.440 --> 00:23:53.819
Look.
397
00:23:54.759 --> 00:23:56.119
It's still here.
398
00:23:59.220 --> 00:24:00.279
Climb up and cut the rope.
399
00:24:01.839 --> 00:24:02.480
No.
400
00:24:02.789 --> 00:24:03.220
Go on.
401
00:24:03.289 --> 00:24:34.089
It can't hurt you. Here's the knife. Look out. Here's
402
00:24:34.109 --> 00:24:34.569
the knife.
403
00:24:36.029 --> 00:24:36.710
Here I come.
404
00:24:41.589 --> 00:24:46.529
Is it all right? The neck's broken. The brain is useless.
405
00:24:48.109 --> 00:24:49.710
We must find another brain.
406
00:24:50.920 --> 00:24:52.200
Oh, where are you going to find another brain at
407
00:24:52.220 --> 00:24:54.599
this time of the hour? I mean, it's already two
408
00:24:54.640 --> 00:24:57.269
o'clock in the morning on a Thursday. You think that
409
00:24:57.289 --> 00:25:00.910
there's going to be a readily available brain for anybody
410
00:25:01.009 --> 00:25:03.930
else that's out there? Where could you possibly get one
411
00:25:04.269 --> 00:25:07.130
at this time of year, at this time of night,
412
00:25:07.529 --> 00:25:11.220
at this day in this climate out here in Bavaria?
413
00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:14.960
I mean, there couldn't possibly any place like the Goldstadt
414
00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:18.059
Medical College that you could go and steal a brain from.
415
00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:21.869
I mean, come on. that's not a place where you
416
00:25:21.890 --> 00:25:24.950
could actually go get a brain, is it? But I
417
00:25:25.009 --> 00:25:27.009
do like the way that this scene plays out. I'm
418
00:25:27.029 --> 00:25:28.730
going to like a lot of things in this movie,
419
00:25:28.769 --> 00:25:30.259
and I'm probably going to like a lot of things
420
00:25:30.339 --> 00:25:34.359
over this whole course of doing these movies. There's probably
421
00:25:34.490 --> 00:25:36.819
one of these that I'm not the biggest fan of,
422
00:25:36.960 --> 00:25:39.259
but we're going to see how it plays out when
423
00:25:39.299 --> 00:25:41.319
we get into the movie, when we begin to talk
424
00:25:41.380 --> 00:25:46.000
about it. But with this one, yeah, it's spoiled. Here
425
00:25:46.059 --> 00:25:47.940
I am. I'm a fucking fan of this movie. What
426
00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:52.359
can I fucking say? But Nonetheless, it's just a good
427
00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:54.960
setup of them going in there and how they're going
428
00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:57.769
to get it. And you get a feeling for Frankenstein here.
429
00:25:57.789 --> 00:26:01.609
And just it's not just the dialogue that's being put
430
00:26:01.710 --> 00:26:06.549
forth here. It's Colin Clive playing Frankenstein very, very well
431
00:26:06.990 --> 00:26:10.279
in this film. Without him, I don't think it makes
432
00:26:10.319 --> 00:26:11.200
it as compelling.
433
00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:11.839
Right.
434
00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:15.829
He's not. It's not as good as, like I said,
435
00:26:15.869 --> 00:26:19.490
some of the performances over there in Dracula I think
436
00:26:19.569 --> 00:26:21.880
are top notch. And we get to have one of
437
00:26:21.910 --> 00:26:24.599
those actors back over here again. But I even think
438
00:26:24.720 --> 00:26:27.880
then his performance is better in Dracula than it is
439
00:26:27.940 --> 00:26:31.400
in this movie. Still really good. It's just not exactly
440
00:26:31.619 --> 00:26:35.440
what I would have... It feels like kind of the same.
441
00:26:35.880 --> 00:26:39.480
And you'll get that as we introduce Walden and everything
442
00:26:39.519 --> 00:26:40.680
like that into the film.
443
00:26:41.220 --> 00:26:41.359
But.
444
00:26:42.079 --> 00:26:47.680
Here, Colin Clive really does an excellent job. And a
445
00:26:47.819 --> 00:26:50.119
lot of it is not necessarily, like I said, with
446
00:26:50.140 --> 00:26:52.799
the delivery of the lines. It is actually with his
447
00:26:52.900 --> 00:26:55.680
facial expressions. Like how he gets in there and like
448
00:26:55.900 --> 00:27:00.019
how giddy he seems to have the body that he wants.
449
00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:03.220
That everybody's gone. And even when he looks over the
450
00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:06.559
grave for the first time, it's almost with delight. And
451
00:27:06.839 --> 00:27:09.039
he's trying to hide, you know, make sure he doesn't
452
00:27:09.079 --> 00:27:11.720
get seen. But he's just like, oh, yes, the body
453
00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:14.259
is just being buried. I'm going to get that. And
454
00:27:14.299 --> 00:27:17.519
that's exactly what I want. That's the type of like
455
00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:19.920
feeling that you get from the actor. And even when
456
00:27:19.940 --> 00:27:22.480
he pulls it up and he's tired because he's been,
457
00:27:22.660 --> 00:27:24.859
you know, he's been digging up the grave once again
458
00:27:24.880 --> 00:27:28.619
with there with Fritz and even Fritz, his facial expressions,
459
00:27:29.269 --> 00:27:31.329
you know, that are going on in the little scene
460
00:27:31.390 --> 00:27:34.789
that's there. And that happens to be Dwight Frye, who
461
00:27:34.829 --> 00:27:38.880
plays Fritz in this movie. And like how he just
462
00:27:39.109 --> 00:27:43.710
seems to want his masters, you know, I would say affection,
463
00:27:43.809 --> 00:27:46.569
but acknowledgement in the way that he's doing things like
464
00:27:46.589 --> 00:27:48.630
how it was. Oh, I'm doing a good job. Am
465
00:27:48.710 --> 00:27:50.890
I doing a great job? Like that's the look on
466
00:27:50.930 --> 00:27:54.559
his face that he has there. And it's one of
467
00:27:54.599 --> 00:27:58.420
the few things that I thought that Frankenstein movie with
468
00:27:59.019 --> 00:28:01.859
what's his face? What's his nuts? You know, Harry Potter,
469
00:28:02.279 --> 00:28:04.680
Daniel Radcliffe. There we go. I knew I would remember
470
00:28:04.740 --> 00:28:08.710
the name. And then James McAvoy, who played Frankenstein, was
471
00:28:08.730 --> 00:28:10.910
the relationship between the two of them. I thought that
472
00:28:10.950 --> 00:28:13.259
was one of the best things about that movie in general.
473
00:28:13.670 --> 00:28:17.279
And it's just kind of funny here that while the
474
00:28:17.299 --> 00:28:21.839
relationship necessarily isn't that strong, like it isn't that in-depth
475
00:28:21.900 --> 00:28:26.599
in this, I think the relationship of Fritz to Frankenstein,
476
00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:29.240
Frankenstein kind of treats Fritz like shit.
477
00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:29.920
Right?
478
00:28:30.059 --> 00:28:31.900
Just in general. Just kind of bossing him around, even
479
00:28:31.920 --> 00:28:33.920
though they don't go over there. Oh, here, take the knife.
480
00:28:33.980 --> 00:28:36.329
Go cut that man down. Oh, but it's a little too... No,
481
00:28:36.349 --> 00:28:39.670
what are you fucking afraid of? Guy's fucking dead. Look, here, watch.
482
00:28:39.890 --> 00:28:41.910
I'm going to fucking wiggle his little toe. He's not
483
00:28:41.970 --> 00:28:43.650
fucking doing anything. He's not going to come to life
484
00:28:43.710 --> 00:28:47.529
and get you. Well, I mean, if my thing's successful,
485
00:28:47.589 --> 00:28:49.930
then I can always bring him back to life. and
486
00:28:49.970 --> 00:28:52.779
then he could, like, chase you around and possibly stalk you,
487
00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:53.990
but that's not gonna happen here.
488
00:28:54.470 --> 00:28:55.059
No, no, no, no.
489
00:28:55.099 --> 00:28:57.799
You don't have to worry about that right now. Okay? Fritz,
490
00:28:58.079 --> 00:29:00.559
go do your fucking job, go up there, cut the
491
00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:02.240
guy down, and let me see if I can use
492
00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:05.200
this body. To which they can't, because the neck's broken,
493
00:29:05.240 --> 00:29:07.619
which means the brain is fucking dead. Or at least
494
00:29:07.660 --> 00:29:10.799
the brain is not usable in the state that it's in,
495
00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:13.289
because all the circulation got cut up to the brain
496
00:29:13.589 --> 00:29:16.390
and possibly caused brain damage, and he needs to have
497
00:29:16.430 --> 00:29:17.589
an actual good brain.
498
00:29:18.029 --> 00:29:18.150
So.
499
00:29:18.650 --> 00:29:21.170
That's when we cut over to the Goldstadt Medical... Oh
500
00:29:21.190 --> 00:29:25.839
my god, the Goldstadt Medical College is nearby? Holy shit. Like,
501
00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:30.019
is that... Are they actually doing classes or something like that? Oh,
502
00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:33.299
I guess they are doing classes. And they're busy talking
503
00:29:33.339 --> 00:29:35.390
about bodies there. And this is where we get to
504
00:29:35.450 --> 00:29:38.890
meet Dr. Waldman, who talks about the two brains that
505
00:29:38.930 --> 00:29:41.109
he has in front of him... in front of his class.
506
00:29:41.650 --> 00:29:45.579
And in conclusion, ladies and gentlemen, here we have one
507
00:29:45.599 --> 00:29:47.519
of the most perfect specimens.
508
00:29:47.079 --> 00:29:49.279
Of the human brain that has ever come to my
509
00:29:49.319 --> 00:29:52.500
attention at the university. And here the abnormal brain of
510
00:29:52.539 --> 00:29:57.259
the typical criminal. Observe, ladies and gentlemen, the scarcity of
511
00:29:57.359 --> 00:30:00.569
convolutions on the frontal lobe as compared to that of
512
00:30:00.630 --> 00:30:03.089
the normal brain, and.
513
00:30:02.990 --> 00:30:05.410
The distinct degeneration.
514
00:30:05.269 --> 00:30:06.289
Of the middle frontal lobe.
515
00:30:07.710 --> 00:30:11.960
All of these degenerate characteristics check amazingly with the case history.
516
00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:14.380
Of the dead man before us, whose life was one
517
00:30:14.400 --> 00:30:19.220
of brutality, of violence, and murder. Both of these jars
518
00:30:19.259 --> 00:30:20.779
will remain here for your further inspection.
519
00:30:21.460 --> 00:30:22.759
Thank you, gentlemen. The glass is dismissed.
520
00:30:24.720 --> 00:30:27.559
So now we know all this is a bunch of bullshit, right? Like,
521
00:30:27.880 --> 00:30:30.410
People can have different brains for different reasons, but back
522
00:30:30.450 --> 00:30:33.009
in the day, they really were trying to, like, describe people.
523
00:30:33.430 --> 00:30:36.049
What is it called? Phrenology, for what it is, where
524
00:30:36.069 --> 00:30:39.630
you take out the giant, like, you know, weird tongue-looking things,
525
00:30:39.970 --> 00:30:42.470
and you can measure people's head, and that's the measurement
526
00:30:42.509 --> 00:30:44.809
of the brains, and prove that one person was different
527
00:30:44.829 --> 00:30:47.319
than the other, and how the person thinks is dependent
528
00:30:47.359 --> 00:30:50.279
upon how, like, the measurements between the different lobes and
529
00:30:50.339 --> 00:30:53.390
shit like that. That's basically what we've got here. Where
530
00:30:53.410 --> 00:30:56.289
he's just like, here, look at these two brains. You
531
00:30:56.329 --> 00:31:00.150
see this one? This one's absolutely normal. It likes to
532
00:31:00.190 --> 00:31:04.680
steal money from people in high-profit trades. And it likes
533
00:31:04.759 --> 00:31:07.940
to ruin other people's lives by creating laws that they
534
00:31:07.980 --> 00:31:10.680
have to follow, but they don't follow themselves. And everything's
535
00:31:10.779 --> 00:31:14.390
perfectly normal with this person. Now, here's the brain of
536
00:31:14.430 --> 00:31:16.890
an outright criminal. All this person wants to do is...
537
00:31:18.130 --> 00:31:21.960
Feed his family. That's it. But we all know that
538
00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:24.700
he's a criminal at heart, even though he doesn't seem
539
00:31:24.740 --> 00:31:27.269
to have done a specific thing at all at any
540
00:31:27.349 --> 00:31:29.930
point at any time. Oh, come on. Look at the
541
00:31:30.029 --> 00:31:33.190
extra wrinkles that this one has. It's not because this
542
00:31:33.269 --> 00:31:35.380
guy died over here at the age of 24. This
543
00:31:35.619 --> 00:31:37.559
guy over here died at the ripe old age of
544
00:31:37.579 --> 00:31:42.150
a 72? That 70-year-old was a fucking criminal. That's just
545
00:31:42.170 --> 00:31:45.190
the way that the brain works. Oh yes, I'm cherry-picking
546
00:31:45.230 --> 00:31:47.490
in what I want to prove my point, but I'm
547
00:31:47.569 --> 00:31:50.750
still proving my point here. Don't you see? That man
548
00:31:50.829 --> 00:31:54.339
is a criminal. This man is a fucking genius. Yes,
549
00:31:54.740 --> 00:31:57.400
even us scientists here back in the day, we loved
550
00:31:57.420 --> 00:32:01.279
to fucking swear up and down the fucking court, because
551
00:32:01.380 --> 00:32:04.559
that's what makes us smart. That's what makes us a genius.
552
00:32:04.859 --> 00:32:08.309
And that's what makes people like me. And people like
553
00:32:08.670 --> 00:32:13.970
you someday have perfectly normal brains and everything will be good. Now,
554
00:32:14.559 --> 00:32:17.559
if you have some ridges like those ruffles you like
555
00:32:17.599 --> 00:32:21.519
to eat over there, my class, Mr. Stenson. Yes, you.
556
00:32:21.980 --> 00:32:24.170
I told you to stop eating those goddamn chips.
557
00:32:24.690 --> 00:32:24.950
All right.
558
00:32:25.650 --> 00:32:27.849
Can wait till you're done with this class i have
559
00:32:27.990 --> 00:32:31.630
open fucking bodies over here don't you understand mr stenson
560
00:32:31.670 --> 00:32:33.619
how many times have i warned you about eating those
561
00:32:33.660 --> 00:32:38.319
delicious sour and cream ruffles over there okay yes i
562
00:32:38.359 --> 00:32:40.480
know they have ridges and they capture all the flavor
563
00:32:40.500 --> 00:32:42.839
of the chips that you could ever want but what
564
00:32:42.900 --> 00:32:45.000
happens if we're doing surgery in here one of these
565
00:32:45.019 --> 00:32:47.660
days and you're eating those goddamn chips and one of
566
00:32:47.700 --> 00:32:51.599
those chips falls inside the patient If that patient dies
567
00:32:51.660 --> 00:32:54.539
because it got some extra, you know, sour cream and
568
00:32:54.619 --> 00:32:57.819
cheddar on the inside, it's going to be my ass,
569
00:32:57.900 --> 00:33:01.019
not yours. So I bet that that man's brain is
570
00:33:01.119 --> 00:33:04.359
relatively wrinkly. You know what we could do, Mr. Stinson,
571
00:33:04.400 --> 00:33:06.859
if you were up for it? And I'm pretty sure
572
00:33:06.920 --> 00:33:09.460
that you might be. We can have a little bit
573
00:33:09.579 --> 00:33:13.500
of a live demonstration of what the wrinkly brain actually
574
00:33:13.579 --> 00:33:15.890
looks like in a guy that disobeys in front of
575
00:33:15.940 --> 00:33:19.720
his teacher. Now put those fucking chips away and let
576
00:33:19.779 --> 00:33:23.380
me continue on with my lesson. In fact, I'm so upset,
577
00:33:23.779 --> 00:33:29.750
class is dismissed. We shall go now. So anyway, goddammit,
578
00:33:30.289 --> 00:33:33.470
I'm a fucking idiot, is what I really am. But nonetheless,
579
00:33:33.509 --> 00:33:35.450
so after everybody leaves here in the class and he
580
00:33:35.509 --> 00:33:39.259
explains the whole bullshit about his brain technology that's when
581
00:33:39.339 --> 00:33:41.579
fritz breaks in and he goes to steal the brain
582
00:33:41.920 --> 00:33:44.119
and when he goes to grab the normal brain after
583
00:33:44.180 --> 00:33:47.029
he gets scared by the random fucking skeleton that's in
584
00:33:47.049 --> 00:33:49.630
there and it's nice that the the jar with the
585
00:33:49.670 --> 00:33:51.930
normal brain that's there has normal brain written on the
586
00:33:52.029 --> 00:33:54.890
outside all of a sudden there's a strike of thunder
587
00:33:54.930 --> 00:33:57.710
and lightning outside and he drops the brain onto the
588
00:33:57.769 --> 00:34:00.289
floor and destroys it and then he grabs the other
589
00:34:00.529 --> 00:34:04.420
one because it says abby normal huh That must be
590
00:34:04.460 --> 00:34:07.089
somebody's name. I mean, there couldn't be anything wrong with
591
00:34:07.130 --> 00:34:11.369
a brain from Abby Normal. I mean, Abby someone. That's
592
00:34:11.429 --> 00:34:13.750
perfectly fine. You don't have to worry about the brain
593
00:34:13.789 --> 00:34:16.489
that you're grabbing over there. So Fritz grabs the criminal's
594
00:34:16.550 --> 00:34:19.530
brain and just hightails it the fuck out of there.
595
00:34:19.889 --> 00:34:24.050
Like how nobody heard him dropping anything or possibly getting
596
00:34:24.130 --> 00:34:27.469
away with stuff, I'll never fucking know. But yes, that
597
00:34:27.550 --> 00:34:30.900
is the big start of how everything is going to
598
00:34:30.940 --> 00:34:34.440
go downhill in this movie because Fritz doesn't know the
599
00:34:34.480 --> 00:34:37.460
difference between a normal brain that he drops on the floor.
600
00:34:37.780 --> 00:34:40.079
I'm pretty sure he could have picked up the brain
601
00:34:40.559 --> 00:34:43.199
threw the other brain onto the floor, put the brain
602
00:34:43.239 --> 00:34:46.090
inside the weird liquid that he's got there, it's probably
603
00:34:46.110 --> 00:34:48.570
like formaldehyde or some bullshit like that, or maybe it's
604
00:34:48.590 --> 00:34:51.869
some magical fucking liquid that's just keeping the brain intact,
605
00:34:52.269 --> 00:34:55.909
and could have swapped them right then and there. I mean, okay,
606
00:34:55.969 --> 00:34:58.869
so it's just a little wet. It's just a little
607
00:34:58.889 --> 00:35:00.269
bit on the floor. It's got a little bit of
608
00:35:00.389 --> 00:35:02.889
dirt on it, okay? He didn't step on it. Maybe
609
00:35:02.909 --> 00:35:05.050
it's got a bruise here or there, but the brain
610
00:35:05.070 --> 00:35:07.949
would be perfectly fine. It's still fucking usable for what
611
00:35:08.010 --> 00:35:11.570
it is, but Just swap the brain out. Take the
612
00:35:11.849 --> 00:35:14.269
abnormal brain out, put the normal brain in. But we
613
00:35:14.329 --> 00:35:17.280
all know that Fritz is probably not that bright and
614
00:35:17.300 --> 00:35:19.420
just was like, huh, I'm going to go ahead and
615
00:35:19.460 --> 00:35:21.280
grab the other brain that happens to be on the
616
00:35:21.320 --> 00:35:24.050
counter and everything's going to be perfectly fine. We then
617
00:35:24.110 --> 00:35:27.969
change scenes over to meet Victor and Elizabeth, as Elizabeth
618
00:35:28.050 --> 00:35:32.610
is very worried about her fiancé Henry, who's gone into solitude,
619
00:35:32.929 --> 00:35:35.480
and the only person that could help her happens to
620
00:35:35.500 --> 00:35:39.940
be his best man, his best friend, Victor. Now, it's
621
00:35:40.039 --> 00:35:44.360
funny because it's like inferred here that Victor is actually
622
00:35:44.400 --> 00:35:47.090
in love with Elizabeth, And maybe there was a chance
623
00:35:47.130 --> 00:35:49.710
that Elizabeth and him could have been together, but they
624
00:35:49.750 --> 00:35:52.750
decided against it. But then the movie doesn't really do
625
00:35:52.829 --> 00:35:54.869
anything with that. And maybe it's just part of the
626
00:35:54.909 --> 00:35:55.650
original story.
627
00:35:56.269 --> 00:35:57.130
I'm so glad you've come.
628
00:35:57.230 --> 00:35:59.309
Oh, you've heard from Henry?
629
00:35:59.429 --> 00:35:59.710
Yes.
630
00:36:00.090 --> 00:36:01.340
The first word in four months.
631
00:36:02.010 --> 00:36:05.840
It just came. Victor, you must help me.
632
00:36:05.840 --> 00:36:06.780
Of course I'll help you.
633
00:36:09.059 --> 00:36:09.679
I'm afraid.
634
00:36:10.920 --> 00:36:12.719
I've read this over and over again, but they're just
635
00:36:12.780 --> 00:36:14.739
words that I can't understand.
636
00:36:16.340 --> 00:36:16.679
Listen.
637
00:36:17.800 --> 00:36:19.920
You must have faith in me, Elizabeth. Wait.
638
00:36:20.800 --> 00:36:24.440
My work must come first, even before you. At night
639
00:36:24.500 --> 00:36:26.159
the winds howl in the mountains.
640
00:36:26.719 --> 00:36:30.409
There is no one here. Prying eyes can't peer into
641
00:36:30.449 --> 00:36:31.030
my secret.
642
00:36:32.150 --> 00:36:32.809
What can he mean?
643
00:36:32.829 --> 00:36:34.449
What does he say then?
644
00:36:37.269 --> 00:36:39.849
I am living in an abandoned old watchtower close to
645
00:36:39.869 --> 00:36:40.949
the town of Goldstadt.
646
00:36:41.719 --> 00:36:44.599
Only my assistant is here to help me with my experiments.
647
00:36:45.670 --> 00:36:46.809
Oh, his experiments.
648
00:36:47.550 --> 00:36:50.329
Yes, that's what frightens me. The very day we announced
649
00:36:50.369 --> 00:36:53.710
our engagement, he told me of his experiments. He said
650
00:36:53.730 --> 00:36:55.760
he was on the verge of a discovery so terrific
651
00:36:55.780 --> 00:36:57.059
that he doubted his own sanity.
652
00:36:57.079 --> 00:36:59.900
There was a strange look in his eyes.
653
00:37:00.699 --> 00:37:01.460
Some mystery.
654
00:37:02.179 --> 00:37:05.920
His words carried me right away. Of course, I've never
655
00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:08.199
doubted him, but still I worry I can't help it.
656
00:37:09.750 --> 00:37:12.929
Now this letter. This uncertainty can't go on.
657
00:37:12.989 --> 00:37:13.650
I must know.
658
00:37:14.329 --> 00:37:14.630
Victor.
659
00:37:15.579 --> 00:37:16.219
Have you seen him?
660
00:37:16.760 --> 00:37:20.400
Yes. About three weeks ago, I met him walking alone
661
00:37:20.440 --> 00:37:22.659
in the woods. He spoke to me of his work, too.
662
00:37:23.260 --> 00:37:25.079
I asked him if I might visit his laboratory.
663
00:37:25.880 --> 00:37:27.619
He just glared at me and said he'd let no
664
00:37:27.699 --> 00:37:28.219
one go there.
665
00:37:29.019 --> 00:37:31.619
His manner was very strange. Oh, what can we do?
666
00:37:31.639 --> 00:37:34.119
Oprah should be ill.
667
00:37:34.300 --> 00:37:34.860
Don't worry.
668
00:37:35.579 --> 00:37:38.519
I'll go to Dr. Vartman, Henry's old professor in medical school.
669
00:37:39.219 --> 00:37:40.780
Perhaps he can tell me more about all this.
670
00:37:41.860 --> 00:37:42.739
Victor, your idea.
671
00:37:43.960 --> 00:37:45.400
You know I'd go to the ends of the earth
672
00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:45.719
for you.
673
00:37:46.440 --> 00:37:49.179
I shouldn't like that. I'm far too fond of you.
674
00:37:49.880 --> 00:37:50.500
I wish you were.
675
00:37:50.530 --> 00:37:54.010
Victor.
676
00:37:55.110 --> 00:37:55.510
I'm sorry.
677
00:37:56.369 --> 00:37:58.789
What the fuck are you doing here with your friend's
678
00:37:58.869 --> 00:38:03.230
fucking fiancé, right, Victor? Okay, oh, I'm so worried about him.
679
00:38:03.289 --> 00:38:05.849
Can you please help me out? Oh, you know I'd
680
00:38:05.869 --> 00:38:08.590
go to the end of Earth for you, my dear. Oh,
681
00:38:08.590 --> 00:38:12.739
I wish you shouldn't. I'm very fond of you. Oh,
682
00:38:13.119 --> 00:38:19.219
but I wish you were. Awkward fucking silence after that. Oh,
683
00:38:19.300 --> 00:38:19.840
my God.
684
00:38:19.909 --> 00:38:20.210
It's... So.
685
00:38:21.570 --> 00:38:24.650
She gets a letter from her fiancé, from Henry, right?
686
00:38:24.690 --> 00:38:28.340
From Frankenstein. And that is telling her that, hey, you
687
00:38:28.380 --> 00:38:30.820
know what? I'll be back soon. Don't worry, babe. I
688
00:38:30.860 --> 00:38:33.579
got experiments that I gotta do, but I'm out here
689
00:38:33.619 --> 00:38:36.559
in the middle of fucking nowhere. It's okay. There isn't
690
00:38:36.619 --> 00:38:39.880
another woman. Cough, cough, wink, wink. You just can't come
691
00:38:39.980 --> 00:38:44.090
out here, alright? Because if you come out here, then... Um,
692
00:38:44.429 --> 00:38:48.610
you know, you're going to interrupt my, uh, experiments that
693
00:38:48.690 --> 00:38:57.320
I've got going on, uh, on the puppetry of the, um, uh, penis. No, no, no, no, no, not, not, not, not,
694
00:38:57.420 --> 00:39:00.000
not wiener. No, not penis. No, we're not doing puppetry
695
00:39:00.019 --> 00:39:03.059
of the penis over here. We're doing, uh, um, uh,
696
00:39:03.179 --> 00:39:08.409
I'm learning how to create. flowers and make them bloom
697
00:39:08.659 --> 00:39:15.289
like a young woman after she gets married and you plow. Oh, wait, wait, wait. No,
698
00:39:15.329 --> 00:39:18.849
that that is going to lead her on to maybe
699
00:39:18.909 --> 00:39:21.869
maybe I should just tell her that I'm fucking somebody else.
700
00:39:22.230 --> 00:39:24.630
So that way she'll just leave me alone. I mean,
701
00:39:25.170 --> 00:39:28.789
how do you explain in a non-sexual manner that you
702
00:39:28.849 --> 00:39:32.199
are trying to bring something that was once dead back
703
00:39:32.280 --> 00:39:37.619
to life? It just can't be done. There's just no way.
704
00:39:39.110 --> 00:39:43.130
All right. Okay, can you restart the telegram? We were
705
00:39:43.170 --> 00:39:45.230
doing a telegram, sir? I thought you were writing a
706
00:39:45.269 --> 00:39:47.269
letter that we're going to send off. Oh, yeah, you're right.
707
00:39:47.710 --> 00:39:49.909
I should just write these down. Fritz, can you show
708
00:39:49.929 --> 00:39:53.840
me what you've written down? Uh, I don't know how
709
00:39:53.880 --> 00:39:57.920
to write, sir. You never taught me how to write.
710
00:39:58.440 --> 00:39:58.599
What?
711
00:39:59.699 --> 00:40:02.800
God damn it, Fritz. What are you good for? Flipping buttons.
712
00:40:03.239 --> 00:40:09.179
Digging up graves. Getting Abby normal brains. Oh, that's right.
713
00:40:09.599 --> 00:40:12.630
You are really good at that stuff, Fritz. I owe
714
00:40:12.690 --> 00:40:18.699
you a cookie. Oh, a cookie master. Oh, can I
715
00:40:18.760 --> 00:40:22.719
be the Cookie Monster after this is done, sir? You
716
00:40:22.760 --> 00:40:27.460
can be whatever you want, Fritz. Whatever you want. Now,
717
00:40:28.400 --> 00:40:34.420
learn how to fucking write. Yes, sir. I'll learn right away, sir.
718
00:40:36.570 --> 00:40:38.949
I don't know how, but I'll do it for you
719
00:40:39.360 --> 00:40:43.269
so I can be the Cookie Monster. C is for cookie.
720
00:40:43.769 --> 00:40:44.809
That's good enough for me.
721
00:40:45.730 --> 00:40:45.969
Anyway.
722
00:40:46.710 --> 00:40:50.989
Uh, God damn it. So she's worried about her fiance.
723
00:40:51.170 --> 00:40:53.789
She's worried about him and Victor is going to help
724
00:40:53.849 --> 00:40:55.469
her out. That's basically what we're getting out of the
725
00:40:55.489 --> 00:40:57.690
whole thing. And she's going to speak to Dr. Waldman
726
00:40:58.110 --> 00:41:02.130
or Waldman because he managed to find a random fucking
727
00:41:02.170 --> 00:41:05.670
windmill that was very close to the university by, because
728
00:41:05.710 --> 00:41:08.880
that's where he was fucking studying under Dr. Waldman. That
729
00:41:08.909 --> 00:41:11.420
was there. So Victor decides he's going to go and
730
00:41:11.500 --> 00:41:14.420
talk to the good doctor, but Elizabeth decides that, Hey,
731
00:41:14.460 --> 00:41:16.880
you know what? I want to learn more. And so
732
00:41:17.099 --> 00:41:19.099
I'm going to go along with you. So then they
733
00:41:19.139 --> 00:41:22.639
go off and they begin to have their conversation with Dr.
734
00:41:22.659 --> 00:41:26.239
Valdman and trying to go out there and talk to Victor.
735
00:41:26.699 --> 00:41:29.960
Valdman at first, he kind of is wary about doing
736
00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:33.460
it because he doesn't really, you know, think that Frankenstein
737
00:41:33.480 --> 00:41:34.980
would be too cool to him going out there, but
738
00:41:35.300 --> 00:41:37.059
they try to convince him to do so.
739
00:41:37.079 --> 00:41:41.199
Frankenstein is the most brilliant young man, yet so erratic.
740
00:41:42.050 --> 00:41:42.659
He troubles me.
741
00:41:44.110 --> 00:41:45.190
I'm worried about Henry.
742
00:41:45.949 --> 00:41:47.210
Why has he left the university?
743
00:41:47.929 --> 00:41:50.929
He was doing so well, and he seemed so happy
744
00:41:50.969 --> 00:41:51.550
with his work.
745
00:41:52.849 --> 00:41:54.610
Well, you know, his research is in the field of
746
00:41:54.650 --> 00:41:58.190
chemical galvanism and electrobiology. We're far in advance of our
747
00:41:58.250 --> 00:42:01.909
theories here at the university. In fact, they had reached
748
00:42:01.949 --> 00:42:08.320
a most advanced stage. They were becoming dangerous. Herr Frankenstein
749
00:42:08.380 --> 00:42:11.139
is greatly changed. You mean changed as a result of
750
00:42:11.179 --> 00:42:11.539
his work?
751
00:42:12.320 --> 00:42:13.360
Yes, his work.
752
00:42:14.289 --> 00:42:18.489
His insane ambition to create life. How?
753
00:42:19.510 --> 00:42:19.829
How?
754
00:42:22.309 --> 00:42:25.780
Please tell us everything, whatever it is. The bodies we
755
00:42:25.880 --> 00:42:28.739
use in our dissecting room for lecture purposes... were not
756
00:42:28.800 --> 00:42:32.300
perfect enough for his experiments, he said. He wished us
757
00:42:32.340 --> 00:42:35.079
to supply him with other bodies... and we were not
758
00:42:35.099 --> 00:42:37.889
to be too particular as to where and how we
759
00:42:37.929 --> 00:42:41.949
got them. I told him that his demands were unreasonable...
760
00:42:42.230 --> 00:42:44.489
And so he left the university to work on Hampel.
761
00:42:45.730 --> 00:42:49.329
He found what he needed elsewhere. Oh, the bodies of animals. Well,
762
00:42:49.789 --> 00:42:51.610
what are the lives of a few rabbits and dogs?
763
00:42:52.289 --> 00:42:56.889
You do not quite get what I mean. Herr Frankenstein
764
00:42:57.010 --> 00:42:58.679
was interested only in human life.
765
00:42:59.780 --> 00:43:04.559
First to destroy it, then recreate it. There you have
766
00:43:04.619 --> 00:43:06.239
his mad dream.
767
00:43:10.039 --> 00:43:10.800
Can we go to Limb?
768
00:43:11.739 --> 00:43:12.780
You will not be very welcome.
769
00:43:13.070 --> 00:43:15.469
Oh, what does that matter? I must see him.
770
00:43:16.550 --> 00:43:16.829
Dr.
771
00:43:16.849 --> 00:43:20.909
Veldman, you have influence with Henry. Won't you come with us?
772
00:43:21.829 --> 00:43:24.269
I am sorry, but Herr Frankenstein is no longer my pupil.
773
00:43:25.989 --> 00:43:29.389
But he respects you. Won't you help us.
774
00:43:29.329 --> 00:43:29.969
To take him away?
775
00:43:30.650 --> 00:43:33.969
Very well, Fraulein. I have warned you. But if you
776
00:43:34.010 --> 00:43:35.480
wish it, I will go.
777
00:43:36.480 --> 00:43:40.300
Okay, what does get me bothered here about this situation
778
00:43:40.340 --> 00:43:42.239
that they've got going on as they're talking to Dr.
779
00:43:42.260 --> 00:43:44.800
Valdman over here, which I'm just going to call Valdman
780
00:43:44.860 --> 00:43:48.960
from now on, is that they're like, they just told
781
00:43:49.039 --> 00:43:54.969
each other that Frankenstein told them about his experiments and
782
00:43:55.010 --> 00:43:57.230
what he was doing. And then when they talked to
783
00:43:57.269 --> 00:44:01.570
Valdman over here, they're like, what? He's trying to bring
784
00:44:01.650 --> 00:44:04.769
dead flesh back to life and he wants bodies? I
785
00:44:04.829 --> 00:44:09.130
didn't know that. Motherfucker told you what his experiments are
786
00:44:09.150 --> 00:44:11.670
going to be. They told you what his ambitions were
787
00:44:11.710 --> 00:44:13.849
going to be. In fact, Victor, you saw him just
788
00:44:13.889 --> 00:44:16.170
three fucking weeks ago when he explained to you what
789
00:44:16.210 --> 00:44:18.570
he was doing. And he's like, can't come up there
790
00:44:18.610 --> 00:44:20.969
because I'm trying to bring fucking life back from death.
791
00:44:21.429 --> 00:44:25.469
And you're like, what? He just wants rabbits and dogs?
792
00:44:26.809 --> 00:44:29.159
What is a life of a rabbit and a dog
793
00:44:29.199 --> 00:44:33.460
to science? Fuck you, Victor. That's what it is. It's
794
00:44:33.679 --> 00:44:36.860
fuck you, Victor. In some cases, the life of a
795
00:44:36.880 --> 00:44:38.980
dog or a rabbit is way better than the life
796
00:44:39.019 --> 00:44:43.639
of a fucking human. But still, in most cases, I've
797
00:44:43.659 --> 00:44:46.360
had a choice between a family member and my dog.
798
00:44:47.119 --> 00:44:50.050
Which family member are we talking about? Is it the
799
00:44:50.110 --> 00:44:53.730
one that everybody hates, nobody really talks to? Or is
800
00:44:53.769 --> 00:44:57.349
it the one that everybody loves that's not me? Because
801
00:44:57.510 --> 00:44:59.750
maybe I'm the latter one and nobody would save me?
802
00:45:00.309 --> 00:45:02.480
Maybe that's what I'm trying to get at? I'm just
803
00:45:02.559 --> 00:45:04.440
a scared little boy. I don't want people to pick
804
00:45:04.480 --> 00:45:06.760
their dog over me. Especially my dog, because I know
805
00:45:06.800 --> 00:45:09.260
everybody would pick my dog over me. They would just
806
00:45:09.300 --> 00:45:12.119
save that fucking huge moose over there. What am I kidding?
807
00:45:12.179 --> 00:45:15.320
I'd save that huge moose over me too. But, oh wait,
808
00:45:15.469 --> 00:45:21.610
nothing left. But it's still ridiculous. Like, that's the only
809
00:45:21.670 --> 00:45:25.010
thing that gets me about the little scene. But just
810
00:45:25.050 --> 00:45:27.719
in general, I mean... We know that he's doing more.
811
00:45:27.760 --> 00:45:31.219
He left the university because his experiments were going to
812
00:45:31.260 --> 00:45:35.940
be above and beyond what the school was willing to
813
00:45:35.980 --> 00:45:38.760
provide for him. While they got cadavers to what he
814
00:45:38.800 --> 00:45:41.860
wanted to do, he wanted to get more cadavers and
815
00:45:42.000 --> 00:45:45.449
different types of cadavers because he's creating his own goddamn
816
00:45:45.510 --> 00:45:47.780
body that's going to be there, his monster that he's
817
00:45:47.800 --> 00:45:49.929
going to try to bring to fucking life. And the
818
00:45:49.969 --> 00:45:52.829
university was like, nope, we don't want anything to do
819
00:45:52.869 --> 00:45:55.550
with that shit. Get your ass fucking out of here.
820
00:45:56.030 --> 00:45:59.130
you're expelled or he just left the university even though
821
00:45:59.150 --> 00:46:00.869
they wanted to like give him a degree or some
822
00:46:00.909 --> 00:46:03.670
shit i i really don't know on that part and
823
00:46:03.710 --> 00:46:07.909
so we then change scenes over to frankenstein's big old
824
00:46:07.969 --> 00:46:10.190
fucking windmill that he's got in the middle of fucking
825
00:46:10.289 --> 00:46:13.909
nowhere that he's doing his experiments with where he's talking
826
00:46:13.929 --> 00:46:17.949
to fritz and we have fritz him and the monster that's.
827
00:46:17.820 --> 00:46:22.500
There If this storm develops as I hope, you'll have
828
00:46:22.599 --> 00:46:24.780
plenty to be afraid of before the night's over.
829
00:46:25.639 --> 00:46:26.139
Go on.
830
00:46:26.360 --> 00:46:42.670
Fix the electrodes. This storm will be magnificent. All the
831
00:46:42.710 --> 00:46:47.139
electrical secrets of heaven. And this time we're ready.
832
00:46:47.739 --> 00:46:48.179
Eh, Fritz?
833
00:46:49.099 --> 00:46:49.340
Ready.
834
00:46:52.090 --> 00:46:59.659
Why, what's the matter? Look. There's nothing to fear.
835
00:47:00.480 --> 00:47:00.699
Look.
836
00:47:02.360 --> 00:47:06.519
No blood. No decay. Just a few stitches.
837
00:47:09.119 --> 00:47:09.500
And look.
838
00:47:10.659 --> 00:47:18.269
Here's the final touch. The brain you stole, Fritz.
839
00:47:18.289 --> 00:47:19.090
Yes.
840
00:47:19.150 --> 00:47:22.690
Think of it. The brain of a dead man. Waiting
841
00:47:22.730 --> 00:47:25.170
to live again in a body I made with my
842
00:47:25.250 --> 00:47:33.400
own hands. With my own hands. Let's have one final test.
843
00:47:33.920 --> 00:47:34.519
Throw the switches.
844
00:47:36.969 --> 00:47:40.789
This set is fucking cool. Like, just the way that
845
00:47:40.849 --> 00:47:44.190
it looks, it is awesome. And one of the things
846
00:47:44.250 --> 00:47:46.670
that I will say with this as well as compared
847
00:47:46.710 --> 00:47:49.070
to Dracula, even though, you know, a lot of it
848
00:47:49.309 --> 00:47:51.860
happens at night with Dracula because that's the only way
849
00:47:51.880 --> 00:47:54.619
that he can come out. Dracula can't be around during
850
00:47:54.659 --> 00:47:56.820
the day. He only hangs out at night at places
851
00:47:56.900 --> 00:47:59.539
because he's a night owl, right? He likes to party.
852
00:48:00.039 --> 00:48:02.440
That's really what it is. He can't party during the day.
853
00:48:02.460 --> 00:48:05.809
He can only party at night. But here... Or with
854
00:48:05.889 --> 00:48:08.699
that film, I should say, it was still relatively light.
855
00:48:09.239 --> 00:48:13.780
Everything was indoors, everything was visible, everything was nice and clear.
856
00:48:13.800 --> 00:48:19.639
This movie is much darker in tone and darker in visuals.
857
00:48:20.090 --> 00:48:24.010
And you really have this deep, dark, dank fucking dungeon-like
858
00:48:24.090 --> 00:48:27.590
place that we've got that Frankenstein hangs out in and
859
00:48:27.630 --> 00:48:31.369
does all the experiments inside of his little laboratory that
860
00:48:31.389 --> 00:48:35.050
he set up inside of this windmill. And it's really
861
00:48:35.110 --> 00:48:37.889
cool looking with the real Tesla coil that he's got
862
00:48:37.949 --> 00:48:41.469
there in the background. As well as all the chains
863
00:48:41.530 --> 00:48:43.789
for the table that are going to be holding everything up.
864
00:48:44.190 --> 00:48:46.639
To the weird machines that are all over the place.
865
00:48:46.980 --> 00:48:49.940
The set just looks really good. And it really fits
866
00:48:50.139 --> 00:48:53.840
for the time. Does it feel old? Yes, it does
867
00:48:53.880 --> 00:48:57.619
feel old. It feels old mad scientist old. But at
868
00:48:57.679 --> 00:49:00.829
the same time, it still feels right. It still feels
869
00:49:00.909 --> 00:49:04.670
lived in. It doesn't look like a set. You can
870
00:49:04.750 --> 00:49:07.840
kind of understand when you see places... Where they look
871
00:49:07.880 --> 00:49:11.340
like sets. Like parts of Dracula look like a set.
872
00:49:11.559 --> 00:49:14.030
I know this is a set, right? Of course it's
873
00:49:14.050 --> 00:49:15.989
going to be a set. But what I mean when
874
00:49:16.030 --> 00:49:18.250
I say it doesn't look like a set, it actually
875
00:49:18.409 --> 00:49:21.000
looks like it all belongs. It's not just a bunch
876
00:49:21.019 --> 00:49:23.409
of random things that are kind of placed together. It
877
00:49:23.530 --> 00:49:26.820
really has life to it on its own. And with
878
00:49:27.050 --> 00:49:31.110
the darker tone of the room and the darker visual
879
00:49:31.150 --> 00:49:34.250
that you have, even when we're talking to Valdman over there,
880
00:49:34.409 --> 00:49:37.710
it feels darker in that room than it does in
881
00:49:38.010 --> 00:49:40.769
any room in Dracula. Not to say there aren't light
882
00:49:40.849 --> 00:49:45.090
parts to this movie, But most of this movie feels darker,
883
00:49:45.369 --> 00:49:49.070
and that's where I feel more of the gothic aesthetic
884
00:49:49.289 --> 00:49:51.909
vibe that I get from this movie than I got
885
00:49:51.989 --> 00:49:56.260
from Dracula itself. Where Dracula, I kind of got more, well,
886
00:49:56.579 --> 00:50:00.019
it's still gothic, but more gothic romance. And again, that
887
00:50:00.079 --> 00:50:03.239
comes from the characters, not necessarily the set. Where here,
888
00:50:03.519 --> 00:50:07.400
I get that from the set and the visuals versus
889
00:50:07.460 --> 00:50:11.320
the characters themselves. So everything is up and running and
890
00:50:11.369 --> 00:50:15.230
it seems like things are going Frankenstein's way and he's
891
00:50:15.329 --> 00:50:19.090
ready to start. Thunder is going, lightning has just started
892
00:50:19.110 --> 00:50:23.170
touching down and it's time to actually get his boy
893
00:50:23.329 --> 00:50:26.679
up and running and ready to come to life. And
894
00:50:26.719 --> 00:50:30.380
then all of a sudden there are some unexpected guests
895
00:50:30.440 --> 00:50:30.960
at the door.
896
00:50:30.980 --> 00:50:32.400
Good.
897
00:50:33.780 --> 00:50:37.360
Fifteen minutes the storm should be at its height. Then
898
00:50:37.380 --> 00:50:37.920
we'll be ready.
899
00:50:45.530 --> 00:50:47.570
There's someone there. Quiet.
900
00:50:47.590 --> 00:50:53.679
Send them away. Nobody must come here.
901
00:50:53.820 --> 00:51:09.579
Here, cover this.
902
00:51:10.719 --> 00:51:13.530
Whoever it is, don't let them in. Leave them to me.
903
00:51:16.960 --> 00:51:22.760
Old times, anybody to come.
904
00:51:23.380 --> 00:51:24.039
Now.
905
00:51:24.079 --> 00:51:24.559
Not much.
906
00:51:25.059 --> 00:51:27.599
Also messing about at this time of night. Got too
907
00:51:27.639 --> 00:51:30.800
much to do. Wait a minute.
908
00:51:31.000 --> 00:51:32.519
All right, all right.
909
00:51:32.579 --> 00:51:33.840
Wait a minute.
910
00:51:36.239 --> 00:51:36.579
It's Dr.
911
00:51:36.699 --> 00:51:37.320
Waldman, Fitz.
912
00:51:37.539 --> 00:51:38.460
You can't see him.
913
00:51:38.719 --> 00:51:39.059
Go away.
914
00:51:56.510 --> 00:51:57.469
Frankenstein!
915
00:51:57.530 --> 00:51:57.750
Henry!
916
00:51:57.789 --> 00:51:58.769
Frankenstein! Henry!
917
00:51:58.789 --> 00:51:59.590
Open the door!
918
00:51:59.610 --> 00:52:00.210
There is Ian!
919
00:52:00.250 --> 00:52:00.869
Who is it?
920
00:52:00.929 --> 00:52:03.969
Who is it? What do you want? You will leave
921
00:52:04.030 --> 00:52:05.239
me alone now.
922
00:52:05.340 --> 00:52:06.000
It's Elizabeth.
923
00:52:06.139 --> 00:52:08.119
Open the door!
924
00:52:11.860 --> 00:52:15.650
Damn, man, can't somebody do some science over here with
925
00:52:15.670 --> 00:52:18.829
their old ball and chain? Well, soon to be ball
926
00:52:18.869 --> 00:52:22.769
and chain, not coming to find out what exactly he's doing.
927
00:52:23.130 --> 00:52:27.690
I mean, come on. I'm just sitting here getting all
928
00:52:27.730 --> 00:52:32.800
my electrical shit together, working on... sewing this body together,
929
00:52:32.889 --> 00:52:35.960
getting a brain inside of it, getting my hopes and
930
00:52:36.079 --> 00:52:39.579
dreams together. I told your ass to stay at home,
931
00:52:39.920 --> 00:52:42.380
and yet you gotta come out here. Not only are
932
00:52:42.579 --> 00:52:45.239
you coming out here, you're bringing one of my really
933
00:52:45.280 --> 00:52:48.550
good friends with you, you're bringing the professor I used
934
00:52:48.590 --> 00:52:52.550
to study under. What the fuck is your big fucking deal, man?
935
00:52:52.909 --> 00:52:55.369
I just wanted to be out there and, you know,
936
00:52:55.789 --> 00:53:00.349
smoke some fucking dope. drink some wine, put a dead
937
00:53:00.409 --> 00:53:03.960
guy on the table, dig up a couple of corpses
938
00:53:04.139 --> 00:53:08.880
out here, and then use my giant electrical what's-a-mabobits that
939
00:53:08.920 --> 00:53:12.119
I've got over here and bring somebody to life. And
940
00:53:12.139 --> 00:53:16.849
you gotta come up here in my private space and
941
00:53:17.090 --> 00:53:21.769
interrupt the science that's going on. We gotta really rethink
942
00:53:21.789 --> 00:53:25.309
this marriage thing. I mean, if you can't let a man...
943
00:53:25.719 --> 00:53:29.420
follow his dreams of going out there and resurrecting the
944
00:53:29.480 --> 00:53:34.170
dead and becoming like a god then this marriage ain't
945
00:53:34.190 --> 00:53:36.389
gonna work i just i just don't know what to
946
00:53:36.449 --> 00:53:40.590
do i mean i'm a scientist you're a a woman
947
00:53:40.619 --> 00:53:43.059
i don't know what you do in this time and
948
00:53:43.119 --> 00:53:45.219
day and age and everything like that you just kind
949
00:53:45.239 --> 00:53:48.650
of look over there maybe look pretty I guess maybe
950
00:53:48.690 --> 00:53:51.329
that's what you do. Maybe that's what I'm expecting you
951
00:53:51.349 --> 00:53:53.780
to do. You soon you're going to be home barefoot
952
00:53:53.840 --> 00:53:56.239
with the kids and I'm still going to be doing
953
00:53:56.280 --> 00:53:58.780
my science and I'm going to leave you all the
954
00:53:58.820 --> 00:54:02.340
time and not really care about what's going on. But hey,
955
00:54:02.820 --> 00:54:05.829
it's going to work. That's going to be our relationship.
956
00:54:06.289 --> 00:54:09.070
And so, yeah, he gets interrupted with whatever he's doing
957
00:54:09.110 --> 00:54:12.690
and he goes downstairs and and Henry sees that, you know,
958
00:54:12.750 --> 00:54:18.079
his fiancée, his wife-to-be, along with his best friend and Dr. Veldman,
959
00:54:18.659 --> 00:54:21.420
are there wanting to come inside, the weather is getting
960
00:54:21.460 --> 00:54:23.679
really bad, and he's telling them just to get the
961
00:54:23.739 --> 00:54:26.219
fuck out of there, and then Elizabeth is like, well,
962
00:54:26.239 --> 00:54:28.840
at least let us get inside from the goddamn weather
963
00:54:28.880 --> 00:54:32.940
that's going outside, and reluctantly, he does let them inside,
964
00:54:33.300 --> 00:54:36.829
but they do wonder about him in, like, What's going on?
965
00:54:36.949 --> 00:54:39.889
Is everything okay? We heard what you're trying to do,
966
00:54:39.989 --> 00:54:43.920
and it's just kind of crazy. So he decides that, hey,
967
00:54:43.960 --> 00:54:46.199
you know what? Why don't you guys, I'm going to
968
00:54:46.280 --> 00:54:49.679
prove to you how not crazy I am. You need
969
00:54:49.719 --> 00:54:52.719
to come upstairs and you need to see my corpse
970
00:54:52.760 --> 00:54:56.519
that's lying on a table over here that I've stitched together.
971
00:54:57.000 --> 00:55:00.260
And he makes them all sit down and then basically
972
00:55:00.730 --> 00:55:04.449
goes through and tells them why he's not crazy. And then,
973
00:55:04.670 --> 00:55:06.989
you know what? We're going to see who's fucking crazy.
974
00:55:08.289 --> 00:55:08.730
Henry!
975
00:55:09.510 --> 00:55:11.030
What do you want?
976
00:55:11.110 --> 00:55:12.969
Open the door. Let us in.
977
00:55:13.010 --> 00:55:14.440
You must leave me alone.
978
00:55:14.480 --> 00:55:15.920
Henry, at least give us shelter.
979
00:55:25.340 --> 00:55:26.460
I'm quite all right.
980
00:55:26.500 --> 00:55:27.199
Truly, I am.
981
00:55:27.260 --> 00:55:30.539
Oh, can't you see I mustn't be disturbed? You'll ruin everything.
982
00:55:30.559 --> 00:55:31.719
My experiment is almost completed.
983
00:55:31.739 --> 00:55:32.280
Wait a moment.
984
00:55:32.380 --> 00:55:32.780
I understand.
985
00:55:46.449 --> 00:55:49.679
I believe in you, but I cannot leave you tonight.
986
00:55:49.940 --> 00:55:53.000
You're inhuman.
987
00:55:53.019 --> 00:55:59.559
You're crazy. Crazy am I. We'll see whether I'm crazy
988
00:55:59.800 --> 00:55:59.989
or not.
989
00:56:04.650 --> 00:56:05.190
Come on up.
990
00:56:05.949 --> 00:56:10.250
Would a crazy man have this type of face on him? Like, again,
991
00:56:10.269 --> 00:56:16.059
I really, really, really do think really, really, really like
992
00:56:16.139 --> 00:56:20.480
Colin Clive. I think that while again, the, the way
993
00:56:20.500 --> 00:56:23.840
he says words are not necessarily the best. And then
994
00:56:23.860 --> 00:56:26.000
I think this is just a time period type of
995
00:56:26.059 --> 00:56:29.639
thing that's going on here, but his facial expressions are
996
00:56:29.739 --> 00:56:33.800
just fucking money. Feek man. They, they are just the
997
00:56:33.969 --> 00:56:36.650
cream of the fucking crop in the way that he
998
00:56:36.670 --> 00:56:39.389
like looks at her. And he's just like, It really
999
00:56:39.469 --> 00:56:42.710
looks like in his face he is more worried about
1000
00:56:42.750 --> 00:56:46.469
the experiment going wrong than, you know, what it is
1001
00:56:46.789 --> 00:56:50.280
and having his wife, or soon-to-be wife, actually see what
1002
00:56:50.320 --> 00:56:54.440
it is, right? That he's just like, oh, no, no, no, man.
1003
00:56:54.500 --> 00:56:57.300
You're going to ruin the whole thing, man. I've worked
1004
00:56:57.340 --> 00:57:00.380
so hard on this, man. You just can't do this.
1005
00:57:00.420 --> 00:57:03.519
You can't be here right now. And then when Victor
1006
00:57:03.559 --> 00:57:06.840
steps up, you know, you're going crazy. It's just that
1007
00:57:06.880 --> 00:57:10.440
immediate fucking... switch over and where I can't really fucking
1008
00:57:10.780 --> 00:57:15.199
snap right for some fucking reason but it's just like
1009
00:57:15.320 --> 00:57:17.820
that face switch that he has that he goes crazy
1010
00:57:17.940 --> 00:57:22.400
am I he just looks with determination well come on
1011
00:57:22.500 --> 00:57:27.570
up then like it it's crazy good and it's so
1012
00:57:27.829 --> 00:57:32.010
entertaining in what it is and it's just again you
1013
00:57:32.050 --> 00:57:34.789
don't have these great I mean you have really great
1014
00:57:34.869 --> 00:57:38.559
special effects for this time and age And it still
1015
00:57:38.619 --> 00:57:42.039
holds up. It's practical, practical. Always hold up over anything
1016
00:57:42.099 --> 00:57:44.849
CGI for the most part. There are some things that
1017
00:57:45.050 --> 00:57:47.210
still hold up when you put a lot of fucking
1018
00:57:47.250 --> 00:57:51.309
money into your CGI. But in general, when you see this,
1019
00:57:51.409 --> 00:57:54.480
like this movie, like the sets still really look good.
1020
00:57:54.860 --> 00:57:58.139
And it's still convincing. Maybe the makeup isn't the best,
1021
00:57:58.559 --> 00:58:02.130
but it still works. And honestly, the makeup of Frankenstein,
1022
00:58:02.429 --> 00:58:06.510
his monster, is pretty damn good for the time period
1023
00:58:06.550 --> 00:58:08.579
and even for today. I mean, when you see him
1024
00:58:08.619 --> 00:58:10.760
first on the table and they unroll and they show
1025
00:58:10.780 --> 00:58:13.659
the bottom or the top of the face... Well, not
1026
00:58:13.699 --> 00:58:16.239
really the face, the head more or less. Like it
1027
00:58:16.300 --> 00:58:18.760
does look a little bit funky with him all wrapped
1028
00:58:18.820 --> 00:58:20.860
up and everything like that. But then when you see
1029
00:58:20.920 --> 00:58:24.610
Boris Karloff in motion, it looks really good and it
1030
00:58:24.670 --> 00:58:27.789
looks very believable. And I know that you could go
1031
00:58:27.829 --> 00:58:30.190
back to be like, oh, like there's a difference between
1032
00:58:30.250 --> 00:58:34.369
Dracula and Frankenstein, right? There's a huge and Frankenstein's monster.
1033
00:58:34.869 --> 00:58:37.659
There's a huge difference between the two types of characters
1034
00:58:37.699 --> 00:58:40.300
that you got going on there. It's very easy to
1035
00:58:40.360 --> 00:58:44.809
make a very, like, romanticized version of a vampire with
1036
00:58:44.849 --> 00:58:47.309
the long cape and, you know, the hair and the
1037
00:58:47.550 --> 00:58:49.909
eyes and all that type of stuff. But to create
1038
00:58:50.130 --> 00:58:55.650
this monster? It's even harder in this day and time
1039
00:58:55.809 --> 00:58:58.769
to make it look the way that it does. Is
1040
00:58:58.849 --> 00:59:01.519
it a little funky? It's a little bit funky. Like,
1041
00:59:01.539 --> 00:59:04.840
you know, the way the outfit looks and the shoes
1042
00:59:04.880 --> 00:59:09.079
and everything like that. But overall, it's still really impressive
1043
00:59:09.480 --> 00:59:14.099
and it looks fantastic. It is just like the epitome
1044
00:59:14.380 --> 00:59:18.400
of what a monster is, at least for the time frame.
1045
00:59:18.460 --> 00:59:22.889
Like new versions of the Frankenstein monster definitely look a
1046
00:59:23.030 --> 00:59:25.989
little bit better and they're trying to modernize the way
1047
00:59:26.050 --> 00:59:29.539
the look is. But there's something just special about the
1048
00:59:29.590 --> 00:59:32.750
way the classic monster looks. So he has them go upstairs.
1049
00:59:33.050 --> 00:59:36.670
He has them all sit down. And he basically, once again,
1050
00:59:36.989 --> 00:59:40.369
talks to them and explains kind of what he's doing
1051
00:59:40.769 --> 00:59:43.369
and the fact that, yeah, you know, I'm not really
1052
00:59:43.409 --> 00:59:45.340
the crazy one. You guys are.
1053
00:59:45.360 --> 00:59:50.420
A moment ago, you said I was crazy. Tomorrow we'll
1054
00:59:50.460 --> 00:59:51.179
see about that.
1055
00:59:51.340 --> 00:59:52.780
Don't touch that!
1056
00:59:58.210 --> 01:00:02.679
I'm sorry, Doctor, but I insist. Please.
1057
01:00:21.059 --> 01:00:21.360
Dr.
1058
01:00:21.380 --> 01:00:24.219
Bauman, I learned a great deal from you at the
1059
01:00:24.239 --> 01:00:29.280
university about the violet ray, the ultraviolet ray, which you
1060
01:00:29.380 --> 01:00:31.460
said was the highest color in the spectrum.
1061
01:00:33.070 --> 01:00:33.699
You were wrong.
1062
01:00:35.670 --> 01:00:38.849
Here in this machinery, I have gone beyond that.
1063
01:00:41.929 --> 01:00:45.309
I have discovered the great ray that first brought life
1064
01:00:45.369 --> 01:00:46.050
into the world.
1065
01:00:46.570 --> 01:00:48.090
Oh, and your proof?
1066
01:00:49.360 --> 01:00:55.000
Tonight you shall have your proof. At first I experimented
1067
01:00:55.079 --> 01:00:58.619
only with dead animals... and then a human heart which
1068
01:00:58.679 --> 01:01:00.659
I kept beating for three weeks.
1069
01:01:02.400 --> 01:01:03.630
But now....
1070
01:01:04.420 --> 01:01:07.469
I am going to turn that ray on that body...
1071
01:01:07.889 --> 01:01:11.590
and endow it with life. And you really believe that
1072
01:01:11.610 --> 01:01:13.309
you can bring life to the dead?
1073
01:01:14.610 --> 01:01:20.360
That body is not dead. It has never lived. I
1074
01:01:20.559 --> 01:01:21.239
created it.
1075
01:01:22.039 --> 01:01:24.699
I made it with my own hands, from the bodies
1076
01:01:24.800 --> 01:01:27.389
I took from graves, from the gallows, anywhere.
1077
01:01:31.409 --> 01:01:32.690
Go and see for yourself.
1078
01:01:52.360 --> 01:01:57.780
Quite a good scene, isn't it? One man crazy, three
1079
01:01:57.860 --> 01:01:59.389
very sane spectators.
1080
01:02:00.860 --> 01:02:03.949
Yeah, you are kind of crazy. I'm not going to
1081
01:02:04.010 --> 01:02:08.409
lie here. I like that whole one man crazy and
1082
01:02:08.429 --> 01:02:10.730
he's like tapping his chest in the way that he's
1083
01:02:10.750 --> 01:02:16.429
looking at three very sane spectators. Like, honestly, in the
1084
01:02:16.449 --> 01:02:18.510
back of my mind, like I want to hear Tim
1085
01:02:18.550 --> 01:02:21.900
Curry say it. like in like the Rocky horror picture,
1086
01:02:21.960 --> 01:02:25.409
like show type of thing where he's Dr. Frankenfurter. Like,
1087
01:02:25.449 --> 01:02:27.670
I think it'd be really cool if he had ever
1088
01:02:27.849 --> 01:02:30.750
done the role as Victor Frankenstein or Henry Frankenstein or
1089
01:02:30.789 --> 01:02:33.239
whomever Frankenstein you want to be, you know, he could
1090
01:02:33.260 --> 01:02:36.139
have been Joe Frankenstein for all I fucking care. Uh,
1091
01:02:36.440 --> 01:02:39.000
or Frankenstein, if you really wanted to be that, but
1092
01:02:39.019 --> 01:02:44.699
there's only one Frankenstein. Uh, but it's still like, He's
1093
01:02:44.800 --> 01:02:49.469
just trying to, there's a lot of like old, old
1094
01:02:49.530 --> 01:02:52.329
school science mumbo jumbo. And there's always going to be
1095
01:02:52.469 --> 01:02:55.030
old school science mumbo jumbo whenever we do any of
1096
01:02:55.050 --> 01:02:57.849
these type of like really old movies like this. Just
1097
01:02:57.909 --> 01:03:02.519
because that's just what they were like thinking about. Like it's,
1098
01:03:03.179 --> 01:03:07.050
at the same time, it's silly. But it's also kind
1099
01:03:07.090 --> 01:03:10.449
of cool because you didn't know the things that you knew.
1100
01:03:10.889 --> 01:03:15.789
Like everything back then was such something that you didn't
1101
01:03:15.869 --> 01:03:19.690
know exactly what everything was. And you could just make
1102
01:03:19.769 --> 01:03:22.949
up things that people could believe in movies like this
1103
01:03:23.389 --> 01:03:27.460
where it's like, hey, that could really be a thing.
1104
01:03:27.860 --> 01:03:30.440
Like they are experimenting with these types of things and
1105
01:03:30.480 --> 01:03:34.179
they're doing even more. And maybe we will have something similar.
1106
01:03:34.300 --> 01:03:37.980
That's even greater than ultraviolet rays. You know what I'll
1107
01:03:38.019 --> 01:03:43.090
call it? I'll call it the super duper ultraviolet mega ray. Yeah,
1108
01:03:43.230 --> 01:03:46.190
that's what it's going to be. Like, you could make
1109
01:03:46.289 --> 01:03:51.090
shit up like that, and audiences would be thrilled by it.
1110
01:03:51.630 --> 01:03:54.659
And you just can't get away with that shit now. Like,
1111
01:03:54.929 --> 01:04:00.320
audiences are so fucking jaded to stuff. And even, you know,
1112
01:04:00.440 --> 01:04:02.659
us watching an old film like this, you just kind
1113
01:04:02.699 --> 01:04:06.139
of scoff at it because it's silly knowing what we
1114
01:04:06.199 --> 01:04:09.889
know now and thinking about that. But just imagine a
1115
01:04:09.989 --> 01:04:14.050
sci-fi movie, like, or a horror movie like this, just
1116
01:04:14.510 --> 01:04:18.070
making up some, having a line specifically like that. Like,
1117
01:04:18.349 --> 01:04:21.630
they would do something similar, but it would be very subtle.
1118
01:04:21.969 --> 01:04:25.619
And you wouldn't have that type of, like, engrossing type
1119
01:04:25.659 --> 01:04:29.199
of content for this type of movie, because maybe it's
1120
01:04:29.239 --> 01:04:33.460
something that actually could be something because we're still in
1121
01:04:33.500 --> 01:04:37.489
the midst of discovery of discovering new types of science
1122
01:04:37.550 --> 01:04:40.989
and discovering new types of, you know, animals and plant
1123
01:04:41.050 --> 01:04:43.949
life and, and things about the human body that we
1124
01:04:44.030 --> 01:04:48.630
just don't quite understand. And today, you know, discoveries don't
1125
01:04:48.769 --> 01:04:53.179
happen as much. It's more or less perfecting what we've done. Now,
1126
01:04:53.440 --> 01:04:56.000
don't get me wrong. There still are discoveries, and there's
1127
01:04:56.059 --> 01:04:59.800
great discoveries, but it gets down to the microscopic level,
1128
01:04:59.920 --> 01:05:04.599
like how we've discovered different types of diseases and cancers
1129
01:05:04.780 --> 01:05:07.199
and how to treat them and how to prolong people's
1130
01:05:07.260 --> 01:05:10.929
life and do things like that. That's the really amazing stuff,
1131
01:05:10.969 --> 01:05:13.809
that we're able to put stuff into different types of
1132
01:05:13.849 --> 01:05:19.250
medication where before that type of disease or whatever that
1133
01:05:19.269 --> 01:05:22.550
you would have would be almost an automatic death sentence
1134
01:05:23.050 --> 01:05:25.639
once you have it. And now you could still live
1135
01:05:25.699 --> 01:05:28.559
with something like that for years and years and years
1136
01:05:28.639 --> 01:05:33.119
to come. But if you try to talk about light
1137
01:05:33.239 --> 01:05:36.590
rays and a bigger light ray than it actually would be,
1138
01:05:37.030 --> 01:05:40.369
people would just be like, oh, this thing's crap. And
1139
01:05:40.449 --> 01:05:43.150
I don't want to watch this. This thing sucks. It's
1140
01:05:43.190 --> 01:05:45.210
a horrible movie. Let's just throw it away. And I'm
1141
01:05:45.230 --> 01:05:48.010
pretty sure there are other reasons why, too, nowadays that
1142
01:05:48.050 --> 01:05:50.349
people would say something's horrible and not give it a
1143
01:05:50.409 --> 01:05:53.630
fucking chance just because somebody said something else. Or a
1144
01:05:53.730 --> 01:05:57.289
specific person said something else, but I digress from that.
1145
01:05:57.690 --> 01:06:00.650
But it's just, it's kind of cool. It's kind of
1146
01:06:00.670 --> 01:06:03.909
cool to look back on that and not necessarily have
1147
01:06:03.989 --> 01:06:08.429
those similar types of experiences nowadays. Some sci-fi does it,
1148
01:06:08.500 --> 01:06:11.820
but sci-fi is few and far between nowadays. And this
1149
01:06:11.880 --> 01:06:17.599
definitely would categorize more sci-fi horror than anything else. There's
1150
01:06:17.639 --> 01:06:20.139
no aliens or anything like that, but the experiments that
1151
01:06:20.179 --> 01:06:24.070
he's doing are definitely sci-fi. So thunder and lightning begin
1152
01:06:24.130 --> 01:06:27.610
to clap and, you know, shatter the room. And so
1153
01:06:27.750 --> 01:06:30.610
he looks over to Fritz, asks, is everything ready? And
1154
01:06:30.650 --> 01:06:33.400
it's time to test the batteries and to get everything rolling.
1155
01:06:33.800 --> 01:06:36.679
So Victor, Valdman and Elizabeth all sit down in their
1156
01:06:36.699 --> 01:06:41.119
chairs and Frankenstein goes to work as the electricity starts
1157
01:06:41.139 --> 01:06:43.989
going in one of the coolest fucking scenes in all
1158
01:06:44.030 --> 01:06:47.019
of cinema. and watching the Tesla coil in the background
1159
01:06:47.079 --> 01:06:49.389
do what it does, having them go through all the,
1160
01:06:49.400 --> 01:06:52.920
you know, have the lights and wires and them unveiling
1161
01:06:52.980 --> 01:06:56.280
the Frankenstein monster, bringing it up into the air as
1162
01:06:56.380 --> 01:06:59.940
it goes further and further up the tower till eventually
1163
01:07:00.019 --> 01:07:04.820
the lightning strikes and sets everything off. Thus, You know,
1164
01:07:04.940 --> 01:07:08.449
hopefully creating the light. And it's just light that you
1165
01:07:08.530 --> 01:07:11.829
see above. And it's just the way the set design
1166
01:07:11.929 --> 01:07:15.699
is and how magical everything looks in the scene. And,
1167
01:07:15.820 --> 01:07:18.280
you know, you don't necessarily see all of it. It's
1168
01:07:18.340 --> 01:07:22.940
more hearing it and watching people's reactions. But it's still cool. Like,
1169
01:07:23.380 --> 01:07:26.960
I totally enjoy this scene. in the way that it is.
1170
01:07:27.059 --> 01:07:30.139
And then the last thing that you see, of course,
1171
01:07:30.380 --> 01:07:33.699
is the lights stop and then bring the body down
1172
01:07:34.239 --> 01:07:40.159
once everything has basically gone through all the different machinery
1173
01:07:40.239 --> 01:07:43.179
and different electrical components that they have there. And now
1174
01:07:43.380 --> 01:07:46.260
as the body is lowered down to the ground, we're
1175
01:07:46.280 --> 01:07:49.179
going to find out, did the experiment work? And as
1176
01:07:49.260 --> 01:07:52.460
we slowly pan over to the hand of the Frankenstein
1177
01:07:52.500 --> 01:07:56.170
monster that's there, it starts to move, and we get
1178
01:07:56.630 --> 01:08:00.900
the best lines in all of cinema. These are some
1179
01:08:00.940 --> 01:08:02.739
of the best lines that are there. Now, one of
1180
01:08:02.800 --> 01:08:06.219
them is very iconic, and the other one was the
1181
01:08:06.360 --> 01:08:08.400
one that they tried to take out of the film
1182
01:08:08.480 --> 01:08:11.420
that was kept into it, which, in my mind, is
1183
01:08:11.599 --> 01:08:15.659
one of the best lines in all of cinema. I
1184
01:08:15.900 --> 01:08:20.279
love the way that it's given, and I love the
1185
01:08:20.380 --> 01:08:23.199
idea behind it that we get out of here where
1186
01:08:23.640 --> 01:08:26.680
You know, this is what it's like to be God.
1187
01:08:26.699 --> 01:08:35.989
Luke, it's moving. It's alive.
1188
01:08:36.630 --> 01:08:41.210
It's alive. It's alive.
1189
01:08:41.270 --> 01:08:41.989
It's alive.
1190
01:08:42.069 --> 01:08:43.130
It's alive.
1191
01:08:43.489 --> 01:08:43.810
It's alive.
1192
01:08:44.069 --> 01:08:45.069
It's alive.
1193
01:08:45.170 --> 01:08:46.090
It's alive.
1194
01:08:46.130 --> 01:08:47.329
In the name of God.
1195
01:08:47.489 --> 01:08:50.449
Now I know what it feels like to be God.
1196
01:08:52.210 --> 01:08:56.560
It's just, it's fucking cool. Like, I don't know what
1197
01:08:56.619 --> 01:08:58.640
else to say, It just the way that it is
1198
01:08:58.699 --> 01:09:01.149
and how he he's looking around the room and how
1199
01:09:01.210 --> 01:09:04.630
it starts off with that small little build. It's alive.
1200
01:09:05.430 --> 01:09:09.390
It's alive. And he's just getting even more and more like.
1201
01:09:10.119 --> 01:09:14.649
happiness and excitedness in it and that his experiments actually
1202
01:09:14.729 --> 01:09:16.869
worked and he did what he said he was going
1203
01:09:16.909 --> 01:09:20.510
to do and what he created actually did work. And
1204
01:09:20.529 --> 01:09:23.750
it brought something back to life, something that he made
1205
01:09:23.829 --> 01:09:26.510
with his own hands. And it just builds to the
1206
01:09:26.550 --> 01:09:32.590
crescendo of it's alive. It's alive. And it, just get that,
1207
01:09:32.789 --> 01:09:36.460
that tingly feeling in your body when you see this.
1208
01:09:36.739 --> 01:09:38.979
And especially when you see it for the first time,
1209
01:09:39.319 --> 01:09:42.989
because you don't know exactly what, what's going to happen
1210
01:09:43.029 --> 01:09:45.739
here and what experiment he's doing and how he's doing it.
1211
01:09:45.850 --> 01:09:46.010
Right.
1212
01:09:46.380 --> 01:09:49.539
You know, the tale of Frankenstein, you know, especially for
1213
01:09:49.680 --> 01:09:52.199
us in, in this day and age, we've heard this
1214
01:09:52.239 --> 01:09:56.020
story so many times and it's been mimicked in different ways.
1215
01:09:56.359 --> 01:09:59.010
And we've had this line given out, but to see
1216
01:09:59.060 --> 01:10:02.109
this as a kid for the very first time and
1217
01:10:02.250 --> 01:10:06.270
just the, the awe in what he's done. And I'm
1218
01:10:06.310 --> 01:10:08.170
going to admit it too, because when I was a kid,
1219
01:10:08.329 --> 01:10:11.609
like this was my favorite part of this movie was
1220
01:10:11.869 --> 01:10:16.279
the bringing Frankenstein's monster to life. And, But the rest
1221
01:10:16.300 --> 01:10:19.090
of the film, I was just kind of always like, eh, on.
1222
01:10:19.609 --> 01:10:23.869
But I really admire it now more than I did
1223
01:10:23.949 --> 01:10:26.329
as when I was younger. And that's part of the
1224
01:10:26.390 --> 01:10:29.060
joy of going back to these old films is I
1225
01:10:29.069 --> 01:10:31.000
can always look of when I saw them. Like the
1226
01:10:31.060 --> 01:10:33.640
joy of watching is watching it with my grandfather. That
1227
01:10:33.960 --> 01:10:36.220
was always going to be the joy. And that was
1228
01:10:36.300 --> 01:10:38.779
in sitting there with my sister, my grandmother, my grandfather watching.
1229
01:10:39.729 --> 01:10:42.949
and watching these old movies. And every now and then, maybe,
1230
01:10:42.970 --> 01:10:45.810
you know, if my uncle was around, or, you know,
1231
01:10:46.029 --> 01:10:48.689
if my cousins happened to be there, and we were
1232
01:10:48.810 --> 01:10:51.210
watching something, but I don't remember if they ever remember
1233
01:10:51.270 --> 01:10:53.470
watching any of these with us. And I think the
1234
01:10:53.529 --> 01:10:55.600
only one that maybe we watched together might have been
1235
01:10:55.609 --> 01:10:58.880
the creature from the Black Lagoon, or I always forget
1236
01:10:58.909 --> 01:11:02.880
what my uncle calls it. It's like the monster from
1237
01:11:02.920 --> 01:11:05.500
the swamp or some shit like that. I'm pretty sure that,
1238
01:11:05.800 --> 01:11:09.100
you know, Paranormal Pat will correct me on exactly what
1239
01:11:09.140 --> 01:11:12.800
it is. But, you know, it's one of those things.
1240
01:11:12.859 --> 01:11:18.180
But this, it's that memory that's stronger than the film.
1241
01:11:18.500 --> 01:11:21.859
And nowadays, the film is just as good as the memory.
1242
01:11:22.340 --> 01:11:24.939
And I'll always have the memory. But watching these movies
1243
01:11:25.020 --> 01:11:28.319
back and seeing these scenes and how they culminate with
1244
01:11:28.380 --> 01:11:32.619
each other, it just brings this warmness to my heart. Now,
1245
01:11:32.989 --> 01:11:35.550
there's one of these movies that I actually never watched
1246
01:11:35.649 --> 01:11:38.109
with him. And we only watched kind of like the...
1247
01:11:38.619 --> 01:11:41.489
I would say the main monsters, the ones that everybody
1248
01:11:41.569 --> 01:11:43.170
kind of remembers because one of them kind of gets
1249
01:11:43.210 --> 01:11:47.430
thrown off into... Because he's not really a monster per se, right?
1250
01:11:47.550 --> 01:11:50.510
He's a monster, but he's not a monster. And you
1251
01:11:50.550 --> 01:11:54.069
just don't remember him as much as you do everybody else.
1252
01:11:54.090 --> 01:11:56.140
I actually kind of think the Gill Man took his place,
1253
01:11:56.460 --> 01:12:00.039
to be honest with you. Which, for some, might be great.
1254
01:12:00.100 --> 01:12:03.560
But the ones that we would all watch together, I'm
1255
01:12:03.600 --> 01:12:08.079
basically covering them except for the one. But nonetheless... So
1256
01:12:08.319 --> 01:12:12.880
the monster has been brought to life and he is ecstatic.
1257
01:12:13.380 --> 01:12:16.279
And we fade over to the next morning where Elizabeth
1258
01:12:16.319 --> 01:12:19.189
and Victor have gone back and there's a long section.
1259
01:12:19.270 --> 01:12:22.250
And I debated thoroughly whether or not to include this
1260
01:12:22.310 --> 01:12:25.189
in the film. And I decided, or in the review,
1261
01:12:25.630 --> 01:12:27.270
not in the film, I didn't have any hand in
1262
01:12:27.329 --> 01:12:29.289
filming this thing. It would be hilarious if I did.
1263
01:12:29.369 --> 01:12:31.970
Somehow I went back in time, decided to show up
1264
01:12:31.989 --> 01:12:33.840
and be like, Hey, this is exactly how you're going
1265
01:12:33.850 --> 01:12:36.260
to do it. You're going to cast these people, you know, uh,
1266
01:12:37.170 --> 01:12:39.010
our friend Legosi, he's going to want to do it.
1267
01:12:39.029 --> 01:12:40.899
But if you make the monster like this, he won't
1268
01:12:40.939 --> 01:12:42.060
do it. And that way you're going to get this
1269
01:12:42.119 --> 01:12:44.920
great actor called Boris Karloff, and he's going to do
1270
01:12:44.960 --> 01:12:46.760
this film. And they'd all look at me, who the
1271
01:12:46.939 --> 01:12:49.039
fuck are you? And what's up with those goddamn clothes?
1272
01:12:49.060 --> 01:12:51.819
You fucking weirdo. And why the hell is a Mexican
1273
01:12:51.840 --> 01:12:54.140
man talking to us anyway? And then I'd have to
1274
01:12:54.199 --> 01:12:56.960
run for my life, but that might be something different,
1275
01:12:57.260 --> 01:13:00.970
but nonetheless. So I thought about excluding this or including
1276
01:13:01.020 --> 01:13:03.869
it within the pod. And ultimately I thought to exclude
1277
01:13:03.890 --> 01:13:07.680
it because I don't think that it's, it's worth it
1278
01:13:07.720 --> 01:13:10.640
enough for the length of it to really what's going
1279
01:13:10.720 --> 01:13:14.159
on here. But it's the introduction of Henry's father and
1280
01:13:14.460 --> 01:13:16.819
he wants to know exactly where his son is and
1281
01:13:16.880 --> 01:13:20.680
what's going on. And he's very like worried about, you know,
1282
01:13:20.699 --> 01:13:22.800
the marriage that's because it's supposed to be a wedding
1283
01:13:22.840 --> 01:13:24.890
that's happening. The whole town is getting ready for the
1284
01:13:24.930 --> 01:13:28.569
wearing and the burgo master is coming over, bringing flowers
1285
01:13:28.630 --> 01:13:30.569
over for Elizabeth and trying to get the wedding. And
1286
01:13:30.609 --> 01:13:32.989
he's trying to get his son back. And it's kind
1287
01:13:33.029 --> 01:13:35.850
of the comic relief. To be honest, this is the
1288
01:13:35.909 --> 01:13:37.829
part that I call the comic relief, but it's not
1289
01:13:37.869 --> 01:13:41.050
really the comic relief. The character is silly, but it's
1290
01:13:41.109 --> 01:13:44.479
not like Martin in The Last and Dracula, where that's
1291
01:13:44.529 --> 01:13:48.520
more ha-ha funny, and there really isn't a ha-ha funny moment.
1292
01:13:48.960 --> 01:13:51.199
There is one, but I think, again, it's part of
1293
01:13:51.220 --> 01:13:55.500
the times, which I did include in this. But overall,
1294
01:13:55.579 --> 01:13:59.039
it's basically just him talking to Victor and Elizabeth, him
1295
01:13:59.100 --> 01:14:01.390
trying to figure out where his son is, believes that
1296
01:14:01.430 --> 01:14:04.010
his son may be cheating on Elizabeth, and that he's
1297
01:14:04.029 --> 01:14:05.529
going to go after and he's going to bring his
1298
01:14:05.550 --> 01:14:08.250
son back because there's no reason why his son, who's,
1299
01:14:08.369 --> 01:14:11.090
you know, the son of a famous baron out here,
1300
01:14:11.409 --> 01:14:14.380
should be in a ratty old windmill up on the hill.
1301
01:14:14.739 --> 01:14:16.720
So he's going to go set him straight and bring
1302
01:14:16.779 --> 01:14:19.960
his son home. Literally, that's all the scene is. And
1303
01:14:20.020 --> 01:14:23.140
it's like a almost three-minute scene that we have here.
1304
01:14:23.539 --> 01:14:26.050
And while it's good and it's fine for what it is,
1305
01:14:26.119 --> 01:14:29.350
it's just not worth it to put it in the podcast. So,
1306
01:14:29.949 --> 01:14:31.890
We have this, and then we go back up onto
1307
01:14:31.909 --> 01:14:35.430
the hill, and we see that Valdman and, you know, Frankenstein,
1308
01:14:35.550 --> 01:14:38.729
they're talking, sitting at the table, discussing the work that
1309
01:14:38.770 --> 01:14:42.289
he's done, and, you know, Frankie over here, he's very
1310
01:14:42.390 --> 01:14:45.170
full of himself, and the doctor is very worried, and
1311
01:14:45.229 --> 01:14:47.810
he's more or less, like, happy, look, I did this,
1312
01:14:48.350 --> 01:14:51.289
I'm great, I did exactly what I said I was
1313
01:14:51.350 --> 01:14:54.010
gonna do, you guys didn't believe in me, called me crazy,
1314
01:14:54.170 --> 01:14:57.649
and I'm not the fucking crazy one because it actually worked.
1315
01:14:58.220 --> 01:14:58.439
Right.
1316
01:14:58.770 --> 01:15:01.819
But the doctor is more worried about what he's created
1317
01:15:02.220 --> 01:15:05.579
and the fact that, you know, the brain that is
1318
01:15:05.920 --> 01:15:09.779
in that monster over there. If you got the brain
1319
01:15:09.819 --> 01:15:12.579
that I'm thinking about, it's not the brain that you
1320
01:15:12.779 --> 01:15:15.489
think it is. And in fact, what was stolen from
1321
01:15:15.529 --> 01:15:19.630
my lab happens to be an abnormal criminal brain. And
1322
01:15:19.689 --> 01:15:22.770
you might have just created a huge fucking monster. Now,
1323
01:15:23.310 --> 01:15:25.090
I'm going to play the clip that is going to
1324
01:15:25.109 --> 01:15:27.010
explain that. And I do want to say one point
1325
01:15:27.229 --> 01:15:30.109
in this, because when he does tell him about the brain,
1326
01:15:30.289 --> 01:15:33.479
there is like a what feels like a 20 second pause.
1327
01:15:33.939 --> 01:15:36.899
That is just dead air that happens in here. And
1328
01:15:36.939 --> 01:15:39.600
I shorten it up to like two seconds. So that
1329
01:15:39.659 --> 01:15:42.859
way we're not listening to 20 seconds of absolutely nothing
1330
01:15:42.939 --> 01:15:46.170
that's in there. but it's a good reaction scene that
1331
01:15:46.970 --> 01:15:49.869
Henry has to that as he realizes that the brain
1332
01:15:49.909 --> 01:15:52.909
that's inside might not actually be a normal brain and
1333
01:15:52.930 --> 01:15:55.909
it might be from a one Abbey normal that we
1334
01:15:55.949 --> 01:16:00.050
have over here. So you have to use your imagination
1335
01:16:00.590 --> 01:16:03.350
in realizing that that's what's going on as it jumps
1336
01:16:03.550 --> 01:16:05.729
really quick over to him talking again.
1337
01:16:06.289 --> 01:16:07.850
Come and sit down, Doctor.
1338
01:16:09.090 --> 01:16:12.789
You must be patient. Do you expect perfection at once?
1339
01:16:14.079 --> 01:16:17.779
This creature of yours should be kept under guard. Mark
1340
01:16:17.819 --> 01:16:22.319
my words, he will prove dangerous. Dangerous?
1341
01:16:23.979 --> 01:16:30.680
Poor old bowman. Have you never wanted to do anything
1342
01:16:30.699 --> 01:16:34.479
that was dangerous? Where should we be if nobody tried
1343
01:16:34.500 --> 01:16:38.199
to find out what lies beyond? You never wanted to
1344
01:16:38.239 --> 01:16:41.560
look beyond the clouds and the stars? Or to know
1345
01:16:41.619 --> 01:16:45.189
what causes the trees to bud? And what changes a
1346
01:16:45.229 --> 01:16:51.899
darkness into light? But if you talk like that, people
1347
01:16:52.000 --> 01:16:58.239
call you crazy. Well, if I could discover just one
1348
01:16:58.279 --> 01:17:03.539
of these things, what eternity is, for example, I wouldn't
1349
01:17:03.939 --> 01:17:07.930
care if they did think I was crazy. You're young,
1350
01:17:07.989 --> 01:17:12.369
my friend. Your success has intoxicated you. Wake up and
1351
01:17:12.409 --> 01:17:16.149
look facts in the face. Here we have a fiend
1352
01:17:16.409 --> 01:17:19.619
whose brain... Whose brain must be given time to develop.
1353
01:17:20.739 --> 01:17:24.359
It's a perfectly good brain, Doctor. Well, you ought to know.
1354
01:17:24.920 --> 01:17:26.600
It came from your own laboratory.
1355
01:17:27.880 --> 01:17:31.260
The brain that was stolen from my laboratory was a
1356
01:17:31.359 --> 01:17:32.039
criminal brain.
1357
01:17:34.819 --> 01:17:37.869
Oh, well, after all, it's only a piece of dead tissue.
1358
01:17:38.930 --> 01:17:39.630
Only....
1359
01:17:41.220 --> 01:17:44.060
Your health will be ruined if you persist in this madness.
1360
01:17:44.359 --> 01:17:49.100
I'm astonishingly sane, Doctor. You have created a monster and
1361
01:17:49.159 --> 01:17:50.119
it will destroy you.
1362
01:17:50.659 --> 01:17:52.159
Patience, patience.
1363
01:17:53.560 --> 01:17:56.609
I believe in this monster, as you call it. And
1364
01:17:56.649 --> 01:17:59.710
if you don't, well, you must leave me alone. But
1365
01:17:59.729 --> 01:18:04.750
think of Elizabeth, your father. Elizabeth believes in me. My
1366
01:18:04.850 --> 01:18:11.460
father never believes in anyone. I've got to experiment further.
1367
01:18:12.439 --> 01:18:15.840
He's only a few days old, remember? So far, he's
1368
01:18:15.880 --> 01:18:19.619
been kept in complete darkness. Wait till I bring him
1369
01:18:19.659 --> 01:18:20.220
into the light.
1370
01:18:21.220 --> 01:18:24.079
And then who decides to show up? Why the good
1371
01:18:24.140 --> 01:18:26.260
old monster? He just shows up out of the middle
1372
01:18:26.279 --> 01:18:30.229
of nowhere, and he's been wandering around the castle because, like,
1373
01:18:30.800 --> 01:18:33.119
They turn out the lights basically to keep him in
1374
01:18:33.159 --> 01:18:36.819
the dark further. And the way that, you know, Waldman
1375
01:18:36.859 --> 01:18:41.050
talks to Frankenstein here is absolutely true because he's just
1376
01:18:41.170 --> 01:18:44.939
drunk on his own success. He thinks that he's done it.
1377
01:18:45.329 --> 01:18:47.510
And that's, you know, which he has done it.
1378
01:18:47.689 --> 01:18:47.890
Right.
1379
01:18:48.270 --> 01:18:51.300
But like, he's the greatest scientist. known to man and
1380
01:18:51.520 --> 01:18:56.180
oh okay well you say it's a criminal brain well
1381
01:18:56.960 --> 01:19:00.050
that can't be that bad right it's just it's dead
1382
01:19:00.130 --> 01:19:03.310
tissue i brought this guy here you know i brought
1383
01:19:03.350 --> 01:19:06.590
him back to life and it's gonna have time and
1384
01:19:06.649 --> 01:19:09.649
it's gonna grow it's It's not just going to go
1385
01:19:09.770 --> 01:19:14.890
randomly killing people and throwing little girls into ponds and
1386
01:19:14.949 --> 01:19:18.680
drowning them or, you know, throwing me off place. It's
1387
01:19:18.720 --> 01:19:21.479
not going to do any of that. It's just going
1388
01:19:21.500 --> 01:19:24.819
to be like a child. It's going to understand me.
1389
01:19:25.140 --> 01:19:28.439
It's going to learn to grow and be a better
1390
01:19:28.600 --> 01:19:30.920
person than it is. And maybe one of these days,
1391
01:19:31.380 --> 01:19:34.100
you know, I can teach you to dance. It can
1392
01:19:34.140 --> 01:19:37.119
put on the Ritz. we don't know what the Ritz is,
1393
01:19:37.220 --> 01:19:39.500
but it could put it on. Maybe it's going to
1394
01:19:39.579 --> 01:19:42.939
do the waltz or, or what's that new dance that
1395
01:19:43.000 --> 01:19:47.270
all the kids are craving about nowadays. Is it the ballet?
1396
01:19:47.609 --> 01:19:51.130
It could do ballet. Like, come on, man. Maybe one
1397
01:19:51.170 --> 01:19:53.729
day it'll play like the hottest tunes of the day.
1398
01:19:53.750 --> 01:19:54.569
All right.
1399
01:19:54.689 --> 01:19:57.340
It's going to play some like, you know, mozart or
1400
01:19:57.380 --> 01:20:00.579
some some shit like that or maybe it'll create something
1401
01:20:00.779 --> 01:20:03.760
even better i heard there's this thing that maybe uh
1402
01:20:03.859 --> 01:20:06.520
it's like rock and or roll that might be coming
1403
01:20:06.619 --> 01:20:08.239
out in a couple years and maybe it's going to
1404
01:20:08.279 --> 01:20:11.369
discover how to do that you never know criminal brain
1405
01:20:11.850 --> 01:20:16.119
jesus christ You know, you're full of shit, Valdman. That's it.
1406
01:20:16.449 --> 01:20:18.989
I've said it. I'm the best scientist in the world.
1407
01:20:19.409 --> 01:20:22.630
I should be teaching your class and telling them everything
1408
01:20:22.670 --> 01:20:25.449
that you taught them was wrong because I brought this
1409
01:20:25.510 --> 01:20:28.520
thing back to life. And this is also the very
1410
01:20:28.560 --> 01:20:31.340
first time that we get the reveal of what the
1411
01:20:31.380 --> 01:20:35.229
monster looks like, right? And it's a good reveal. I
1412
01:20:35.270 --> 01:20:37.949
like the way that it's done because the door opens
1413
01:20:38.109 --> 01:20:40.729
and it's just the back to the monster. And then
1414
01:20:40.869 --> 01:20:44.229
we see the monster actually turn around and we get
1415
01:20:44.250 --> 01:20:46.310
a good look at the face and we see the
1416
01:20:46.630 --> 01:20:49.430
eyes and the kind of like deadness that's behind the eyes.
1417
01:20:49.909 --> 01:20:53.960
And it's both... deadness and like a little bit of
1418
01:20:54.239 --> 01:20:58.800
curiosity like of of childhood and youth at the same
1419
01:20:58.859 --> 01:21:01.720
time like it is a child that's just been born
1420
01:21:02.100 --> 01:21:05.039
and doesn't realize what's going on even though it has
1421
01:21:05.079 --> 01:21:09.060
a working brain is it the original brain or has
1422
01:21:09.119 --> 01:21:13.079
something happened with it where it's generating its own memories
1423
01:21:13.199 --> 01:21:15.859
or does it slowly start to remember the man it
1424
01:21:16.000 --> 01:21:19.010
used to be and I think it's more the former
1425
01:21:19.170 --> 01:21:22.489
than the latter, though maybe the latter could happen if
1426
01:21:22.810 --> 01:21:27.140
time gave itself to it, like, you know, as it grew.
1427
01:21:27.159 --> 01:21:30.600
Because it's only been a couple of days, a few days,
1428
01:21:30.680 --> 01:21:34.300
according to Victor Frankenstein, or Henry Frankenstein. I keep saying
1429
01:21:34.500 --> 01:21:37.270
Victor fucking Frankenstein. It's Henry for this movie.
1430
01:21:37.689 --> 01:21:37.810
But.
1431
01:21:38.430 --> 01:21:41.600
Nonetheless, so he brings the monster to the room along
1432
01:21:41.640 --> 01:21:45.039
with Valdman and has him follow him and eventually has
1433
01:21:45.079 --> 01:21:48.109
him go over to a chair to which he sits down.
1434
01:21:48.409 --> 01:21:52.010
And he understands what he's saying and... Again, I think
1435
01:21:52.069 --> 01:21:56.170
that the monster design is really good. It doesn't look
1436
01:21:56.409 --> 01:21:58.729
as bad as you would think it would. The makeup
1437
01:21:58.789 --> 01:22:02.100
does look pretty damn good for its time. And, you know,
1438
01:22:02.260 --> 01:22:04.899
I love the way that Boris Karloff moves around as
1439
01:22:04.939 --> 01:22:08.699
the monster. He's very slow and methodical, especially in this
1440
01:22:08.739 --> 01:22:11.960
scene here. And he kind of like leans forward just
1441
01:22:12.039 --> 01:22:15.779
a little bit as he walks, slowly kind of dragging
1442
01:22:15.819 --> 01:22:19.619
his feet. And it's very intimidating. And for an audience as,
1443
01:22:19.920 --> 01:22:24.760
you know, old as 1931 would be, it's pretty, you know,
1444
01:22:25.039 --> 01:22:28.909
intense for revealing this type of creature at this time.
1445
01:22:30.079 --> 01:22:32.439
He sits him down into a chair in the darkness
1446
01:22:32.479 --> 01:22:34.890
and then he opens up one of the skylights to
1447
01:22:35.050 --> 01:22:38.810
actually give him a taste of the outside world and
1448
01:22:38.829 --> 01:22:41.170
to actually be in the light for a moment.
1449
01:22:41.670 --> 01:22:41.739
And.
1450
01:22:42.350 --> 01:22:44.979
I love the look on the monster's face as he's
1451
01:22:45.060 --> 01:22:47.880
looking around and he's slowly looking up towards the light
1452
01:22:47.939 --> 01:22:50.100
and he almost gets like a smile on his face
1453
01:22:50.500 --> 01:22:53.479
and he stands up and he reaches his arms out
1454
01:22:53.539 --> 01:22:56.399
towards the light and it's like he's trying to grab
1455
01:22:56.460 --> 01:22:59.409
it and he's just getting more and more excited of
1456
01:22:59.529 --> 01:23:03.609
seeing the outside world to which they have to calm
1457
01:23:03.649 --> 01:23:06.909
him down and put him back into the darkness and
1458
01:23:06.970 --> 01:23:11.600
have him brought back under control. And just the face
1459
01:23:11.720 --> 01:23:14.460
that he makes to as like, he reaches up and
1460
01:23:14.539 --> 01:23:16.659
as they close the light down, because Valdman tells him
1461
01:23:16.680 --> 01:23:19.020
to close the light. And then all of a sudden
1462
01:23:19.060 --> 01:23:22.260
he starts like looking disappointed as he looks towards his father,
1463
01:23:22.319 --> 01:23:25.359
reaching out his hands. And he's just like, what the
1464
01:23:25.420 --> 01:23:27.479
fuck did you do? I was enjoying that shit. I
1465
01:23:27.520 --> 01:23:30.420
haven't seen sunlight in ever. I don't even know what
1466
01:23:30.439 --> 01:23:32.340
the fuck sunlight is. And then you show it to
1467
01:23:32.380 --> 01:23:35.050
me here. And so he tells him to go sit
1468
01:23:35.090 --> 01:23:37.689
back down and he goes and sits back down, but
1469
01:23:37.729 --> 01:23:39.909
he has his hands out and he's just kind of like,
1470
01:23:40.479 --> 01:23:44.229
waving them and he understands you know basically frankenstein's like
1471
01:23:44.649 --> 01:23:48.239
he understands time and everything's great and then fritz comes
1472
01:23:48.319 --> 01:23:51.300
in with a goddamn torch that's lit on fire and
1473
01:23:51.359 --> 01:23:54.029
scares the living shit out of the monster Fire!
1474
01:23:54.260 --> 01:23:54.979
Bad!
1475
01:23:55.159 --> 01:23:55.579
Fire!
1476
01:23:55.739 --> 01:23:56.159
No!
1477
01:23:56.180 --> 01:23:58.279
I don't want to see the fire! And so it
1478
01:23:58.300 --> 01:24:01.420
starts kind of going crazy, and it starts going after Fritz,
1479
01:24:01.500 --> 01:24:04.960
trying to attack him, and then as Frankenstein and Valdman
1480
01:24:05.000 --> 01:24:07.279
try to hold him back, it starts attacking them both,
1481
01:24:07.600 --> 01:24:10.430
till eventually Valdman gets behind him and karate chops him
1482
01:24:10.470 --> 01:24:14.270
in the back of the neck, knocking Frankenstein onto the ground,
1483
01:24:14.350 --> 01:24:17.029
the monster onto the ground, and Fritz goes and gets
1484
01:24:17.050 --> 01:24:18.750
a rope to tie him up, so that way they
1485
01:24:18.770 --> 01:24:21.529
can take him back stairs down into the dungeon. Like
1486
01:24:21.670 --> 01:24:25.020
he's literally been allowed to see sunlight for two fucking seconds.
1487
01:24:25.380 --> 01:24:27.699
And then he gets scared shitless by fire. And you're
1488
01:24:27.720 --> 01:24:30.090
going to karate chop the motherfucker in the back of
1489
01:24:30.130 --> 01:24:32.699
the neck. Like, come on, dude, that is kind of rude.
1490
01:24:32.880 --> 01:24:36.220
I get it. You know, big giant guy. You decided
1491
01:24:36.239 --> 01:24:38.560
to make somebody that was like six foot tall, not
1492
01:24:38.619 --> 01:24:40.899
something that you could actually fucking deal with. Like you
1493
01:24:40.939 --> 01:24:43.460
need to make him like five foot three. So that
1494
01:24:43.520 --> 01:24:45.880
way that you just kind of like hold your hand
1495
01:24:45.979 --> 01:24:47.859
out and hold it against his head when he tries
1496
01:24:47.880 --> 01:24:52.399
to come after you. That's right. Can't touch me, motherfucker.
1497
01:24:52.420 --> 01:24:57.100
You too short. Yeah. Okay. See, I do a really
1498
01:24:57.119 --> 01:25:01.109
good Frankenstein voice doing it. yeah you think so yeah
1499
01:25:01.149 --> 01:25:03.289
keep wailing your arms you think you can grab me
1500
01:25:03.350 --> 01:25:05.869
and like don't give him all the muscles and everything
1501
01:25:05.930 --> 01:25:09.149
that's there like you want to make the I guess
1502
01:25:09.409 --> 01:25:12.600
perfect man or something like that but I don't know
1503
01:25:13.020 --> 01:25:15.479
so they go downstairs they put him back into the
1504
01:25:15.539 --> 01:25:19.659
dungeon and you know Fritz is there whipping the shit
1505
01:25:19.760 --> 01:25:22.180
out of him at this point he's chained the fuck
1506
01:25:22.359 --> 01:25:25.159
up now down there Fritz why you gotta be a
1507
01:25:25.199 --> 01:25:29.609
dick I don't get it like I really don't get
1508
01:25:29.750 --> 01:25:32.510
why Fritz is the way that he is. And this
1509
01:25:32.590 --> 01:25:34.649
is another thing that does kind of irk me about
1510
01:25:34.689 --> 01:25:38.609
the movie is that they never really explained why Fritz
1511
01:25:38.710 --> 01:25:41.609
might want to have some type of like grudge against him.
1512
01:25:42.010 --> 01:25:45.590
Maybe because now he's become the master's favorite and Fritz
1513
01:25:45.789 --> 01:25:48.770
isn't the master's favorite at this current moment in time.
1514
01:25:49.210 --> 01:25:52.109
But eventually, you know, who else is going to get
1515
01:25:52.149 --> 01:25:55.130
more bodies for Frankenstein? Who else is going to find
1516
01:25:55.170 --> 01:25:58.470
another Abby normal brain that's over there? Like, Am I
1517
01:25:58.510 --> 01:26:02.250
saying that wrong? Hey, hey, you over there. Yeah, goddamn it.
1518
01:26:02.229 --> 01:26:04.619
You know this new producer is just fucking lazy. All
1519
01:26:04.659 --> 01:26:06.739
he does is lay on the goddamn bed and farts
1520
01:26:06.779 --> 01:26:09.720
all the goddamn time and stinks up the goddamn room.
1521
01:26:10.220 --> 01:26:12.439
Are you going to do your job? It's Abbey normal,
1522
01:26:12.500 --> 01:26:12.770
isn't it?
1523
01:26:13.920 --> 01:26:14.119
No?
1524
01:26:15.020 --> 01:26:16.960
No, it's not? I'm a fuck... It's Ab.
1525
01:26:19.619 --> 01:26:19.819
Oh!
1526
01:26:20.600 --> 01:26:24.539
Oh, that makes a lot more sense. It's abnormal. It's
1527
01:26:24.579 --> 01:26:29.430
an abnormal brain. Oh man, now I feel like an idiot. Ah, Fritz,
1528
01:26:29.479 --> 01:26:31.989
I shouldn't have called you an idiot before. Well, you're
1529
01:26:32.010 --> 01:26:34.909
still an idiot because you're antagonizing fucking Frankenstein over there.
1530
01:26:34.930 --> 01:26:36.960
It's like if I went to the producer, gave him
1531
01:26:37.000 --> 01:26:38.779
a bone, and then took it away real fast, and
1532
01:26:38.800 --> 01:26:40.340
then gave it to him again, then took it away
1533
01:26:40.399 --> 01:26:42.399
real fast. And then waved it in front of his
1534
01:26:42.439 --> 01:26:44.880
face and be like, oh, you want this? You want this?
1535
01:26:45.199 --> 01:26:46.770
And then he's looking at me like, yeah, I want
1536
01:26:46.810 --> 01:26:48.600
that motherfucker. And if you don't give it to me
1537
01:26:48.649 --> 01:26:50.449
right now, I'm going to bite your fucking hand for
1538
01:26:50.489 --> 01:26:52.609
that shit. And I'm like, okay, come on, come and
1539
01:26:52.649 --> 01:26:54.170
get it. And then when I try to take it
1540
01:26:54.210 --> 01:26:56.569
away real fast, he gets pissed off and then goes
1541
01:26:56.590 --> 01:26:58.909
ahead and attacks me. But luckily, he and I have
1542
01:26:58.949 --> 01:27:01.350
a very good working relationship and he wouldn't attack me
1543
01:27:01.409 --> 01:27:04.630
over a goddamn bone. At least, I don't think he would.
1544
01:27:05.170 --> 01:27:08.670
But he's still a better producer than the last guy, so...
1545
01:27:09.279 --> 01:27:11.319
I'm going to keep him hired for the time being.
1546
01:27:11.380 --> 01:27:15.140
And he's definitely a lot cheaper. So Frankenstein gets mad
1547
01:27:15.180 --> 01:27:18.470
at Fritz because he's basically trying to whip his ass, right?
1548
01:27:18.909 --> 01:27:20.750
And takes the whip away from him and tells him,
1549
01:27:20.829 --> 01:27:24.439
leave him the hell alone. Just leave fucking the monster
1550
01:27:24.520 --> 01:27:27.119
alone and come on, come with me and let's go.
1551
01:27:27.699 --> 01:27:30.439
And so he leaves and then Fritz goes and grabs
1552
01:27:30.479 --> 01:27:33.439
the fucking torch and starts wailing the torch at him.
1553
01:27:33.899 --> 01:27:37.930
And as Frankenstein and Waldman are upstairs, they hear screams
1554
01:27:38.020 --> 01:27:42.329
coming from below, which happens to be the end of Fritz.
1555
01:27:42.350 --> 01:27:46.449
Listen, what's that?
1556
01:27:46.869 --> 01:28:05.439
What's that? Come on, doctor, quick, hurry.
1557
01:28:05.979 --> 01:28:06.300
Come on.
1558
01:28:31.880 --> 01:28:32.569
Oh, I can't do this.
1559
01:28:32.060 --> 01:28:36.020
She hated Fritz. Fritz always tormented him.
1560
01:28:50.649 --> 01:28:52.880
Come pull yourself together.
1561
01:28:52.920 --> 01:28:53.659
What can we do?
1562
01:28:53.680 --> 01:28:54.220
Kill it.
1563
01:28:54.779 --> 01:28:55.920
As you would any savage animal.
1564
01:28:56.460 --> 01:28:57.560
We must overpower him first.
1565
01:28:58.000 --> 01:29:00.199
Get me a hypodermic needle. It's murder.
1566
01:29:00.220 --> 01:29:01.140
It's our only chance.
1567
01:29:01.640 --> 01:29:02.520
In a few minutes, he'll be.
1568
01:29:02.500 --> 01:29:03.100
Through that door.
1569
01:29:03.319 --> 01:29:04.180
Come, quick, hurry.
1570
01:29:04.899 --> 01:29:08.739
Now, is it really murder? Like, let me be frank here.
1571
01:29:08.760 --> 01:29:10.800
Can we park it here for a second? Is it
1572
01:29:10.859 --> 01:29:17.119
really murder because he's already dead? Like, he was dead once,
1573
01:29:17.960 --> 01:29:21.420
and then he came back to life. And now he's
1574
01:29:21.439 --> 01:29:23.479
going to be dead again? Like, are you thinking that
1575
01:29:23.520 --> 01:29:26.899
because he's alive, that because you're going to kill something
1576
01:29:26.920 --> 01:29:30.500
that's alive, that that automatically means that it's murder when
1577
01:29:30.560 --> 01:29:33.899
it might not in fact actually be murder? I mean,
1578
01:29:33.939 --> 01:29:37.279
it's just something to think about, right? It's a possibility
1579
01:29:37.319 --> 01:29:41.750
that it's murder, but... It might not actually be murder
1580
01:29:42.289 --> 01:29:45.229
in my eyes. I mean, I guess if you save
1581
01:29:45.289 --> 01:29:48.090
somebody's life... But see, that's the same person. This is
1582
01:29:48.170 --> 01:29:53.319
like multiple body parts being put together in somebody's random brain. So....
1583
01:29:54.250 --> 01:29:54.590
No?
1584
01:29:55.710 --> 01:29:58.689
Is that the general consensus around here? What do you think, producer?
1585
01:29:59.539 --> 01:30:02.199
He is wagging his tail. That means he agrees with me.
1586
01:30:02.359 --> 01:30:04.659
And therefore, it is not murder.
1587
01:30:05.119 --> 01:30:05.319
So.
1588
01:30:06.300 --> 01:30:11.239
But, yeah. It's... It's interesting here because they walk downstairs
1589
01:30:11.279 --> 01:30:14.260
and they see that Fritz has been hung inside the cell.
1590
01:30:14.600 --> 01:30:17.880
And as Frankenstein tries to get closer to Fritz's body
1591
01:30:17.920 --> 01:30:20.640
to take him down, the monster just does not want
1592
01:30:20.699 --> 01:30:22.779
him to do it. And he's just like, no, this
1593
01:30:22.859 --> 01:30:29.270
is my work. Mine. Don't do that. I killed him.
1594
01:30:29.289 --> 01:30:34.289
This is mine. I don't know why he does the
1595
01:30:34.329 --> 01:30:38.640
meow type thing for what it is. But nonetheless... So
1596
01:30:38.880 --> 01:30:41.079
they lock him back in the room and they determine
1597
01:30:41.119 --> 01:30:43.420
that the only way, at least Valdman does, the only
1598
01:30:43.460 --> 01:30:46.699
way to stop him because they realize that, hey, he's
1599
01:30:46.739 --> 01:30:48.890
a monster after all. The only thing that we can
1600
01:30:48.930 --> 01:30:52.289
do is we can fucking kill him. So they decide
1601
01:30:52.310 --> 01:30:53.850
that that's what they're going to do. And they go
1602
01:30:53.890 --> 01:30:57.630
get a hypodermic needle from upstairs. And eventually Frankenstein comes
1603
01:30:57.750 --> 01:31:01.350
back with the hypodermic needle and a torch to lure,
1604
01:31:01.510 --> 01:31:04.890
you know, and distract Frankenstein because he still doesn't like
1605
01:31:04.949 --> 01:31:08.789
the fire. As he goes, Valdman goes from behind him
1606
01:31:09.210 --> 01:31:10.970
and tries to stab him in the back of the
1607
01:31:11.130 --> 01:31:13.930
neck with a needle. But of course, Frankenstein is way
1608
01:31:13.970 --> 01:31:17.489
too strong for them. And Frankenstein is able to overpower
1609
01:31:17.529 --> 01:31:21.220
them for just a moment. But eventually, Valdman does manage
1610
01:31:21.239 --> 01:31:23.180
to get the needle in his back and knocks the
1611
01:31:23.220 --> 01:31:26.720
fuck out of Frankenstein. So Frankenstein is there, collapsed on
1612
01:31:26.760 --> 01:31:29.579
the ground. And we see, you know, he does manage
1613
01:31:29.619 --> 01:31:32.319
to attack Valdman, too, throws him to the ground, and
1614
01:31:32.399 --> 01:31:35.100
then gets, like, scared by the fire and tries to
1615
01:31:35.119 --> 01:31:38.310
fight Frankenstein for the actual fire that's there, throws it
1616
01:31:38.369 --> 01:31:41.270
away from him, almost grabs him in like a suplex,
1617
01:31:41.329 --> 01:31:44.449
starts choking the ever-loving shit out of Frankenstein, too, by
1618
01:31:44.489 --> 01:31:47.229
the way, and then before he's able to complete the deed,
1619
01:31:47.550 --> 01:31:50.189
that's when whatever gets injected into the back of Frankenstein
1620
01:31:50.550 --> 01:31:54.680
causes him to collapse. He, like, slowly fades out and
1621
01:31:54.720 --> 01:31:57.939
then falls onto the floor. That's when Victor shows up,
1622
01:31:58.319 --> 01:32:01.819
saying that, hey, guess what? You're gonna have guests very soon.
1623
01:32:02.039 --> 01:32:05.409
Waldman is okay, but Elizabeth and his father are coming
1624
01:32:05.489 --> 01:32:07.510
up there to see him, so they have to grab
1625
01:32:07.550 --> 01:32:10.409
the body and fucking hightail it out of there before
1626
01:32:10.449 --> 01:32:14.189
the father arrives. So they grab the monster's body, drag
1627
01:32:14.229 --> 01:32:18.020
him into the cellar that's there, and Waldman tells Frankenstein
1628
01:32:18.060 --> 01:32:20.239
he needs to clean the blood off his face before
1629
01:32:20.279 --> 01:32:23.340
his father shows up, and that's when his father does
1630
01:32:23.399 --> 01:32:27.100
manage to show up at the door with good old Elizabeth.
1631
01:32:27.439 --> 01:32:29.409
Pretty sort of place for my son to be in,
1632
01:32:29.550 --> 01:32:32.590
I must say. Is that the front door?
1633
01:32:32.609 --> 01:32:34.250
Yes, this is it.
1634
01:32:34.909 --> 01:32:35.399
Well, I.
1635
01:32:35.390 --> 01:32:35.470
I.
1636
01:32:37.029 --> 01:32:46.569
Don't like it, but here goes... There doesn't seem to
1637
01:32:46.609 --> 01:32:51.229
be anybody in the place, son. Oh.
1638
01:32:52.310 --> 01:32:56.430
God.
1639
01:32:56.649 --> 01:32:58.300
What a.
1640
01:32:58.350 --> 01:33:03.439
What a forsaken place here. You're trying to burn it down, eh?
1641
01:33:03.479 --> 01:33:04.420
What's that for, eh?
1642
01:33:04.460 --> 01:33:07.140
What? Well, what's the matter with you? You look as
1643
01:33:07.180 --> 01:33:08.579
if you've been kicked by a horse.
1644
01:33:09.420 --> 01:33:10.140
Where's Henry?
1645
01:33:10.600 --> 01:33:10.800
Why?
1646
01:33:11.260 --> 01:33:11.460
Well.
1647
01:33:12.359 --> 01:33:15.399
He can't be disturbed just now. Oh, can't he? I'll
1648
01:33:15.439 --> 01:33:16.520
soon settle that nonsense.
1649
01:33:17.220 --> 01:33:17.979
Victor, where is he?
1650
01:33:18.600 --> 01:33:21.100
This place seems to drive everybody crazy.
1651
01:33:21.640 --> 01:33:24.119
Heavens, what's that?
1652
01:33:24.840 --> 01:33:25.659
I beg your pardon.
1653
01:33:26.159 --> 01:33:26.600
I am Dr.
1654
01:33:26.720 --> 01:33:27.020
Bosman.
1655
01:33:27.039 --> 01:33:27.859
Oh, are you?
1656
01:33:28.520 --> 01:33:33.039
I'm Baron Frankenstein. Perhaps you know what all this tommy
1657
01:33:33.079 --> 01:33:36.180
rot's about. I'll be shot if I do.
1658
01:33:36.840 --> 01:33:38.590
I would advise you to take Henry away from here
1659
01:33:38.649 --> 01:33:38.939
at once.
1660
01:33:38.970 --> 01:33:41.829
What do you suppose I'm here for? Pleasure? What?
1661
01:33:42.390 --> 01:33:42.649
Nah.
1662
01:33:43.270 --> 01:33:45.789
Yes, where are you, my dear? Oh, there you are.
1663
01:33:46.090 --> 01:33:48.210
Let's go and see what's up the awful stairs. I
1664
01:33:48.210 --> 01:33:50.270
don't know how the deuce I'm going to get out
1665
01:33:50.329 --> 01:33:54.270
of them, but... Ah, you want to be a deuce.
1666
01:33:54.449 --> 01:33:55.399
Leave them alone.
1667
01:33:55.600 --> 01:33:59.979
Yes, like this. No banisters or anything else. God bless
1668
01:34:00.020 --> 01:34:00.420
your soul.
1669
01:34:00.460 --> 01:34:01.100
How much further?
1670
01:34:02.020 --> 01:34:04.069
So it's funny because when I was watching the movie
1671
01:34:04.090 --> 01:34:06.729
the first time, well not the first time, during this time,
1672
01:34:06.750 --> 01:34:09.789
and after they have the struggle and the torch has
1673
01:34:09.810 --> 01:34:12.689
been knocked out of Frankenstein's hand and it's just lying
1674
01:34:12.750 --> 01:34:15.310
on the ground and they're like looking around like... Are
1675
01:34:15.340 --> 01:34:17.340
they just going to leave that right there? What are
1676
01:34:17.359 --> 01:34:19.239
you going to do with that goddamn torch? Like you
1677
01:34:19.260 --> 01:34:21.479
can't just leave it there in the middle of the open.
1678
01:34:21.840 --> 01:34:24.800
Like somebody's got to do something about that shit. And
1679
01:34:24.819 --> 01:34:26.920
then here comes in the father and he looks down.
1680
01:34:26.960 --> 01:34:29.119
He's like, what the hell is that thing down there for?
1681
01:34:29.140 --> 01:34:30.760
What are you trying to do? Burn the whole fucking
1682
01:34:30.800 --> 01:34:33.739
house down? And I just started laughing so goddamn hard.
1683
01:34:34.220 --> 01:34:36.500
Like that was what was funny to me. Like that
1684
01:34:36.579 --> 01:34:39.659
whole interaction, because that was immediately my thought. Like, why
1685
01:34:39.779 --> 01:34:41.390
are you just going to leave it there? What are
1686
01:34:41.399 --> 01:34:43.170
you going to do, burn the whole fucking place down
1687
01:34:43.229 --> 01:34:44.930
and just leave him there? And here comes a good
1688
01:34:44.970 --> 01:34:48.170
old father. You want to burn this place down? Like,
1689
01:34:48.289 --> 01:34:51.529
what the fuck is going on? It's like, just the
1690
01:34:51.569 --> 01:34:55.489
way that the father acts, he acts like a rich asshole, right? Like, oh,
1691
01:34:55.529 --> 01:34:57.500
look at this fucking dump. I can't believe my fucking
1692
01:34:57.560 --> 01:34:59.779
son's out here. And then he knocks on the door. What,
1693
01:34:59.880 --> 01:35:02.439
nobody's going to answer the goddamn door? And then, not
1694
01:35:02.479 --> 01:35:04.899
just using the knocker, then takes his cane and starts
1695
01:35:05.020 --> 01:35:07.640
rubbing it on the goddamn door so that way that
1696
01:35:07.720 --> 01:35:10.779
maybe somebody's going to notice it? You knocked on the door,
1697
01:35:11.010 --> 01:35:13.750
and it echoed pretty fucking hard, but you think that
1698
01:35:13.770 --> 01:35:18.090
your cane is gonna give you even more, like, noise
1699
01:35:18.470 --> 01:35:21.189
for somebody to be in there? Because you're fucking annoyed
1700
01:35:21.229 --> 01:35:24.520
that your son's not answering the door? Okay, I get it.
1701
01:35:24.779 --> 01:35:29.270
No cell phones, no regular phones, but... There's got to
1702
01:35:29.310 --> 01:35:32.449
be a better way. You know, kicking and screaming, maybe?
1703
01:35:32.770 --> 01:35:35.090
Shouting through the little hole that's there in the door?
1704
01:35:35.250 --> 01:35:38.859
Throwing rocks up at the window? But your cane? Is
1705
01:35:38.880 --> 01:35:41.920
that really going to do anything, old man? But Victor
1706
01:35:41.979 --> 01:35:45.380
eventually opens the door after he does that, so... I guess,
1707
01:35:45.720 --> 01:35:48.090
fuck me, I'm the one that's wrong in that situation,
1708
01:35:48.130 --> 01:35:51.770
and he knew exactly what to do. So, he goes inside,
1709
01:35:51.850 --> 01:35:54.409
goes upstairs, complains that he gotta go up the goddamn
1710
01:35:54.449 --> 01:35:57.539
staircase that's there, and there's no railing, so he's probably
1711
01:35:57.579 --> 01:35:59.800
just gonna fall down the stairs and break his fucking hip.
1712
01:36:00.239 --> 01:36:03.840
But that's here nor there. And eventually Elizabeth does go
1713
01:36:03.859 --> 01:36:06.359
up to the door that's there with Frankenstein and realizes
1714
01:36:06.399 --> 01:36:11.069
that Frankenstein has been basically, you know, he looks really
1715
01:36:11.149 --> 01:36:14.130
tired and he's really exhausted and he reaches out to
1716
01:36:14.170 --> 01:36:17.130
Elizabeth and he just collapses on the ground and she
1717
01:36:17.229 --> 01:36:20.270
runs and gets help from everybody else because he is
1718
01:36:20.350 --> 01:36:22.850
just beat from the experience. Literally.
1719
01:36:22.869 --> 01:36:24.670
Victor!
1720
01:36:24.689 --> 01:36:24.789
Dr.
1721
01:36:24.829 --> 01:36:25.789
Bradman! Come quickly!
1722
01:36:26.869 --> 01:36:28.180
Oh my dear, what have they done.
1723
01:36:28.069 --> 01:36:28.529
To you, Bridget?
1724
01:36:29.130 --> 01:36:32.189
It's all my fault. Get him on the sofa.
1725
01:36:32.310 --> 01:36:37.199
Oh, it's all my fault.
1726
01:36:39.380 --> 01:36:42.300
Thank you.
1727
01:36:43.399 --> 01:36:43.880
Oh, boy.
1728
01:36:43.939 --> 01:36:48.550
You've got to go, Randy. I do.
1729
01:36:48.829 --> 01:36:49.850
Quick, quick, quick, quick.
1730
01:36:49.890 --> 01:36:58.710
Can I do that for you? My boy, now. Now drink.
1731
01:36:59.270 --> 01:36:59.750
Drink this.
1732
01:37:02.689 --> 01:37:03.069
There.
1733
01:37:04.029 --> 01:37:08.659
There, that's better. I'm going to take you home with me, Henry. No,
1734
01:37:08.960 --> 01:37:10.060
I can't. My work.
1735
01:37:10.079 --> 01:37:12.899
What will happen to the records of my experiment?
1736
01:37:12.960 --> 01:37:13.939
We will preserve them.
1737
01:37:14.319 --> 01:37:18.359
And I will see that it is painlessly destroyed. Yes, yes,
1738
01:37:18.439 --> 01:37:19.399
leave it all to me.
1739
01:37:19.760 --> 01:37:20.859
Oh, poor Fritz.
1740
01:37:21.960 --> 01:37:22.619
Oh, my fault.
1741
01:37:22.659 --> 01:37:24.380
There, Henry, you can't do any more now.
1742
01:37:25.079 --> 01:37:26.859
You must come home until you get well again.
1743
01:37:27.880 --> 01:37:29.250
You'll soon feel better when you get.
1744
01:37:29.199 --> 01:37:29.729
Out of here.
1745
01:37:30.369 --> 01:37:34.050
So here's the realization from Frankenstein that he's the cause
1746
01:37:34.090 --> 01:37:36.729
of this and that his monster truly is a monster
1747
01:37:37.090 --> 01:37:40.710
and that what he did, while the experiment is successful
1748
01:37:41.069 --> 01:37:44.420
and it is a scientific breakthrough, he maybe, you know,
1749
01:37:44.779 --> 01:37:46.840
you could say in some ways maybe he shouldn't have
1750
01:37:46.859 --> 01:37:49.539
played God because he didn't really know what he was doing.
1751
01:37:50.000 --> 01:37:53.880
But it's not all entirely his fault. It's kind of
1752
01:37:53.920 --> 01:37:57.140
Fritz's fault, right? Because Fritz went and grabbed the abnormal
1753
01:37:57.180 --> 01:37:59.260
brain when, like I said, he could have just grabbed
1754
01:37:59.279 --> 01:38:01.560
the normal brain off the floor. He could have put
1755
01:38:01.659 --> 01:38:03.939
that one in the jar of the abnormal brain, tossed
1756
01:38:03.979 --> 01:38:08.090
the abnormal brain somewhere. And then Frankenstein might have been like, huh,
1757
01:38:08.609 --> 01:38:10.750
still pretty good. I think I can work with this.
1758
01:38:11.130 --> 01:38:13.050
And then he could have created the monster. But of
1759
01:38:13.130 --> 01:38:15.649
course not. We have to have the abnormal brain that
1760
01:38:15.670 --> 01:38:18.029
goes in there. And that's what really leads on to
1761
01:38:18.050 --> 01:38:21.039
the monster. So, Henry is going to be taken home,
1762
01:38:21.479 --> 01:38:23.079
where he's going to be taken care of by his
1763
01:38:23.140 --> 01:38:25.699
father and Elizabeth, and Volman is going to be the
1764
01:38:25.850 --> 01:38:29.510
one that actually decides to kill the monster. And before
1765
01:38:29.569 --> 01:38:32.970
he actually... you know kills the monster He decides to
1766
01:38:33.270 --> 01:38:36.550
take a look at the monster. Like, it's weird with
1767
01:38:36.590 --> 01:38:38.850
the scene that's here because he goes and he has
1768
01:38:38.869 --> 01:38:41.489
him strapped to a table and he's keeping notes of
1769
01:38:41.529 --> 01:38:43.649
the work that he's doing. And I think the notes
1770
01:38:43.689 --> 01:38:45.840
that he's really doing is he's trying to figure out
1771
01:38:45.949 --> 01:38:48.859
how to kill the monster and he hasn't quite figured
1772
01:38:48.920 --> 01:38:50.779
out how to do that. So the note that you
1773
01:38:50.800 --> 01:38:54.479
can read on the screen is, It says, note increased resistance,
1774
01:38:54.579 --> 01:38:59.460
necessitating stronger and more frequent injections. However, will perform dissection
1775
01:38:59.520 --> 01:39:03.220
at once. So he's going to dissect the monster, therefore
1776
01:39:03.460 --> 01:39:07.630
killing the monster, hopefully. Because whatever the inner workings of
1777
01:39:07.649 --> 01:39:10.810
the monster that Frankenstein has done has allowed it to
1778
01:39:10.930 --> 01:39:13.729
actually stay alive. And one of the things that I
1779
01:39:13.909 --> 01:39:17.449
do like in more modern versions of the tale, which
1780
01:39:17.489 --> 01:39:21.109
you don't need at this time, and even in Guillermo
1781
01:39:21.130 --> 01:39:26.430
del Toro's version, how exactly everything is put together that
1782
01:39:26.550 --> 01:39:31.329
maintains the body and maintains that it is going to
1783
01:39:31.409 --> 01:39:36.439
continuously power itself. Now, we all know that electricity really
1784
01:39:36.520 --> 01:39:39.640
powers our bodies too. As much as you don't think
1785
01:39:39.680 --> 01:39:43.340
about regular type of electricity, but we have electricity flowing
1786
01:39:43.359 --> 01:39:46.899
through our bodies. So how to sustain that is one
1787
01:39:46.930 --> 01:39:50.170
of the ways on how to keep people alive and
1788
01:39:50.210 --> 01:39:53.270
how to keep this body alive. for a quick lesson
1789
01:39:53.390 --> 01:39:57.289
from coming from the cardiac surgery world and coming from
1790
01:39:57.310 --> 01:40:03.310
atrial fibrillation, that is actually caused because our electrical signals
1791
01:40:03.939 --> 01:40:06.979
are going in the opposite direction as the same time
1792
01:40:07.039 --> 01:40:10.659
that the regular signals are, which cause the irregular heartbeats
1793
01:40:10.699 --> 01:40:12.720
and the murmurs that you have in your heart. So
1794
01:40:12.760 --> 01:40:16.350
the idea behind doing an ablation to the tissue of
1795
01:40:16.489 --> 01:40:19.729
your heart is is to create scar tissue that blocks
1796
01:40:19.750 --> 01:40:22.520
those electrical signals and has all the signals in your
1797
01:40:22.560 --> 01:40:26.149
body going the proper way, which is clockwise, right? And
1798
01:40:26.189 --> 01:40:30.989
so the idea of what Frankenstein has done is be
1799
01:40:31.029 --> 01:40:35.340
able to recreate that. And with the electricity from the lightning,
1800
01:40:35.609 --> 01:40:38.060
it ends up shooting into the body. And then that
1801
01:40:38.119 --> 01:40:41.500
body kickstarts that. And that's how it works here. It's
1802
01:40:41.539 --> 01:40:44.699
just more or less like, Hey, it's the light giving rays.
1803
01:40:45.140 --> 01:40:47.760
And that now has made the body come back to life.
1804
01:40:48.159 --> 01:40:51.079
We're in more recent stuff. It's more in line with
1805
01:40:51.159 --> 01:40:54.350
what we medically know, which is, It's kind of cool,
1806
01:40:54.430 --> 01:40:57.149
and I did like that portion a lot of the
1807
01:40:57.210 --> 01:41:01.149
most recent version and telling of Frankenstein. And other things,
1808
01:41:01.170 --> 01:41:03.850
I actually did really enjoy that movie as well, even
1809
01:41:03.899 --> 01:41:05.739
though it was probably a little bit too long in
1810
01:41:05.800 --> 01:41:09.159
tooth for its own good. But nonetheless, so he's writing
1811
01:41:09.199 --> 01:41:11.640
his notes down, he's going to try to do the dissection,
1812
01:41:11.979 --> 01:41:14.800
but of course that's when good old monster wakes up
1813
01:41:15.220 --> 01:41:19.810
and then attacks Valdemand, and ultimately kills Valdman and escapes
1814
01:41:19.989 --> 01:41:24.100
from the windmill and starts his rampage against the people
1815
01:41:24.409 --> 01:41:27.340
down below. It's very good tension that's built in the
1816
01:41:27.380 --> 01:41:30.119
scene as well, because the monster is just laying down
1817
01:41:30.159 --> 01:41:32.840
there on the table, and as Valdman is going over
1818
01:41:32.859 --> 01:41:35.100
there and trying to listen to a heartbeat, all of
1819
01:41:35.159 --> 01:41:38.520
a sudden you see the hand slowly rising below him,
1820
01:41:38.920 --> 01:41:42.479
coming ever so closer to his neck, until ultimately that
1821
01:41:42.619 --> 01:41:45.729
he does grab on him and he chokes, you know,
1822
01:41:46.199 --> 01:41:50.229
basically Valdman to death at that moment, throwing him around
1823
01:41:50.270 --> 01:41:52.930
the room just a little bit. And then it's watching
1824
01:41:52.970 --> 01:41:56.470
the Frankenstein monster walk out of the building and going
1825
01:41:56.630 --> 01:42:01.119
outside and escaping into the regular world. We then sit
1826
01:42:01.159 --> 01:42:05.060
down with Elizabeth and Henry, having a discussion about how
1827
01:42:05.119 --> 01:42:09.159
Henry realizes how happy he is being with Elizabeth, and
1828
01:42:09.239 --> 01:42:11.060
maybe this is what he should have had in the
1829
01:42:11.100 --> 01:42:15.619
first place. He still feels like he's responsible for Fritz, which,
1830
01:42:16.140 --> 01:42:19.270
you know, he is, to some extent. Some extent. There
1831
01:42:19.329 --> 01:42:21.409
is some extent why I'd say it was Fritz's fault
1832
01:42:21.789 --> 01:42:25.310
if Fritz wasn't just constantly antagonizing the monster. I know
1833
01:42:25.350 --> 01:42:28.989
what you guys are going to say. I'm victim-blaming Fritz here, okay?
1834
01:42:29.369 --> 01:42:33.590
I'm not totally victim-blaming Fritz, but actually, no, fuck it.
1835
01:42:33.729 --> 01:42:36.300
I am victim-blaming fucking Fritz. Like, why are you going
1836
01:42:36.319 --> 01:42:38.319
to be whipping that thing? Why are you going to be, like,
1837
01:42:38.380 --> 01:42:41.920
provoking it with fire? That thing is way bigger than you,
1838
01:42:42.079 --> 01:42:44.479
way stronger than you, and you got a goddamn hump
1839
01:42:44.560 --> 01:42:46.699
on your back. You think that you'd actually be able
1840
01:42:46.739 --> 01:42:48.000
to fight against the monster?
1841
01:42:48.020 --> 01:42:48.079
No.
1842
01:42:48.739 --> 01:42:51.189
All it had to do was, like, flick a finger
1843
01:42:51.229 --> 01:42:54.189
and you'd go flying across the fucking room. But instead,
1844
01:42:54.210 --> 01:42:56.970
you think you had some, like, power against it that
1845
01:42:57.010 --> 01:42:59.609
you were just, oh, I'm in control now. Look at me.
1846
01:42:59.649 --> 01:43:02.189
And you're kind of, like, playing with the master's pet.
1847
01:43:02.770 --> 01:43:04.729
and is this the way that you treat like dogs
1848
01:43:04.770 --> 01:43:07.569
and other things too there fritz maybe a dog would
1849
01:43:07.600 --> 01:43:09.939
have eaten your ass before the monster got to it
1850
01:43:10.000 --> 01:43:12.560
if you've been doing the same type of bullshit but
1851
01:43:13.159 --> 01:43:16.920
nonetheless he you know still feel sorry for the fact
1852
01:43:16.979 --> 01:43:19.239
that fritz died even though fritz was kind of a
1853
01:43:19.279 --> 01:43:21.340
dick and an asshole to the monster and if he
1854
01:43:21.359 --> 01:43:23.199
hadn't done it the monster might not have killed him
1855
01:43:23.579 --> 01:43:25.939
if they treated him with kindness and didn't lock him
1856
01:43:25.960 --> 01:43:28.800
in the goddamn basement of the entire time and treat
1857
01:43:28.819 --> 01:43:32.220
him like a monster would he have been better And
1858
01:43:32.460 --> 01:43:35.680
that actually kind of gets answered a little bit in
1859
01:43:35.739 --> 01:43:38.239
a scene that's going to be coming up very, very shortly.
1860
01:43:38.659 --> 01:43:42.640
But nonetheless, Henry is still happy that he's there. He's with,
1861
01:43:42.760 --> 01:43:45.979
you know, his wife to be and that this life
1862
01:43:46.090 --> 01:43:48.569
is actually the life that he wants. And maybe he
1863
01:43:48.710 --> 01:43:51.739
might have almost thrown the whole thing away. And so
1864
01:43:51.800 --> 01:43:54.439
now it goes over to the wedding day, and we
1865
01:43:54.500 --> 01:43:57.600
see that the father there, he's got his traditions, and
1866
01:43:57.640 --> 01:44:00.619
he starts talking with him about what's going on on
1867
01:44:00.810 --> 01:44:04.850
being married in the family of Frankenstein.
1868
01:44:05.210 --> 01:44:09.949
For three generations, these orange blossoms have been worn at
1869
01:44:10.090 --> 01:44:16.199
our weddings. Your great-grandfather wore this, Henry. Looks as good
1870
01:44:16.260 --> 01:44:17.100
as new now.
1871
01:44:17.119 --> 01:44:22.130
Thank you. Here's one to make the best man look
1872
01:44:22.170 --> 01:44:22.750
still better.
1873
01:44:22.770 --> 01:44:23.470
Thank you, sir.
1874
01:44:24.090 --> 01:44:31.029
Thirty years ago, I placed this on your mother's head, Henry. Today,
1875
01:44:31.069 --> 01:44:34.840
you'll make me very happy. By doing the same for Elizabeth.
1876
01:44:35.720 --> 01:44:38.899
And I hope, I hope in 30 years' time, a
1877
01:44:38.939 --> 01:44:43.800
youngster of yours will be carrying on the tradition. Now, now,
1878
01:44:44.079 --> 01:44:45.199
how about a little.
1879
01:44:44.979 --> 01:44:47.270
Drink, eh? Come on.
1880
01:44:47.659 --> 01:44:51.149
My, my grandfather bought this wine and laid it down.
1881
01:44:52.949 --> 01:44:55.090
My grandmother wouldn't let him drink it.
1882
01:44:55.590 --> 01:44:58.449
Oh, bless her heart. Yes, to her very good health.
1883
01:44:58.630 --> 01:45:00.010
Won't you?
1884
01:45:00.050 --> 01:45:00.149
Yes.
1885
01:45:00.680 --> 01:45:02.460
You all full? Yes, come along.
1886
01:45:03.020 --> 01:45:07.140
Here's a health to a son of the House of Frankenstein.
1887
01:45:07.720 --> 01:45:12.479
A son to the House of Frankenstein. Here's a jolly
1888
01:45:12.520 --> 01:45:18.390
good health to young Frankenstein. Young Frankenstein.
1889
01:45:18.670 --> 01:45:23.079
Here, give the servant some champagne. This stuff's wasted on him.
1890
01:45:24.109 --> 01:45:26.340
He's such a dick. in the way that it is.
1891
01:45:26.380 --> 01:45:28.399
And I get it. It's like the barren thing to
1892
01:45:28.439 --> 01:45:32.010
do over here. Oh, give the servants the champagne. They
1893
01:45:32.050 --> 01:45:33.789
can have a little bit of something to drink along
1894
01:45:33.850 --> 01:45:37.710
with us, but give them the champagne because their palate
1895
01:45:37.750 --> 01:45:40.890
is just not good enough to have this wine. He's
1896
01:45:40.930 --> 01:45:42.890
saying that to the butler, which is one of the
1897
01:45:42.930 --> 01:45:45.609
fucking servants. And then the servants all go over there.
1898
01:45:45.670 --> 01:45:49.189
They get the champagne in like, They're the maids of
1899
01:45:49.229 --> 01:45:51.590
the house. They're the ones that have it. And the
1900
01:45:51.649 --> 01:45:55.130
first three maids just take a little sip of everything.
1901
01:45:55.409 --> 01:45:59.210
They toast to the house of Frankenstein. But basically, everybody
1902
01:45:59.270 --> 01:46:02.010
takes a sip. The butler takes a sip. The first
1903
01:46:02.090 --> 01:46:04.869
maid takes a sip. The third maid takes a sip
1904
01:46:05.149 --> 01:46:09.380
and the last maid drinks the whole fucking thing. She
1905
01:46:09.439 --> 01:46:13.079
just downs that motherfucker right down. Just like, you know what?
1906
01:46:13.119 --> 01:46:15.260
If I'm going to have this fucking alcohol, I'm going
1907
01:46:15.300 --> 01:46:17.310
to have the whole fucking thing. I'm going to enjoy
1908
01:46:17.319 --> 01:46:19.449
this fucking champagne because this is the best thing that
1909
01:46:19.470 --> 01:46:21.170
I'm going to get. I'm going to break into the
1910
01:46:21.229 --> 01:46:23.310
goddamn cellar later tonight. I'm going to have that wine.
1911
01:46:23.350 --> 01:46:26.430
I'm going to show Frankenstein exactly how we don't. It's
1912
01:46:26.470 --> 01:46:27.729
going to be wasted on us.
1913
01:46:28.069 --> 01:46:28.720
Bullshit.
1914
01:46:29.159 --> 01:46:32.060
Alcohol is alcohol, motherfucker. I can work like this. I've
1915
01:46:32.079 --> 01:46:35.060
been drunk this entire fucking shift. You don't know me.
1916
01:46:35.359 --> 01:46:38.810
You don't know who I am. Alright, I gotta go
1917
01:46:39.090 --> 01:46:42.350
clean whatever it is I clean or set up or anything.
1918
01:46:42.390 --> 01:46:45.470
But I'll be back for more champagne in your wine,
1919
01:46:45.510 --> 01:46:47.680
you Frankenstein-looking motherfucker.
1920
01:46:47.720 --> 01:46:49.760
I'm an idiot.
1921
01:46:49.779 --> 01:46:49.899
So.
1922
01:46:55.569 --> 01:46:58.010
Now, you know, we're getting ready for the wedding day.
1923
01:46:58.170 --> 01:47:02.130
Everybody is, you know, the house has been decorated. They're
1924
01:47:02.189 --> 01:47:04.609
calling the Baron to go out and talk to the
1925
01:47:04.680 --> 01:47:07.619
people that are out there and getting ready to cheer
1926
01:47:07.680 --> 01:47:09.899
in the town. It's such a big deal because the
1927
01:47:10.039 --> 01:47:13.560
Baron's son is getting married and everybody in the town
1928
01:47:13.619 --> 01:47:15.300
is going to be a part of this great wedding
1929
01:47:15.340 --> 01:47:19.500
and everybody's dancing and dressed in their best lederhosen that's
1930
01:47:19.640 --> 01:47:22.739
out there. And, you know, he's like, huh, I can't
1931
01:47:22.779 --> 01:47:25.710
believe it. You know, these people, these people out there,
1932
01:47:25.729 --> 01:47:30.630
they're so excited by just a couple bottles of beer. Oh,
1933
01:47:30.670 --> 01:47:33.229
they're calling for me. Oh, I guess I better go
1934
01:47:33.329 --> 01:47:35.859
out there and show myself and show how I'm so
1935
01:47:35.899 --> 01:47:39.720
much better than everybody else. Yes, yes, you people out there.
1936
01:47:40.079 --> 01:47:42.760
You love just having a couple bottles of beer because
1937
01:47:42.779 --> 01:47:44.039
that's all you're going to be able to have. You
1938
01:47:44.079 --> 01:47:45.060
want to have some more, you're going to have to
1939
01:47:45.119 --> 01:47:47.409
buy it from me because I am the beer baron
1940
01:47:47.449 --> 01:47:51.050
of this whole goddamn place. But here's hope to more
1941
01:47:51.170 --> 01:47:53.739
fun events to come and you guys paying for it.
1942
01:47:54.050 --> 01:47:58.590
And you guys celebrating me and my rich family of Frankenstein.
1943
01:47:58.949 --> 01:48:01.229
Thank you very much. And the whole town is dancing.
1944
01:48:01.289 --> 01:48:04.189
Like I said, they're in their best lederhosen and weird
1945
01:48:04.229 --> 01:48:08.090
like dresses. Well, it's funny. I do kind of think
1946
01:48:08.149 --> 01:48:11.250
sometimes that those dresses like the Oktoberfest kind of dresses
1947
01:48:11.729 --> 01:48:14.510
can be kind of hot. I mean, that's just the
1948
01:48:14.529 --> 01:48:16.590
way it is. And that's probably the German that flows
1949
01:48:16.670 --> 01:48:19.760
through me. But everybody's all happy and dancing and everything.
1950
01:48:20.140 --> 01:48:22.399
and then we go over to poor Monster, who's now
1951
01:48:22.520 --> 01:48:25.399
wandering the world out there in the woods, and what
1952
01:48:25.420 --> 01:48:28.600
does he come across? Well, he comes across a father
1953
01:48:28.819 --> 01:48:32.699
and his daughter, Maria. And the father, he's got to
1954
01:48:32.720 --> 01:48:34.770
go out into the woods, and he's got to go
1955
01:48:34.819 --> 01:48:37.369
check his traps, because he needs to make sure that
1956
01:48:37.390 --> 01:48:39.789
they have more food, And then they've got, you know,
1957
01:48:40.229 --> 01:48:42.829
more leather and stuff. And she's carrying a cat that
1958
01:48:42.930 --> 01:48:45.829
does not want to be with her. That cat looks
1959
01:48:45.909 --> 01:48:48.949
like it's sickly and half dead and doesn't want to
1960
01:48:48.989 --> 01:48:51.810
be held by her because it's being held upside down.
1961
01:48:52.180 --> 01:48:54.460
It's not being held the right way. And she looks
1962
01:48:54.479 --> 01:48:57.060
like she is choking the shit out of that cat, too.
1963
01:48:57.380 --> 01:49:00.199
This is animal abuse. I'm going to say that Frankenstein
1964
01:49:00.239 --> 01:49:02.439
did the right fucking thing because he saw the way
1965
01:49:02.479 --> 01:49:05.420
the kid... saw the fucking cat, and the cat was
1966
01:49:05.460 --> 01:49:08.710
just crying out for goddamn help. It was being choked
1967
01:49:08.729 --> 01:49:12.250
to fucking death, being held on its back, not being
1968
01:49:12.289 --> 01:49:15.130
allowed to go anywhere, just wanting to leave and do
1969
01:49:15.229 --> 01:49:18.850
fucking cat things, and that little fucking bitch Maria just
1970
01:49:18.890 --> 01:49:22.079
would not allow her to fucking go and be a cat.
1971
01:49:22.460 --> 01:49:24.899
And so, it was right for what Frankie is going
1972
01:49:24.939 --> 01:49:29.619
to do. Not really, but, you know, she still was
1973
01:49:29.680 --> 01:49:33.449
abusing the cat. Like, honestly... that cat was getting choked.
1974
01:49:33.930 --> 01:49:37.689
But so he walks upon Maria, who's there gathering flowers
1975
01:49:37.770 --> 01:49:41.750
because daddy left her alone because daddy probably should have
1976
01:49:41.770 --> 01:49:44.189
taken her with him. I don't know why he'd leave
1977
01:49:44.229 --> 01:49:46.720
her alone and never taught her about stranger danger because
1978
01:49:46.729 --> 01:49:50.300
she reaches up to Frankenstein right away. Oh, who are you?
1979
01:49:50.600 --> 01:49:52.800
You want to come play with me by the river?
1980
01:49:52.819 --> 01:49:55.260
And I'm going to show you where all my flowers are.
1981
01:49:55.359 --> 01:49:59.289
And so she shows him the flowers and Like, oh, look,
1982
01:49:59.590 --> 01:50:02.390
I can make a boat and like fucking like starts
1983
01:50:02.430 --> 01:50:05.890
destroying the flowers that are there, killing the nature, natural
1984
01:50:05.989 --> 01:50:08.670
plant life that's in the area and then throwing the
1985
01:50:08.729 --> 01:50:11.329
tops of the flowers directly into the water, creating these
1986
01:50:11.369 --> 01:50:14.909
little boats and Frankenstein. And this is the most childlike
1987
01:50:14.989 --> 01:50:18.310
that he is. And this scene is great. For that
1988
01:50:18.609 --> 01:50:22.300
not not for what Frankenstein does but here that yeah
1989
01:50:22.340 --> 01:50:24.640
if you treat him with kindness and you have to
1990
01:50:24.680 --> 01:50:27.420
give him some type of understanding because he really doesn't
1991
01:50:27.460 --> 01:50:30.800
know he's just a little kid in the mind right
1992
01:50:30.939 --> 01:50:34.560
he is just barely into this world. Doesn't know exactly
1993
01:50:34.680 --> 01:50:37.909
what he's supposed to do. And, you know, he goes
1994
01:50:37.989 --> 01:50:40.609
and throws the flowers and he runs out of flowers.
1995
01:50:41.069 --> 01:50:43.989
And what does he got to do? Well, he's got
1996
01:50:44.010 --> 01:50:48.069
to originate something that my cousin loves to say all
1997
01:50:48.109 --> 01:50:52.380
the time and believes in full heartedly. She always tells me,
1998
01:50:53.199 --> 01:50:58.159
fuck them kids. And Frankenstein's monster is the originator of
1999
01:50:58.939 --> 01:51:02.750
fuck them kids. Because he wants to have something else
2000
01:51:02.810 --> 01:51:06.409
that floats. And he doesn't have any more flowers. So
2001
01:51:06.470 --> 01:51:10.750
what does he use? He uses Maria and fuck them
2002
01:51:10.829 --> 01:51:15.060
kids and throws her directly into the water. I should
2003
01:51:15.100 --> 01:51:18.699
not be laughing, but I am. And she drowns because
2004
01:51:18.739 --> 01:51:21.060
of it. Because she can't swim. Because her dad's a
2005
01:51:21.079 --> 01:51:23.840
bad dad. Yeah, I'm victim blaming once again. What are
2006
01:51:23.859 --> 01:51:26.670
you going to do? Stop listening? Please don't stop listening.
2007
01:51:27.470 --> 01:51:31.250
But nonetheless. So he freaks out because he realizes that
2008
01:51:31.489 --> 01:51:35.920
he's done something bad. And he runs away, leaving the father, Maria,
2009
01:51:35.939 --> 01:51:39.579
to come back to his dead fucking daughter. And so
2010
01:51:40.479 --> 01:51:43.399
we go back into the town. And everybody's still celebrating
2011
01:51:43.460 --> 01:51:45.899
what's going on. Nobody knows what's up with Maria. And
2012
01:51:45.979 --> 01:51:48.529
Frankenstein is hanging out with all the different party guests.
2013
01:51:48.909 --> 01:51:51.310
And then Elizabeth comes out in her wedding dress, like
2014
01:51:51.350 --> 01:51:54.250
she's not supposed to, and wants to speak directly with
2015
01:51:54.289 --> 01:51:58.489
Frankenstein because she's worried that something is going to happen.
2016
01:51:58.529 --> 01:52:01.869
She has these bad feelings. this premonition of what could
2017
01:52:01.909 --> 01:52:05.289
possibly happen on their wedding day, like it's not supposed
2018
01:52:05.329 --> 01:52:08.869
to be. And that's when we find out that Frankenstein
2019
01:52:09.149 --> 01:52:12.789
has found his father, and the monster is loose in
2020
01:52:12.829 --> 01:52:13.250
the house.
2021
01:52:13.850 --> 01:52:14.310
What is it?
2022
01:52:14.640 --> 01:52:18.420
I'm so glad you're safe. Of course I'm safe. But
2023
01:52:18.439 --> 01:52:19.100
you look worried.
2024
01:52:19.840 --> 01:52:20.560
Is anything wrong?
2025
01:52:21.539 --> 01:52:21.760
No.
2026
01:52:23.319 --> 01:52:26.319
No, forget my foolishness. It was just a mood.
2027
01:52:30.279 --> 01:52:32.140
Henry, I'm afraid.
2028
01:52:33.020 --> 01:52:33.720
Terribly afraid.
2029
01:52:33.739 --> 01:52:35.659
Where's Dr. Valdman?
2030
01:52:35.699 --> 01:52:36.619
Why is he late for the wedding?
2031
01:52:37.100 --> 01:52:39.739
Oh, he's always late. He'll be here soon.
2032
01:52:41.180 --> 01:52:42.199
Something is going to happen.
2033
01:52:42.229 --> 01:52:43.789
I feel it.
2034
01:52:43.810 --> 01:52:46.010
I can't get it out of my mind.
2035
01:52:46.029 --> 01:52:50.569
You're just nervous. All the excitement and preparation.
2036
01:52:51.310 --> 01:52:52.229
No, no.
2037
01:52:53.050 --> 01:52:53.569
It isn't that.
2038
01:52:53.590 --> 01:52:58.029
I felt it all day. Something is coming between us.
2039
01:52:59.210 --> 01:53:02.609
I know it. I know it. Sit down and rest.
2040
01:53:03.390 --> 01:53:04.409
You look so tired.
2041
01:53:06.270 --> 01:53:08.000
I could just do something to save us from it.
2042
01:53:08.010 --> 01:53:09.149
From what, dear?
2043
01:53:09.390 --> 01:53:09.869
From what?
2044
01:53:12.050 --> 01:53:12.569
I don't know.
2045
01:53:12.590 --> 01:53:14.789
If I could just get it out of my mind.
2046
01:53:16.109 --> 01:53:17.760
I'd die if I had to lose you now, Henry.
2047
01:53:17.909 --> 01:53:21.680
Lose me? I'll always be with you. Will you, Henry?
2048
01:53:22.640 --> 01:53:23.180
Are you sure?
2049
01:53:23.199 --> 01:53:25.800
I love you so.
2050
01:53:27.279 --> 01:53:30.439
Sure. How beautiful you look.
2051
01:53:32.720 --> 01:53:32.899
Henry!
2052
01:53:32.960 --> 01:53:33.699
Henry!
2053
01:53:33.939 --> 01:53:34.739
What's that?
2054
01:53:35.800 --> 01:53:36.220
What's that?
2055
01:53:36.960 --> 01:53:37.319
Henry!
2056
01:53:38.000 --> 01:53:38.260
Dr.
2057
01:53:38.279 --> 01:53:38.659
Faltman!
2058
01:53:39.359 --> 01:53:40.319
All about the father!
2059
01:53:41.100 --> 01:53:42.000
Henry, don't leave!
2060
01:53:42.359 --> 01:53:44.140
Don't leave me! No, darling, you stay here.
2061
01:53:44.159 --> 01:53:45.680
Henry!
2062
01:53:46.439 --> 01:53:48.739
Henry! Dr. Faltman's been murdered in the tower.
2063
01:53:49.479 --> 01:53:52.189
The monster. He's been seen in the hills terrorizing the mountainside.
2064
01:53:54.729 --> 01:53:55.329
He's in the house.
2065
01:53:57.289 --> 01:53:57.810
He's upstairs.
2066
01:53:59.569 --> 01:54:02.170
So the monster has arrived and she's worried that something
2067
01:54:02.250 --> 01:54:04.800
else is going to actually be there, right? And that
2068
01:54:04.880 --> 01:54:08.520
something's going to ruin their wedding day. And yeah, something is.
2069
01:54:08.729 --> 01:54:10.210
The monster is going to be the one that ruins
2070
01:54:10.270 --> 01:54:14.390
their wedding day. So in the smartest move ever... Henry
2071
01:54:14.569 --> 01:54:18.970
locks his wife-to-be inside the room. Well, it's kind of smart,
2072
01:54:19.029 --> 01:54:21.050
so that way the monster can't get in that way,
2073
01:54:21.390 --> 01:54:24.310
and that hopefully she's protected. And they start running around
2074
01:54:24.340 --> 01:54:26.000
the house, and it's funny because in one of the
2075
01:54:26.020 --> 01:54:29.420
rooms upstairs, being a baron, he's got a room of hay?
2076
01:54:30.220 --> 01:54:32.479
Why does he have a room of hay? It's got, like,
2077
01:54:32.579 --> 01:54:35.720
just a broom and hay. Is that where you brush
2078
01:54:35.779 --> 01:54:37.699
everything under the rug? Is that what the drunk fucking
2079
01:54:37.739 --> 01:54:40.739
maid has been doing? She just brushes everything into there
2080
01:54:40.800 --> 01:54:44.409
and has been gathering over the years? And so they're
2081
01:54:44.430 --> 01:54:47.130
trying to find the monster. And eventually, though, the monster
2082
01:54:47.229 --> 01:54:50.380
does find one of its targets. And that happens to
2083
01:54:50.420 --> 01:54:53.760
be Elizabeth. It breaks in through like it's walking there
2084
01:54:53.859 --> 01:54:56.359
on the outside. And then it crawls in through the
2085
01:54:56.399 --> 01:55:00.399
window after it opens the window and goes after Elizabeth
2086
01:55:00.800 --> 01:55:05.199
for some reason. It's not really explained why he's going after.
2087
01:55:05.319 --> 01:55:07.729
I think it's meant more just for the horror of
2088
01:55:07.850 --> 01:55:08.850
it in this.
2089
01:55:09.289 --> 01:55:09.510
Right.
2090
01:55:09.609 --> 01:55:14.060
And to have consequences for Frankenstein that's there. But him, like,
2091
01:55:14.399 --> 01:55:18.659
slouching over and slowly approaching her and reaching out, like,
2092
01:55:18.699 --> 01:55:22.279
his arms and her not really paying attention and walking away.
2093
01:55:22.579 --> 01:55:24.739
And then all of a sudden, there it is. And,
2094
01:55:24.899 --> 01:55:31.050
you know, I love it, too, because literally she goes like, ah!
2095
01:55:31.250 --> 01:55:37.550
She screams and he's like, er, er, hey, baby, hey, yeah,
2096
01:55:37.630 --> 01:55:42.329
that's what I really want. Nice tits. You know, it's
2097
01:55:42.350 --> 01:55:45.770
just like the look on his face is really comical
2098
01:55:46.170 --> 01:55:50.090
and it's great, but it's like, hey, I do want that.
2099
01:55:50.649 --> 01:55:53.289
That's exactly what I want. He's not trying to kill her.
2100
01:55:53.689 --> 01:55:57.680
He just wants her. And so she's screaming. They realize
2101
01:55:57.720 --> 01:56:00.539
that the monster is inside of the room and they
2102
01:56:00.579 --> 01:56:02.840
managed to finally get over to the door, open it
2103
01:56:02.960 --> 01:56:06.140
up as the monster is leaving and she's collapsed on
2104
01:56:06.159 --> 01:56:09.060
the bed. Everybody thinks that she's dead, but she's not
2105
01:56:09.140 --> 01:56:13.689
really dead. She's just like been terrified. And so she's
2106
01:56:13.770 --> 01:56:17.149
there and she's just kind of writhing around saying, don't
2107
01:56:17.189 --> 01:56:19.210
let it come near me. Don't let it come near me.
2108
01:56:19.630 --> 01:56:22.510
And as Henry is tending to her, that's when we
2109
01:56:22.550 --> 01:56:27.640
see Maria's father walking through town with the body of
2110
01:56:27.739 --> 01:56:30.859
the drowned Maria. And he is just looking at the
2111
01:56:30.899 --> 01:56:33.760
sky and it's sad. That part is really sad. Just
2112
01:56:33.800 --> 01:56:37.939
the look on his face. It's just like painful. as
2113
01:56:37.979 --> 01:56:41.960
he's just staring and almost like wandering aimlessly throughout the
2114
01:56:42.020 --> 01:56:45.260
town as people are like, who's that? What's that there?
2115
01:56:45.319 --> 01:56:48.000
And the kids that are in the, like waiting on
2116
01:56:48.039 --> 01:56:51.390
the side, they're like, is that Maria? What's Maria doing?
2117
01:56:51.470 --> 01:56:54.409
Is she sleeping? And as everybody's like dancing and all
2118
01:56:54.430 --> 01:56:56.989
of a sudden they stop and they start looking on
2119
01:56:57.149 --> 01:57:00.609
in horror as he's dragging this body through the town,
2120
01:57:00.630 --> 01:57:03.329
not dragging the body, but carrying this body through the town.
2121
01:57:03.810 --> 01:57:07.210
It's really impressive. And it's really well done. And just
2122
01:57:07.250 --> 01:57:11.739
how the town rallies around him. It just breaks your
2123
01:57:11.779 --> 01:57:14.859
heart and what you're seeing and the consequences of what
2124
01:57:15.039 --> 01:57:18.920
Henry Frankenstein has done. And it's kind of that juxtaposition
2125
01:57:18.979 --> 01:57:22.340
between the two of them. That Henry was actually able
2126
01:57:22.399 --> 01:57:26.100
to save Elizabeth and she's still alive. But he still
2127
01:57:26.180 --> 01:57:30.210
caused what happened to Marie. And then he brings them
2128
01:57:30.310 --> 01:57:32.760
over to the Burgermeister or whatever that guy's name is.
2129
01:57:33.189 --> 01:57:35.930
And then explains to them that she's dead. She's murdered.
2130
01:57:35.970 --> 01:57:37.789
Cause he's like, what's the meaning of this? Why do
2131
01:57:37.829 --> 01:57:41.229
you bring this? And he's like, she's drowned. She's been murdered.
2132
01:57:41.670 --> 01:57:44.350
And then he's like, okay, well, you know what? The
2133
01:57:44.390 --> 01:57:47.680
town's a rabble, rabble, rabble, rabble, rabble, rabble. It's like silence.
2134
01:57:48.340 --> 01:57:50.880
Justice will be served. You know? And they're like, you say,
2135
01:57:50.920 --> 01:57:52.899
who is it? Who is it? And from the mob
2136
01:57:52.939 --> 01:57:55.319
that's now starting to form out there in the city,
2137
01:57:55.439 --> 01:57:58.399
we now go over back over to Henry and Victor,
2138
01:57:58.539 --> 01:58:02.579
as they're talking about Elizabeth, and that she's better, but
2139
01:58:02.640 --> 01:58:06.119
she's still just terrified, and the hunt for the monster begins.
2140
01:58:07.050 --> 01:58:08.289
How is Elizabeth now?
2141
01:58:08.310 --> 01:58:09.840
I don't know. She's still in a.
2142
01:58:23.319 --> 01:58:23.720
What do you mean?
2143
01:58:24.020 --> 01:58:26.300
There can be no wedding while this horrible creation of
2144
01:58:26.340 --> 01:58:29.619
mine is still alive. I made him with these hands,
2145
01:58:29.859 --> 01:58:31.430
and with these hands I will destroy him.
2146
01:58:31.970 --> 01:58:33.529
I must find him. I won't.
2147
01:58:33.750 --> 01:58:33.949
No.
2148
01:58:34.409 --> 01:58:35.869
You stay here and look after Elizabeth.
2149
01:58:37.010 --> 01:58:40.529
I leave her in your care, whatever happens. You understand?
2150
01:58:40.560 --> 01:58:42.119
In your care.
2151
01:58:55.050 --> 01:58:58.170
Ludwig, you will search the woods. Those are your group.
2152
01:58:58.569 --> 01:59:02.949
Fire!
2153
01:59:02.989 --> 01:59:03.850
Herr Frankenstein!
2154
01:59:05.100 --> 01:59:06.720
You will take to the mountains.
2155
01:59:07.119 --> 01:59:08.100
Those are your people.
2156
01:59:08.119 --> 01:59:15.060
I will lead the third group by the lake.
2157
01:59:15.470 --> 01:59:19.369
Remember, get him alive if you can, but get him.
2158
01:59:21.869 --> 01:59:25.369
I'll search every ravine, every crevice.
2159
01:59:26.029 --> 01:59:28.140
But the fiend must be found.
2160
01:59:28.270 --> 01:59:30.739
Are you ready?
2161
01:59:32.140 --> 01:59:33.960
I'll light your torches and go.
2162
01:59:35.090 --> 01:59:37.609
So the father of Maria is going to leave one
2163
01:59:37.670 --> 01:59:39.609
strike team and the other strike team is going to
2164
01:59:39.630 --> 01:59:42.609
be led by Frankenstein as they're going to go out
2165
01:59:42.810 --> 01:59:45.310
into the, you know, the wild wanders that are out
2166
01:59:45.350 --> 01:59:49.380
there and actually find the monster and bring it to justice.
2167
01:59:49.720 --> 01:59:52.699
But the townspeople don't know anything about the monster. They're
2168
01:59:52.720 --> 01:59:55.939
just looking for the man that killed Maria where Henry,
2169
01:59:56.239 --> 01:59:59.060
he actually knows what he's looking for. And he's trying
2170
01:59:59.100 --> 02:00:03.390
to find the creation that endangered Elizabeth's life and and
2171
02:00:03.729 --> 02:00:07.569
possibly killed maria as well so the wedding day has
2172
02:00:07.630 --> 02:00:10.970
turned into a monster hunt instead as they grab their
2173
02:00:11.029 --> 02:00:14.270
torches and they go through the town all the men
2174
02:00:14.310 --> 02:00:15.989
of the town as they go out to find the
2175
02:00:16.029 --> 02:00:19.430
monster out in the wilderness as all the women are
2176
02:00:19.529 --> 02:00:22.569
left behind and they're all watching on in terror as
2177
02:00:22.630 --> 02:00:25.680
this mob of men with their torches in a very
2178
02:00:26.100 --> 02:00:29.039
like iconic scene that's there It's one of the first
2179
02:00:29.079 --> 02:00:31.760
times I believe that you see these people rushing through
2180
02:00:32.119 --> 02:00:34.939
with the dogs and all the mob of people, all
2181
02:00:34.960 --> 02:00:37.880
the different torches. It's very, very iconic to this movie
2182
02:00:37.939 --> 02:00:40.399
as well. So they split up and it's basically a
2183
02:00:40.439 --> 02:00:43.119
bunch of scenes we've got here. People in rowboats looking
2184
02:00:43.199 --> 02:00:45.699
around them, going through the mountains, trying to find out
2185
02:00:45.760 --> 02:00:49.390
exactly where the monster is and how they can bring
2186
02:00:49.399 --> 02:00:51.470
him to justice. So eventually they get up into the
2187
02:00:51.529 --> 02:00:55.310
hills and they see the monsters in the distance and
2188
02:00:55.569 --> 02:00:57.710
And the dogs have caught the scent. They find a
2189
02:00:57.750 --> 02:01:01.149
guy that's basically been attacked by the monster laying down
2190
02:01:01.170 --> 02:01:02.939
on the hill. And he points out the way that
2191
02:01:02.979 --> 02:01:06.079
they're supposed to go. And so the mob goes and
2192
02:01:06.100 --> 02:01:09.699
still is searching and searching around these mountainous regions. And
2193
02:01:09.760 --> 02:01:13.069
eventually Frankenstein is separated from the group on his own.
2194
02:01:13.409 --> 02:01:16.399
And he runs into the monster himself. And so they
2195
02:01:16.439 --> 02:01:19.680
have a tussle to where the monster actually overpowers him.
2196
02:01:20.039 --> 02:01:22.319
Like he tries to hold him back once again by
2197
02:01:22.359 --> 02:01:24.979
the torch and the fire, but just the look on
2198
02:01:25.020 --> 02:01:27.560
the face between the two of them, they both look
2199
02:01:27.600 --> 02:01:30.710
like they're angry at each other. And I really like
2200
02:01:30.890 --> 02:01:33.449
when they do these reaction shots in between the two
2201
02:01:33.850 --> 02:01:37.510
where Victor Frankenstein just looks determined, like I am going
2202
02:01:37.550 --> 02:01:39.689
to stop you. And then the monster just kind of
2203
02:01:39.720 --> 02:01:43.029
looks like, huh? You can't stop a thing. You know,
2204
02:01:43.189 --> 02:01:45.800
you may have created me, but I'm the one that's
2205
02:01:45.810 --> 02:01:49.279
going to end you. And it's just like from a distance,
2206
02:01:49.300 --> 02:01:51.800
the look on his face is just more like smirking,
2207
02:01:52.119 --> 02:01:54.720
like he knows he has the upper hand. And it's
2208
02:01:54.779 --> 02:01:57.199
kind of cool. Up close, it's just kind of like
2209
02:01:57.300 --> 02:02:00.699
deadpan look. But from the distance, there is a specific
2210
02:02:00.760 --> 02:02:04.930
look that Karloff is giving that just really fits Karloff.
2211
02:02:05.229 --> 02:02:07.989
Like how the monster has grown and maybe how the
2212
02:02:08.029 --> 02:02:11.270
monster is actually learning the way everything works. And so
2213
02:02:11.890 --> 02:02:15.449
Victor Frankenstein calls for help as he's struggling with the monster.
2214
02:02:15.770 --> 02:02:17.789
But of course, the monster is going to overpower him.
2215
02:02:18.229 --> 02:02:21.390
The mob below does hear the cries from Henry Frankenstein
2216
02:02:21.689 --> 02:02:23.810
and they do decide to go after him where they
2217
02:02:23.850 --> 02:02:26.670
think that he's going to be. The monster, realizing that
2218
02:02:26.770 --> 02:02:30.270
he's going to be outnumbered, knocks the ever-loving shit out
2219
02:02:30.310 --> 02:02:33.489
of Henry and drags him off over to a local
2220
02:02:33.569 --> 02:02:36.829
mill that's nearby. And so they see him in the
2221
02:02:36.869 --> 02:02:40.069
distance as he's climbing up the side of the mountain.
2222
02:02:40.369 --> 02:02:42.909
They release the dogs to go after him, and they
2223
02:02:42.979 --> 02:02:45.579
chase the monster into the windmill that's at the top
2224
02:02:45.720 --> 02:02:48.699
of the mountain. The monster manages to block the door
2225
02:02:48.760 --> 02:02:51.039
so that the villagers can't get in and go after him,
2226
02:02:51.439 --> 02:02:54.340
and takes Henry to the top floor so that way
2227
02:02:54.399 --> 02:02:57.229
he can trap him there and eventually they start having
2228
02:02:57.270 --> 02:03:01.350
it out once again where Henry starts like basically dodging
2229
02:03:01.829 --> 02:03:05.560
the monster realizing that he can't actually fight against him
2230
02:03:05.880 --> 02:03:08.060
and we get another cool shot too because You know,
2231
02:03:08.100 --> 02:03:10.439
the way that the windmills work where they've got the
2232
02:03:10.479 --> 02:03:12.979
different like gear type of things like the wooden gears
2233
02:03:13.020 --> 02:03:16.109
that are there. And we get a reaction shot or
2234
02:03:16.289 --> 02:03:19.750
directly on Henry. And then it goes directly over to
2235
02:03:19.789 --> 02:03:22.590
the monster as the little things are moving by. It's
2236
02:03:22.630 --> 02:03:25.020
hard to explain exactly what it is. But if you
2237
02:03:25.039 --> 02:03:27.680
know the indoor workings of a windmill, like especially an
2238
02:03:27.899 --> 02:03:31.359
old Bavarian style windmill, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
2239
02:03:31.859 --> 02:03:33.520
And so he decides that he's going to try to
2240
02:03:33.600 --> 02:03:36.680
run outside and get away from the monster, but the
2241
02:03:36.760 --> 02:03:40.899
monster chases him out towards the top, and he drags
2242
02:03:40.939 --> 02:03:44.380
him back in, picks his ass up, lifts him over
2243
02:03:44.439 --> 02:03:47.340
his head, and then tosses him off the side of
2244
02:03:47.380 --> 02:03:50.420
the windmill, and he tosses him directly onto one of
2245
02:03:50.470 --> 02:03:55.109
the blades of the windmill that's there, actually saving his life.
2246
02:03:55.590 --> 02:03:59.800
Because he does manage to survive, rather than killing... you know,
2247
02:03:59.859 --> 02:04:02.750
Henry Frankenstein over here. And I love the way that
2248
02:04:02.770 --> 02:04:04.840
he does it because he like, he tries to throw
2249
02:04:04.859 --> 02:04:07.380
them and he, it's just a fucking, you know, It's
2250
02:04:07.420 --> 02:04:10.500
a fake fucking body that's there, but it does land
2251
02:04:10.640 --> 02:04:12.819
on it magically. And then he just kind of falls
2252
02:04:13.000 --> 02:04:15.859
off and he's on the ground and he's injured, but
2253
02:04:15.899 --> 02:04:19.600
he's not dead. And so the villagers decide that they're
2254
02:04:19.640 --> 02:04:22.279
just going to burn the fucking place down. And so
2255
02:04:22.319 --> 02:04:26.180
they light the whole windmill on fire, thus killing the monster,
2256
02:04:26.239 --> 02:04:28.680
because that's the way that they're going to serve justice
2257
02:04:29.000 --> 02:04:32.840
to the murderer of Maria. So the day has been won.
2258
02:04:33.380 --> 02:04:37.359
Frankenstein has survived. So has Elizabeth. and they're going to
2259
02:04:37.399 --> 02:04:40.640
be living a life that's happily ever after, as we
2260
02:04:40.680 --> 02:04:42.960
have the father closing out the end of the movie,
2261
02:04:43.220 --> 02:04:45.420
and I'm surprised, like the last time, he decided to
2262
02:04:45.460 --> 02:04:47.659
go give him fucking brandy to make him feel better,
2263
02:04:48.039 --> 02:04:50.340
when the maids bring over the bottle of the wine,
2264
02:04:50.380 --> 02:04:53.430
because hey, you know what, he's exhausted, and he's been
2265
02:04:53.439 --> 02:04:56.550
through so much, time to just get his fucking ass drunk,
2266
02:04:56.869 --> 02:05:01.130
they bring him wine, but the Baron decides, nah, I'm
2267
02:05:01.170 --> 02:05:04.130
gonna be the one to drink this, and uh, Let's
2268
02:05:04.250 --> 02:05:08.310
leave the two lovebirds alone, as this movie actually has, like,
2269
02:05:08.409 --> 02:05:12.449
an ending score to it, which made me very surprised,
2270
02:05:12.510 --> 02:05:15.489
but it's mostly just saying the end and the Universal
2271
02:05:15.529 --> 02:05:16.489
logo that's there.
2272
02:05:17.729 --> 02:05:27.960
Quiet, quiet.
2273
02:05:31.060 --> 02:05:32.000
Well, go ahead and knock.
2274
02:05:39.840 --> 02:05:44.539
Well, well, well, what's all this? What do you want, eh?
2275
02:05:45.340 --> 02:05:46.039
What's this?
2276
02:05:46.840 --> 02:05:49.619
If you please, Herr Baron, we thought that Mr.
2277
02:05:49.659 --> 02:05:52.390
Henry could do with a glass of his great-grandmother's wine.
2278
02:05:53.930 --> 02:05:55.829
Fine old lady, my grandmother.
2279
02:05:57.810 --> 02:05:59.170
Very foreseeing of her.
2280
02:05:59.189 --> 02:06:12.140
To prevent my grandfather drinking this. Mr. Henry doesn't need this.
2281
02:06:13.359 --> 02:06:18.939
Well, as I said before, I say again, here's to
2282
02:06:18.979 --> 02:06:21.529
a son to the house of Frankenstein.
2283
02:06:21.949 --> 02:06:22.189
Me, sir.
2284
02:06:22.229 --> 02:06:22.789
Me, sir.
2285
02:06:40.710 --> 02:06:40.909
THE END.
2286
02:07:02.109 --> 02:07:06.050
And so that was Frankenstein. And honestly, the death of
2287
02:07:06.130 --> 02:07:10.340
Frankenstein itself is pretty intense because the fire is just
2288
02:07:10.439 --> 02:07:14.819
going everywhere. And then you're watching Boris Karloff, like try
2289
02:07:14.859 --> 02:07:17.720
to struggle and go through the monsters, trying to figure
2290
02:07:17.800 --> 02:07:20.979
out his way. And eventually it starts collapsing on him
2291
02:07:21.020 --> 02:07:23.479
and he collapsed to the ground and fires everywhere. And
2292
02:07:23.520 --> 02:07:26.289
he's just kind of screaming and not knowing what to do.
2293
02:07:26.649 --> 02:07:29.489
And then it's a picture of the windmill just completely
2294
02:07:29.569 --> 02:07:34.050
engulfed in flames and therefore killing the monster. And the
2295
02:07:34.229 --> 02:07:36.180
end too is just like, oh, you know what? He
2296
02:07:36.220 --> 02:07:38.439
doesn't need this shit. I need it more than him.
2297
02:07:39.260 --> 02:07:41.899
Here's to a son of the house of Frankenstein. And
2298
02:07:41.979 --> 02:07:46.560
everybody's like, indeed. And really he gets away with murder
2299
02:07:46.699 --> 02:07:49.979
and creating this and nobody else but Elizabeth and Victor
2300
02:07:50.359 --> 02:07:53.329
know exactly what he's created and that the monster was
2301
02:07:53.529 --> 02:07:56.470
actually his fault. And therefore the death of Maria is
2302
02:07:56.689 --> 02:07:59.909
on his hands, which eventually leads us to the bride
2303
02:07:59.930 --> 02:08:04.260
of Frankenstein, which is a great movie. It is possibly
2304
02:08:04.340 --> 02:08:06.960
one of the best sequels that's ever been created. And
2305
02:08:07.239 --> 02:08:09.829
like I said, one of these days, we'll watch it. So,
2306
02:08:10.369 --> 02:08:14.210
this movie, I love this movie. I love the theming,
2307
02:08:14.470 --> 02:08:17.689
I love the set design, I love the performances, I
2308
02:08:17.930 --> 02:08:21.180
love the story... While yes, it could be more in depth,
2309
02:08:21.260 --> 02:08:23.279
but I have to give it a little bit extra
2310
02:08:23.319 --> 02:08:27.140
here where it is from 1931. The movie is only
2311
02:08:27.180 --> 02:08:29.899
an hour and 10 minutes long. It is not very
2312
02:08:29.960 --> 02:08:32.310
long at all, but it does a lot and it
2313
02:08:32.479 --> 02:08:36.609
moves very, very, very fast in the way that it
2314
02:08:36.729 --> 02:08:39.689
is so fast. In fact, that this podcast is under
2315
02:08:39.789 --> 02:08:43.069
three hours long. Holy crap. And it's just probably over two,
2316
02:08:43.609 --> 02:08:47.729
which is insane, but it, doesn't feel even like an hour.
2317
02:08:47.770 --> 02:08:50.229
It feels like it's like 30 minutes or maybe even
2318
02:08:50.229 --> 02:08:53.449
40 minutes long. It doesn't have any part that seems
2319
02:08:53.489 --> 02:08:56.949
like it drags at all. It's like they took a
2320
02:08:57.010 --> 02:09:00.079
lot of what they learned from making Dracula, even though
2321
02:09:00.119 --> 02:09:04.319
that this one was made directly after and was released
2322
02:09:04.380 --> 02:09:07.600
within the same year and probably didn't take a whole
2323
02:09:07.779 --> 02:09:10.659
lot of time filming. But I do feel like the
2324
02:09:10.720 --> 02:09:14.380
strengths that Dracula had, they learned from And they just
2325
02:09:14.520 --> 02:09:17.100
made a very like the play that they took this
2326
02:09:17.119 --> 02:09:21.109
from was a lot more concise and not as explanatory
2327
02:09:21.149 --> 02:09:24.909
and didn't have so much long diatribe, but got everything
2328
02:09:24.970 --> 02:09:28.270
that it needed to have across with a very simple
2329
02:09:28.350 --> 02:09:31.539
story for what it is. And they didn't need to
2330
02:09:31.579 --> 02:09:35.439
make it even more convoluted than the actual lore of
2331
02:09:35.560 --> 02:09:40.579
this truly is. If you actually go through Mary Shelley's
2332
02:09:40.659 --> 02:09:45.689
Frankenstein and actually dissect that novel itself, it can be
2333
02:09:45.739 --> 02:09:48.829
pretty thick for the most part. But it's a beautiful
2334
02:09:48.869 --> 02:09:52.090
movie and it's done so well. And to be from
2335
02:09:52.090 --> 02:09:57.050
1939 and have such an impact upon the world. And
2336
02:09:57.170 --> 02:10:03.090
to be such a, again, an impactful movie to anybody
2337
02:10:03.170 --> 02:10:08.140
that loves horror, in my personal opinion, it's fantastic. This
2338
02:10:08.180 --> 02:10:11.239
movie is great. So in terms of rating the movie,
2339
02:10:11.939 --> 02:10:13.899
I love this movie. You know, you guys got to
2340
02:10:13.939 --> 02:10:16.739
know that. And so I give, you know, the gore,
2341
02:10:16.760 --> 02:10:18.859
it's a one out of five. It's again, not really gory.
2342
02:10:18.920 --> 02:10:20.720
None of these movies are going to be gory really
2343
02:10:20.800 --> 02:10:22.619
at all. You get it. Watch a couple of people
2344
02:10:22.640 --> 02:10:24.979
get choked out. There's a little bit of blood. That's
2345
02:10:25.039 --> 02:10:28.189
basically it. You could show it to anybody. In terms
2346
02:10:28.229 --> 02:10:30.649
of the crap factor of this movie, I'd give it
2347
02:10:30.710 --> 02:10:34.529
like a two out of five because there are some
2348
02:10:34.569 --> 02:10:36.470
things that kind of need to be explained a little
2349
02:10:36.489 --> 02:10:38.649
bit better. I wish we had a little more Fritz.
2350
02:10:39.090 --> 02:10:41.489
I know that he was torturing him, but why was he?
2351
02:10:41.569 --> 02:10:44.329
I just kind of want to know those things. And
2352
02:10:44.369 --> 02:10:46.470
even though maybe you don't need to know those things
2353
02:10:46.529 --> 02:10:48.789
for this type of movie, it'd be nice to have
2354
02:10:48.949 --> 02:10:51.449
a little bit extra in it just to give us
2355
02:10:51.489 --> 02:10:54.069
a little bit more of The fun factor, it's a
2356
02:10:54.109 --> 02:10:57.229
five out of five. I love the performances. Boris Karloff
2357
02:10:57.369 --> 02:11:00.810
is absolutely excellent as the monster in this movie. You know,
2358
02:11:01.029 --> 02:11:05.699
we have good old Clive over here, Colin Clive. He
2359
02:11:05.760 --> 02:11:10.100
is excellent as Henry Frankenstein. Meg Clark is fine as Elizabeth.
2360
02:11:10.479 --> 02:11:14.220
You know, you've got Edward Van Sloan. He's perfectly fine
2361
02:11:14.279 --> 02:11:17.180
as Valdman. It's not as good as his Van Helsing,
2362
02:11:17.520 --> 02:11:20.260
but I still think it works pretty well. Probably weakest
2363
02:11:20.359 --> 02:11:22.470
links in this movie are going to be John Bowles
2364
02:11:22.510 --> 02:11:27.149
as Victor and Frederick Kerr as Baron Frankenstein. But I
2365
02:11:27.189 --> 02:11:30.609
really don't, he's not like a central member of anything,
2366
02:11:31.029 --> 02:11:33.649
but it's still just kind of like, I could have
2367
02:11:33.670 --> 02:11:37.229
done without the character just in general myself, but it
2368
02:11:37.289 --> 02:11:39.289
works for everything else that works in this film. But
2369
02:11:39.689 --> 02:11:44.569
this film, while I did not rate Dracula a four
2370
02:11:44.760 --> 02:11:47.039
out of five, and there may have been some, you know,
2371
02:11:47.079 --> 02:11:48.460
or a five out of five, and there may have
2372
02:11:48.479 --> 02:11:53.949
been some people that were upset about that. Frankenstein seriously
2373
02:11:54.210 --> 02:11:56.310
is a five out of five.
2374
02:11:56.470 --> 02:11:57.029
Fire!
2375
02:11:57.289 --> 02:11:58.649
Burn!
2376
02:11:59.029 --> 02:12:02.770
Like, it is, it is, to me, one of the
2377
02:12:02.810 --> 02:12:06.029
most perfect films next to The Bride of Frankenstein. It
2378
02:12:06.180 --> 02:12:11.479
is so good and so entertaining and just, it doesn't
2379
02:12:11.520 --> 02:12:16.199
need much to carry itself. And, Even going through it
2380
02:12:16.260 --> 02:12:18.920
a third time and just talking about it, it just
2381
02:12:19.159 --> 02:12:22.500
brings a warmness to my heart. While Dracula means a
2382
02:12:22.539 --> 02:12:26.829
lot to me, primarily because of my grandmother and the
2383
02:12:26.869 --> 02:12:28.930
connection I have a little more to her with that
2384
02:12:28.970 --> 02:12:34.289
movie than this, this is something that just brings everything together. Yes,
2385
02:12:34.329 --> 02:12:37.520
there is a nostalgia factor that's going on with this
2386
02:12:37.619 --> 02:12:42.180
movie with me at the same time, but taking that away...
2387
02:12:42.409 --> 02:12:47.569
And just looking at the classics of horror, it just
2388
02:12:47.869 --> 02:12:52.590
cannot be beat. And I just feel that everything that
2389
02:12:53.170 --> 02:12:57.970
Dracula did and did well, I think Frankenstein did even better.
2390
02:12:58.350 --> 02:13:02.270
And having an antagonist that doesn't say a word yet
2391
02:13:02.350 --> 02:13:05.529
can convey everything within just the emotional face and the
2392
02:13:05.600 --> 02:13:09.050
emotionless face. And that scene with Maria and like how
2393
02:13:09.189 --> 02:13:12.270
giddy he gets in like having fun with her and
2394
02:13:12.310 --> 02:13:15.640
just being childlike and then being so scared when he
2395
02:13:15.720 --> 02:13:18.800
knows he did something wrong. And then the face off
2396
02:13:18.859 --> 02:13:22.500
between him and Henry up there on the mountain where
2397
02:13:22.539 --> 02:13:26.800
he's like, you've created this without saying it. It's it's
2398
02:13:26.899 --> 02:13:32.569
just so good. And for everything, the feelings of tension
2399
02:13:32.649 --> 02:13:36.170
and terror are actually really well done in this film
2400
02:13:36.229 --> 02:13:40.970
as well. And it's just, it is a classic, classic
2401
02:13:41.029 --> 02:13:45.510
film and may have become, you know, I've still got
2402
02:13:45.670 --> 02:13:48.810
three more to watch. But as of right now, if
2403
02:13:48.970 --> 02:13:51.090
I'm going through and I have to kind of rank
2404
02:13:51.270 --> 02:13:55.220
these films, which I think is ultimately outside of The
2405
02:13:55.260 --> 02:13:58.680
Creature from the Black Lagoon because it's my favorite, but
2406
02:13:58.720 --> 02:14:02.079
what I think might be the best out of them,
2407
02:14:02.720 --> 02:14:05.340
out of all the ones that had been made that
2408
02:14:05.600 --> 02:14:08.899
aren't The Bride of Frankenstein, that aren't sequels, I think
2409
02:14:09.000 --> 02:14:13.340
Frankenstein might actually be that one. Now, that might be
2410
02:14:13.420 --> 02:14:17.130
overturned next week because for some people, The next movie
2411
02:14:17.170 --> 02:14:20.090
that we're going to be covering is the best out
2412
02:14:20.130 --> 02:14:24.090
of all of them. And this one also stars Boris
2413
02:14:24.170 --> 02:14:27.560
Karloff here in the lead role, in a speaking role
2414
02:14:27.939 --> 02:14:31.840
in this film. And again, it is a classic for
2415
02:14:31.859 --> 02:14:35.020
a reason. And we're going to be looking at, next week,
2416
02:14:35.600 --> 02:14:36.020
The Mummy.
2417
02:14:48.119 --> 02:14:57.000
Death, eternal punishment for anyone who opens this casket.
2418
02:15:05.430 --> 02:15:10.270
The mummy, is it dead or alive? Human or inhuman?
2419
02:15:10.989 --> 02:15:16.680
You'll know, you'll see. You'll feel the awful, creeping, crawling
2420
02:15:16.800 --> 02:15:19.739
terror that stands your hair on end and brings a
2421
02:15:19.819 --> 02:15:27.510
scream to your lips. There's nothing on earth like the mummy.
2422
02:15:28.270 --> 02:15:31.510
You will not remember what I show you now. And
2423
02:15:31.569 --> 02:15:38.479
yet I shall awaken memories of love and crime and death.
2424
02:15:40.039 --> 02:15:41.880
Now I know his horrible plans.
2425
02:15:43.079 --> 02:15:45.060
He is going to kill her and make her a
2426
02:15:45.060 --> 02:15:46.039
living mummy like himself.
2427
02:16:08.649 --> 02:16:13.229
It's funny because in like the trailer and in the title,
2428
02:16:13.289 --> 02:16:16.090
like the cards that come through the trailer where it's like,
2429
02:16:16.250 --> 02:16:22.149
you know, more interesting than Dracula, more terrifying than Frankenstein,
2430
02:16:22.649 --> 02:16:25.779
more intriguing than the invisible man. And I had a
2431
02:16:25.840 --> 02:16:28.760
doubled back on myself. Like, did this come out after
2432
02:16:28.800 --> 02:16:31.760
the invisible man, but the invisible man actually comes out
2433
02:16:31.979 --> 02:16:36.000
after this. So it's weird to have that in the trailer, uh,
2434
02:16:36.520 --> 02:16:39.659
Because they were probably already planning on doing The Invisible Man,
2435
02:16:40.000 --> 02:16:42.979
but we got The Mummy before then. It's just, it's
2436
02:16:43.059 --> 02:16:45.739
weird to have that in the trailer, yet The Invisible
2437
02:16:45.780 --> 02:16:49.200
Man had not come out just yet. So, we're going
2438
02:16:49.229 --> 02:16:51.389
to be watching The Mummy. I'm looking forward to doing
2439
02:16:51.450 --> 02:16:53.969
this one as well. I mean, I'm looking forward to
2440
02:16:54.010 --> 02:16:56.770
doing all of them, but The Mummy is another movie
2441
02:16:56.930 --> 02:17:00.690
where I just, I can't wait to watch the original
2442
02:17:01.069 --> 02:17:01.729
over again.
2443
02:17:01.750 --> 02:17:01.809
So.
2444
02:17:02.709 --> 02:17:05.450

2446
02:17:08.610 --> 02:17:11.129
I know it's different than all the normal horror slop
2447
02:17:11.149 --> 02:17:13.409
that I do for like Halloween and everything like that.
2448
02:17:13.809 --> 02:17:17.850
But I just really wanted to do these at least once.
2449
02:17:18.379 --> 02:17:20.639
And we've already talked about some classic ones and we
2450
02:17:20.659 --> 02:17:23.040
do classic ones every now and then. but a month
2451
02:17:23.100 --> 02:17:26.159
of classics just feels right. So if you want to

1
00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:12.880
It's time to turn out the light, grab some popcorn,
2
00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:16.620
and watch some horror movies. This is the Terrible Terror Podcast.
3
00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:19.070
Each episode, I delve into the world of horror movies.
4
00:00:19.429 --> 00:00:21.460
Why do I do it? Well, I can't really explain it,
5
00:00:21.530 --> 00:00:24.089
but I love these horrifying flicks. So if you made
6
00:00:24.109 --> 00:00:25.829
your own movie on your phone or made your own
7
00:00:25.870 --> 00:00:29.190
special effects MacGyver style, please send it my way. Now
8
00:00:29.230 --> 00:00:31.210
what do you get when you take the monster who
9
00:00:31.269 --> 00:00:34.890
originated the phrase, fuck them kids, and put them in
10
00:00:34.929 --> 00:00:38.689
a classic movie? Why, you get Frankenstein.
11
00:00:38.710 --> 00:00:40.829
Frankenstein.
12
00:01:08.700 --> 00:01:11.189
Why hello everyone and welcome to a brand new episode
13
00:01:11.219 --> 00:01:15.269
of the Terrible Terror Podcast and we are back still
14
00:01:15.489 --> 00:01:19.950
in the 1930s and we are looking at Frankenstein starring
15
00:01:20.090 --> 00:01:24.569
a certain one Boris Karloff who was not even put
16
00:01:24.750 --> 00:01:27.670
in the credits of this film. When you look at
17
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:31.239
the film you see the monster and Boris Karloff's name
18
00:01:31.620 --> 00:01:36.250
is not present at all. And this is one of
19
00:01:36.310 --> 00:01:40.120
those films where there, there's a couple of interesting things that,
20
00:01:40.219 --> 00:01:43.359
that we had with it. And definitely, I mean, the
21
00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:45.430
reason that this movie even got off the ground was
22
00:01:45.489 --> 00:01:49.530
because Dracula did so well, right? The fact that when,
23
00:01:49.930 --> 00:01:54.709
you know, in, 1930, Universal Studios had lost like $ 2. 2
24
00:01:54.230 --> 00:01:57.859
million in revenues. And within 48 hours of opening at
25
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:01.799
the New York's Roxy Theater on February 12th of 1931,
26
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:07.400
Dracula had sold over 50,000 tickets, building momentum that culminated
27
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:13.169
in $ 700, 000 in profit, the largest of Universal's 1931 releases.
28
00:02:13.590 --> 00:02:17.550
And because of that, that's when Carl Lemieux Jr. announced
29
00:02:17.810 --> 00:02:21.129
that there would be more horror films. And they purchased
30
00:02:21.150 --> 00:02:26.139
the rights to John L. Balderton's, uh, Balderstun's, I'm sorry,
31
00:02:26.500 --> 00:02:33.180
planned stage adaption of Peggy Wibling's British stage adaption of Frankenstein.
32
00:02:33.979 --> 00:02:38.370
It's crazy. So, she did an adaption of an adaption
33
00:02:38.590 --> 00:02:42.729
which became this movie. And so, immediately following the success
34
00:02:42.770 --> 00:02:47.129
of Dracula, funny enough, that Bela Lugosi wanted to play
35
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:50.900
the monster. But originally, when they made the monster, they
36
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:55.490
made him more of a killing machine, less sympathetic, less
37
00:02:55.569 --> 00:02:58.050
childlike like you see him in this movie. This is
38
00:02:58.069 --> 00:03:02.419
still not Mary Shelley's Frankenstein by any means necessary, right?
39
00:03:02.930 --> 00:03:09.080
He doesn't have any speaking lines. He's still kind of... Like,
40
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:13.979
it's that. This is classic Frankenstein. Whenever you think of
41
00:03:14.020 --> 00:03:17.789
Frankenstein and you think about imagery of Frankenstein, this is
42
00:03:17.969 --> 00:03:21.009
what you automatically go to. That's what this is. But
43
00:03:21.509 --> 00:03:24.349
Lugosi didn't want to do that. And he didn't want
44
00:03:24.389 --> 00:03:27.650
to be not what, you know, Karloff ended up playing,
45
00:03:28.069 --> 00:03:30.199
but the original set for what they were going to
46
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:33.139
do and make him just a killing machine. And Lugosi
47
00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:36.439
just had no interest in doing that. And so he said, nope,
48
00:03:36.780 --> 00:03:38.979
I'm not going to do it. And then they try
49
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:40.919
to get a couple of different people and eventually Boris
50
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:44.500
Karloff dies. got the the role and he's iconic as
51
00:03:44.539 --> 00:03:48.409
the monster now funny enough too that legosi ended up
52
00:03:48.490 --> 00:03:52.810
playing frankenstein towards the end of his career in frankenstein
53
00:03:53.030 --> 00:03:56.030
meets the werewolf where he said the only way that
54
00:03:56.050 --> 00:03:57.840
he would play it is if he had speaking lines
55
00:03:58.250 --> 00:04:00.900
they gave him speaking lines in that movie and then
56
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:02.840
they cut all the speaking lines out of the film
57
00:04:03.259 --> 00:04:07.099
and then he plays the frankenstein monster as and i
58
00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:09.539
know i said frankenstein i'm gonna have like you know
59
00:04:10.069 --> 00:04:11.729
things in the back of my head every time I
60
00:04:11.750 --> 00:04:13.550
want to say the monster, I'm not going to fucking
61
00:04:13.650 --> 00:04:16.050
edit it out. So please excuse me if I say
62
00:04:16.110 --> 00:04:21.069
Frankenstein over the goddamn monster, but the monster itself, he
63
00:04:21.110 --> 00:04:23.740
was playing it as blind, right? Even though in that's
64
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:26.879
Frankenstein versus the Wolfman. And that's, you know, how you
65
00:04:26.899 --> 00:04:29.660
end up kind of growing up to realize, Oh, okay. Well,
66
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:31.800
I can just call him fucking Frankenstein. And I won't
67
00:04:31.819 --> 00:04:35.439
even think about these types of things, but in all honesty,
68
00:04:35.620 --> 00:04:38.500
you know, it is the monster. It's not necessarily Frankenstein.
69
00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:42.529
And frankly, What's funny, too, is in this film that
70
00:04:43.069 --> 00:04:46.550
it's Henry Frankenstein, and I believe it's supposed to be
71
00:04:46.790 --> 00:04:49.350
Victor Frankenstein is what it's supposed to be. It's weird
72
00:04:49.370 --> 00:04:53.709
that it's Henry, but hey, that's what it is. And supposedly,
73
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:56.519
as well, going back to Lugosi over here, there was
74
00:04:56.560 --> 00:05:00.120
a 20-minute test reel that starred Bill Lugosi as the monster,
75
00:05:00.620 --> 00:05:03.759
and it was filmed on the Dracula sets, but the
76
00:05:03.779 --> 00:05:07.779
footage has never been seen since 1931, totally considered to
77
00:05:07.819 --> 00:05:13.930
be lost out there. The big scene in the movie
78
00:05:13.970 --> 00:05:17.370
where we're bringing in the Frankenstein monster to life, that
79
00:05:17.709 --> 00:05:21.060
is like the pinnacle of special effects for the time
80
00:05:21.269 --> 00:05:25.399
and actually had a real Tesla coil from Tesla himself
81
00:05:25.860 --> 00:05:30.420
that was used in the film directly. And that scene, again,
82
00:05:30.980 --> 00:05:35.240
there are plenty of iconic moments in this movie from
83
00:05:35.819 --> 00:05:40.079
iconic moments of dialogue, to iconic moments that you see
84
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:43.019
for the first time on the silver screen, and that's
85
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:45.839
definitely one of them. The other thing is that this
86
00:05:45.939 --> 00:05:50.819
was in pre-code era of censorship within it. And so
87
00:05:50.939 --> 00:05:53.139
there's a bunch of stuff that actually did get taken
88
00:05:53.180 --> 00:05:56.540
out of this film that is no longer available to
89
00:05:56.819 --> 00:05:59.620
see in this film. But the two big things that
90
00:05:59.740 --> 00:06:02.519
were taken out of the film that we actually got
91
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:07.100
restored to the film... was the scene with Maria. That
92
00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:09.329
one was taken out because people thought it was too
93
00:06:09.370 --> 00:06:11.930
disturbing to watch. So they didn't want to see what
94
00:06:11.970 --> 00:06:14.560
Frankie was going to do to her or the monster
95
00:06:14.620 --> 00:06:17.509
was going to do to her. And then the scene
96
00:06:17.730 --> 00:06:20.649
after he creates the monster, the monster is given life,
97
00:06:21.110 --> 00:06:24.069
where he talks about like, you know, he's like, this
98
00:06:24.149 --> 00:06:26.689
is what it's like to be God. And people thought
99
00:06:26.709 --> 00:06:29.350
that it was really blasphemous back in the day. And
100
00:06:29.410 --> 00:06:32.769
so that was removed and taken out. Eventually was added
101
00:06:32.829 --> 00:06:36.060
back in after censorships and stuff died down. And I
102
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:38.839
think it was actually in the 80s when the Maria
103
00:06:38.899 --> 00:06:42.240
scene actually was re-added to the movie. So what you
104
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:45.839
see currently nowadays for a long time was thought lost.
105
00:06:46.269 --> 00:06:49.079
and it's no longer lost, which is really cool. But
106
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:51.600
there's a bunch of other stuff that was, like, there
107
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:55.459
are 32 scenes that, you know, well, they requested 32
108
00:06:55.459 --> 00:06:58.550
scenes removed, and it would have cut the film in half,
109
00:06:59.350 --> 00:07:02.949
which is ridiculous. But it did get cut quite a
110
00:07:02.990 --> 00:07:07.389
bit from its 1931 original, and, you know, state censorship
111
00:07:07.410 --> 00:07:11.459
boards in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and New York did it, and
112
00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:13.560
those states are all, like I said, objected to the
113
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:17.199
blasphemous line that occurred with Victor and Henry. And it's
114
00:07:17.259 --> 00:07:21.000
funny that his friend, his best man, is named Victor
115
00:07:21.180 --> 00:07:23.050
where he is named Henry. It's just one of the
116
00:07:23.269 --> 00:07:26.269
few things. In the Irish Free State, the film was
117
00:07:26.310 --> 00:07:31.120
banned on February 5th of 1932 for being demoralizing and
118
00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:35.790
unsuitable for children or nervous people. Age-restricted certificates were not
119
00:07:35.850 --> 00:07:39.310
introduced in the country until 1965, and that decision was
120
00:07:39.389 --> 00:07:41.930
overturned by the appeal board on March 8th, and the
121
00:07:41.970 --> 00:07:46.740
film was actually passed uncut on March 9th there over
122
00:07:46.939 --> 00:07:50.740
in the Irish Free State, which I'm assuming is now Ireland,
123
00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:52.160
and maybe one of these days I'll have to reach
124
00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:55.000
out to Richard and get some more information on that.
125
00:07:55.540 --> 00:07:58.800
But yeah, there was, you know, eventually there was this
126
00:07:58.899 --> 00:08:03.230
production code that happened in 1934 in England, there are
127
00:08:03.649 --> 00:08:06.850
cuts that Universal made from the original camera negative, and
128
00:08:07.269 --> 00:08:11.959
most of the excised footage is now often lost. So
129
00:08:12.699 --> 00:08:16.319
it's interesting for the way that it is. And the
130
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:22.639
film is definitely different than Dracula. I feel that Dracula,
131
00:08:22.819 --> 00:08:26.370
even with its length, is still methodical and relatively slow.
132
00:08:26.889 --> 00:08:29.889
It might be relatively slow for most people, where this
133
00:08:30.389 --> 00:08:34.649
feels faster. And it's about the same length. It's versus
134
00:08:34.710 --> 00:08:37.350
like one hour and 10 minutes for this film versus
135
00:08:37.470 --> 00:08:40.190
one hour and 17 minutes. So it's only seven minutes longer,
136
00:08:40.629 --> 00:08:44.250
but at parts, the OG Dracula does feel like it drags.
137
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:47.639
It's not quite like Bram Stoker's Dracula where parts of
138
00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:50.399
that do feel like they drag forever, but that's a
139
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:52.820
lot more in depth version of the story. trying to
140
00:08:52.860 --> 00:08:55.879
be closer to the actual novel versus what was done
141
00:08:56.269 --> 00:09:01.129
in our old 1931 version. But here, everything feels like
142
00:09:01.190 --> 00:09:04.889
it moves so much faster, even though there is a
143
00:09:05.230 --> 00:09:08.269
lot of dialogue in this movie. It's still a stage
144
00:09:08.330 --> 00:09:12.019
production that is being brought onto film, which is a
145
00:09:12.059 --> 00:09:15.360
lot of what the old, old, old school movies were,
146
00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:18.840
which I talked about last time in the Dracula episode. So,
147
00:09:19.379 --> 00:09:21.639
It's very interesting to see where things go with this.
148
00:09:22.059 --> 00:09:26.049
And how exactly these movies progress. And I think that
149
00:09:26.409 --> 00:09:29.389
the decision to do them in order versus in reverse
150
00:09:29.490 --> 00:09:32.549
order is actually the better decision that I made. It's, hey,
151
00:09:32.710 --> 00:09:35.169
I actually did something that I think is actually good.
152
00:09:35.710 --> 00:09:37.950
So we can actually see the progression of how the
153
00:09:38.009 --> 00:09:42.289
Universal Horror Mills have actually learned from each of the
154
00:09:42.340 --> 00:09:44.220
movies that they've produced.
155
00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:44.659
Right?
156
00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:45.389
And.
157
00:09:45.990 --> 00:09:48.090
There are a couple of things with the film. This
158
00:09:48.129 --> 00:09:50.259
is the very first film to use the Castle Thunder
159
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:52.659
sound effect coming along at the very beginning of the
160
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:54.759
sound era. It was so classic that it remained in
161
00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:58.730
circulation until right into the 21st century and is now
162
00:09:58.909 --> 00:10:02.259
often used more of an homage homage homage what the
163
00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:04.850
fuck is wrong with me to its time frame rather
164
00:10:04.889 --> 00:10:08.769
than something that's unique right that's there the shoes that
165
00:10:08.809 --> 00:10:11.490
were worn by the monster by karloff in this movie
166
00:10:11.529 --> 00:10:14.440
are known as hot asphalt boots They were used by
167
00:10:14.500 --> 00:10:18.840
men to work on hot asphalt roads, and the souls
168
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:22.279
are specifically designed to resist the heat. It took about
169
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:25.340
four hours per day for Karloff to put the makeup
170
00:10:25.419 --> 00:10:28.320
on for the monster in this movie, and it was
171
00:10:28.580 --> 00:10:33.639
supposedly incredibly heavy as it was. You know, we have
172
00:10:34.090 --> 00:10:36.990
a bunch of other returning actors. Well, we have other
173
00:10:37.190 --> 00:10:40.870
favorites that will reoccur in the Universal horror film universe.
174
00:10:42.149 --> 00:10:44.090
And the one that you're going to recognize right away,
175
00:10:44.470 --> 00:10:47.149
of course, is going to be Edward Van Sloan, who
176
00:10:47.190 --> 00:10:51.230
plays Dr. Waldman in this movie. And Dr. Waldman, well,
177
00:10:51.730 --> 00:10:54.710
the actor, he was Van Helsing in the first movie,
178
00:10:54.850 --> 00:10:57.529
he's in this, and he's going to be in, you know,
179
00:10:57.570 --> 00:11:02.500
spoiler alert, our next movie, The Mummy, as well. It's crazy.
180
00:11:02.529 --> 00:11:05.059
You need a doctor-like guy, you're going to go ahead
181
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:08.159
and get Edward Van Sloan. That's exactly who you're going
182
00:11:08.179 --> 00:11:10.059
to get. But we had a couple other people that
183
00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:14.100
ended up being recurring character, well, character actors that were
184
00:11:14.139 --> 00:11:17.080
going to be other ones. Frederick Kerr, he was going to,
185
00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:19.820
he ends up being in a couple of things, as
186
00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:22.919
well as Michael Mark, who plays Maria's father in the movie.
187
00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:24.580
He ends up being in a couple of the films
188
00:11:24.980 --> 00:11:28.559
later on as well. This film has a significant impact
189
00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:31.600
on popular culture, where the imagery of the maniacal mad
190
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:36.610
scientist is, and the Hunchback Assistant, and the film's depiction
191
00:11:36.769 --> 00:11:40.940
of the Frankenstein monster have since become iconic. So those
192
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:43.539
things have kind of all been played off each other
193
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:47.730
and have been... basically spawned from this movie. If Dracula
194
00:11:47.889 --> 00:11:52.970
invented what would become the horror genre, then Frankenstein was
195
00:11:53.029 --> 00:11:56.769
the start of kind of perfecting it and unleashing new
196
00:11:56.970 --> 00:12:01.230
ideas onto the world. These aren't new creatures, they aren't
197
00:12:01.450 --> 00:12:04.529
new stories, but this is a new thing in film
198
00:12:04.669 --> 00:12:09.019
and becoming like pop culture phenomenon and really is what
199
00:12:09.139 --> 00:12:13.139
driving the horror movie forward is. And really getting us
200
00:12:13.299 --> 00:12:17.600
into having a lot more horror movies. So without further ado.
201
00:12:17.860 --> 00:12:21.070
And like I said. One of these days I'm going
202
00:12:21.090 --> 00:12:23.850
to do Bride of Frankenstein. It's just one of those things.
203
00:12:24.210 --> 00:12:26.210
I know I'm going to be skipping over it in
204
00:12:26.250 --> 00:12:29.210
these ones. Because technically after I do The Invisible Man.
205
00:12:29.309 --> 00:12:31.350
I should be doing Bride of Frankenstein. If I want
206
00:12:31.370 --> 00:12:33.879
to do the Universal Horror Movies in a row. But
207
00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:37.080
I just want to do that differently. Because it is
208
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:39.980
a sequel. And we can talk about it at some point.
209
00:12:40.220 --> 00:12:42.419
But I really do want to do that. And maybe
210
00:12:42.440 --> 00:12:45.620
it'll be sometime later this year. Who knows? After we
211
00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:48.629
get through all the classic horror stuff that's there. But
212
00:12:48.710 --> 00:12:51.789
enough of me fucking rambling here and going off and
213
00:12:51.809 --> 00:12:54.210
making this intro longer than it needs to be. There
214
00:12:54.250 --> 00:12:56.529
is a lot of shit. There is a lot of
215
00:12:56.610 --> 00:13:00.850
shit about fucking Frankenstein. that you can go through. And
216
00:13:01.210 --> 00:13:03.889
as much as I want to go through all like,
217
00:13:04.210 --> 00:13:06.950
you know, a hundred different things that we've got here
218
00:13:07.549 --> 00:13:11.350
and you know, that it's technically, these aren't horror movies.
219
00:13:11.370 --> 00:13:15.460
This horror wasn't used until 1934, but really these are
220
00:13:15.500 --> 00:13:18.580
fucking horror movies that are there. But who, who really
221
00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:22.240
gives a shit about that stuff? But anyway, so remember
222
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:24.620
how last time I said on Dracula, there was an
223
00:13:24.700 --> 00:13:26.379
intro that's been lost to time.
224
00:13:26.899 --> 00:13:27.100
Right.
225
00:13:27.220 --> 00:13:30.159
It was cut and it's never been restored. It's a
226
00:13:30.179 --> 00:13:35.179
lost piece of film. Well, current versions of Frankenstein actually
227
00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:38.830
have that type of intro here. So to start the film,
228
00:13:38.850 --> 00:13:42.169
we're going to get an introduction directly to the film
229
00:13:42.429 --> 00:13:44.289
and the story of Frankenstein.
230
00:13:44.850 --> 00:13:45.370
How do you do?
231
00:13:49.289 --> 00:13:49.549
Mr.
232
00:13:49.610 --> 00:13:52.049
Carl Emily feels it would be a little unkind to
233
00:13:52.070 --> 00:13:54.870
present this picture without just a word of friendly warning.
234
00:13:56.519 --> 00:14:00.440
We are about to unfold the story of Frankenstein, a
235
00:14:00.500 --> 00:14:04.480
man of science who sought to create a man after
236
00:14:04.539 --> 00:14:10.480
his own image, without reckoning upon God. It is one
237
00:14:10.500 --> 00:14:14.850
of the strangest tales ever told. It deals with the
238
00:14:14.950 --> 00:14:21.509
two great mysteries of creation, life and death. I think
239
00:14:21.549 --> 00:14:26.299
it will thrill you. It may shock you. It might
240
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:30.529
even horrify you. So if any of you feel that
241
00:14:30.549 --> 00:14:32.409
you do not care to subject your nerves to such
242
00:14:32.450 --> 00:14:35.389
a strain, now is your chance to.
243
00:14:36.669 --> 00:14:38.769
Well, we warned you.
244
00:14:39.590 --> 00:14:43.889
Well, we warned you. Like, it's cool. I really like
245
00:14:44.149 --> 00:14:46.539
having this at the beginning of this film. I don't
246
00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:50.960
know why. Because this feels really old-timey. But this feels
247
00:14:51.379 --> 00:14:56.769
like those old, like, castle films, right? that those ones
248
00:14:56.850 --> 00:14:59.950
where you, you had these, the guy come out and
249
00:15:00.009 --> 00:15:02.389
explain how you're going to be scared to death and
250
00:15:02.750 --> 00:15:04.769
you better not, you know, if you need to leave
251
00:15:04.850 --> 00:15:07.159
or you need to have somebody, we've got somebody here
252
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:09.779
in the audience for you, but it's just fucking cool.
253
00:15:09.899 --> 00:15:12.000
I don't know what it is when old movies have this,
254
00:15:12.379 --> 00:15:14.899
if this had this nowadays, actually, I probably would think
255
00:15:14.919 --> 00:15:18.200
would be really fucking cool. If somebody really went back and,
256
00:15:18.549 --> 00:15:22.389
and did this old school horror thing before their movies.
257
00:15:22.470 --> 00:15:25.110
Like if we had, let's just take Resident Evil, however
258
00:15:25.129 --> 00:15:28.259
you feel about that film, whatever. But if Craig came
259
00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:32.220
out and he, before he's like, you know, you guys,
260
00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:35.139
this might be something that's going to scare the living
261
00:15:35.259 --> 00:15:38.070
shit out of you. And, you know, we're going to
262
00:15:38.110 --> 00:15:41.009
warn you, if you can't quite take it, maybe you
263
00:15:41.029 --> 00:15:44.269
should just leave the theater. But for those with, you know,
264
00:15:44.909 --> 00:15:48.929
Not so weak of hearts. Here is Resident Evil. Like
265
00:15:48.970 --> 00:15:51.429
that type of shit. Like that would just be fucking cool.
266
00:15:51.450 --> 00:15:54.929
Like I like these types of maybe gimmicky feeling things.
267
00:15:55.470 --> 00:15:58.580
But to me it's not really that gimmicky. It just
268
00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:02.740
adds into the flavor of the movie itself. And here
269
00:16:02.980 --> 00:16:06.919
with Frankenstein in general. And with I think this genre
270
00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:09.720
that is building. Because like I said horror wasn't really
271
00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:13.110
considered to be a movie genre until 34. And so
272
00:16:13.610 --> 00:16:17.110
you have this genre building itself here with these movies,
273
00:16:17.590 --> 00:16:21.029
and while audiences don't exactly know what to expect, they
274
00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:23.360
just think that it's a movie that's a drama or
275
00:16:23.419 --> 00:16:26.440
whatever it's going to be, and that, you know, they
276
00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:29.039
feel that, hey, maybe this is going to be too
277
00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:32.919
scary for you. Now, for us modern audiences, this is
278
00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:37.629
not scary at all. It is remotely not scary. But again...
279
00:16:37.779 --> 00:16:40.009
You have to think in the mindset of an audience
280
00:16:40.049 --> 00:16:43.690
of 1931 that's never seen anything like this. The talkies
281
00:16:43.730 --> 00:16:46.190
were just started a couple years prior to it or
282
00:16:46.250 --> 00:16:49.529
even a year prior to this. So you're getting these
283
00:16:49.669 --> 00:16:54.049
films that are dealing with subjects that have never really
284
00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:57.759
been shown on the screen. You've had old school ones.
285
00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:00.039
There is a Frankenstein from way back in the day
286
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:04.019
prior to this film. But nothing that gives you, in
287
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:08.230
my opinion personally... the emotion that these films and that
288
00:17:08.630 --> 00:17:13.299
pictures with, you know, The talkies, basically, is the way
289
00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:15.059
that I'm going to have to say it. That the
290
00:17:15.099 --> 00:17:19.779
talkies can provide an audience. While examples like Nosferatu or
291
00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:22.859
Phantom of the Opera can do that for an audience
292
00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:26.750
with the way that things look and how shadows are
293
00:17:26.910 --> 00:17:29.430
used in the film and how the music accompanies it,
294
00:17:29.849 --> 00:17:32.430
you have to also imagine, again, just like with Dracula,
295
00:17:32.750 --> 00:17:35.430
there really isn't a score to this movie that goes
296
00:17:35.589 --> 00:17:38.670
on during the background like we're used to nowadays. Because
297
00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:42.779
that would confuse audiences that grew up watching silent pictures,
298
00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:45.420
that it had scores in them. And so you have
299
00:17:45.460 --> 00:17:49.380
to go through these films with... There has to be
300
00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:52.859
a level of understanding... It's so hard for me to
301
00:17:52.900 --> 00:17:55.299
be like, I feel like I'm defending these films when
302
00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:57.900
I don't really have to defend anything at all with
303
00:17:57.920 --> 00:17:58.619
these movies.
304
00:17:59.119 --> 00:17:59.329
Right.
305
00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:03.529
They're classics. That's what they are. But modern audiences or
306
00:18:03.630 --> 00:18:06.390
those that have never, ever seen a movie like this
307
00:18:06.450 --> 00:18:09.349
before may look at it and be like, I can't
308
00:18:09.390 --> 00:18:10.890
believe you like that type of thing.
309
00:18:11.390 --> 00:18:11.970
Oh, like.
310
00:18:12.349 --> 00:18:15.710
Not everybody is going to be that way. And aficionados
311
00:18:15.869 --> 00:18:17.809
aren't going to be that way. Cause you always want
312
00:18:17.829 --> 00:18:20.309
to see where you came from, right? History is a
313
00:18:20.349 --> 00:18:22.589
thing because you want to learn from your past mistakes,
314
00:18:22.910 --> 00:18:24.829
but you also want to learn what people did right
315
00:18:24.910 --> 00:18:28.099
so that you can do it right today. And these
316
00:18:28.259 --> 00:18:31.539
are films, in my opinion, that do it right. And
317
00:18:31.579 --> 00:18:34.279
that really set up the mood. And I think that
318
00:18:34.460 --> 00:18:39.039
with this film, like with Dracula, it was more about
319
00:18:39.140 --> 00:18:42.200
the character actors, right? In those films. I'm not going
320
00:18:42.220 --> 00:18:44.769
to diminish any of the actors that are in this movie.
321
00:18:45.180 --> 00:18:48.130
I think that everybody does actually a relatively good job.
322
00:18:48.529 --> 00:18:50.009
But there are a couple things that are going to
323
00:18:50.049 --> 00:18:52.289
be missing in this film. Some of the humor from
324
00:18:52.329 --> 00:18:56.089
Dracula is completely gone in this. To me, personally. There
325
00:18:56.230 --> 00:19:00.769
is kind of comedic relief. With Frankenstein's father. But it's
326
00:19:00.950 --> 00:19:04.670
more like common sense. Or like sign of the times.
327
00:19:04.769 --> 00:19:08.369
Type of comedic relief. And not necessarily something. That was
328
00:19:08.470 --> 00:19:12.299
done specifically for the comedy. Where I feel like Martin.
329
00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:16.039
In the last movie was done. For the comedy in particular.
330
00:19:16.380 --> 00:19:21.160
To like lighten the mood. But whereas with Dracula. I
331
00:19:21.259 --> 00:19:25.890
felt that it was the actors. Especially Lugosi. That made
332
00:19:25.950 --> 00:19:30.579
you fearful. Of what was going on. Whereas this, this
333
00:19:30.690 --> 00:19:35.819
is truly like the gothic look and feel. And it
334
00:19:35.940 --> 00:19:39.759
is not necessarily the actors that really get you into
335
00:19:39.799 --> 00:19:43.240
the frights. Even though the monster is scary and this
336
00:19:43.309 --> 00:19:46.150
movie would have been scary for the time, right? But
337
00:19:46.230 --> 00:19:48.789
I really think it's the setting and the way the
338
00:19:48.950 --> 00:19:51.980
sets are. and the way the atmosphere in this movie,
339
00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:56.980
it carries a lot more weight than Dracula does. And
340
00:19:57.299 --> 00:20:00.700
that's part of the reason why I really love this
341
00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:03.980
movie because I love the aesthetic of this movie. I
342
00:20:04.019 --> 00:20:09.930
think that the set design is phenomenal. This feels a little...
343
00:20:10.380 --> 00:20:14.720
less like a play than Dracula does where, but there
344
00:20:14.829 --> 00:20:18.950
are moments where it feels more like a play. Like
345
00:20:19.049 --> 00:20:22.890
it's weird to say that like the opening scene, for example, not,
346
00:20:22.970 --> 00:20:25.250
not our dude talking to us, but while they're in
347
00:20:25.269 --> 00:20:27.450
the graveyard, right. And then the opening scene of this
348
00:20:27.529 --> 00:20:30.930
movie are, you know, people they're at a funeral, they're
349
00:20:30.950 --> 00:20:34.140
burying the guy into the ground. There's the priest, everybody's crying,
350
00:20:34.519 --> 00:20:38.509
but it's just, it's dark. It's dreary. It's, it is
351
00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:41.009
very somber in the way that it is and seeing
352
00:20:41.049 --> 00:20:44.460
the priests out there and everybody just kind of hanging
353
00:20:44.500 --> 00:20:46.890
their heads and But then you look into the background
354
00:20:46.930 --> 00:20:49.809
and there's a skull statue that just happens to be
355
00:20:49.890 --> 00:20:53.119
back there with these trees that are just barren of
356
00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:56.660
any type of leaves. The set does a lot and
357
00:20:56.720 --> 00:20:59.700
it brings you into the movie. And then you see
358
00:20:59.900 --> 00:21:04.130
Fritz and Henry Frankenstein like behind the gate just slowly
359
00:21:04.210 --> 00:21:07.009
pop out. And you're just kind of like, what the
360
00:21:07.049 --> 00:21:09.549
hell is going on? And if this is your first time,
361
00:21:09.910 --> 00:21:12.279
it's funny too, because it almost looks like it's straight
362
00:21:12.460 --> 00:21:14.799
out of the fucking haunted mansion in the way that
363
00:21:14.819 --> 00:21:18.009
some of the animatronics like slowly pop up over the graves,
364
00:21:18.369 --> 00:21:22.390
but that's what they do. That's what's happening here. And,
365
00:21:23.049 --> 00:21:26.269
It's a cool little revelation. It's a cool little spot
366
00:21:26.329 --> 00:21:29.490
check just for this. As there's people crying and the
367
00:21:29.630 --> 00:21:33.690
bells are tolling in the background. It's just a good setup.
368
00:21:34.170 --> 00:21:38.170
And it's so perfectly macabre and creepy that I could
369
00:21:38.230 --> 00:21:41.130
imagine why somebody would be kind of freaked out by
370
00:21:41.190 --> 00:21:46.410
what's going on here. So the funeral commences and everybody's
371
00:21:46.470 --> 00:21:49.750
leaving the site. Leaving only the grave diggers to dig
372
00:21:49.829 --> 00:21:54.940
up the grave. put dirt on the coffin. As we
373
00:21:55.019 --> 00:21:58.660
also see, I forgot what exactly he's called, but it's
374
00:21:58.740 --> 00:22:01.349
like kind of the mayor of the town. This takes
375
00:22:01.410 --> 00:22:04.359
place up in Bavaria, and it looks like I think
376
00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:06.880
it's just a gravedigger. He kind of looks like the
377
00:22:06.900 --> 00:22:08.829
mayor of the town. I don't think he actually is,
378
00:22:09.220 --> 00:22:11.990
but he has a specific name. And he starts shoveling
379
00:22:12.069 --> 00:22:15.390
dirt there on the body that's on the ground. So
380
00:22:15.509 --> 00:22:18.569
as he finishes covering the grave with dirt, he grabs
381
00:22:18.609 --> 00:22:21.940
his hat, grabs his smokes, and just leaves the scene.
382
00:22:22.339 --> 00:22:26.460
And that brings up Fritz, who happens to be our hunchback, right?
383
00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:30.519
Who you might call Igor, or in some cases, Igor.
384
00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:33.609
You know, just to make sure that everything is... proper
385
00:22:33.630 --> 00:22:37.369
and properly pronounced in this and you know he walks
386
00:22:37.549 --> 00:22:41.369
off and here comes frank and well frankie can i
387
00:22:41.390 --> 00:22:44.210
call him frankie should i call him henry what should
388
00:22:44.230 --> 00:22:46.339
i call him but they start digging up the body
389
00:22:46.420 --> 00:22:48.319
so that they can get him outside of the grave
390
00:22:48.700 --> 00:22:51.819
because that's the one body that frankenstein wants to use
391
00:22:51.859 --> 00:22:53.640
for his experiments the.
392
00:22:53.599 --> 00:22:58.829
Moon's rising we've no time to lose careful.
393
00:23:06.990 --> 00:23:07.920
Here he comes.
394
00:23:18.230 --> 00:23:20.950
He's just resting, waiting for a new life to come.
395
00:23:45.349 --> 00:23:45.869
Here we are.
396
00:23:53.440 --> 00:23:53.819
Look.
397
00:23:54.759 --> 00:23:56.119
It's still here.
398
00:23:59.220 --> 00:24:00.279
Climb up and cut the rope.
399
00:24:01.839 --> 00:24:02.480
No.
400
00:24:02.789 --> 00:24:03.220
Go on.
401
00:24:03.289 --> 00:24:34.089
It can't hurt you. Here's the knife. Look out. Here's
402
00:24:34.109 --> 00:24:34.569
the knife.
403
00:24:36.029 --> 00:24:36.710
Here I come.
404
00:24:41.589 --> 00:24:46.529
Is it all right? The neck's broken. The brain is useless.
405
00:24:48.109 --> 00:24:49.710
We must find another brain.
406
00:24:50.920 --> 00:24:52.200
Oh, where are you going to find another brain at
407
00:24:52.220 --> 00:24:54.599
this time of the hour? I mean, it's already two
408
00:24:54.640 --> 00:24:57.269
o'clock in the morning on a Thursday. You think that
409
00:24:57.289 --> 00:25:00.910
there's going to be a readily available brain for anybody
410
00:25:01.009 --> 00:25:03.930
else that's out there? Where could you possibly get one
411
00:25:04.269 --> 00:25:07.130
at this time of year, at this time of night,
412
00:25:07.529 --> 00:25:11.220
at this day in this climate out here in Bavaria?
413
00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:14.960
I mean, there couldn't possibly any place like the Goldstadt
414
00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:18.059
Medical College that you could go and steal a brain from.
415
00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:21.869
I mean, come on. that's not a place where you
416
00:25:21.890 --> 00:25:24.950
could actually go get a brain, is it? But I
417
00:25:25.009 --> 00:25:27.009
do like the way that this scene plays out. I'm
418
00:25:27.029 --> 00:25:28.730
going to like a lot of things in this movie,
419
00:25:28.769 --> 00:25:30.259
and I'm probably going to like a lot of things
420
00:25:30.339 --> 00:25:34.359
over this whole course of doing these movies. There's probably
421
00:25:34.490 --> 00:25:36.819
one of these that I'm not the biggest fan of,
422
00:25:36.960 --> 00:25:39.259
but we're going to see how it plays out when
423
00:25:39.299 --> 00:25:41.319
we get into the movie, when we begin to talk
424
00:25:41.380 --> 00:25:46.000
about it. But with this one, yeah, it's spoiled. Here
425
00:25:46.059 --> 00:25:47.940
I am. I'm a fucking fan of this movie. What
426
00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:52.359
can I fucking say? But Nonetheless, it's just a good
427
00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:54.960
setup of them going in there and how they're going
428
00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:57.769
to get it. And you get a feeling for Frankenstein here.
429
00:25:57.789 --> 00:26:01.609
And just it's not just the dialogue that's being put
430
00:26:01.710 --> 00:26:06.549
forth here. It's Colin Clive playing Frankenstein very, very well
431
00:26:06.990 --> 00:26:10.279
in this film. Without him, I don't think it makes
432
00:26:10.319 --> 00:26:11.200
it as compelling.
433
00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:11.839
Right.
434
00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:15.829
He's not. It's not as good as, like I said,
435
00:26:15.869 --> 00:26:19.490
some of the performances over there in Dracula I think
436
00:26:19.569 --> 00:26:21.880
are top notch. And we get to have one of
437
00:26:21.910 --> 00:26:24.599
those actors back over here again. But I even think
438
00:26:24.720 --> 00:26:27.880
then his performance is better in Dracula than it is
439
00:26:27.940 --> 00:26:31.400
in this movie. Still really good. It's just not exactly
440
00:26:31.619 --> 00:26:35.440
what I would have... It feels like kind of the same.
441
00:26:35.880 --> 00:26:39.480
And you'll get that as we introduce Walden and everything
442
00:26:39.519 --> 00:26:40.680
like that into the film.
443
00:26:41.220 --> 00:26:41.359
But.
444
00:26:42.079 --> 00:26:47.680
Here, Colin Clive really does an excellent job. And a
445
00:26:47.819 --> 00:26:50.119
lot of it is not necessarily, like I said, with
446
00:26:50.140 --> 00:26:52.799
the delivery of the lines. It is actually with his
447
00:26:52.900 --> 00:26:55.680
facial expressions. Like how he gets in there and like
448
00:26:55.900 --> 00:27:00.019
how giddy he seems to have the body that he wants.
449
00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:03.220
That everybody's gone. And even when he looks over the
450
00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:06.559
grave for the first time, it's almost with delight. And
451
00:27:06.839 --> 00:27:09.039
he's trying to hide, you know, make sure he doesn't
452
00:27:09.079 --> 00:27:11.720
get seen. But he's just like, oh, yes, the body
453
00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:14.259
is just being buried. I'm going to get that. And
454
00:27:14.299 --> 00:27:17.519
that's exactly what I want. That's the type of like
455
00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:19.920
feeling that you get from the actor. And even when
456
00:27:19.940 --> 00:27:22.480
he pulls it up and he's tired because he's been,
457
00:27:22.660 --> 00:27:24.859
you know, he's been digging up the grave once again
458
00:27:24.880 --> 00:27:28.619
with there with Fritz and even Fritz, his facial expressions,
459
00:27:29.269 --> 00:27:31.329
you know, that are going on in the little scene
460
00:27:31.390 --> 00:27:34.789
that's there. And that happens to be Dwight Frye, who
461
00:27:34.829 --> 00:27:38.880
plays Fritz in this movie. And like how he just
462
00:27:39.109 --> 00:27:43.710
seems to want his masters, you know, I would say affection,
463
00:27:43.809 --> 00:27:46.569
but acknowledgement in the way that he's doing things like
464
00:27:46.589 --> 00:27:48.630
how it was. Oh, I'm doing a good job. Am
465
00:27:48.710 --> 00:27:50.890
I doing a great job? Like that's the look on
466
00:27:50.930 --> 00:27:54.559
his face that he has there. And it's one of
467
00:27:54.599 --> 00:27:58.420
the few things that I thought that Frankenstein movie with
468
00:27:59.019 --> 00:28:01.859
what's his face? What's his nuts? You know, Harry Potter,
469
00:28:02.279 --> 00:28:04.680
Daniel Radcliffe. There we go. I knew I would remember
470
00:28:04.740 --> 00:28:08.710
the name. And then James McAvoy, who played Frankenstein, was
471
00:28:08.730 --> 00:28:10.910
the relationship between the two of them. I thought that
472
00:28:10.950 --> 00:28:13.259
was one of the best things about that movie in general.
473
00:28:13.670 --> 00:28:17.279
And it's just kind of funny here that while the
474
00:28:17.299 --> 00:28:21.839
relationship necessarily isn't that strong, like it isn't that in-depth
475
00:28:21.900 --> 00:28:26.599
in this, I think the relationship of Fritz to Frankenstein,
476
00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:29.240
Frankenstein kind of treats Fritz like shit.
477
00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:29.920
Right?
478
00:28:30.059 --> 00:28:31.900
Just in general. Just kind of bossing him around, even
479
00:28:31.920 --> 00:28:33.920
though they don't go over there. Oh, here, take the knife.
480
00:28:33.980 --> 00:28:36.329
Go cut that man down. Oh, but it's a little too... No,
481
00:28:36.349 --> 00:28:39.670
what are you fucking afraid of? Guy's fucking dead. Look, here, watch.
482
00:28:39.890 --> 00:28:41.910
I'm going to fucking wiggle his little toe. He's not
483
00:28:41.970 --> 00:28:43.650
fucking doing anything. He's not going to come to life
484
00:28:43.710 --> 00:28:47.529
and get you. Well, I mean, if my thing's successful,
485
00:28:47.589 --> 00:28:49.930
then I can always bring him back to life. and
486
00:28:49.970 --> 00:28:52.779
then he could, like, chase you around and possibly stalk you,
487
00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:53.990
but that's not gonna happen here.
488
00:28:54.470 --> 00:28:55.059
No, no, no, no.
489
00:28:55.099 --> 00:28:57.799
You don't have to worry about that right now. Okay? Fritz,
490
00:28:58.079 --> 00:29:00.559
go do your fucking job, go up there, cut the
491
00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:02.240
guy down, and let me see if I can use
492
00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:05.200
this body. To which they can't, because the neck's broken,
493
00:29:05.240 --> 00:29:07.619
which means the brain is fucking dead. Or at least
494
00:29:07.660 --> 00:29:10.799
the brain is not usable in the state that it's in,
495
00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:13.289
because all the circulation got cut up to the brain
496
00:29:13.589 --> 00:29:16.390
and possibly caused brain damage, and he needs to have
497
00:29:16.430 --> 00:29:17.589
an actual good brain.
498
00:29:18.029 --> 00:29:18.150
So.
499
00:29:18.650 --> 00:29:21.170
That's when we cut over to the Goldstadt Medical... Oh
500
00:29:21.190 --> 00:29:25.839
my god, the Goldstadt Medical College is nearby? Holy shit. Like,
501
00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:30.019
is that... Are they actually doing classes or something like that? Oh,
502
00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:33.299
I guess they are doing classes. And they're busy talking
503
00:29:33.339 --> 00:29:35.390
about bodies there. And this is where we get to
504
00:29:35.450 --> 00:29:38.890
meet Dr. Waldman, who talks about the two brains that
505
00:29:38.930 --> 00:29:41.109
he has in front of him... in front of his class.
506
00:29:41.650 --> 00:29:45.579
And in conclusion, ladies and gentlemen, here we have one
507
00:29:45.599 --> 00:29:47.519
of the most perfect specimens.
508
00:29:47.079 --> 00:29:49.279
Of the human brain that has ever come to my
509
00:29:49.319 --> 00:29:52.500
attention at the university. And here the abnormal brain of
510
00:29:52.539 --> 00:29:57.259
the typical criminal. Observe, ladies and gentlemen, the scarcity of
511
00:29:57.359 --> 00:30:00.569
convolutions on the frontal lobe as compared to that of
512
00:30:00.630 --> 00:30:03.089
the normal brain, and.
513
00:30:02.990 --> 00:30:05.410
The distinct degeneration.
514
00:30:05.269 --> 00:30:06.289
Of the middle frontal lobe.
515
00:30:07.710 --> 00:30:11.960
All of these degenerate characteristics check amazingly with the case history.
516
00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:14.380
Of the dead man before us, whose life was one
517
00:30:14.400 --> 00:30:19.220
of brutality, of violence, and murder. Both of these jars
518
00:30:19.259 --> 00:30:20.779
will remain here for your further inspection.
519
00:30:21.460 --> 00:30:22.759
Thank you, gentlemen. The glass is dismissed.
520
00:30:24.720 --> 00:30:27.559
So now we know all this is a bunch of bullshit, right? Like,
521
00:30:27.880 --> 00:30:30.410
People can have different brains for different reasons, but back
522
00:30:30.450 --> 00:30:33.009
in the day, they really were trying to, like, describe people.
523
00:30:33.430 --> 00:30:36.049
What is it called? Phrenology, for what it is, where
524
00:30:36.069 --> 00:30:39.630
you take out the giant, like, you know, weird tongue-looking things,
525
00:30:39.970 --> 00:30:42.470
and you can measure people's head, and that's the measurement
526
00:30:42.509 --> 00:30:44.809
of the brains, and prove that one person was different
527
00:30:44.829 --> 00:30:47.319
than the other, and how the person thinks is dependent
528
00:30:47.359 --> 00:30:50.279
upon how, like, the measurements between the different lobes and
529
00:30:50.339 --> 00:30:53.390
shit like that. That's basically what we've got here. Where
530
00:30:53.410 --> 00:30:56.289
he's just like, here, look at these two brains. You
531
00:30:56.329 --> 00:31:00.150
see this one? This one's absolutely normal. It likes to
532
00:31:00.190 --> 00:31:04.680
steal money from people in high-profit trades. And it likes
533
00:31:04.759 --> 00:31:07.940
to ruin other people's lives by creating laws that they
534
00:31:07.980 --> 00:31:10.680
have to follow, but they don't follow themselves. And everything's
535
00:31:10.779 --> 00:31:14.390
perfectly normal with this person. Now, here's the brain of
536
00:31:14.430 --> 00:31:16.890
an outright criminal. All this person wants to do is...
537
00:31:18.130 --> 00:31:21.960
Feed his family. That's it. But we all know that
538
00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:24.700
he's a criminal at heart, even though he doesn't seem
539
00:31:24.740 --> 00:31:27.269
to have done a specific thing at all at any
540
00:31:27.349 --> 00:31:29.930
point at any time. Oh, come on. Look at the
541
00:31:30.029 --> 00:31:33.190
extra wrinkles that this one has. It's not because this
542
00:31:33.269 --> 00:31:35.380
guy died over here at the age of 24. This
543
00:31:35.619 --> 00:31:37.559
guy over here died at the ripe old age of
544
00:31:37.579 --> 00:31:42.150
a 72? That 70-year-old was a fucking criminal. That's just
545
00:31:42.170 --> 00:31:45.190
the way that the brain works. Oh yes, I'm cherry-picking
546
00:31:45.230 --> 00:31:47.490
in what I want to prove my point, but I'm
547
00:31:47.569 --> 00:31:50.750
still proving my point here. Don't you see? That man
548
00:31:50.829 --> 00:31:54.339
is a criminal. This man is a fucking genius. Yes,
549
00:31:54.740 --> 00:31:57.400
even us scientists here back in the day, we loved
550
00:31:57.420 --> 00:32:01.279
to fucking swear up and down the fucking court, because
551
00:32:01.380 --> 00:32:04.559
that's what makes us smart. That's what makes us a genius.
552
00:32:04.859 --> 00:32:08.309
And that's what makes people like me. And people like
553
00:32:08.670 --> 00:32:13.970
you someday have perfectly normal brains and everything will be good. Now,
554
00:32:14.559 --> 00:32:17.559
if you have some ridges like those ruffles you like
555
00:32:17.599 --> 00:32:21.519
to eat over there, my class, Mr. Stenson. Yes, you.
556
00:32:21.980 --> 00:32:24.170
I told you to stop eating those goddamn chips.
557
00:32:24.690 --> 00:32:24.950
All right.
558
00:32:25.650 --> 00:32:27.849
Can wait till you're done with this class i have
559
00:32:27.990 --> 00:32:31.630
open fucking bodies over here don't you understand mr stenson
560
00:32:31.670 --> 00:32:33.619
how many times have i warned you about eating those
561
00:32:33.660 --> 00:32:38.319
delicious sour and cream ruffles over there okay yes i
562
00:32:38.359 --> 00:32:40.480
know they have ridges and they capture all the flavor
563
00:32:40.500 --> 00:32:42.839
of the chips that you could ever want but what
564
00:32:42.900 --> 00:32:45.000
happens if we're doing surgery in here one of these
565
00:32:45.019 --> 00:32:47.660
days and you're eating those goddamn chips and one of
566
00:32:47.700 --> 00:32:51.599
those chips falls inside the patient If that patient dies
567
00:32:51.660 --> 00:32:54.539
because it got some extra, you know, sour cream and
568
00:32:54.619 --> 00:32:57.819
cheddar on the inside, it's going to be my ass,
569
00:32:57.900 --> 00:33:01.019
not yours. So I bet that that man's brain is
570
00:33:01.119 --> 00:33:04.359
relatively wrinkly. You know what we could do, Mr. Stinson,
571
00:33:04.400 --> 00:33:06.859
if you were up for it? And I'm pretty sure
572
00:33:06.920 --> 00:33:09.460
that you might be. We can have a little bit
573
00:33:09.579 --> 00:33:13.500
of a live demonstration of what the wrinkly brain actually
574
00:33:13.579 --> 00:33:15.890
looks like in a guy that disobeys in front of
575
00:33:15.940 --> 00:33:19.720
his teacher. Now put those fucking chips away and let
576
00:33:19.779 --> 00:33:23.380
me continue on with my lesson. In fact, I'm so upset,
577
00:33:23.779 --> 00:33:29.750
class is dismissed. We shall go now. So anyway, goddammit,
578
00:33:30.289 --> 00:33:33.470
I'm a fucking idiot, is what I really am. But nonetheless,
579
00:33:33.509 --> 00:33:35.450
so after everybody leaves here in the class and he
580
00:33:35.509 --> 00:33:39.259
explains the whole bullshit about his brain technology that's when
581
00:33:39.339 --> 00:33:41.579
fritz breaks in and he goes to steal the brain
582
00:33:41.920 --> 00:33:44.119
and when he goes to grab the normal brain after
583
00:33:44.180 --> 00:33:47.029
he gets scared by the random fucking skeleton that's in
584
00:33:47.049 --> 00:33:49.630
there and it's nice that the the jar with the
585
00:33:49.670 --> 00:33:51.930
normal brain that's there has normal brain written on the
586
00:33:52.029 --> 00:33:54.890
outside all of a sudden there's a strike of thunder
587
00:33:54.930 --> 00:33:57.710
and lightning outside and he drops the brain onto the
588
00:33:57.769 --> 00:34:00.289
floor and destroys it and then he grabs the other
589
00:34:00.529 --> 00:34:04.420
one because it says abby normal huh That must be
590
00:34:04.460 --> 00:34:07.089
somebody's name. I mean, there couldn't be anything wrong with
591
00:34:07.130 --> 00:34:11.369
a brain from Abby Normal. I mean, Abby someone. That's
592
00:34:11.429 --> 00:34:13.750
perfectly fine. You don't have to worry about the brain
593
00:34:13.789 --> 00:34:16.489
that you're grabbing over there. So Fritz grabs the criminal's
594
00:34:16.550 --> 00:34:19.530
brain and just hightails it the fuck out of there.
595
00:34:19.889 --> 00:34:24.050
Like how nobody heard him dropping anything or possibly getting
596
00:34:24.130 --> 00:34:27.469
away with stuff, I'll never fucking know. But yes, that
597
00:34:27.550 --> 00:34:30.900
is the big start of how everything is going to
598
00:34:30.940 --> 00:34:34.440
go downhill in this movie because Fritz doesn't know the
599
00:34:34.480 --> 00:34:37.460
difference between a normal brain that he drops on the floor.
600
00:34:37.780 --> 00:34:40.079
I'm pretty sure he could have picked up the brain
601
00:34:40.559 --> 00:34:43.199
threw the other brain onto the floor, put the brain
602
00:34:43.239 --> 00:34:46.090
inside the weird liquid that he's got there, it's probably
603
00:34:46.110 --> 00:34:48.570
like formaldehyde or some bullshit like that, or maybe it's
604
00:34:48.590 --> 00:34:51.869
some magical fucking liquid that's just keeping the brain intact,
605
00:34:52.269 --> 00:34:55.909
and could have swapped them right then and there. I mean, okay,
606
00:34:55.969 --> 00:34:58.869
so it's just a little wet. It's just a little
607
00:34:58.889 --> 00:35:00.269
bit on the floor. It's got a little bit of
608
00:35:00.389 --> 00:35:02.889
dirt on it, okay? He didn't step on it. Maybe
609
00:35:02.909 --> 00:35:05.050
it's got a bruise here or there, but the brain
610
00:35:05.070 --> 00:35:07.949
would be perfectly fine. It's still fucking usable for what
611
00:35:08.010 --> 00:35:11.570
it is, but Just swap the brain out. Take the
612
00:35:11.849 --> 00:35:14.269
abnormal brain out, put the normal brain in. But we
613
00:35:14.329 --> 00:35:17.280
all know that Fritz is probably not that bright and
614
00:35:17.300 --> 00:35:19.420
just was like, huh, I'm going to go ahead and
615
00:35:19.460 --> 00:35:21.280
grab the other brain that happens to be on the
616
00:35:21.320 --> 00:35:24.050
counter and everything's going to be perfectly fine. We then
617
00:35:24.110 --> 00:35:27.969
change scenes over to meet Victor and Elizabeth, as Elizabeth
618
00:35:28.050 --> 00:35:32.610
is very worried about her fiancé Henry, who's gone into solitude,
619
00:35:32.929 --> 00:35:35.480
and the only person that could help her happens to
620
00:35:35.500 --> 00:35:39.940
be his best man, his best friend, Victor. Now, it's
621
00:35:40.039 --> 00:35:44.360
funny because it's like inferred here that Victor is actually
622
00:35:44.400 --> 00:35:47.090
in love with Elizabeth, And maybe there was a chance
623
00:35:47.130 --> 00:35:49.710
that Elizabeth and him could have been together, but they
624
00:35:49.750 --> 00:35:52.750
decided against it. But then the movie doesn't really do
625
00:35:52.829 --> 00:35:54.869
anything with that. And maybe it's just part of the
626
00:35:54.909 --> 00:35:55.650
original story.
627
00:35:56.269 --> 00:35:57.130
I'm so glad you've come.
628
00:35:57.230 --> 00:35:59.309
Oh, you've heard from Henry?
629
00:35:59.429 --> 00:35:59.710
Yes.
630
00:36:00.090 --> 00:36:01.340
The first word in four months.
631
00:36:02.010 --> 00:36:05.840
It just came. Victor, you must help me.
632
00:36:05.840 --> 00:36:06.780
Of course I'll help you.
633
00:36:09.059 --> 00:36:09.679
I'm afraid.
634
00:36:10.920 --> 00:36:12.719
I've read this over and over again, but they're just
635
00:36:12.780 --> 00:36:14.739
words that I can't understand.
636
00:36:16.340 --> 00:36:16.679
Listen.
637
00:36:17.800 --> 00:36:19.920
You must have faith in me, Elizabeth. Wait.
638
00:36:20.800 --> 00:36:24.440
My work must come first, even before you. At night
639
00:36:24.500 --> 00:36:26.159
the winds howl in the mountains.
640
00:36:26.719 --> 00:36:30.409
There is no one here. Prying eyes can't peer into
641
00:36:30.449 --> 00:36:31.030
my secret.
642
00:36:32.150 --> 00:36:32.809
What can he mean?
643
00:36:32.829 --> 00:36:34.449
What does he say then?
644
00:36:37.269 --> 00:36:39.849
I am living in an abandoned old watchtower close to
645
00:36:39.869 --> 00:36:40.949
the town of Goldstadt.
646
00:36:41.719 --> 00:36:44.599
Only my assistant is here to help me with my experiments.
647
00:36:45.670 --> 00:36:46.809
Oh, his experiments.
648
00:36:47.550 --> 00:36:50.329
Yes, that's what frightens me. The very day we announced
649
00:36:50.369 --> 00:36:53.710
our engagement, he told me of his experiments. He said
650
00:36:53.730 --> 00:36:55.760
he was on the verge of a discovery so terrific
651
00:36:55.780 --> 00:36:57.059
that he doubted his own sanity.
652
00:36:57.079 --> 00:36:59.900
There was a strange look in his eyes.
653
00:37:00.699 --> 00:37:01.460
Some mystery.
654
00:37:02.179 --> 00:37:05.920
His words carried me right away. Of course, I've never
655
00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:08.199
doubted him, but still I worry I can't help it.
656
00:37:09.750 --> 00:37:12.929
Now this letter. This uncertainty can't go on.
657
00:37:12.989 --> 00:37:13.650
I must know.
658
00:37:14.329 --> 00:37:14.630
Victor.
659
00:37:15.579 --> 00:37:16.219
Have you seen him?
660
00:37:16.760 --> 00:37:20.400
Yes. About three weeks ago, I met him walking alone
661
00:37:20.440 --> 00:37:22.659
in the woods. He spoke to me of his work, too.
662
00:37:23.260 --> 00:37:25.079
I asked him if I might visit his laboratory.
663
00:37:25.880 --> 00:37:27.619
He just glared at me and said he'd let no
664
00:37:27.699 --> 00:37:28.219
one go there.
665
00:37:29.019 --> 00:37:31.619
His manner was very strange. Oh, what can we do?
666
00:37:31.639 --> 00:37:34.119
Oprah should be ill.
667
00:37:34.300 --> 00:37:34.860
Don't worry.
668
00:37:35.579 --> 00:37:38.519
I'll go to Dr. Vartman, Henry's old professor in medical school.
669
00:37:39.219 --> 00:37:40.780
Perhaps he can tell me more about all this.
670
00:37:41.860 --> 00:37:42.739
Victor, your idea.
671
00:37:43.960 --> 00:37:45.400
You know I'd go to the ends of the earth
672
00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:45.719
for you.
673
00:37:46.440 --> 00:37:49.179
I shouldn't like that. I'm far too fond of you.
674
00:37:49.880 --> 00:37:50.500
I wish you were.
675
00:37:50.530 --> 00:37:54.010
Victor.
676
00:37:55.110 --> 00:37:55.510
I'm sorry.
677
00:37:56.369 --> 00:37:58.789
What the fuck are you doing here with your friend's
678
00:37:58.869 --> 00:38:03.230
fucking fiancé, right, Victor? Okay, oh, I'm so worried about him.
679
00:38:03.289 --> 00:38:05.849
Can you please help me out? Oh, you know I'd
680
00:38:05.869 --> 00:38:08.590
go to the end of Earth for you, my dear. Oh,
681
00:38:08.590 --> 00:38:12.739
I wish you shouldn't. I'm very fond of you. Oh,
682
00:38:13.119 --> 00:38:19.219
but I wish you were. Awkward fucking silence after that. Oh,
683
00:38:19.300 --> 00:38:19.840
my God.
684
00:38:19.909 --> 00:38:20.210
It's... So.
685
00:38:21.570 --> 00:38:24.650
She gets a letter from her fiancé, from Henry, right?
686
00:38:24.690 --> 00:38:28.340
From Frankenstein. And that is telling her that, hey, you
687
00:38:28.380 --> 00:38:30.820
know what? I'll be back soon. Don't worry, babe. I
688
00:38:30.860 --> 00:38:33.579
got experiments that I gotta do, but I'm out here
689
00:38:33.619 --> 00:38:36.559
in the middle of fucking nowhere. It's okay. There isn't
690
00:38:36.619 --> 00:38:39.880
another woman. Cough, cough, wink, wink. You just can't come
691
00:38:39.980 --> 00:38:44.090
out here, alright? Because if you come out here, then... Um,
692
00:38:44.429 --> 00:38:48.610
you know, you're going to interrupt my, uh, experiments that
693
00:38:48.690 --> 00:38:57.320
I've got going on, uh, on the puppetry of the, um, uh, penis. No, no, no, no, no, not, not, not, not,
694
00:38:57.420 --> 00:39:00.000
not wiener. No, not penis. No, we're not doing puppetry
695
00:39:00.019 --> 00:39:03.059
of the penis over here. We're doing, uh, um, uh,
696
00:39:03.179 --> 00:39:08.409
I'm learning how to create. flowers and make them bloom
697
00:39:08.659 --> 00:39:15.289
like a young woman after she gets married and you plow. Oh, wait, wait, wait. No,
698
00:39:15.329 --> 00:39:18.849
that that is going to lead her on to maybe
699
00:39:18.909 --> 00:39:21.869
maybe I should just tell her that I'm fucking somebody else.
700
00:39:22.230 --> 00:39:24.630
So that way she'll just leave me alone. I mean,
701
00:39:25.170 --> 00:39:28.789
how do you explain in a non-sexual manner that you
702
00:39:28.849 --> 00:39:32.199
are trying to bring something that was once dead back
703
00:39:32.280 --> 00:39:37.619
to life? It just can't be done. There's just no way.
704
00:39:39.110 --> 00:39:43.130
All right. Okay, can you restart the telegram? We were
705
00:39:43.170 --> 00:39:45.230
doing a telegram, sir? I thought you were writing a
706
00:39:45.269 --> 00:39:47.269
letter that we're going to send off. Oh, yeah, you're right.
707
00:39:47.710 --> 00:39:49.909
I should just write these down. Fritz, can you show
708
00:39:49.929 --> 00:39:53.840
me what you've written down? Uh, I don't know how
709
00:39:53.880 --> 00:39:57.920
to write, sir. You never taught me how to write.
710
00:39:58.440 --> 00:39:58.599
What?
711
00:39:59.699 --> 00:40:02.800
God damn it, Fritz. What are you good for? Flipping buttons.
712
00:40:03.239 --> 00:40:09.179
Digging up graves. Getting Abby normal brains. Oh, that's right.
713
00:40:09.599 --> 00:40:12.630
You are really good at that stuff, Fritz. I owe
714
00:40:12.690 --> 00:40:18.699
you a cookie. Oh, a cookie master. Oh, can I
715
00:40:18.760 --> 00:40:22.719
be the Cookie Monster after this is done, sir? You
716
00:40:22.760 --> 00:40:27.460
can be whatever you want, Fritz. Whatever you want. Now,
717
00:40:28.400 --> 00:40:34.420
learn how to fucking write. Yes, sir. I'll learn right away, sir.
718
00:40:36.570 --> 00:40:38.949
I don't know how, but I'll do it for you
719
00:40:39.360 --> 00:40:43.269
so I can be the Cookie Monster. C is for cookie.
720
00:40:43.769 --> 00:40:44.809
That's good enough for me.
721
00:40:45.730 --> 00:40:45.969
Anyway.
722
00:40:46.710 --> 00:40:50.989
Uh, God damn it. So she's worried about her fiance.
723
00:40:51.170 --> 00:40:53.789
She's worried about him and Victor is going to help
724
00:40:53.849 --> 00:40:55.469
her out. That's basically what we're getting out of the
725
00:40:55.489 --> 00:40:57.690
whole thing. And she's going to speak to Dr. Waldman
726
00:40:58.110 --> 00:41:02.130
or Waldman because he managed to find a random fucking
727
00:41:02.170 --> 00:41:05.670
windmill that was very close to the university by, because
728
00:41:05.710 --> 00:41:08.880
that's where he was fucking studying under Dr. Waldman. That
729
00:41:08.909 --> 00:41:11.420
was there. So Victor decides he's going to go and
730
00:41:11.500 --> 00:41:14.420
talk to the good doctor, but Elizabeth decides that, Hey,
731
00:41:14.460 --> 00:41:16.880
you know what? I want to learn more. And so
732
00:41:17.099 --> 00:41:19.099
I'm going to go along with you. So then they
733
00:41:19.139 --> 00:41:22.639
go off and they begin to have their conversation with Dr.
734
00:41:22.659 --> 00:41:26.239
Valdman and trying to go out there and talk to Victor.
735
00:41:26.699 --> 00:41:29.960
Valdman at first, he kind of is wary about doing
736
00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:33.460
it because he doesn't really, you know, think that Frankenstein
737
00:41:33.480 --> 00:41:34.980
would be too cool to him going out there, but
738
00:41:35.300 --> 00:41:37.059
they try to convince him to do so.
739
00:41:37.079 --> 00:41:41.199
Frankenstein is the most brilliant young man, yet so erratic.
740
00:41:42.050 --> 00:41:42.659
He troubles me.
741
00:41:44.110 --> 00:41:45.190
I'm worried about Henry.
742
00:41:45.949 --> 00:41:47.210
Why has he left the university?
743
00:41:47.929 --> 00:41:50.929
He was doing so well, and he seemed so happy
744
00:41:50.969 --> 00:41:51.550
with his work.
745
00:41:52.849 --> 00:41:54.610
Well, you know, his research is in the field of
746
00:41:54.650 --> 00:41:58.190
chemical galvanism and electrobiology. We're far in advance of our
747
00:41:58.250 --> 00:42:01.909
theories here at the university. In fact, they had reached
748
00:42:01.949 --> 00:42:08.320
a most advanced stage. They were becoming dangerous. Herr Frankenstein
749
00:42:08.380 --> 00:42:11.139
is greatly changed. You mean changed as a result of
750
00:42:11.179 --> 00:42:11.539
his work?
751
00:42:12.320 --> 00:42:13.360
Yes, his work.
752
00:42:14.289 --> 00:42:18.489
His insane ambition to create life. How?
753
00:42:19.510 --> 00:42:19.829
How?
754
00:42:22.309 --> 00:42:25.780
Please tell us everything, whatever it is. The bodies we
755
00:42:25.880 --> 00:42:28.739
use in our dissecting room for lecture purposes... were not
756
00:42:28.800 --> 00:42:32.300
perfect enough for his experiments, he said. He wished us
757
00:42:32.340 --> 00:42:35.079
to supply him with other bodies... and we were not
758
00:42:35.099 --> 00:42:37.889
to be too particular as to where and how we
759
00:42:37.929 --> 00:42:41.949
got them. I told him that his demands were unreasonable...
760
00:42:42.230 --> 00:42:44.489
And so he left the university to work on Hampel.
761
00:42:45.730 --> 00:42:49.329
He found what he needed elsewhere. Oh, the bodies of animals. Well,
762
00:42:49.789 --> 00:42:51.610
what are the lives of a few rabbits and dogs?
763
00:42:52.289 --> 00:42:56.889
You do not quite get what I mean. Herr Frankenstein
764
00:42:57.010 --> 00:42:58.679
was interested only in human life.
765
00:42:59.780 --> 00:43:04.559
First to destroy it, then recreate it. There you have
766
00:43:04.619 --> 00:43:06.239
his mad dream.
767
00:43:10.039 --> 00:43:10.800
Can we go to Limb?
768
00:43:11.739 --> 00:43:12.780
You will not be very welcome.
769
00:43:13.070 --> 00:43:15.469
Oh, what does that matter? I must see him.
770
00:43:16.550 --> 00:43:16.829
Dr.
771
00:43:16.849 --> 00:43:20.909
Veldman, you have influence with Henry. Won't you come with us?
772
00:43:21.829 --> 00:43:24.269
I am sorry, but Herr Frankenstein is no longer my pupil.
773
00:43:25.989 --> 00:43:29.389
But he respects you. Won't you help us.
774
00:43:29.329 --> 00:43:29.969
To take him away?
775
00:43:30.650 --> 00:43:33.969
Very well, Fraulein. I have warned you. But if you
776
00:43:34.010 --> 00:43:35.480
wish it, I will go.
777
00:43:36.480 --> 00:43:40.300
Okay, what does get me bothered here about this situation
778
00:43:40.340 --> 00:43:42.239
that they've got going on as they're talking to Dr.
779
00:43:42.260 --> 00:43:44.800
Valdman over here, which I'm just going to call Valdman
780
00:43:44.860 --> 00:43:48.960
from now on, is that they're like, they just told
781
00:43:49.039 --> 00:43:54.969
each other that Frankenstein told them about his experiments and
782
00:43:55.010 --> 00:43:57.230
what he was doing. And then when they talked to
783
00:43:57.269 --> 00:44:01.570
Valdman over here, they're like, what? He's trying to bring
784
00:44:01.650 --> 00:44:04.769
dead flesh back to life and he wants bodies? I
785
00:44:04.829 --> 00:44:09.130
didn't know that. Motherfucker told you what his experiments are
786
00:44:09.150 --> 00:44:11.670
going to be. They told you what his ambitions were
787
00:44:11.710 --> 00:44:13.849
going to be. In fact, Victor, you saw him just
788
00:44:13.889 --> 00:44:16.170
three fucking weeks ago when he explained to you what
789
00:44:16.210 --> 00:44:18.570
he was doing. And he's like, can't come up there
790
00:44:18.610 --> 00:44:20.969
because I'm trying to bring fucking life back from death.
791
00:44:21.429 --> 00:44:25.469
And you're like, what? He just wants rabbits and dogs?
792
00:44:26.809 --> 00:44:29.159
What is a life of a rabbit and a dog
793
00:44:29.199 --> 00:44:33.460
to science? Fuck you, Victor. That's what it is. It's
794
00:44:33.679 --> 00:44:36.860
fuck you, Victor. In some cases, the life of a
795
00:44:36.880 --> 00:44:38.980
dog or a rabbit is way better than the life
796
00:44:39.019 --> 00:44:43.639
of a fucking human. But still, in most cases, I've
797
00:44:43.659 --> 00:44:46.360
had a choice between a family member and my dog.
798
00:44:47.119 --> 00:44:50.050
Which family member are we talking about? Is it the
799
00:44:50.110 --> 00:44:53.730
one that everybody hates, nobody really talks to? Or is
800
00:44:53.769 --> 00:44:57.349
it the one that everybody loves that's not me? Because
801
00:44:57.510 --> 00:44:59.750
maybe I'm the latter one and nobody would save me?
802
00:45:00.309 --> 00:45:02.480
Maybe that's what I'm trying to get at? I'm just
803
00:45:02.559 --> 00:45:04.440
a scared little boy. I don't want people to pick
804
00:45:04.480 --> 00:45:06.760
their dog over me. Especially my dog, because I know
805
00:45:06.800 --> 00:45:09.260
everybody would pick my dog over me. They would just
806
00:45:09.300 --> 00:45:12.119
save that fucking huge moose over there. What am I kidding?
807
00:45:12.179 --> 00:45:15.320
I'd save that huge moose over me too. But, oh wait,
808
00:45:15.469 --> 00:45:21.610
nothing left. But it's still ridiculous. Like, that's the only
809
00:45:21.670 --> 00:45:25.010
thing that gets me about the little scene. But just
810
00:45:25.050 --> 00:45:27.719
in general, I mean... We know that he's doing more.
811
00:45:27.760 --> 00:45:31.219
He left the university because his experiments were going to
812
00:45:31.260 --> 00:45:35.940
be above and beyond what the school was willing to
813
00:45:35.980 --> 00:45:38.760
provide for him. While they got cadavers to what he
814
00:45:38.800 --> 00:45:41.860
wanted to do, he wanted to get more cadavers and
815
00:45:42.000 --> 00:45:45.449
different types of cadavers because he's creating his own goddamn
816
00:45:45.510 --> 00:45:47.780
body that's going to be there, his monster that he's
817
00:45:47.800 --> 00:45:49.929
going to try to bring to fucking life. And the
818
00:45:49.969 --> 00:45:52.829
university was like, nope, we don't want anything to do
819
00:45:52.869 --> 00:45:55.550
with that shit. Get your ass fucking out of here.
820
00:45:56.030 --> 00:45:59.130
you're expelled or he just left the university even though
821
00:45:59.150 --> 00:46:00.869
they wanted to like give him a degree or some
822
00:46:00.909 --> 00:46:03.670
shit i i really don't know on that part and
823
00:46:03.710 --> 00:46:07.909
so we then change scenes over to frankenstein's big old
824
00:46:07.969 --> 00:46:10.190
fucking windmill that he's got in the middle of fucking
825
00:46:10.289 --> 00:46:13.909
nowhere that he's doing his experiments with where he's talking
826
00:46:13.929 --> 00:46:17.949
to fritz and we have fritz him and the monster that's.
827
00:46:17.820 --> 00:46:22.500
There If this storm develops as I hope, you'll have
828
00:46:22.599 --> 00:46:24.780
plenty to be afraid of before the night's over.
829
00:46:25.639 --> 00:46:26.139
Go on.
830
00:46:26.360 --> 00:46:42.670
Fix the electrodes. This storm will be magnificent. All the
831
00:46:42.710 --> 00:46:47.139
electrical secrets of heaven. And this time we're ready.
832
00:46:47.739 --> 00:46:48.179
Eh, Fritz?
833
00:46:49.099 --> 00:46:49.340
Ready.
834
00:46:52.090 --> 00:46:59.659
Why, what's the matter? Look. There's nothing to fear.
835
00:47:00.480 --> 00:47:00.699
Look.
836
00:47:02.360 --> 00:47:06.519
No blood. No decay. Just a few stitches.
837
00:47:09.119 --> 00:47:09.500
And look.
838
00:47:10.659 --> 00:47:18.269
Here's the final touch. The brain you stole, Fritz.
839
00:47:18.289 --> 00:47:19.090
Yes.
840
00:47:19.150 --> 00:47:22.690
Think of it. The brain of a dead man. Waiting
841
00:47:22.730 --> 00:47:25.170
to live again in a body I made with my
842
00:47:25.250 --> 00:47:33.400
own hands. With my own hands. Let's have one final test.
843
00:47:33.920 --> 00:47:34.519
Throw the switches.
844
00:47:36.969 --> 00:47:40.789
This set is fucking cool. Like, just the way that
845
00:47:40.849 --> 00:47:44.190
it looks, it is awesome. And one of the things
846
00:47:44.250 --> 00:47:46.670
that I will say with this as well as compared
847
00:47:46.710 --> 00:47:49.070
to Dracula, even though, you know, a lot of it
848
00:47:49.309 --> 00:47:51.860
happens at night with Dracula because that's the only way
849
00:47:51.880 --> 00:47:54.619
that he can come out. Dracula can't be around during
850
00:47:54.659 --> 00:47:56.820
the day. He only hangs out at night at places
851
00:47:56.900 --> 00:47:59.539
because he's a night owl, right? He likes to party.
852
00:48:00.039 --> 00:48:02.440
That's really what it is. He can't party during the day.
853
00:48:02.460 --> 00:48:05.809
He can only party at night. But here... Or with
854
00:48:05.889 --> 00:48:08.699
that film, I should say, it was still relatively light.
855
00:48:09.239 --> 00:48:13.780
Everything was indoors, everything was visible, everything was nice and clear.
856
00:48:13.800 --> 00:48:19.639
This movie is much darker in tone and darker in visuals.
857
00:48:20.090 --> 00:48:24.010
And you really have this deep, dark, dank fucking dungeon-like
858
00:48:24.090 --> 00:48:27.590
place that we've got that Frankenstein hangs out in and
859
00:48:27.630 --> 00:48:31.369
does all the experiments inside of his little laboratory that
860
00:48:31.389 --> 00:48:35.050
he set up inside of this windmill. And it's really
861
00:48:35.110 --> 00:48:37.889
cool looking with the real Tesla coil that he's got
862
00:48:37.949 --> 00:48:41.469
there in the background. As well as all the chains
863
00:48:41.530 --> 00:48:43.789
for the table that are going to be holding everything up.
864
00:48:44.190 --> 00:48:46.639
To the weird machines that are all over the place.
865
00:48:46.980 --> 00:48:49.940
The set just looks really good. And it really fits
866
00:48:50.139 --> 00:48:53.840
for the time. Does it feel old? Yes, it does
867
00:48:53.880 --> 00:48:57.619
feel old. It feels old mad scientist old. But at
868
00:48:57.679 --> 00:49:00.829
the same time, it still feels right. It still feels
869
00:49:00.909 --> 00:49:04.670
lived in. It doesn't look like a set. You can
870
00:49:04.750 --> 00:49:07.840
kind of understand when you see places... Where they look
871
00:49:07.880 --> 00:49:11.340
like sets. Like parts of Dracula look like a set.
872
00:49:11.559 --> 00:49:14.030
I know this is a set, right? Of course it's
873
00:49:14.050 --> 00:49:15.989
going to be a set. But what I mean when
874
00:49:16.030 --> 00:49:18.250
I say it doesn't look like a set, it actually
875
00:49:18.409 --> 00:49:21.000
looks like it all belongs. It's not just a bunch
876
00:49:21.019 --> 00:49:23.409
of random things that are kind of placed together. It
877
00:49:23.530 --> 00:49:26.820
really has life to it on its own. And with
878
00:49:27.050 --> 00:49:31.110
the darker tone of the room and the darker visual
879
00:49:31.150 --> 00:49:34.250
that you have, even when we're talking to Valdman over there,
880
00:49:34.409 --> 00:49:37.710
it feels darker in that room than it does in
881
00:49:38.010 --> 00:49:40.769
any room in Dracula. Not to say there aren't light
882
00:49:40.849 --> 00:49:45.090
parts to this movie, But most of this movie feels darker,
883
00:49:45.369 --> 00:49:49.070
and that's where I feel more of the gothic aesthetic
884
00:49:49.289 --> 00:49:51.909
vibe that I get from this movie than I got
885
00:49:51.989 --> 00:49:56.260
from Dracula itself. Where Dracula, I kind of got more, well,
886
00:49:56.579 --> 00:50:00.019
it's still gothic, but more gothic romance. And again, that
887
00:50:00.079 --> 00:50:03.239
comes from the characters, not necessarily the set. Where here,
888
00:50:03.519 --> 00:50:07.400
I get that from the set and the visuals versus
889
00:50:07.460 --> 00:50:11.320
the characters themselves. So everything is up and running and
890
00:50:11.369 --> 00:50:15.230
it seems like things are going Frankenstein's way and he's
891
00:50:15.329 --> 00:50:19.090
ready to start. Thunder is going, lightning has just started
892
00:50:19.110 --> 00:50:23.170
touching down and it's time to actually get his boy
893
00:50:23.329 --> 00:50:26.679
up and running and ready to come to life. And
894
00:50:26.719 --> 00:50:30.380
then all of a sudden there are some unexpected guests
895
00:50:30.440 --> 00:50:30.960
at the door.
896
00:50:30.980 --> 00:50:32.400
Good.
897
00:50:33.780 --> 00:50:37.360
Fifteen minutes the storm should be at its height. Then
898
00:50:37.380 --> 00:50:37.920
we'll be ready.
899
00:50:45.530 --> 00:50:47.570
There's someone there. Quiet.
900
00:50:47.590 --> 00:50:53.679
Send them away. Nobody must come here.
901
00:50:53.820 --> 00:51:09.579
Here, cover this.
902
00:51:10.719 --> 00:51:13.530
Whoever it is, don't let them in. Leave them to me.
903
00:51:16.960 --> 00:51:22.760
Old times, anybody to come.
904
00:51:23.380 --> 00:51:24.039
Now.
905
00:51:24.079 --> 00:51:24.559
Not much.
906
00:51:25.059 --> 00:51:27.599
Also messing about at this time of night. Got too
907
00:51:27.639 --> 00:51:30.800
much to do. Wait a minute.
908
00:51:31.000 --> 00:51:32.519
All right, all right.
909
00:51:32.579 --> 00:51:33.840
Wait a minute.
910
00:51:36.239 --> 00:51:36.579
It's Dr.
911
00:51:36.699 --> 00:51:37.320
Waldman, Fitz.
912
00:51:37.539 --> 00:51:38.460
You can't see him.
913
00:51:38.719 --> 00:51:39.059
Go away.
914
00:51:56.510 --> 00:51:57.469
Frankenstein!
915
00:51:57.530 --> 00:51:57.750
Henry!
916
00:51:57.789 --> 00:51:58.769
Frankenstein! Henry!
917
00:51:58.789 --> 00:51:59.590
Open the door!
918
00:51:59.610 --> 00:52:00.210
There is Ian!
919
00:52:00.250 --> 00:52:00.869
Who is it?
920
00:52:00.929 --> 00:52:03.969
Who is it? What do you want? You will leave
921
00:52:04.030 --> 00:52:05.239
me alone now.
922
00:52:05.340 --> 00:52:06.000
It's Elizabeth.
923
00:52:06.139 --> 00:52:08.119
Open the door!
924
00:52:11.860 --> 00:52:15.650
Damn, man, can't somebody do some science over here with
925
00:52:15.670 --> 00:52:18.829
their old ball and chain? Well, soon to be ball
926
00:52:18.869 --> 00:52:22.769
and chain, not coming to find out what exactly he's doing.
927
00:52:23.130 --> 00:52:27.690
I mean, come on. I'm just sitting here getting all
928
00:52:27.730 --> 00:52:32.800
my electrical shit together, working on... sewing this body together,
929
00:52:32.889 --> 00:52:35.960
getting a brain inside of it, getting my hopes and
930
00:52:36.079 --> 00:52:39.579
dreams together. I told your ass to stay at home,
931
00:52:39.920 --> 00:52:42.380
and yet you gotta come out here. Not only are
932
00:52:42.579 --> 00:52:45.239
you coming out here, you're bringing one of my really
933
00:52:45.280 --> 00:52:48.550
good friends with you, you're bringing the professor I used
934
00:52:48.590 --> 00:52:52.550
to study under. What the fuck is your big fucking deal, man?
935
00:52:52.909 --> 00:52:55.369
I just wanted to be out there and, you know,
936
00:52:55.789 --> 00:53:00.349
smoke some fucking dope. drink some wine, put a dead
937
00:53:00.409 --> 00:53:03.960
guy on the table, dig up a couple of corpses
938
00:53:04.139 --> 00:53:08.880
out here, and then use my giant electrical what's-a-mabobits that
939
00:53:08.920 --> 00:53:12.119
I've got over here and bring somebody to life. And
940
00:53:12.139 --> 00:53:16.849
you gotta come up here in my private space and
941
00:53:17.090 --> 00:53:21.769
interrupt the science that's going on. We gotta really rethink
942
00:53:21.789 --> 00:53:25.309
this marriage thing. I mean, if you can't let a man...
943
00:53:25.719 --> 00:53:29.420
follow his dreams of going out there and resurrecting the
944
00:53:29.480 --> 00:53:34.170
dead and becoming like a god then this marriage ain't
945
00:53:34.190 --> 00:53:36.389
gonna work i just i just don't know what to
946
00:53:36.449 --> 00:53:40.590
do i mean i'm a scientist you're a a woman
947
00:53:40.619 --> 00:53:43.059
i don't know what you do in this time and
948
00:53:43.119 --> 00:53:45.219
day and age and everything like that you just kind
949
00:53:45.239 --> 00:53:48.650
of look over there maybe look pretty I guess maybe
950
00:53:48.690 --> 00:53:51.329
that's what you do. Maybe that's what I'm expecting you
951
00:53:51.349 --> 00:53:53.780
to do. You soon you're going to be home barefoot
952
00:53:53.840 --> 00:53:56.239
with the kids and I'm still going to be doing
953
00:53:56.280 --> 00:53:58.780
my science and I'm going to leave you all the
954
00:53:58.820 --> 00:54:02.340
time and not really care about what's going on. But hey,
955
00:54:02.820 --> 00:54:05.829
it's going to work. That's going to be our relationship.
956
00:54:06.289 --> 00:54:09.070
And so, yeah, he gets interrupted with whatever he's doing
957
00:54:09.110 --> 00:54:12.690
and he goes downstairs and and Henry sees that, you know,
958
00:54:12.750 --> 00:54:18.079
his fiancée, his wife-to-be, along with his best friend and Dr. Veldman,
959
00:54:18.659 --> 00:54:21.420
are there wanting to come inside, the weather is getting
960
00:54:21.460 --> 00:54:23.679
really bad, and he's telling them just to get the
961
00:54:23.739 --> 00:54:26.219
fuck out of there, and then Elizabeth is like, well,
962
00:54:26.239 --> 00:54:28.840
at least let us get inside from the goddamn weather
963
00:54:28.880 --> 00:54:32.940
that's going outside, and reluctantly, he does let them inside,
964
00:54:33.300 --> 00:54:36.829
but they do wonder about him in, like, What's going on?
965
00:54:36.949 --> 00:54:39.889
Is everything okay? We heard what you're trying to do,
966
00:54:39.989 --> 00:54:43.920
and it's just kind of crazy. So he decides that, hey,
967
00:54:43.960 --> 00:54:46.199
you know what? Why don't you guys, I'm going to
968
00:54:46.280 --> 00:54:49.679
prove to you how not crazy I am. You need
969
00:54:49.719 --> 00:54:52.719
to come upstairs and you need to see my corpse
970
00:54:52.760 --> 00:54:56.519
that's lying on a table over here that I've stitched together.
971
00:54:57.000 --> 00:55:00.260
And he makes them all sit down and then basically
972
00:55:00.730 --> 00:55:04.449
goes through and tells them why he's not crazy. And then,
973
00:55:04.670 --> 00:55:06.989
you know what? We're going to see who's fucking crazy.
974
00:55:08.289 --> 00:55:08.730
Henry!
975
00:55:09.510 --> 00:55:11.030
What do you want?
976
00:55:11.110 --> 00:55:12.969
Open the door. Let us in.
977
00:55:13.010 --> 00:55:14.440
You must leave me alone.
978
00:55:14.480 --> 00:55:15.920
Henry, at least give us shelter.
979
00:55:25.340 --> 00:55:26.460
I'm quite all right.
980
00:55:26.500 --> 00:55:27.199
Truly, I am.
981
00:55:27.260 --> 00:55:30.539
Oh, can't you see I mustn't be disturbed? You'll ruin everything.
982
00:55:30.559 --> 00:55:31.719
My experiment is almost completed.
983
00:55:31.739 --> 00:55:32.280
Wait a moment.
984
00:55:32.380 --> 00:55:32.780
I understand.
985
00:55:46.449 --> 00:55:49.679
I believe in you, but I cannot leave you tonight.
986
00:55:49.940 --> 00:55:53.000
You're inhuman.
987
00:55:53.019 --> 00:55:59.559
You're crazy. Crazy am I. We'll see whether I'm crazy
988
00:55:59.800 --> 00:55:59.989
or not.
989
00:56:04.650 --> 00:56:05.190
Come on up.
990
00:56:05.949 --> 00:56:10.250
Would a crazy man have this type of face on him? Like, again,
991
00:56:10.269 --> 00:56:16.059
I really, really, really do think really, really, really like
992
00:56:16.139 --> 00:56:20.480
Colin Clive. I think that while again, the, the way
993
00:56:20.500 --> 00:56:23.840
he says words are not necessarily the best. And then
994
00:56:23.860 --> 00:56:26.000
I think this is just a time period type of
995
00:56:26.059 --> 00:56:29.639
thing that's going on here, but his facial expressions are
996
00:56:29.739 --> 00:56:33.800
just fucking money. Feek man. They, they are just the
997
00:56:33.969 --> 00:56:36.650
cream of the fucking crop in the way that he
998
00:56:36.670 --> 00:56:39.389
like looks at her. And he's just like, It really
999
00:56:39.469 --> 00:56:42.710
looks like in his face he is more worried about
1000
00:56:42.750 --> 00:56:46.469
the experiment going wrong than, you know, what it is
1001
00:56:46.789 --> 00:56:50.280
and having his wife, or soon-to-be wife, actually see what
1002
00:56:50.320 --> 00:56:54.440
it is, right? That he's just like, oh, no, no, no, man.
1003
00:56:54.500 --> 00:56:57.300
You're going to ruin the whole thing, man. I've worked
1004
00:56:57.340 --> 00:57:00.380
so hard on this, man. You just can't do this.
1005
00:57:00.420 --> 00:57:03.519
You can't be here right now. And then when Victor
1006
00:57:03.559 --> 00:57:06.840
steps up, you know, you're going crazy. It's just that
1007
00:57:06.880 --> 00:57:10.440
immediate fucking... switch over and where I can't really fucking
1008
00:57:10.780 --> 00:57:15.199
snap right for some fucking reason but it's just like
1009
00:57:15.320 --> 00:57:17.820
that face switch that he has that he goes crazy
1010
00:57:17.940 --> 00:57:22.400
am I he just looks with determination well come on
1011
00:57:22.500 --> 00:57:27.570
up then like it it's crazy good and it's so
1012
00:57:27.829 --> 00:57:32.010
entertaining in what it is and it's just again you
1013
00:57:32.050 --> 00:57:34.789
don't have these great I mean you have really great
1014
00:57:34.869 --> 00:57:38.559
special effects for this time and age And it still
1015
00:57:38.619 --> 00:57:42.039
holds up. It's practical, practical. Always hold up over anything
1016
00:57:42.099 --> 00:57:44.849
CGI for the most part. There are some things that
1017
00:57:45.050 --> 00:57:47.210
still hold up when you put a lot of fucking
1018
00:57:47.250 --> 00:57:51.309
money into your CGI. But in general, when you see this,
1019
00:57:51.409 --> 00:57:54.480
like this movie, like the sets still really look good.
1020
00:57:54.860 --> 00:57:58.139
And it's still convincing. Maybe the makeup isn't the best,
1021
00:57:58.559 --> 00:58:02.130
but it still works. And honestly, the makeup of Frankenstein,
1022
00:58:02.429 --> 00:58:06.510
his monster, is pretty damn good for the time period
1023
00:58:06.550 --> 00:58:08.579
and even for today. I mean, when you see him
1024
00:58:08.619 --> 00:58:10.760
first on the table and they unroll and they show
1025
00:58:10.780 --> 00:58:13.659
the bottom or the top of the face... Well, not
1026
00:58:13.699 --> 00:58:16.239
really the face, the head more or less. Like it
1027
00:58:16.300 --> 00:58:18.760
does look a little bit funky with him all wrapped
1028
00:58:18.820 --> 00:58:20.860
up and everything like that. But then when you see
1029
00:58:20.920 --> 00:58:24.610
Boris Karloff in motion, it looks really good and it
1030
00:58:24.670 --> 00:58:27.789
looks very believable. And I know that you could go
1031
00:58:27.829 --> 00:58:30.190
back to be like, oh, like there's a difference between
1032
00:58:30.250 --> 00:58:34.369
Dracula and Frankenstein, right? There's a huge and Frankenstein's monster.
1033
00:58:34.869 --> 00:58:37.659
There's a huge difference between the two types of characters
1034
00:58:37.699 --> 00:58:40.300
that you got going on there. It's very easy to
1035
00:58:40.360 --> 00:58:44.809
make a very, like, romanticized version of a vampire with
1036
00:58:44.849 --> 00:58:47.309
the long cape and, you know, the hair and the
1037
00:58:47.550 --> 00:58:49.909
eyes and all that type of stuff. But to create
1038
00:58:50.130 --> 00:58:55.650
this monster? It's even harder in this day and time
1039
00:58:55.809 --> 00:58:58.769
to make it look the way that it does. Is
1040
00:58:58.849 --> 00:59:01.519
it a little funky? It's a little bit funky. Like,
1041
00:59:01.539 --> 00:59:04.840
you know, the way the outfit looks and the shoes
1042
00:59:04.880 --> 00:59:09.079
and everything like that. But overall, it's still really impressive
1043
00:59:09.480 --> 00:59:14.099
and it looks fantastic. It is just like the epitome
1044
00:59:14.380 --> 00:59:18.400
of what a monster is, at least for the time frame.
1045
00:59:18.460 --> 00:59:22.889
Like new versions of the Frankenstein monster definitely look a
1046
00:59:23.030 --> 00:59:25.989
little bit better and they're trying to modernize the way
1047
00:59:26.050 --> 00:59:29.539
the look is. But there's something just special about the
1048
00:59:29.590 --> 00:59:32.750
way the classic monster looks. So he has them go upstairs.
1049
00:59:33.050 --> 00:59:36.670
He has them all sit down. And he basically, once again,
1050
00:59:36.989 --> 00:59:40.369
talks to them and explains kind of what he's doing
1051
00:59:40.769 --> 00:59:43.369
and the fact that, yeah, you know, I'm not really
1052
00:59:43.409 --> 00:59:45.340
the crazy one. You guys are.
1053
00:59:45.360 --> 00:59:50.420
A moment ago, you said I was crazy. Tomorrow we'll
1054
00:59:50.460 --> 00:59:51.179
see about that.
1055
00:59:51.340 --> 00:59:52.780
Don't touch that!
1056
00:59:58.210 --> 01:00:02.679
I'm sorry, Doctor, but I insist. Please.
1057
01:00:21.059 --> 01:00:21.360
Dr.
1058
01:00:21.380 --> 01:00:24.219
Bauman, I learned a great deal from you at the
1059
01:00:24.239 --> 01:00:29.280
university about the violet ray, the ultraviolet ray, which you
1060
01:00:29.380 --> 01:00:31.460
said was the highest color in the spectrum.
1061
01:00:33.070 --> 01:00:33.699
You were wrong.
1062
01:00:35.670 --> 01:00:38.849
Here in this machinery, I have gone beyond that.
1063
01:00:41.929 --> 01:00:45.309
I have discovered the great ray that first brought life
1064
01:00:45.369 --> 01:00:46.050
into the world.
1065
01:00:46.570 --> 01:00:48.090
Oh, and your proof?
1066
01:00:49.360 --> 01:00:55.000
Tonight you shall have your proof. At first I experimented
1067
01:00:55.079 --> 01:00:58.619
only with dead animals... and then a human heart which
1068
01:00:58.679 --> 01:01:00.659
I kept beating for three weeks.
1069
01:01:02.400 --> 01:01:03.630
But now....
1070
01:01:04.420 --> 01:01:07.469
I am going to turn that ray on that body...
1071
01:01:07.889 --> 01:01:11.590
and endow it with life. And you really believe that
1072
01:01:11.610 --> 01:01:13.309
you can bring life to the dead?
1073
01:01:14.610 --> 01:01:20.360
That body is not dead. It has never lived. I
1074
01:01:20.559 --> 01:01:21.239
created it.
1075
01:01:22.039 --> 01:01:24.699
I made it with my own hands, from the bodies
1076
01:01:24.800 --> 01:01:27.389
I took from graves, from the gallows, anywhere.
1077
01:01:31.409 --> 01:01:32.690
Go and see for yourself.
1078
01:01:52.360 --> 01:01:57.780
Quite a good scene, isn't it? One man crazy, three
1079
01:01:57.860 --> 01:01:59.389
very sane spectators.
1080
01:02:00.860 --> 01:02:03.949
Yeah, you are kind of crazy. I'm not going to
1081
01:02:04.010 --> 01:02:08.409
lie here. I like that whole one man crazy and
1082
01:02:08.429 --> 01:02:10.730
he's like tapping his chest in the way that he's
1083
01:02:10.750 --> 01:02:16.429
looking at three very sane spectators. Like, honestly, in the
1084
01:02:16.449 --> 01:02:18.510
back of my mind, like I want to hear Tim
1085
01:02:18.550 --> 01:02:21.900
Curry say it. like in like the Rocky horror picture,
1086
01:02:21.960 --> 01:02:25.409
like show type of thing where he's Dr. Frankenfurter. Like,
1087
01:02:25.449 --> 01:02:27.670
I think it'd be really cool if he had ever
1088
01:02:27.849 --> 01:02:30.750
done the role as Victor Frankenstein or Henry Frankenstein or
1089
01:02:30.789 --> 01:02:33.239
whomever Frankenstein you want to be, you know, he could
1090
01:02:33.260 --> 01:02:36.139
have been Joe Frankenstein for all I fucking care. Uh,
1091
01:02:36.440 --> 01:02:39.000
or Frankenstein, if you really wanted to be that, but
1092
01:02:39.019 --> 01:02:44.699
there's only one Frankenstein. Uh, but it's still like, He's
1093
01:02:44.800 --> 01:02:49.469
just trying to, there's a lot of like old, old
1094
01:02:49.530 --> 01:02:52.329
school science mumbo jumbo. And there's always going to be
1095
01:02:52.469 --> 01:02:55.030
old school science mumbo jumbo whenever we do any of
1096
01:02:55.050 --> 01:02:57.849
these type of like really old movies like this. Just
1097
01:02:57.909 --> 01:03:02.519
because that's just what they were like thinking about. Like it's,
1098
01:03:03.179 --> 01:03:07.050
at the same time, it's silly. But it's also kind
1099
01:03:07.090 --> 01:03:10.449
of cool because you didn't know the things that you knew.
1100
01:03:10.889 --> 01:03:15.789
Like everything back then was such something that you didn't
1101
01:03:15.869 --> 01:03:19.690
know exactly what everything was. And you could just make
1102
01:03:19.769 --> 01:03:22.949
up things that people could believe in movies like this
1103
01:03:23.389 --> 01:03:27.460
where it's like, hey, that could really be a thing.
1104
01:03:27.860 --> 01:03:30.440
Like they are experimenting with these types of things and
1105
01:03:30.480 --> 01:03:34.179
they're doing even more. And maybe we will have something similar.
1106
01:03:34.300 --> 01:03:37.980
That's even greater than ultraviolet rays. You know what I'll
1107
01:03:38.019 --> 01:03:43.090
call it? I'll call it the super duper ultraviolet mega ray. Yeah,
1108
01:03:43.230 --> 01:03:46.190
that's what it's going to be. Like, you could make
1109
01:03:46.289 --> 01:03:51.090
shit up like that, and audiences would be thrilled by it.
1110
01:03:51.630 --> 01:03:54.659
And you just can't get away with that shit now. Like,
1111
01:03:54.929 --> 01:04:00.320
audiences are so fucking jaded to stuff. And even, you know,
1112
01:04:00.440 --> 01:04:02.659
us watching an old film like this, you just kind
1113
01:04:02.699 --> 01:04:06.139
of scoff at it because it's silly knowing what we
1114
01:04:06.199 --> 01:04:09.889
know now and thinking about that. But just imagine a
1115
01:04:09.989 --> 01:04:14.050
sci-fi movie, like, or a horror movie like this, just
1116
01:04:14.510 --> 01:04:18.070
making up some, having a line specifically like that. Like,
1117
01:04:18.349 --> 01:04:21.630
they would do something similar, but it would be very subtle.
1118
01:04:21.969 --> 01:04:25.619
And you wouldn't have that type of, like, engrossing type
1119
01:04:25.659 --> 01:04:29.199
of content for this type of movie, because maybe it's
1120
01:04:29.239 --> 01:04:33.460
something that actually could be something because we're still in
1121
01:04:33.500 --> 01:04:37.489
the midst of discovery of discovering new types of science
1122
01:04:37.550 --> 01:04:40.989
and discovering new types of, you know, animals and plant
1123
01:04:41.050 --> 01:04:43.949
life and, and things about the human body that we
1124
01:04:44.030 --> 01:04:48.630
just don't quite understand. And today, you know, discoveries don't
1125
01:04:48.769 --> 01:04:53.179
happen as much. It's more or less perfecting what we've done. Now,
1126
01:04:53.440 --> 01:04:56.000
don't get me wrong. There still are discoveries, and there's
1127
01:04:56.059 --> 01:04:59.800
great discoveries, but it gets down to the microscopic level,
1128
01:04:59.920 --> 01:05:04.599
like how we've discovered different types of diseases and cancers
1129
01:05:04.780 --> 01:05:07.199
and how to treat them and how to prolong people's
1130
01:05:07.260 --> 01:05:10.929
life and do things like that. That's the really amazing stuff,
1131
01:05:10.969 --> 01:05:13.809
that we're able to put stuff into different types of
1132
01:05:13.849 --> 01:05:19.250
medication where before that type of disease or whatever that
1133
01:05:19.269 --> 01:05:22.550
you would have would be almost an automatic death sentence
1134
01:05:23.050 --> 01:05:25.639
once you have it. And now you could still live
1135
01:05:25.699 --> 01:05:28.559
with something like that for years and years and years
1136
01:05:28.639 --> 01:05:33.119
to come. But if you try to talk about light
1137
01:05:33.239 --> 01:05:36.590
rays and a bigger light ray than it actually would be,
1138
01:05:37.030 --> 01:05:40.369
people would just be like, oh, this thing's crap. And
1139
01:05:40.449 --> 01:05:43.150
I don't want to watch this. This thing sucks. It's
1140
01:05:43.190 --> 01:05:45.210
a horrible movie. Let's just throw it away. And I'm
1141
01:05:45.230 --> 01:05:48.010
pretty sure there are other reasons why, too, nowadays that
1142
01:05:48.050 --> 01:05:50.349
people would say something's horrible and not give it a
1143
01:05:50.409 --> 01:05:53.630
fucking chance just because somebody said something else. Or a
1144
01:05:53.730 --> 01:05:57.289
specific person said something else, but I digress from that.
1145
01:05:57.690 --> 01:06:00.650
But it's just, it's kind of cool. It's kind of
1146
01:06:00.670 --> 01:06:03.909
cool to look back on that and not necessarily have
1147
01:06:03.989 --> 01:06:08.429
those similar types of experiences nowadays. Some sci-fi does it,
1148
01:06:08.500 --> 01:06:11.820
but sci-fi is few and far between nowadays. And this
1149
01:06:11.880 --> 01:06:17.599
definitely would categorize more sci-fi horror than anything else. There's
1150
01:06:17.639 --> 01:06:20.139
no aliens or anything like that, but the experiments that
1151
01:06:20.179 --> 01:06:24.070
he's doing are definitely sci-fi. So thunder and lightning begin
1152
01:06:24.130 --> 01:06:27.610
to clap and, you know, shatter the room. And so
1153
01:06:27.750 --> 01:06:30.610
he looks over to Fritz, asks, is everything ready? And
1154
01:06:30.650 --> 01:06:33.400
it's time to test the batteries and to get everything rolling.
1155
01:06:33.800 --> 01:06:36.679
So Victor, Valdman and Elizabeth all sit down in their
1156
01:06:36.699 --> 01:06:41.119
chairs and Frankenstein goes to work as the electricity starts
1157
01:06:41.139 --> 01:06:43.989
going in one of the coolest fucking scenes in all
1158
01:06:44.030 --> 01:06:47.019
of cinema. and watching the Tesla coil in the background
1159
01:06:47.079 --> 01:06:49.389
do what it does, having them go through all the,
1160
01:06:49.400 --> 01:06:52.920
you know, have the lights and wires and them unveiling
1161
01:06:52.980 --> 01:06:56.280
the Frankenstein monster, bringing it up into the air as
1162
01:06:56.380 --> 01:06:59.940
it goes further and further up the tower till eventually
1163
01:07:00.019 --> 01:07:04.820
the lightning strikes and sets everything off. Thus, You know,
1164
01:07:04.940 --> 01:07:08.449
hopefully creating the light. And it's just light that you
1165
01:07:08.530 --> 01:07:11.829
see above. And it's just the way the set design
1166
01:07:11.929 --> 01:07:15.699
is and how magical everything looks in the scene. And,
1167
01:07:15.820 --> 01:07:18.280
you know, you don't necessarily see all of it. It's
1168
01:07:18.340 --> 01:07:22.940
more hearing it and watching people's reactions. But it's still cool. Like,
1169
01:07:23.380 --> 01:07:26.960
I totally enjoy this scene. in the way that it is.
1170
01:07:27.059 --> 01:07:30.139
And then the last thing that you see, of course,
1171
01:07:30.380 --> 01:07:33.699
is the lights stop and then bring the body down
1172
01:07:34.239 --> 01:07:40.159
once everything has basically gone through all the different machinery
1173
01:07:40.239 --> 01:07:43.179
and different electrical components that they have there. And now
1174
01:07:43.380 --> 01:07:46.260
as the body is lowered down to the ground, we're
1175
01:07:46.280 --> 01:07:49.179
going to find out, did the experiment work? And as
1176
01:07:49.260 --> 01:07:52.460
we slowly pan over to the hand of the Frankenstein
1177
01:07:52.500 --> 01:07:56.170
monster that's there, it starts to move, and we get
1178
01:07:56.630 --> 01:08:00.900
the best lines in all of cinema. These are some
1179
01:08:00.940 --> 01:08:02.739
of the best lines that are there. Now, one of
1180
01:08:02.800 --> 01:08:06.219
them is very iconic, and the other one was the
1181
01:08:06.360 --> 01:08:08.400
one that they tried to take out of the film
1182
01:08:08.480 --> 01:08:11.420
that was kept into it, which, in my mind, is
1183
01:08:11.599 --> 01:08:15.659
one of the best lines in all of cinema. I
1184
01:08:15.900 --> 01:08:20.279
love the way that it's given, and I love the
1185
01:08:20.380 --> 01:08:23.199
idea behind it that we get out of here where
1186
01:08:23.640 --> 01:08:26.680
You know, this is what it's like to be God.
1187
01:08:26.699 --> 01:08:35.989
Luke, it's moving. It's alive.
1188
01:08:36.630 --> 01:08:41.210
It's alive. It's alive.
1189
01:08:41.270 --> 01:08:41.989
It's alive.
1190
01:08:42.069 --> 01:08:43.130
It's alive.
1191
01:08:43.489 --> 01:08:43.810
It's alive.
1192
01:08:44.069 --> 01:08:45.069
It's alive.
1193
01:08:45.170 --> 01:08:46.090
It's alive.
1194
01:08:46.130 --> 01:08:47.329
In the name of God.
1195
01:08:47.489 --> 01:08:50.449
Now I know what it feels like to be God.
1196
01:08:52.210 --> 01:08:56.560
It's just, it's fucking cool. Like, I don't know what
1197
01:08:56.619 --> 01:08:58.640
else to say, It just the way that it is
1198
01:08:58.699 --> 01:09:01.149
and how he he's looking around the room and how
1199
01:09:01.210 --> 01:09:04.630
it starts off with that small little build. It's alive.
1200
01:09:05.430 --> 01:09:09.390
It's alive. And he's just getting even more and more like.
1201
01:09:10.119 --> 01:09:14.649
happiness and excitedness in it and that his experiments actually
1202
01:09:14.729 --> 01:09:16.869
worked and he did what he said he was going
1203
01:09:16.909 --> 01:09:20.510
to do and what he created actually did work. And
1204
01:09:20.529 --> 01:09:23.750
it brought something back to life, something that he made
1205
01:09:23.829 --> 01:09:26.510
with his own hands. And it just builds to the
1206
01:09:26.550 --> 01:09:32.590
crescendo of it's alive. It's alive. And it, just get that,
1207
01:09:32.789 --> 01:09:36.460
that tingly feeling in your body when you see this.
1208
01:09:36.739 --> 01:09:38.979
And especially when you see it for the first time,
1209
01:09:39.319 --> 01:09:42.989
because you don't know exactly what, what's going to happen
1210
01:09:43.029 --> 01:09:45.739
here and what experiment he's doing and how he's doing it.
1211
01:09:45.850 --> 01:09:46.010
Right.
1212
01:09:46.380 --> 01:09:49.539
You know, the tale of Frankenstein, you know, especially for
1213
01:09:49.680 --> 01:09:52.199
us in, in this day and age, we've heard this
1214
01:09:52.239 --> 01:09:56.020
story so many times and it's been mimicked in different ways.
1215
01:09:56.359 --> 01:09:59.010
And we've had this line given out, but to see
1216
01:09:59.060 --> 01:10:02.109
this as a kid for the very first time and
1217
01:10:02.250 --> 01:10:06.270
just the, the awe in what he's done. And I'm
1218
01:10:06.310 --> 01:10:08.170
going to admit it too, because when I was a kid,
1219
01:10:08.329 --> 01:10:11.609
like this was my favorite part of this movie was
1220
01:10:11.869 --> 01:10:16.279
the bringing Frankenstein's monster to life. And, But the rest
1221
01:10:16.300 --> 01:10:19.090
of the film, I was just kind of always like, eh, on.
1222
01:10:19.609 --> 01:10:23.869
But I really admire it now more than I did
1223
01:10:23.949 --> 01:10:26.329
as when I was younger. And that's part of the
1224
01:10:26.390 --> 01:10:29.060
joy of going back to these old films is I
1225
01:10:29.069 --> 01:10:31.000
can always look of when I saw them. Like the
1226
01:10:31.060 --> 01:10:33.640
joy of watching is watching it with my grandfather. That
1227
01:10:33.960 --> 01:10:36.220
was always going to be the joy. And that was
1228
01:10:36.300 --> 01:10:38.779
in sitting there with my sister, my grandmother, my grandfather watching.
1229
01:10:39.729 --> 01:10:42.949
and watching these old movies. And every now and then, maybe,
1230
01:10:42.970 --> 01:10:45.810
you know, if my uncle was around, or, you know,
1231
01:10:46.029 --> 01:10:48.689
if my cousins happened to be there, and we were
1232
01:10:48.810 --> 01:10:51.210
watching something, but I don't remember if they ever remember
1233
01:10:51.270 --> 01:10:53.470
watching any of these with us. And I think the
1234
01:10:53.529 --> 01:10:55.600
only one that maybe we watched together might have been
1235
01:10:55.609 --> 01:10:58.880
the creature from the Black Lagoon, or I always forget
1236
01:10:58.909 --> 01:11:02.880
what my uncle calls it. It's like the monster from
1237
01:11:02.920 --> 01:11:05.500
the swamp or some shit like that. I'm pretty sure that,
1238
01:11:05.800 --> 01:11:09.100
you know, Paranormal Pat will correct me on exactly what
1239
01:11:09.140 --> 01:11:12.800
it is. But, you know, it's one of those things.
1240
01:11:12.859 --> 01:11:18.180
But this, it's that memory that's stronger than the film.
1241
01:11:18.500 --> 01:11:21.859
And nowadays, the film is just as good as the memory.
1242
01:11:22.340 --> 01:11:24.939
And I'll always have the memory. But watching these movies
1243
01:11:25.020 --> 01:11:28.319
back and seeing these scenes and how they culminate with
1244
01:11:28.380 --> 01:11:32.619
each other, it just brings this warmness to my heart. Now,
1245
01:11:32.989 --> 01:11:35.550
there's one of these movies that I actually never watched
1246
01:11:35.649 --> 01:11:38.109
with him. And we only watched kind of like the...
1247
01:11:38.619 --> 01:11:41.489
I would say the main monsters, the ones that everybody
1248
01:11:41.569 --> 01:11:43.170
kind of remembers because one of them kind of gets
1249
01:11:43.210 --> 01:11:47.430
thrown off into... Because he's not really a monster per se, right?
1250
01:11:47.550 --> 01:11:50.510
He's a monster, but he's not a monster. And you
1251
01:11:50.550 --> 01:11:54.069
just don't remember him as much as you do everybody else.
1252
01:11:54.090 --> 01:11:56.140
I actually kind of think the Gill Man took his place,
1253
01:11:56.460 --> 01:12:00.039
to be honest with you. Which, for some, might be great.
1254
01:12:00.100 --> 01:12:03.560
But the ones that we would all watch together, I'm
1255
01:12:03.600 --> 01:12:08.079
basically covering them except for the one. But nonetheless... So
1256
01:12:08.319 --> 01:12:12.880
the monster has been brought to life and he is ecstatic.
1257
01:12:13.380 --> 01:12:16.279
And we fade over to the next morning where Elizabeth
1258
01:12:16.319 --> 01:12:19.189
and Victor have gone back and there's a long section.
1259
01:12:19.270 --> 01:12:22.250
And I debated thoroughly whether or not to include this
1260
01:12:22.310 --> 01:12:25.189
in the film. And I decided, or in the review,
1261
01:12:25.630 --> 01:12:27.270
not in the film, I didn't have any hand in
1262
01:12:27.329 --> 01:12:29.289
filming this thing. It would be hilarious if I did.
1263
01:12:29.369 --> 01:12:31.970
Somehow I went back in time, decided to show up
1264
01:12:31.989 --> 01:12:33.840
and be like, Hey, this is exactly how you're going
1265
01:12:33.850 --> 01:12:36.260
to do it. You're going to cast these people, you know, uh,
1266
01:12:37.170 --> 01:12:39.010
our friend Legosi, he's going to want to do it.
1267
01:12:39.029 --> 01:12:40.899
But if you make the monster like this, he won't
1268
01:12:40.939 --> 01:12:42.060
do it. And that way you're going to get this
1269
01:12:42.119 --> 01:12:44.920
great actor called Boris Karloff, and he's going to do
1270
01:12:44.960 --> 01:12:46.760
this film. And they'd all look at me, who the
1271
01:12:46.939 --> 01:12:49.039
fuck are you? And what's up with those goddamn clothes?
1272
01:12:49.060 --> 01:12:51.819
You fucking weirdo. And why the hell is a Mexican
1273
01:12:51.840 --> 01:12:54.140
man talking to us anyway? And then I'd have to
1274
01:12:54.199 --> 01:12:56.960
run for my life, but that might be something different,
1275
01:12:57.260 --> 01:13:00.970
but nonetheless. So I thought about excluding this or including
1276
01:13:01.020 --> 01:13:03.869
it within the pod. And ultimately I thought to exclude
1277
01:13:03.890 --> 01:13:07.680
it because I don't think that it's, it's worth it
1278
01:13:07.720 --> 01:13:10.640
enough for the length of it to really what's going
1279
01:13:10.720 --> 01:13:14.159
on here. But it's the introduction of Henry's father and
1280
01:13:14.460 --> 01:13:16.819
he wants to know exactly where his son is and
1281
01:13:16.880 --> 01:13:20.680
what's going on. And he's very like worried about, you know,
1282
01:13:20.699 --> 01:13:22.800
the marriage that's because it's supposed to be a wedding
1283
01:13:22.840 --> 01:13:24.890
that's happening. The whole town is getting ready for the
1284
01:13:24.930 --> 01:13:28.569
wearing and the burgo master is coming over, bringing flowers
1285
01:13:28.630 --> 01:13:30.569
over for Elizabeth and trying to get the wedding. And
1286
01:13:30.609 --> 01:13:32.989
he's trying to get his son back. And it's kind
1287
01:13:33.029 --> 01:13:35.850
of the comic relief. To be honest, this is the
1288
01:13:35.909 --> 01:13:37.829
part that I call the comic relief, but it's not
1289
01:13:37.869 --> 01:13:41.050
really the comic relief. The character is silly, but it's
1290
01:13:41.109 --> 01:13:44.479
not like Martin in The Last and Dracula, where that's
1291
01:13:44.529 --> 01:13:48.520
more ha-ha funny, and there really isn't a ha-ha funny moment.
1292
01:13:48.960 --> 01:13:51.199
There is one, but I think, again, it's part of
1293
01:13:51.220 --> 01:13:55.500
the times, which I did include in this. But overall,
1294
01:13:55.579 --> 01:13:59.039
it's basically just him talking to Victor and Elizabeth, him
1295
01:13:59.100 --> 01:14:01.390
trying to figure out where his son is, believes that
1296
01:14:01.430 --> 01:14:04.010
his son may be cheating on Elizabeth, and that he's
1297
01:14:04.029 --> 01:14:05.529
going to go after and he's going to bring his
1298
01:14:05.550 --> 01:14:08.250
son back because there's no reason why his son, who's,
1299
01:14:08.369 --> 01:14:11.090
you know, the son of a famous baron out here,
1300
01:14:11.409 --> 01:14:14.380
should be in a ratty old windmill up on the hill.
1301
01:14:14.739 --> 01:14:16.720
So he's going to go set him straight and bring
1302
01:14:16.779 --> 01:14:19.960
his son home. Literally, that's all the scene is. And
1303
01:14:20.020 --> 01:14:23.140
it's like a almost three-minute scene that we have here.
1304
01:14:23.539 --> 01:14:26.050
And while it's good and it's fine for what it is,
1305
01:14:26.119 --> 01:14:29.350
it's just not worth it to put it in the podcast. So,
1306
01:14:29.949 --> 01:14:31.890
We have this, and then we go back up onto
1307
01:14:31.909 --> 01:14:35.430
the hill, and we see that Valdman and, you know, Frankenstein,
1308
01:14:35.550 --> 01:14:38.729
they're talking, sitting at the table, discussing the work that
1309
01:14:38.770 --> 01:14:42.289
he's done, and, you know, Frankie over here, he's very
1310
01:14:42.390 --> 01:14:45.170
full of himself, and the doctor is very worried, and
1311
01:14:45.229 --> 01:14:47.810
he's more or less, like, happy, look, I did this,
1312
01:14:48.350 --> 01:14:51.289
I'm great, I did exactly what I said I was
1313
01:14:51.350 --> 01:14:54.010
gonna do, you guys didn't believe in me, called me crazy,
1314
01:14:54.170 --> 01:14:57.649
and I'm not the fucking crazy one because it actually worked.
1315
01:14:58.220 --> 01:14:58.439
Right.
1316
01:14:58.770 --> 01:15:01.819
But the doctor is more worried about what he's created
1317
01:15:02.220 --> 01:15:05.579
and the fact that, you know, the brain that is
1318
01:15:05.920 --> 01:15:09.779
in that monster over there. If you got the brain
1319
01:15:09.819 --> 01:15:12.579
that I'm thinking about, it's not the brain that you
1320
01:15:12.779 --> 01:15:15.489
think it is. And in fact, what was stolen from
1321
01:15:15.529 --> 01:15:19.630
my lab happens to be an abnormal criminal brain. And
1322
01:15:19.689 --> 01:15:22.770
you might have just created a huge fucking monster. Now,
1323
01:15:23.310 --> 01:15:25.090
I'm going to play the clip that is going to
1324
01:15:25.109 --> 01:15:27.010
explain that. And I do want to say one point
1325
01:15:27.229 --> 01:15:30.109
in this, because when he does tell him about the brain,
1326
01:15:30.289 --> 01:15:33.479
there is like a what feels like a 20 second pause.
1327
01:15:33.939 --> 01:15:36.899
That is just dead air that happens in here. And
1328
01:15:36.939 --> 01:15:39.600
I shorten it up to like two seconds. So that
1329
01:15:39.659 --> 01:15:42.859
way we're not listening to 20 seconds of absolutely nothing
1330
01:15:42.939 --> 01:15:46.170
that's in there. but it's a good reaction scene that
1331
01:15:46.970 --> 01:15:49.869
Henry has to that as he realizes that the brain
1332
01:15:49.909 --> 01:15:52.909
that's inside might not actually be a normal brain and
1333
01:15:52.930 --> 01:15:55.909
it might be from a one Abbey normal that we
1334
01:15:55.949 --> 01:16:00.050
have over here. So you have to use your imagination
1335
01:16:00.590 --> 01:16:03.350
in realizing that that's what's going on as it jumps
1336
01:16:03.550 --> 01:16:05.729
really quick over to him talking again.
1337
01:16:06.289 --> 01:16:07.850
Come and sit down, Doctor.
1338
01:16:09.090 --> 01:16:12.789
You must be patient. Do you expect perfection at once?
1339
01:16:14.079 --> 01:16:17.779
This creature of yours should be kept under guard. Mark
1340
01:16:17.819 --> 01:16:22.319
my words, he will prove dangerous. Dangerous?
1341
01:16:23.979 --> 01:16:30.680
Poor old bowman. Have you never wanted to do anything
1342
01:16:30.699 --> 01:16:34.479
that was dangerous? Where should we be if nobody tried
1343
01:16:34.500 --> 01:16:38.199
to find out what lies beyond? You never wanted to
1344
01:16:38.239 --> 01:16:41.560
look beyond the clouds and the stars? Or to know
1345
01:16:41.619 --> 01:16:45.189
what causes the trees to bud? And what changes a
1346
01:16:45.229 --> 01:16:51.899
darkness into light? But if you talk like that, people
1347
01:16:52.000 --> 01:16:58.239
call you crazy. Well, if I could discover just one
1348
01:16:58.279 --> 01:17:03.539
of these things, what eternity is, for example, I wouldn't
1349
01:17:03.939 --> 01:17:07.930
care if they did think I was crazy. You're young,
1350
01:17:07.989 --> 01:17:12.369
my friend. Your success has intoxicated you. Wake up and
1351
01:17:12.409 --> 01:17:16.149
look facts in the face. Here we have a fiend
1352
01:17:16.409 --> 01:17:19.619
whose brain... Whose brain must be given time to develop.
1353
01:17:20.739 --> 01:17:24.359
It's a perfectly good brain, Doctor. Well, you ought to know.
1354
01:17:24.920 --> 01:17:26.600
It came from your own laboratory.
1355
01:17:27.880 --> 01:17:31.260
The brain that was stolen from my laboratory was a
1356
01:17:31.359 --> 01:17:32.039
criminal brain.
1357
01:17:34.819 --> 01:17:37.869
Oh, well, after all, it's only a piece of dead tissue.
1358
01:17:38.930 --> 01:17:39.630
Only....
1359
01:17:41.220 --> 01:17:44.060
Your health will be ruined if you persist in this madness.
1360
01:17:44.359 --> 01:17:49.100
I'm astonishingly sane, Doctor. You have created a monster and
1361
01:17:49.159 --> 01:17:50.119
it will destroy you.
1362
01:17:50.659 --> 01:17:52.159
Patience, patience.
1363
01:17:53.560 --> 01:17:56.609
I believe in this monster, as you call it. And
1364
01:17:56.649 --> 01:17:59.710
if you don't, well, you must leave me alone. But
1365
01:17:59.729 --> 01:18:04.750
think of Elizabeth, your father. Elizabeth believes in me. My
1366
01:18:04.850 --> 01:18:11.460
father never believes in anyone. I've got to experiment further.
1367
01:18:12.439 --> 01:18:15.840
He's only a few days old, remember? So far, he's
1368
01:18:15.880 --> 01:18:19.619
been kept in complete darkness. Wait till I bring him
1369
01:18:19.659 --> 01:18:20.220
into the light.
1370
01:18:21.220 --> 01:18:24.079
And then who decides to show up? Why the good
1371
01:18:24.140 --> 01:18:26.260
old monster? He just shows up out of the middle
1372
01:18:26.279 --> 01:18:30.229
of nowhere, and he's been wandering around the castle because, like,
1373
01:18:30.800 --> 01:18:33.119
They turn out the lights basically to keep him in
1374
01:18:33.159 --> 01:18:36.819
the dark further. And the way that, you know, Waldman
1375
01:18:36.859 --> 01:18:41.050
talks to Frankenstein here is absolutely true because he's just
1376
01:18:41.170 --> 01:18:44.939
drunk on his own success. He thinks that he's done it.
1377
01:18:45.329 --> 01:18:47.510
And that's, you know, which he has done it.
1378
01:18:47.689 --> 01:18:47.890
Right.
1379
01:18:48.270 --> 01:18:51.300
But like, he's the greatest scientist. known to man and
1380
01:18:51.520 --> 01:18:56.180
oh okay well you say it's a criminal brain well
1381
01:18:56.960 --> 01:19:00.050
that can't be that bad right it's just it's dead
1382
01:19:00.130 --> 01:19:03.310
tissue i brought this guy here you know i brought
1383
01:19:03.350 --> 01:19:06.590
him back to life and it's gonna have time and
1384
01:19:06.649 --> 01:19:09.649
it's gonna grow it's It's not just going to go
1385
01:19:09.770 --> 01:19:14.890
randomly killing people and throwing little girls into ponds and
1386
01:19:14.949 --> 01:19:18.680
drowning them or, you know, throwing me off place. It's
1387
01:19:18.720 --> 01:19:21.479
not going to do any of that. It's just going
1388
01:19:21.500 --> 01:19:24.819
to be like a child. It's going to understand me.
1389
01:19:25.140 --> 01:19:28.439
It's going to learn to grow and be a better
1390
01:19:28.600 --> 01:19:30.920
person than it is. And maybe one of these days,
1391
01:19:31.380 --> 01:19:34.100
you know, I can teach you to dance. It can
1392
01:19:34.140 --> 01:19:37.119
put on the Ritz. we don't know what the Ritz is,
1393
01:19:37.220 --> 01:19:39.500
but it could put it on. Maybe it's going to
1394
01:19:39.579 --> 01:19:42.939
do the waltz or, or what's that new dance that
1395
01:19:43.000 --> 01:19:47.270
all the kids are craving about nowadays. Is it the ballet?
1396
01:19:47.609 --> 01:19:51.130
It could do ballet. Like, come on, man. Maybe one
1397
01:19:51.170 --> 01:19:53.729
day it'll play like the hottest tunes of the day.
1398
01:19:53.750 --> 01:19:54.569
All right.
1399
01:19:54.689 --> 01:19:57.340
It's going to play some like, you know, mozart or
1400
01:19:57.380 --> 01:20:00.579
some some shit like that or maybe it'll create something
1401
01:20:00.779 --> 01:20:03.760
even better i heard there's this thing that maybe uh
1402
01:20:03.859 --> 01:20:06.520
it's like rock and or roll that might be coming
1403
01:20:06.619 --> 01:20:08.239
out in a couple years and maybe it's going to
1404
01:20:08.279 --> 01:20:11.369
discover how to do that you never know criminal brain
1405
01:20:11.850 --> 01:20:16.119
jesus christ You know, you're full of shit, Valdman. That's it.
1406
01:20:16.449 --> 01:20:18.989
I've said it. I'm the best scientist in the world.
1407
01:20:19.409 --> 01:20:22.630
I should be teaching your class and telling them everything
1408
01:20:22.670 --> 01:20:25.449
that you taught them was wrong because I brought this
1409
01:20:25.510 --> 01:20:28.520
thing back to life. And this is also the very
1410
01:20:28.560 --> 01:20:31.340
first time that we get the reveal of what the
1411
01:20:31.380 --> 01:20:35.229
monster looks like, right? And it's a good reveal. I
1412
01:20:35.270 --> 01:20:37.949
like the way that it's done because the door opens
1413
01:20:38.109 --> 01:20:40.729
and it's just the back to the monster. And then
1414
01:20:40.869 --> 01:20:44.229
we see the monster actually turn around and we get
1415
01:20:44.250 --> 01:20:46.310
a good look at the face and we see the
1416
01:20:46.630 --> 01:20:49.430
eyes and the kind of like deadness that's behind the eyes.
1417
01:20:49.909 --> 01:20:53.960
And it's both... deadness and like a little bit of
1418
01:20:54.239 --> 01:20:58.800
curiosity like of of childhood and youth at the same
1419
01:20:58.859 --> 01:21:01.720
time like it is a child that's just been born
1420
01:21:02.100 --> 01:21:05.039
and doesn't realize what's going on even though it has
1421
01:21:05.079 --> 01:21:09.060
a working brain is it the original brain or has
1422
01:21:09.119 --> 01:21:13.079
something happened with it where it's generating its own memories
1423
01:21:13.199 --> 01:21:15.859
or does it slowly start to remember the man it
1424
01:21:16.000 --> 01:21:19.010
used to be and I think it's more the former
1425
01:21:19.170 --> 01:21:22.489
than the latter, though maybe the latter could happen if
1426
01:21:22.810 --> 01:21:27.140
time gave itself to it, like, you know, as it grew.
1427
01:21:27.159 --> 01:21:30.600
Because it's only been a couple of days, a few days,
1428
01:21:30.680 --> 01:21:34.300
according to Victor Frankenstein, or Henry Frankenstein. I keep saying
1429
01:21:34.500 --> 01:21:37.270
Victor fucking Frankenstein. It's Henry for this movie.
1430
01:21:37.689 --> 01:21:37.810
But.
1431
01:21:38.430 --> 01:21:41.600
Nonetheless, so he brings the monster to the room along
1432
01:21:41.640 --> 01:21:45.039
with Valdman and has him follow him and eventually has
1433
01:21:45.079 --> 01:21:48.109
him go over to a chair to which he sits down.
1434
01:21:48.409 --> 01:21:52.010
And he understands what he's saying and... Again, I think
1435
01:21:52.069 --> 01:21:56.170
that the monster design is really good. It doesn't look
1436
01:21:56.409 --> 01:21:58.729
as bad as you would think it would. The makeup
1437
01:21:58.789 --> 01:22:02.100
does look pretty damn good for its time. And, you know,
1438
01:22:02.260 --> 01:22:04.899
I love the way that Boris Karloff moves around as
1439
01:22:04.939 --> 01:22:08.699
the monster. He's very slow and methodical, especially in this
1440
01:22:08.739 --> 01:22:11.960
scene here. And he kind of like leans forward just
1441
01:22:12.039 --> 01:22:15.779
a little bit as he walks, slowly kind of dragging
1442
01:22:15.819 --> 01:22:19.619
his feet. And it's very intimidating. And for an audience as,
1443
01:22:19.920 --> 01:22:24.760
you know, old as 1931 would be, it's pretty, you know,
1444
01:22:25.039 --> 01:22:28.909
intense for revealing this type of creature at this time.
1445
01:22:30.079 --> 01:22:32.439
He sits him down into a chair in the darkness
1446
01:22:32.479 --> 01:22:34.890
and then he opens up one of the skylights to
1447
01:22:35.050 --> 01:22:38.810
actually give him a taste of the outside world and
1448
01:22:38.829 --> 01:22:41.170
to actually be in the light for a moment.
1449
01:22:41.670 --> 01:22:41.739
And.
1450
01:22:42.350 --> 01:22:44.979
I love the look on the monster's face as he's
1451
01:22:45.060 --> 01:22:47.880
looking around and he's slowly looking up towards the light
1452
01:22:47.939 --> 01:22:50.100
and he almost gets like a smile on his face
1453
01:22:50.500 --> 01:22:53.479
and he stands up and he reaches his arms out
1454
01:22:53.539 --> 01:22:56.399
towards the light and it's like he's trying to grab
1455
01:22:56.460 --> 01:22:59.409
it and he's just getting more and more excited of
1456
01:22:59.529 --> 01:23:03.609
seeing the outside world to which they have to calm
1457
01:23:03.649 --> 01:23:06.909
him down and put him back into the darkness and
1458
01:23:06.970 --> 01:23:11.600
have him brought back under control. And just the face
1459
01:23:11.720 --> 01:23:14.460
that he makes to as like, he reaches up and
1460
01:23:14.539 --> 01:23:16.659
as they close the light down, because Valdman tells him
1461
01:23:16.680 --> 01:23:19.020
to close the light. And then all of a sudden
1462
01:23:19.060 --> 01:23:22.260
he starts like looking disappointed as he looks towards his father,
1463
01:23:22.319 --> 01:23:25.359
reaching out his hands. And he's just like, what the
1464
01:23:25.420 --> 01:23:27.479
fuck did you do? I was enjoying that shit. I
1465
01:23:27.520 --> 01:23:30.420
haven't seen sunlight in ever. I don't even know what
1466
01:23:30.439 --> 01:23:32.340
the fuck sunlight is. And then you show it to
1467
01:23:32.380 --> 01:23:35.050
me here. And so he tells him to go sit
1468
01:23:35.090 --> 01:23:37.689
back down and he goes and sits back down, but
1469
01:23:37.729 --> 01:23:39.909
he has his hands out and he's just kind of like,
1470
01:23:40.479 --> 01:23:44.229
waving them and he understands you know basically frankenstein's like
1471
01:23:44.649 --> 01:23:48.239
he understands time and everything's great and then fritz comes
1472
01:23:48.319 --> 01:23:51.300
in with a goddamn torch that's lit on fire and
1473
01:23:51.359 --> 01:23:54.029
scares the living shit out of the monster Fire!
1474
01:23:54.260 --> 01:23:54.979
Bad!
1475
01:23:55.159 --> 01:23:55.579
Fire!
1476
01:23:55.739 --> 01:23:56.159
No!
1477
01:23:56.180 --> 01:23:58.279
I don't want to see the fire! And so it
1478
01:23:58.300 --> 01:24:01.420
starts kind of going crazy, and it starts going after Fritz,
1479
01:24:01.500 --> 01:24:04.960
trying to attack him, and then as Frankenstein and Valdman
1480
01:24:05.000 --> 01:24:07.279
try to hold him back, it starts attacking them both,
1481
01:24:07.600 --> 01:24:10.430
till eventually Valdman gets behind him and karate chops him
1482
01:24:10.470 --> 01:24:14.270
in the back of the neck, knocking Frankenstein onto the ground,
1483
01:24:14.350 --> 01:24:17.029
the monster onto the ground, and Fritz goes and gets
1484
01:24:17.050 --> 01:24:18.750
a rope to tie him up, so that way they
1485
01:24:18.770 --> 01:24:21.529
can take him back stairs down into the dungeon. Like
1486
01:24:21.670 --> 01:24:25.020
he's literally been allowed to see sunlight for two fucking seconds.
1487
01:24:25.380 --> 01:24:27.699
And then he gets scared shitless by fire. And you're
1488
01:24:27.720 --> 01:24:30.090
going to karate chop the motherfucker in the back of
1489
01:24:30.130 --> 01:24:32.699
the neck. Like, come on, dude, that is kind of rude.
1490
01:24:32.880 --> 01:24:36.220
I get it. You know, big giant guy. You decided
1491
01:24:36.239 --> 01:24:38.560
to make somebody that was like six foot tall, not
1492
01:24:38.619 --> 01:24:40.899
something that you could actually fucking deal with. Like you
1493
01:24:40.939 --> 01:24:43.460
need to make him like five foot three. So that
1494
01:24:43.520 --> 01:24:45.880
way that you just kind of like hold your hand
1495
01:24:45.979 --> 01:24:47.859
out and hold it against his head when he tries
1496
01:24:47.880 --> 01:24:52.399
to come after you. That's right. Can't touch me, motherfucker.
1497
01:24:52.420 --> 01:24:57.100
You too short. Yeah. Okay. See, I do a really
1498
01:24:57.119 --> 01:25:01.109
good Frankenstein voice doing it. yeah you think so yeah
1499
01:25:01.149 --> 01:25:03.289
keep wailing your arms you think you can grab me
1500
01:25:03.350 --> 01:25:05.869
and like don't give him all the muscles and everything
1501
01:25:05.930 --> 01:25:09.149
that's there like you want to make the I guess
1502
01:25:09.409 --> 01:25:12.600
perfect man or something like that but I don't know
1503
01:25:13.020 --> 01:25:15.479
so they go downstairs they put him back into the
1504
01:25:15.539 --> 01:25:19.659
dungeon and you know Fritz is there whipping the shit
1505
01:25:19.760 --> 01:25:22.180
out of him at this point he's chained the fuck
1506
01:25:22.359 --> 01:25:25.159
up now down there Fritz why you gotta be a
1507
01:25:25.199 --> 01:25:29.609
dick I don't get it like I really don't get
1508
01:25:29.750 --> 01:25:32.510
why Fritz is the way that he is. And this
1509
01:25:32.590 --> 01:25:34.649
is another thing that does kind of irk me about
1510
01:25:34.689 --> 01:25:38.609
the movie is that they never really explained why Fritz
1511
01:25:38.710 --> 01:25:41.609
might want to have some type of like grudge against him.
1512
01:25:42.010 --> 01:25:45.590
Maybe because now he's become the master's favorite and Fritz
1513
01:25:45.789 --> 01:25:48.770
isn't the master's favorite at this current moment in time.
1514
01:25:49.210 --> 01:25:52.109
But eventually, you know, who else is going to get
1515
01:25:52.149 --> 01:25:55.130
more bodies for Frankenstein? Who else is going to find
1516
01:25:55.170 --> 01:25:58.470
another Abby normal brain that's over there? Like, Am I
1517
01:25:58.510 --> 01:26:02.250
saying that wrong? Hey, hey, you over there. Yeah, goddamn it.
1518
01:26:02.229 --> 01:26:04.619
You know this new producer is just fucking lazy. All
1519
01:26:04.659 --> 01:26:06.739
he does is lay on the goddamn bed and farts
1520
01:26:06.779 --> 01:26:09.720
all the goddamn time and stinks up the goddamn room.
1521
01:26:10.220 --> 01:26:12.439
Are you going to do your job? It's Abbey normal,
1522
01:26:12.500 --> 01:26:12.770
isn't it?
1523
01:26:13.920 --> 01:26:14.119
No?
1524
01:26:15.020 --> 01:26:16.960
No, it's not? I'm a fuck... It's Ab.
1525
01:26:19.619 --> 01:26:19.819
Oh!
1526
01:26:20.600 --> 01:26:24.539
Oh, that makes a lot more sense. It's abnormal. It's
1527
01:26:24.579 --> 01:26:29.430
an abnormal brain. Oh man, now I feel like an idiot. Ah, Fritz,
1528
01:26:29.479 --> 01:26:31.989
I shouldn't have called you an idiot before. Well, you're
1529
01:26:32.010 --> 01:26:34.909
still an idiot because you're antagonizing fucking Frankenstein over there.
1530
01:26:34.930 --> 01:26:36.960
It's like if I went to the producer, gave him
1531
01:26:37.000 --> 01:26:38.779
a bone, and then took it away real fast, and
1532
01:26:38.800 --> 01:26:40.340
then gave it to him again, then took it away
1533
01:26:40.399 --> 01:26:42.399
real fast. And then waved it in front of his
1534
01:26:42.439 --> 01:26:44.880
face and be like, oh, you want this? You want this?
1535
01:26:45.199 --> 01:26:46.770
And then he's looking at me like, yeah, I want
1536
01:26:46.810 --> 01:26:48.600
that motherfucker. And if you don't give it to me
1537
01:26:48.649 --> 01:26:50.449
right now, I'm going to bite your fucking hand for
1538
01:26:50.489 --> 01:26:52.609
that shit. And I'm like, okay, come on, come and
1539
01:26:52.649 --> 01:26:54.170
get it. And then when I try to take it
1540
01:26:54.210 --> 01:26:56.569
away real fast, he gets pissed off and then goes
1541
01:26:56.590 --> 01:26:58.909
ahead and attacks me. But luckily, he and I have
1542
01:26:58.949 --> 01:27:01.350
a very good working relationship and he wouldn't attack me
1543
01:27:01.409 --> 01:27:04.630
over a goddamn bone. At least, I don't think he would.
1544
01:27:05.170 --> 01:27:08.670
But he's still a better producer than the last guy, so...
1545
01:27:09.279 --> 01:27:11.319
I'm going to keep him hired for the time being.
1546
01:27:11.380 --> 01:27:15.140
And he's definitely a lot cheaper. So Frankenstein gets mad
1547
01:27:15.180 --> 01:27:18.470
at Fritz because he's basically trying to whip his ass, right?
1548
01:27:18.909 --> 01:27:20.750
And takes the whip away from him and tells him,
1549
01:27:20.829 --> 01:27:24.439
leave him the hell alone. Just leave fucking the monster
1550
01:27:24.520 --> 01:27:27.119
alone and come on, come with me and let's go.
1551
01:27:27.699 --> 01:27:30.439
And so he leaves and then Fritz goes and grabs
1552
01:27:30.479 --> 01:27:33.439
the fucking torch and starts wailing the torch at him.
1553
01:27:33.899 --> 01:27:37.930
And as Frankenstein and Waldman are upstairs, they hear screams
1554
01:27:38.020 --> 01:27:42.329
coming from below, which happens to be the end of Fritz.
1555
01:27:42.350 --> 01:27:46.449
Listen, what's that?
1556
01:27:46.869 --> 01:28:05.439
What's that? Come on, doctor, quick, hurry.
1557
01:28:05.979 --> 01:28:06.300
Come on.
1558
01:28:31.880 --> 01:28:32.569
Oh, I can't do this.
1559
01:28:32.060 --> 01:28:36.020
She hated Fritz. Fritz always tormented him.
1560
01:28:50.649 --> 01:28:52.880
Come pull yourself together.
1561
01:28:52.920 --> 01:28:53.659
What can we do?
1562
01:28:53.680 --> 01:28:54.220
Kill it.
1563
01:28:54.779 --> 01:28:55.920
As you would any savage animal.
1564
01:28:56.460 --> 01:28:57.560
We must overpower him first.
1565
01:28:58.000 --> 01:29:00.199
Get me a hypodermic needle. It's murder.
1566
01:29:00.220 --> 01:29:01.140
It's our only chance.
1567
01:29:01.640 --> 01:29:02.520
In a few minutes, he'll be.
1568
01:29:02.500 --> 01:29:03.100
Through that door.
1569
01:29:03.319 --> 01:29:04.180
Come, quick, hurry.
1570
01:29:04.899 --> 01:29:08.739
Now, is it really murder? Like, let me be frank here.
1571
01:29:08.760 --> 01:29:10.800
Can we park it here for a second? Is it
1572
01:29:10.859 --> 01:29:17.119
really murder because he's already dead? Like, he was dead once,
1573
01:29:17.960 --> 01:29:21.420
and then he came back to life. And now he's
1574
01:29:21.439 --> 01:29:23.479
going to be dead again? Like, are you thinking that
1575
01:29:23.520 --> 01:29:26.899
because he's alive, that because you're going to kill something
1576
01:29:26.920 --> 01:29:30.500
that's alive, that that automatically means that it's murder when
1577
01:29:30.560 --> 01:29:33.899
it might not in fact actually be murder? I mean,
1578
01:29:33.939 --> 01:29:37.279
it's just something to think about, right? It's a possibility
1579
01:29:37.319 --> 01:29:41.750
that it's murder, but... It might not actually be murder
1580
01:29:42.289 --> 01:29:45.229
in my eyes. I mean, I guess if you save
1581
01:29:45.289 --> 01:29:48.090
somebody's life... But see, that's the same person. This is
1582
01:29:48.170 --> 01:29:53.319
like multiple body parts being put together in somebody's random brain. So....
1583
01:29:54.250 --> 01:29:54.590
No?
1584
01:29:55.710 --> 01:29:58.689
Is that the general consensus around here? What do you think, producer?
1585
01:29:59.539 --> 01:30:02.199
He is wagging his tail. That means he agrees with me.
1586
01:30:02.359 --> 01:30:04.659
And therefore, it is not murder.
1587
01:30:05.119 --> 01:30:05.319
So.
1588
01:30:06.300 --> 01:30:11.239
But, yeah. It's... It's interesting here because they walk downstairs
1589
01:30:11.279 --> 01:30:14.260
and they see that Fritz has been hung inside the cell.
1590
01:30:14.600 --> 01:30:17.880
And as Frankenstein tries to get closer to Fritz's body
1591
01:30:17.920 --> 01:30:20.640
to take him down, the monster just does not want
1592
01:30:20.699 --> 01:30:22.779
him to do it. And he's just like, no, this
1593
01:30:22.859 --> 01:30:29.270
is my work. Mine. Don't do that. I killed him.
1594
01:30:29.289 --> 01:30:34.289
This is mine. I don't know why he does the
1595
01:30:34.329 --> 01:30:38.640
meow type thing for what it is. But nonetheless... So
1596
01:30:38.880 --> 01:30:41.079
they lock him back in the room and they determine
1597
01:30:41.119 --> 01:30:43.420
that the only way, at least Valdman does, the only
1598
01:30:43.460 --> 01:30:46.699
way to stop him because they realize that, hey, he's
1599
01:30:46.739 --> 01:30:48.890
a monster after all. The only thing that we can
1600
01:30:48.930 --> 01:30:52.289
do is we can fucking kill him. So they decide
1601
01:30:52.310 --> 01:30:53.850
that that's what they're going to do. And they go
1602
01:30:53.890 --> 01:30:57.630
get a hypodermic needle from upstairs. And eventually Frankenstein comes
1603
01:30:57.750 --> 01:31:01.350
back with the hypodermic needle and a torch to lure,
1604
01:31:01.510 --> 01:31:04.890
you know, and distract Frankenstein because he still doesn't like
1605
01:31:04.949 --> 01:31:08.789
the fire. As he goes, Valdman goes from behind him
1606
01:31:09.210 --> 01:31:10.970
and tries to stab him in the back of the
1607
01:31:11.130 --> 01:31:13.930
neck with a needle. But of course, Frankenstein is way
1608
01:31:13.970 --> 01:31:17.489
too strong for them. And Frankenstein is able to overpower
1609
01:31:17.529 --> 01:31:21.220
them for just a moment. But eventually, Valdman does manage
1610
01:31:21.239 --> 01:31:23.180
to get the needle in his back and knocks the
1611
01:31:23.220 --> 01:31:26.720
fuck out of Frankenstein. So Frankenstein is there, collapsed on
1612
01:31:26.760 --> 01:31:29.579
the ground. And we see, you know, he does manage
1613
01:31:29.619 --> 01:31:32.319
to attack Valdman, too, throws him to the ground, and
1614
01:31:32.399 --> 01:31:35.100
then gets, like, scared by the fire and tries to
1615
01:31:35.119 --> 01:31:38.310
fight Frankenstein for the actual fire that's there, throws it
1616
01:31:38.369 --> 01:31:41.270
away from him, almost grabs him in like a suplex,
1617
01:31:41.329 --> 01:31:44.449
starts choking the ever-loving shit out of Frankenstein, too, by
1618
01:31:44.489 --> 01:31:47.229
the way, and then before he's able to complete the deed,
1619
01:31:47.550 --> 01:31:50.189
that's when whatever gets injected into the back of Frankenstein
1620
01:31:50.550 --> 01:31:54.680
causes him to collapse. He, like, slowly fades out and
1621
01:31:54.720 --> 01:31:57.939
then falls onto the floor. That's when Victor shows up,
1622
01:31:58.319 --> 01:32:01.819
saying that, hey, guess what? You're gonna have guests very soon.
1623
01:32:02.039 --> 01:32:05.409
Waldman is okay, but Elizabeth and his father are coming
1624
01:32:05.489 --> 01:32:07.510
up there to see him, so they have to grab
1625
01:32:07.550 --> 01:32:10.409
the body and fucking hightail it out of there before
1626
01:32:10.449 --> 01:32:14.189
the father arrives. So they grab the monster's body, drag
1627
01:32:14.229 --> 01:32:18.020
him into the cellar that's there, and Waldman tells Frankenstein
1628
01:32:18.060 --> 01:32:20.239
he needs to clean the blood off his face before
1629
01:32:20.279 --> 01:32:23.340
his father shows up, and that's when his father does
1630
01:32:23.399 --> 01:32:27.100
manage to show up at the door with good old Elizabeth.
1631
01:32:27.439 --> 01:32:29.409
Pretty sort of place for my son to be in,
1632
01:32:29.550 --> 01:32:32.590
I must say. Is that the front door?
1633
01:32:32.609 --> 01:32:34.250
Yes, this is it.
1634
01:32:34.909 --> 01:32:35.399
Well, I.
1635
01:32:35.390 --> 01:32:35.470
I.
1636
01:32:37.029 --> 01:32:46.569
Don't like it, but here goes... There doesn't seem to
1637
01:32:46.609 --> 01:32:51.229
be anybody in the place, son. Oh.
1638
01:32:52.310 --> 01:32:56.430
God.
1639
01:32:56.649 --> 01:32:58.300
What a.
1640
01:32:58.350 --> 01:33:03.439
What a forsaken place here. You're trying to burn it down, eh?
1641
01:33:03.479 --> 01:33:04.420
What's that for, eh?
1642
01:33:04.460 --> 01:33:07.140
What? Well, what's the matter with you? You look as
1643
01:33:07.180 --> 01:33:08.579
if you've been kicked by a horse.
1644
01:33:09.420 --> 01:33:10.140
Where's Henry?
1645
01:33:10.600 --> 01:33:10.800
Why?
1646
01:33:11.260 --> 01:33:11.460
Well.
1647
01:33:12.359 --> 01:33:15.399
He can't be disturbed just now. Oh, can't he? I'll
1648
01:33:15.439 --> 01:33:16.520
soon settle that nonsense.
1649
01:33:17.220 --> 01:33:17.979
Victor, where is he?
1650
01:33:18.600 --> 01:33:21.100
This place seems to drive everybody crazy.
1651
01:33:21.640 --> 01:33:24.119
Heavens, what's that?
1652
01:33:24.840 --> 01:33:25.659
I beg your pardon.
1653
01:33:26.159 --> 01:33:26.600
I am Dr.
1654
01:33:26.720 --> 01:33:27.020
Bosman.
1655
01:33:27.039 --> 01:33:27.859
Oh, are you?
1656
01:33:28.520 --> 01:33:33.039
I'm Baron Frankenstein. Perhaps you know what all this tommy
1657
01:33:33.079 --> 01:33:36.180
rot's about. I'll be shot if I do.
1658
01:33:36.840 --> 01:33:38.590
I would advise you to take Henry away from here
1659
01:33:38.649 --> 01:33:38.939
at once.
1660
01:33:38.970 --> 01:33:41.829
What do you suppose I'm here for? Pleasure? What?
1661
01:33:42.390 --> 01:33:42.649
Nah.
1662
01:33:43.270 --> 01:33:45.789
Yes, where are you, my dear? Oh, there you are.
1663
01:33:46.090 --> 01:33:48.210
Let's go and see what's up the awful stairs. I
1664
01:33:48.210 --> 01:33:50.270
don't know how the deuce I'm going to get out
1665
01:33:50.329 --> 01:33:54.270
of them, but... Ah, you want to be a deuce.
1666
01:33:54.449 --> 01:33:55.399
Leave them alone.
1667
01:33:55.600 --> 01:33:59.979
Yes, like this. No banisters or anything else. God bless
1668
01:34:00.020 --> 01:34:00.420
your soul.
1669
01:34:00.460 --> 01:34:01.100
How much further?
1670
01:34:02.020 --> 01:34:04.069
So it's funny because when I was watching the movie
1671
01:34:04.090 --> 01:34:06.729
the first time, well not the first time, during this time,
1672
01:34:06.750 --> 01:34:09.789
and after they have the struggle and the torch has
1673
01:34:09.810 --> 01:34:12.689
been knocked out of Frankenstein's hand and it's just lying
1674
01:34:12.750 --> 01:34:15.310
on the ground and they're like looking around like... Are
1675
01:34:15.340 --> 01:34:17.340
they just going to leave that right there? What are
1676
01:34:17.359 --> 01:34:19.239
you going to do with that goddamn torch? Like you
1677
01:34:19.260 --> 01:34:21.479
can't just leave it there in the middle of the open.
1678
01:34:21.840 --> 01:34:24.800
Like somebody's got to do something about that shit. And
1679
01:34:24.819 --> 01:34:26.920
then here comes in the father and he looks down.
1680
01:34:26.960 --> 01:34:29.119
He's like, what the hell is that thing down there for?
1681
01:34:29.140 --> 01:34:30.760
What are you trying to do? Burn the whole fucking
1682
01:34:30.800 --> 01:34:33.739
house down? And I just started laughing so goddamn hard.
1683
01:34:34.220 --> 01:34:36.500
Like that was what was funny to me. Like that
1684
01:34:36.579 --> 01:34:39.659
whole interaction, because that was immediately my thought. Like, why
1685
01:34:39.779 --> 01:34:41.390
are you just going to leave it there? What are
1686
01:34:41.399 --> 01:34:43.170
you going to do, burn the whole fucking place down
1687
01:34:43.229 --> 01:34:44.930
and just leave him there? And here comes a good
1688
01:34:44.970 --> 01:34:48.170
old father. You want to burn this place down? Like,
1689
01:34:48.289 --> 01:34:51.529
what the fuck is going on? It's like, just the
1690
01:34:51.569 --> 01:34:55.489
way that the father acts, he acts like a rich asshole, right? Like, oh,
1691
01:34:55.529 --> 01:34:57.500
look at this fucking dump. I can't believe my fucking
1692
01:34:57.560 --> 01:34:59.779
son's out here. And then he knocks on the door. What,
1693
01:34:59.880 --> 01:35:02.439
nobody's going to answer the goddamn door? And then, not
1694
01:35:02.479 --> 01:35:04.899
just using the knocker, then takes his cane and starts
1695
01:35:05.020 --> 01:35:07.640
rubbing it on the goddamn door so that way that
1696
01:35:07.720 --> 01:35:10.779
maybe somebody's going to notice it? You knocked on the door,
1697
01:35:11.010 --> 01:35:13.750
and it echoed pretty fucking hard, but you think that
1698
01:35:13.770 --> 01:35:18.090
your cane is gonna give you even more, like, noise
1699
01:35:18.470 --> 01:35:21.189
for somebody to be in there? Because you're fucking annoyed
1700
01:35:21.229 --> 01:35:24.520
that your son's not answering the door? Okay, I get it.
1701
01:35:24.779 --> 01:35:29.270
No cell phones, no regular phones, but... There's got to
1702
01:35:29.310 --> 01:35:32.449
be a better way. You know, kicking and screaming, maybe?
1703
01:35:32.770 --> 01:35:35.090
Shouting through the little hole that's there in the door?
1704
01:35:35.250 --> 01:35:38.859
Throwing rocks up at the window? But your cane? Is
1705
01:35:38.880 --> 01:35:41.920
that really going to do anything, old man? But Victor
1706
01:35:41.979 --> 01:35:45.380
eventually opens the door after he does that, so... I guess,
1707
01:35:45.720 --> 01:35:48.090
fuck me, I'm the one that's wrong in that situation,
1708
01:35:48.130 --> 01:35:51.770
and he knew exactly what to do. So, he goes inside,
1709
01:35:51.850 --> 01:35:54.409
goes upstairs, complains that he gotta go up the goddamn
1710
01:35:54.449 --> 01:35:57.539
staircase that's there, and there's no railing, so he's probably
1711
01:35:57.579 --> 01:35:59.800
just gonna fall down the stairs and break his fucking hip.
1712
01:36:00.239 --> 01:36:03.840
But that's here nor there. And eventually Elizabeth does go
1713
01:36:03.859 --> 01:36:06.359
up to the door that's there with Frankenstein and realizes
1714
01:36:06.399 --> 01:36:11.069
that Frankenstein has been basically, you know, he looks really
1715
01:36:11.149 --> 01:36:14.130
tired and he's really exhausted and he reaches out to
1716
01:36:14.170 --> 01:36:17.130
Elizabeth and he just collapses on the ground and she
1717
01:36:17.229 --> 01:36:20.270
runs and gets help from everybody else because he is
1718
01:36:20.350 --> 01:36:22.850
just beat from the experience. Literally.
1719
01:36:22.869 --> 01:36:24.670
Victor!
1720
01:36:24.689 --> 01:36:24.789
Dr.
1721
01:36:24.829 --> 01:36:25.789
Bradman! Come quickly!
1722
01:36:26.869 --> 01:36:28.180
Oh my dear, what have they done.
1723
01:36:28.069 --> 01:36:28.529
To you, Bridget?
1724
01:36:29.130 --> 01:36:32.189
It's all my fault. Get him on the sofa.
1725
01:36:32.310 --> 01:36:37.199
Oh, it's all my fault.
1726
01:36:39.380 --> 01:36:42.300
Thank you.
1727
01:36:43.399 --> 01:36:43.880
Oh, boy.
1728
01:36:43.939 --> 01:36:48.550
You've got to go, Randy. I do.
1729
01:36:48.829 --> 01:36:49.850
Quick, quick, quick, quick.
1730
01:36:49.890 --> 01:36:58.710
Can I do that for you? My boy, now. Now drink.
1731
01:36:59.270 --> 01:36:59.750
Drink this.
1732
01:37:02.689 --> 01:37:03.069
There.
1733
01:37:04.029 --> 01:37:08.659
There, that's better. I'm going to take you home with me, Henry. No,
1734
01:37:08.960 --> 01:37:10.060
I can't. My work.
1735
01:37:10.079 --> 01:37:12.899
What will happen to the records of my experiment?
1736
01:37:12.960 --> 01:37:13.939
We will preserve them.
1737
01:37:14.319 --> 01:37:18.359
And I will see that it is painlessly destroyed. Yes, yes,
1738
01:37:18.439 --> 01:37:19.399
leave it all to me.
1739
01:37:19.760 --> 01:37:20.859
Oh, poor Fritz.
1740
01:37:21.960 --> 01:37:22.619
Oh, my fault.
1741
01:37:22.659 --> 01:37:24.380
There, Henry, you can't do any more now.
1742
01:37:25.079 --> 01:37:26.859
You must come home until you get well again.
1743
01:37:27.880 --> 01:37:29.250
You'll soon feel better when you get.
1744
01:37:29.199 --> 01:37:29.729
Out of here.
1745
01:37:30.369 --> 01:37:34.050
So here's the realization from Frankenstein that he's the cause
1746
01:37:34.090 --> 01:37:36.729
of this and that his monster truly is a monster
1747
01:37:37.090 --> 01:37:40.710
and that what he did, while the experiment is successful
1748
01:37:41.069 --> 01:37:44.420
and it is a scientific breakthrough, he maybe, you know,
1749
01:37:44.779 --> 01:37:46.840
you could say in some ways maybe he shouldn't have
1750
01:37:46.859 --> 01:37:49.539
played God because he didn't really know what he was doing.
1751
01:37:50.000 --> 01:37:53.880
But it's not all entirely his fault. It's kind of
1752
01:37:53.920 --> 01:37:57.140
Fritz's fault, right? Because Fritz went and grabbed the abnormal
1753
01:37:57.180 --> 01:37:59.260
brain when, like I said, he could have just grabbed
1754
01:37:59.279 --> 01:38:01.560
the normal brain off the floor. He could have put
1755
01:38:01.659 --> 01:38:03.939
that one in the jar of the abnormal brain, tossed
1756
01:38:03.979 --> 01:38:08.090
the abnormal brain somewhere. And then Frankenstein might have been like, huh,
1757
01:38:08.609 --> 01:38:10.750
still pretty good. I think I can work with this.
1758
01:38:11.130 --> 01:38:13.050
And then he could have created the monster. But of
1759
01:38:13.130 --> 01:38:15.649
course not. We have to have the abnormal brain that
1760
01:38:15.670 --> 01:38:18.029
goes in there. And that's what really leads on to
1761
01:38:18.050 --> 01:38:21.039
the monster. So, Henry is going to be taken home,
1762
01:38:21.479 --> 01:38:23.079
where he's going to be taken care of by his
1763
01:38:23.140 --> 01:38:25.699
father and Elizabeth, and Volman is going to be the
1764
01:38:25.850 --> 01:38:29.510
one that actually decides to kill the monster. And before
1765
01:38:29.569 --> 01:38:32.970
he actually... you know kills the monster He decides to
1766
01:38:33.270 --> 01:38:36.550
take a look at the monster. Like, it's weird with
1767
01:38:36.590 --> 01:38:38.850
the scene that's here because he goes and he has
1768
01:38:38.869 --> 01:38:41.489
him strapped to a table and he's keeping notes of
1769
01:38:41.529 --> 01:38:43.649
the work that he's doing. And I think the notes
1770
01:38:43.689 --> 01:38:45.840
that he's really doing is he's trying to figure out
1771
01:38:45.949 --> 01:38:48.859
how to kill the monster and he hasn't quite figured
1772
01:38:48.920 --> 01:38:50.779
out how to do that. So the note that you
1773
01:38:50.800 --> 01:38:54.479
can read on the screen is, It says, note increased resistance,
1774
01:38:54.579 --> 01:38:59.460
necessitating stronger and more frequent injections. However, will perform dissection
1775
01:38:59.520 --> 01:39:03.220
at once. So he's going to dissect the monster, therefore
1776
01:39:03.460 --> 01:39:07.630
killing the monster, hopefully. Because whatever the inner workings of
1777
01:39:07.649 --> 01:39:10.810
the monster that Frankenstein has done has allowed it to
1778
01:39:10.930 --> 01:39:13.729
actually stay alive. And one of the things that I
1779
01:39:13.909 --> 01:39:17.449
do like in more modern versions of the tale, which
1780
01:39:17.489 --> 01:39:21.109
you don't need at this time, and even in Guillermo
1781
01:39:21.130 --> 01:39:26.430
del Toro's version, how exactly everything is put together that
1782
01:39:26.550 --> 01:39:31.329
maintains the body and maintains that it is going to
1783
01:39:31.409 --> 01:39:36.439
continuously power itself. Now, we all know that electricity really
1784
01:39:36.520 --> 01:39:39.640
powers our bodies too. As much as you don't think
1785
01:39:39.680 --> 01:39:43.340
about regular type of electricity, but we have electricity flowing
1786
01:39:43.359 --> 01:39:46.899
through our bodies. So how to sustain that is one
1787
01:39:46.930 --> 01:39:50.170
of the ways on how to keep people alive and
1788
01:39:50.210 --> 01:39:53.270
how to keep this body alive. for a quick lesson
1789
01:39:53.390 --> 01:39:57.289
from coming from the cardiac surgery world and coming from
1790
01:39:57.310 --> 01:40:03.310
atrial fibrillation, that is actually caused because our electrical signals
1791
01:40:03.939 --> 01:40:06.979
are going in the opposite direction as the same time
1792
01:40:07.039 --> 01:40:10.659
that the regular signals are, which cause the irregular heartbeats
1793
01:40:10.699 --> 01:40:12.720
and the murmurs that you have in your heart. So
1794
01:40:12.760 --> 01:40:16.350
the idea behind doing an ablation to the tissue of
1795
01:40:16.489 --> 01:40:19.729
your heart is is to create scar tissue that blocks
1796
01:40:19.750 --> 01:40:22.520
those electrical signals and has all the signals in your
1797
01:40:22.560 --> 01:40:26.149
body going the proper way, which is clockwise, right? And
1798
01:40:26.189 --> 01:40:30.989
so the idea of what Frankenstein has done is be
1799
01:40:31.029 --> 01:40:35.340
able to recreate that. And with the electricity from the lightning,
1800
01:40:35.609 --> 01:40:38.060
it ends up shooting into the body. And then that
1801
01:40:38.119 --> 01:40:41.500
body kickstarts that. And that's how it works here. It's
1802
01:40:41.539 --> 01:40:44.699
just more or less like, Hey, it's the light giving rays.
1803
01:40:45.140 --> 01:40:47.760
And that now has made the body come back to life.
1804
01:40:48.159 --> 01:40:51.079
We're in more recent stuff. It's more in line with
1805
01:40:51.159 --> 01:40:54.350
what we medically know, which is, It's kind of cool,
1806
01:40:54.430 --> 01:40:57.149
and I did like that portion a lot of the
1807
01:40:57.210 --> 01:41:01.149
most recent version and telling of Frankenstein. And other things,
1808
01:41:01.170 --> 01:41:03.850
I actually did really enjoy that movie as well, even
1809
01:41:03.899 --> 01:41:05.739
though it was probably a little bit too long in
1810
01:41:05.800 --> 01:41:09.159
tooth for its own good. But nonetheless, so he's writing
1811
01:41:09.199 --> 01:41:11.640
his notes down, he's going to try to do the dissection,
1812
01:41:11.979 --> 01:41:14.800
but of course that's when good old monster wakes up
1813
01:41:15.220 --> 01:41:19.810
and then attacks Valdemand, and ultimately kills Valdman and escapes
1814
01:41:19.989 --> 01:41:24.100
from the windmill and starts his rampage against the people
1815
01:41:24.409 --> 01:41:27.340
down below. It's very good tension that's built in the
1816
01:41:27.380 --> 01:41:30.119
scene as well, because the monster is just laying down
1817
01:41:30.159 --> 01:41:32.840
there on the table, and as Valdman is going over
1818
01:41:32.859 --> 01:41:35.100
there and trying to listen to a heartbeat, all of
1819
01:41:35.159 --> 01:41:38.520
a sudden you see the hand slowly rising below him,
1820
01:41:38.920 --> 01:41:42.479
coming ever so closer to his neck, until ultimately that
1821
01:41:42.619 --> 01:41:45.729
he does grab on him and he chokes, you know,
1822
01:41:46.199 --> 01:41:50.229
basically Valdman to death at that moment, throwing him around
1823
01:41:50.270 --> 01:41:52.930
the room just a little bit. And then it's watching
1824
01:41:52.970 --> 01:41:56.470
the Frankenstein monster walk out of the building and going
1825
01:41:56.630 --> 01:42:01.119
outside and escaping into the regular world. We then sit
1826
01:42:01.159 --> 01:42:05.060
down with Elizabeth and Henry, having a discussion about how
1827
01:42:05.119 --> 01:42:09.159
Henry realizes how happy he is being with Elizabeth, and
1828
01:42:09.239 --> 01:42:11.060
maybe this is what he should have had in the
1829
01:42:11.100 --> 01:42:15.619
first place. He still feels like he's responsible for Fritz, which,
1830
01:42:16.140 --> 01:42:19.270
you know, he is, to some extent. Some extent. There
1831
01:42:19.329 --> 01:42:21.409
is some extent why I'd say it was Fritz's fault
1832
01:42:21.789 --> 01:42:25.310
if Fritz wasn't just constantly antagonizing the monster. I know
1833
01:42:25.350 --> 01:42:28.989
what you guys are going to say. I'm victim-blaming Fritz here, okay?
1834
01:42:29.369 --> 01:42:33.590
I'm not totally victim-blaming Fritz, but actually, no, fuck it.
1835
01:42:33.729 --> 01:42:36.300
I am victim-blaming fucking Fritz. Like, why are you going
1836
01:42:36.319 --> 01:42:38.319
to be whipping that thing? Why are you going to be, like,
1837
01:42:38.380 --> 01:42:41.920
provoking it with fire? That thing is way bigger than you,
1838
01:42:42.079 --> 01:42:44.479
way stronger than you, and you got a goddamn hump
1839
01:42:44.560 --> 01:42:46.699
on your back. You think that you'd actually be able
1840
01:42:46.739 --> 01:42:48.000
to fight against the monster?
1841
01:42:48.020 --> 01:42:48.079
No.
1842
01:42:48.739 --> 01:42:51.189
All it had to do was, like, flick a finger
1843
01:42:51.229 --> 01:42:54.189
and you'd go flying across the fucking room. But instead,
1844
01:42:54.210 --> 01:42:56.970
you think you had some, like, power against it that
1845
01:42:57.010 --> 01:42:59.609
you were just, oh, I'm in control now. Look at me.
1846
01:42:59.649 --> 01:43:02.189
And you're kind of, like, playing with the master's pet.
1847
01:43:02.770 --> 01:43:04.729
and is this the way that you treat like dogs
1848
01:43:04.770 --> 01:43:07.569
and other things too there fritz maybe a dog would
1849
01:43:07.600 --> 01:43:09.939
have eaten your ass before the monster got to it
1850
01:43:10.000 --> 01:43:12.560
if you've been doing the same type of bullshit but
1851
01:43:13.159 --> 01:43:16.920
nonetheless he you know still feel sorry for the fact
1852
01:43:16.979 --> 01:43:19.239
that fritz died even though fritz was kind of a
1853
01:43:19.279 --> 01:43:21.340
dick and an asshole to the monster and if he
1854
01:43:21.359 --> 01:43:23.199
hadn't done it the monster might not have killed him
1855
01:43:23.579 --> 01:43:25.939
if they treated him with kindness and didn't lock him
1856
01:43:25.960 --> 01:43:28.800
in the goddamn basement of the entire time and treat
1857
01:43:28.819 --> 01:43:32.220
him like a monster would he have been better And
1858
01:43:32.460 --> 01:43:35.680
that actually kind of gets answered a little bit in
1859
01:43:35.739 --> 01:43:38.239
a scene that's going to be coming up very, very shortly.
1860
01:43:38.659 --> 01:43:42.640
But nonetheless, Henry is still happy that he's there. He's with,
1861
01:43:42.760 --> 01:43:45.979
you know, his wife to be and that this life
1862
01:43:46.090 --> 01:43:48.569
is actually the life that he wants. And maybe he
1863
01:43:48.710 --> 01:43:51.739
might have almost thrown the whole thing away. And so
1864
01:43:51.800 --> 01:43:54.439
now it goes over to the wedding day, and we
1865
01:43:54.500 --> 01:43:57.600
see that the father there, he's got his traditions, and
1866
01:43:57.640 --> 01:44:00.619
he starts talking with him about what's going on on
1867
01:44:00.810 --> 01:44:04.850
being married in the family of Frankenstein.
1868
01:44:05.210 --> 01:44:09.949
For three generations, these orange blossoms have been worn at
1869
01:44:10.090 --> 01:44:16.199
our weddings. Your great-grandfather wore this, Henry. Looks as good
1870
01:44:16.260 --> 01:44:17.100
as new now.
1871
01:44:17.119 --> 01:44:22.130
Thank you. Here's one to make the best man look
1872
01:44:22.170 --> 01:44:22.750
still better.
1873
01:44:22.770 --> 01:44:23.470
Thank you, sir.
1874
01:44:24.090 --> 01:44:31.029
Thirty years ago, I placed this on your mother's head, Henry. Today,
1875
01:44:31.069 --> 01:44:34.840
you'll make me very happy. By doing the same for Elizabeth.
1876
01:44:35.720 --> 01:44:38.899
And I hope, I hope in 30 years' time, a
1877
01:44:38.939 --> 01:44:43.800
youngster of yours will be carrying on the tradition. Now, now,
1878
01:44:44.079 --> 01:44:45.199
how about a little.
1879
01:44:44.979 --> 01:44:47.270
Drink, eh? Come on.
1880
01:44:47.659 --> 01:44:51.149
My, my grandfather bought this wine and laid it down.
1881
01:44:52.949 --> 01:44:55.090
My grandmother wouldn't let him drink it.
1882
01:44:55.590 --> 01:44:58.449
Oh, bless her heart. Yes, to her very good health.
1883
01:44:58.630 --> 01:45:00.010
Won't you?
1884
01:45:00.050 --> 01:45:00.149
Yes.
1885
01:45:00.680 --> 01:45:02.460
You all full? Yes, come along.
1886
01:45:03.020 --> 01:45:07.140
Here's a health to a son of the House of Frankenstein.
1887
01:45:07.720 --> 01:45:12.479
A son to the House of Frankenstein. Here's a jolly
1888
01:45:12.520 --> 01:45:18.390
good health to young Frankenstein. Young Frankenstein.
1889
01:45:18.670 --> 01:45:23.079
Here, give the servant some champagne. This stuff's wasted on him.
1890
01:45:24.109 --> 01:45:26.340
He's such a dick. in the way that it is.
1891
01:45:26.380 --> 01:45:28.399
And I get it. It's like the barren thing to
1892
01:45:28.439 --> 01:45:32.010
do over here. Oh, give the servants the champagne. They
1893
01:45:32.050 --> 01:45:33.789
can have a little bit of something to drink along
1894
01:45:33.850 --> 01:45:37.710
with us, but give them the champagne because their palate
1895
01:45:37.750 --> 01:45:40.890
is just not good enough to have this wine. He's
1896
01:45:40.930 --> 01:45:42.890
saying that to the butler, which is one of the
1897
01:45:42.930 --> 01:45:45.609
fucking servants. And then the servants all go over there.
1898
01:45:45.670 --> 01:45:49.189
They get the champagne in like, They're the maids of
1899
01:45:49.229 --> 01:45:51.590
the house. They're the ones that have it. And the
1900
01:45:51.649 --> 01:45:55.130
first three maids just take a little sip of everything.
1901
01:45:55.409 --> 01:45:59.210
They toast to the house of Frankenstein. But basically, everybody
1902
01:45:59.270 --> 01:46:02.010
takes a sip. The butler takes a sip. The first
1903
01:46:02.090 --> 01:46:04.869
maid takes a sip. The third maid takes a sip
1904
01:46:05.149 --> 01:46:09.380
and the last maid drinks the whole fucking thing. She
1905
01:46:09.439 --> 01:46:13.079
just downs that motherfucker right down. Just like, you know what?
1906
01:46:13.119 --> 01:46:15.260
If I'm going to have this fucking alcohol, I'm going
1907
01:46:15.300 --> 01:46:17.310
to have the whole fucking thing. I'm going to enjoy
1908
01:46:17.319 --> 01:46:19.449
this fucking champagne because this is the best thing that
1909
01:46:19.470 --> 01:46:21.170
I'm going to get. I'm going to break into the
1910
01:46:21.229 --> 01:46:23.310
goddamn cellar later tonight. I'm going to have that wine.
1911
01:46:23.350 --> 01:46:26.430
I'm going to show Frankenstein exactly how we don't. It's
1912
01:46:26.470 --> 01:46:27.729
going to be wasted on us.
1913
01:46:28.069 --> 01:46:28.720
Bullshit.
1914
01:46:29.159 --> 01:46:32.060
Alcohol is alcohol, motherfucker. I can work like this. I've
1915
01:46:32.079 --> 01:46:35.060
been drunk this entire fucking shift. You don't know me.
1916
01:46:35.359 --> 01:46:38.810
You don't know who I am. Alright, I gotta go
1917
01:46:39.090 --> 01:46:42.350
clean whatever it is I clean or set up or anything.
1918
01:46:42.390 --> 01:46:45.470
But I'll be back for more champagne in your wine,
1919
01:46:45.510 --> 01:46:47.680
you Frankenstein-looking motherfucker.
1920
01:46:47.720 --> 01:46:49.760
I'm an idiot.
1921
01:46:49.779 --> 01:46:49.899
So.
1922
01:46:55.569 --> 01:46:58.010
Now, you know, we're getting ready for the wedding day.
1923
01:46:58.170 --> 01:47:02.130
Everybody is, you know, the house has been decorated. They're
1924
01:47:02.189 --> 01:47:04.609
calling the Baron to go out and talk to the
1925
01:47:04.680 --> 01:47:07.619
people that are out there and getting ready to cheer
1926
01:47:07.680 --> 01:47:09.899
in the town. It's such a big deal because the
1927
01:47:10.039 --> 01:47:13.560
Baron's son is getting married and everybody in the town
1928
01:47:13.619 --> 01:47:15.300
is going to be a part of this great wedding
1929
01:47:15.340 --> 01:47:19.500
and everybody's dancing and dressed in their best lederhosen that's
1930
01:47:19.640 --> 01:47:22.739
out there. And, you know, he's like, huh, I can't
1931
01:47:22.779 --> 01:47:25.710
believe it. You know, these people, these people out there,
1932
01:47:25.729 --> 01:47:30.630
they're so excited by just a couple bottles of beer. Oh,
1933
01:47:30.670 --> 01:47:33.229
they're calling for me. Oh, I guess I better go
1934
01:47:33.329 --> 01:47:35.859
out there and show myself and show how I'm so
1935
01:47:35.899 --> 01:47:39.720
much better than everybody else. Yes, yes, you people out there.
1936
01:47:40.079 --> 01:47:42.760
You love just having a couple bottles of beer because
1937
01:47:42.779 --> 01:47:44.039
that's all you're going to be able to have. You
1938
01:47:44.079 --> 01:47:45.060
want to have some more, you're going to have to
1939
01:47:45.119 --> 01:47:47.409
buy it from me because I am the beer baron
1940
01:47:47.449 --> 01:47:51.050
of this whole goddamn place. But here's hope to more
1941
01:47:51.170 --> 01:47:53.739
fun events to come and you guys paying for it.
1942
01:47:54.050 --> 01:47:58.590
And you guys celebrating me and my rich family of Frankenstein.
1943
01:47:58.949 --> 01:48:01.229
Thank you very much. And the whole town is dancing.
1944
01:48:01.289 --> 01:48:04.189
Like I said, they're in their best lederhosen and weird
1945
01:48:04.229 --> 01:48:08.090
like dresses. Well, it's funny. I do kind of think
1946
01:48:08.149 --> 01:48:11.250
sometimes that those dresses like the Oktoberfest kind of dresses
1947
01:48:11.729 --> 01:48:14.510
can be kind of hot. I mean, that's just the
1948
01:48:14.529 --> 01:48:16.590
way it is. And that's probably the German that flows
1949
01:48:16.670 --> 01:48:19.760
through me. But everybody's all happy and dancing and everything.
1950
01:48:20.140 --> 01:48:22.399
and then we go over to poor Monster, who's now
1951
01:48:22.520 --> 01:48:25.399
wandering the world out there in the woods, and what
1952
01:48:25.420 --> 01:48:28.600
does he come across? Well, he comes across a father
1953
01:48:28.819 --> 01:48:32.699
and his daughter, Maria. And the father, he's got to
1954
01:48:32.720 --> 01:48:34.770
go out into the woods, and he's got to go
1955
01:48:34.819 --> 01:48:37.369
check his traps, because he needs to make sure that
1956
01:48:37.390 --> 01:48:39.789
they have more food, And then they've got, you know,
1957
01:48:40.229 --> 01:48:42.829
more leather and stuff. And she's carrying a cat that
1958
01:48:42.930 --> 01:48:45.829
does not want to be with her. That cat looks
1959
01:48:45.909 --> 01:48:48.949
like it's sickly and half dead and doesn't want to
1960
01:48:48.989 --> 01:48:51.810
be held by her because it's being held upside down.
1961
01:48:52.180 --> 01:48:54.460
It's not being held the right way. And she looks
1962
01:48:54.479 --> 01:48:57.060
like she is choking the shit out of that cat, too.
1963
01:48:57.380 --> 01:49:00.199
This is animal abuse. I'm going to say that Frankenstein
1964
01:49:00.239 --> 01:49:02.439
did the right fucking thing because he saw the way
1965
01:49:02.479 --> 01:49:05.420
the kid... saw the fucking cat, and the cat was
1966
01:49:05.460 --> 01:49:08.710
just crying out for goddamn help. It was being choked
1967
01:49:08.729 --> 01:49:12.250
to fucking death, being held on its back, not being
1968
01:49:12.289 --> 01:49:15.130
allowed to go anywhere, just wanting to leave and do
1969
01:49:15.229 --> 01:49:18.850
fucking cat things, and that little fucking bitch Maria just
1970
01:49:18.890 --> 01:49:22.079
would not allow her to fucking go and be a cat.
1971
01:49:22.460 --> 01:49:24.899
And so, it was right for what Frankie is going
1972
01:49:24.939 --> 01:49:29.619
to do. Not really, but, you know, she still was
1973
01:49:29.680 --> 01:49:33.449
abusing the cat. Like, honestly... that cat was getting choked.
1974
01:49:33.930 --> 01:49:37.689
But so he walks upon Maria, who's there gathering flowers
1975
01:49:37.770 --> 01:49:41.750
because daddy left her alone because daddy probably should have
1976
01:49:41.770 --> 01:49:44.189
taken her with him. I don't know why he'd leave
1977
01:49:44.229 --> 01:49:46.720
her alone and never taught her about stranger danger because
1978
01:49:46.729 --> 01:49:50.300
she reaches up to Frankenstein right away. Oh, who are you?
1979
01:49:50.600 --> 01:49:52.800
You want to come play with me by the river?
1980
01:49:52.819 --> 01:49:55.260
And I'm going to show you where all my flowers are.
1981
01:49:55.359 --> 01:49:59.289
And so she shows him the flowers and Like, oh, look,
1982
01:49:59.590 --> 01:50:02.390
I can make a boat and like fucking like starts
1983
01:50:02.430 --> 01:50:05.890
destroying the flowers that are there, killing the nature, natural
1984
01:50:05.989 --> 01:50:08.670
plant life that's in the area and then throwing the
1985
01:50:08.729 --> 01:50:11.329
tops of the flowers directly into the water, creating these
1986
01:50:11.369 --> 01:50:14.909
little boats and Frankenstein. And this is the most childlike
1987
01:50:14.989 --> 01:50:18.310
that he is. And this scene is great. For that
1988
01:50:18.609 --> 01:50:22.300
not not for what Frankenstein does but here that yeah
1989
01:50:22.340 --> 01:50:24.640
if you treat him with kindness and you have to
1990
01:50:24.680 --> 01:50:27.420
give him some type of understanding because he really doesn't
1991
01:50:27.460 --> 01:50:30.800
know he's just a little kid in the mind right
1992
01:50:30.939 --> 01:50:34.560
he is just barely into this world. Doesn't know exactly
1993
01:50:34.680 --> 01:50:37.909
what he's supposed to do. And, you know, he goes
1994
01:50:37.989 --> 01:50:40.609
and throws the flowers and he runs out of flowers.
1995
01:50:41.069 --> 01:50:43.989
And what does he got to do? Well, he's got
1996
01:50:44.010 --> 01:50:48.069
to originate something that my cousin loves to say all
1997
01:50:48.109 --> 01:50:52.380
the time and believes in full heartedly. She always tells me,
1998
01:50:53.199 --> 01:50:58.159
fuck them kids. And Frankenstein's monster is the originator of
1999
01:50:58.939 --> 01:51:02.750
fuck them kids. Because he wants to have something else
2000
01:51:02.810 --> 01:51:06.409
that floats. And he doesn't have any more flowers. So
2001
01:51:06.470 --> 01:51:10.750
what does he use? He uses Maria and fuck them
2002
01:51:10.829 --> 01:51:15.060
kids and throws her directly into the water. I should
2003
01:51:15.100 --> 01:51:18.699
not be laughing, but I am. And she drowns because
2004
01:51:18.739 --> 01:51:21.060
of it. Because she can't swim. Because her dad's a
2005
01:51:21.079 --> 01:51:23.840
bad dad. Yeah, I'm victim blaming once again. What are
2006
01:51:23.859 --> 01:51:26.670
you going to do? Stop listening? Please don't stop listening.
2007
01:51:27.470 --> 01:51:31.250
But nonetheless. So he freaks out because he realizes that
2008
01:51:31.489 --> 01:51:35.920
he's done something bad. And he runs away, leaving the father, Maria,
2009
01:51:35.939 --> 01:51:39.579
to come back to his dead fucking daughter. And so
2010
01:51:40.479 --> 01:51:43.399
we go back into the town. And everybody's still celebrating
2011
01:51:43.460 --> 01:51:45.899
what's going on. Nobody knows what's up with Maria. And
2012
01:51:45.979 --> 01:51:48.529
Frankenstein is hanging out with all the different party guests.
2013
01:51:48.909 --> 01:51:51.310
And then Elizabeth comes out in her wedding dress, like
2014
01:51:51.350 --> 01:51:54.250
she's not supposed to, and wants to speak directly with
2015
01:51:54.289 --> 01:51:58.489
Frankenstein because she's worried that something is going to happen.
2016
01:51:58.529 --> 01:52:01.869
She has these bad feelings. this premonition of what could
2017
01:52:01.909 --> 01:52:05.289
possibly happen on their wedding day, like it's not supposed
2018
01:52:05.329 --> 01:52:08.869
to be. And that's when we find out that Frankenstein
2019
01:52:09.149 --> 01:52:12.789
has found his father, and the monster is loose in
2020
01:52:12.829 --> 01:52:13.250
the house.
2021
01:52:13.850 --> 01:52:14.310
What is it?
2022
01:52:14.640 --> 01:52:18.420
I'm so glad you're safe. Of course I'm safe. But
2023
01:52:18.439 --> 01:52:19.100
you look worried.
2024
01:52:19.840 --> 01:52:20.560
Is anything wrong?
2025
01:52:21.539 --> 01:52:21.760
No.
2026
01:52:23.319 --> 01:52:26.319
No, forget my foolishness. It was just a mood.
2027
01:52:30.279 --> 01:52:32.140
Henry, I'm afraid.
2028
01:52:33.020 --> 01:52:33.720
Terribly afraid.
2029
01:52:33.739 --> 01:52:35.659
Where's Dr. Valdman?
2030
01:52:35.699 --> 01:52:36.619
Why is he late for the wedding?
2031
01:52:37.100 --> 01:52:39.739
Oh, he's always late. He'll be here soon.
2032
01:52:41.180 --> 01:52:42.199
Something is going to happen.
2033
01:52:42.229 --> 01:52:43.789
I feel it.
2034
01:52:43.810 --> 01:52:46.010
I can't get it out of my mind.
2035
01:52:46.029 --> 01:52:50.569
You're just nervous. All the excitement and preparation.
2036
01:52:51.310 --> 01:52:52.229
No, no.
2037
01:52:53.050 --> 01:52:53.569
It isn't that.
2038
01:52:53.590 --> 01:52:58.029
I felt it all day. Something is coming between us.
2039
01:52:59.210 --> 01:53:02.609
I know it. I know it. Sit down and rest.
2040
01:53:03.390 --> 01:53:04.409
You look so tired.
2041
01:53:06.270 --> 01:53:08.000
I could just do something to save us from it.
2042
01:53:08.010 --> 01:53:09.149
From what, dear?
2043
01:53:09.390 --> 01:53:09.869
From what?
2044
01:53:12.050 --> 01:53:12.569
I don't know.
2045
01:53:12.590 --> 01:53:14.789
If I could just get it out of my mind.
2046
01:53:16.109 --> 01:53:17.760
I'd die if I had to lose you now, Henry.
2047
01:53:17.909 --> 01:53:21.680
Lose me? I'll always be with you. Will you, Henry?
2048
01:53:22.640 --> 01:53:23.180
Are you sure?
2049
01:53:23.199 --> 01:53:25.800
I love you so.
2050
01:53:27.279 --> 01:53:30.439
Sure. How beautiful you look.
2051
01:53:32.720 --> 01:53:32.899
Henry!
2052
01:53:32.960 --> 01:53:33.699
Henry!
2053
01:53:33.939 --> 01:53:34.739
What's that?
2054
01:53:35.800 --> 01:53:36.220
What's that?
2055
01:53:36.960 --> 01:53:37.319
Henry!
2056
01:53:38.000 --> 01:53:38.260
Dr.
2057
01:53:38.279 --> 01:53:38.659
Faltman!
2058
01:53:39.359 --> 01:53:40.319
All about the father!
2059
01:53:41.100 --> 01:53:42.000
Henry, don't leave!
2060
01:53:42.359 --> 01:53:44.140
Don't leave me! No, darling, you stay here.
2061
01:53:44.159 --> 01:53:45.680
Henry!
2062
01:53:46.439 --> 01:53:48.739
Henry! Dr. Faltman's been murdered in the tower.
2063
01:53:49.479 --> 01:53:52.189
The monster. He's been seen in the hills terrorizing the mountainside.
2064
01:53:54.729 --> 01:53:55.329
He's in the house.
2065
01:53:57.289 --> 01:53:57.810
He's upstairs.
2066
01:53:59.569 --> 01:54:02.170
So the monster has arrived and she's worried that something
2067
01:54:02.250 --> 01:54:04.800
else is going to actually be there, right? And that
2068
01:54:04.880 --> 01:54:08.520
something's going to ruin their wedding day. And yeah, something is.
2069
01:54:08.729 --> 01:54:10.210
The monster is going to be the one that ruins
2070
01:54:10.270 --> 01:54:14.390
their wedding day. So in the smartest move ever... Henry
2071
01:54:14.569 --> 01:54:18.970
locks his wife-to-be inside the room. Well, it's kind of smart,
2072
01:54:19.029 --> 01:54:21.050
so that way the monster can't get in that way,
2073
01:54:21.390 --> 01:54:24.310
and that hopefully she's protected. And they start running around
2074
01:54:24.340 --> 01:54:26.000
the house, and it's funny because in one of the
2075
01:54:26.020 --> 01:54:29.420
rooms upstairs, being a baron, he's got a room of hay?
2076
01:54:30.220 --> 01:54:32.479
Why does he have a room of hay? It's got, like,
2077
01:54:32.579 --> 01:54:35.720
just a broom and hay. Is that where you brush
2078
01:54:35.779 --> 01:54:37.699
everything under the rug? Is that what the drunk fucking
2079
01:54:37.739 --> 01:54:40.739
maid has been doing? She just brushes everything into there
2080
01:54:40.800 --> 01:54:44.409
and has been gathering over the years? And so they're
2081
01:54:44.430 --> 01:54:47.130
trying to find the monster. And eventually, though, the monster
2082
01:54:47.229 --> 01:54:50.380
does find one of its targets. And that happens to
2083
01:54:50.420 --> 01:54:53.760
be Elizabeth. It breaks in through like it's walking there
2084
01:54:53.859 --> 01:54:56.359
on the outside. And then it crawls in through the
2085
01:54:56.399 --> 01:55:00.399
window after it opens the window and goes after Elizabeth
2086
01:55:00.800 --> 01:55:05.199
for some reason. It's not really explained why he's going after.
2087
01:55:05.319 --> 01:55:07.729
I think it's meant more just for the horror of
2088
01:55:07.850 --> 01:55:08.850
it in this.
2089
01:55:09.289 --> 01:55:09.510
Right.
2090
01:55:09.609 --> 01:55:14.060
And to have consequences for Frankenstein that's there. But him, like,
2091
01:55:14.399 --> 01:55:18.659
slouching over and slowly approaching her and reaching out, like,
2092
01:55:18.699 --> 01:55:22.279
his arms and her not really paying attention and walking away.
2093
01:55:22.579 --> 01:55:24.739
And then all of a sudden, there it is. And,
2094
01:55:24.899 --> 01:55:31.050
you know, I love it, too, because literally she goes like, ah!
2095
01:55:31.250 --> 01:55:37.550
She screams and he's like, er, er, hey, baby, hey, yeah,
2096
01:55:37.630 --> 01:55:42.329
that's what I really want. Nice tits. You know, it's
2097
01:55:42.350 --> 01:55:45.770
just like the look on his face is really comical
2098
01:55:46.170 --> 01:55:50.090
and it's great, but it's like, hey, I do want that.
2099
01:55:50.649 --> 01:55:53.289
That's exactly what I want. He's not trying to kill her.
2100
01:55:53.689 --> 01:55:57.680
He just wants her. And so she's screaming. They realize
2101
01:55:57.720 --> 01:56:00.539
that the monster is inside of the room and they
2102
01:56:00.579 --> 01:56:02.840
managed to finally get over to the door, open it
2103
01:56:02.960 --> 01:56:06.140
up as the monster is leaving and she's collapsed on
2104
01:56:06.159 --> 01:56:09.060
the bed. Everybody thinks that she's dead, but she's not
2105
01:56:09.140 --> 01:56:13.689
really dead. She's just like been terrified. And so she's
2106
01:56:13.770 --> 01:56:17.149
there and she's just kind of writhing around saying, don't
2107
01:56:17.189 --> 01:56:19.210
let it come near me. Don't let it come near me.
2108
01:56:19.630 --> 01:56:22.510
And as Henry is tending to her, that's when we
2109
01:56:22.550 --> 01:56:27.640
see Maria's father walking through town with the body of
2110
01:56:27.739 --> 01:56:30.859
the drowned Maria. And he is just looking at the
2111
01:56:30.899 --> 01:56:33.760
sky and it's sad. That part is really sad. Just
2112
01:56:33.800 --> 01:56:37.939
the look on his face. It's just like painful. as
2113
01:56:37.979 --> 01:56:41.960
he's just staring and almost like wandering aimlessly throughout the
2114
01:56:42.020 --> 01:56:45.260
town as people are like, who's that? What's that there?
2115
01:56:45.319 --> 01:56:48.000
And the kids that are in the, like waiting on
2116
01:56:48.039 --> 01:56:51.390
the side, they're like, is that Maria? What's Maria doing?
2117
01:56:51.470 --> 01:56:54.409
Is she sleeping? And as everybody's like dancing and all
2118
01:56:54.430 --> 01:56:56.989
of a sudden they stop and they start looking on
2119
01:56:57.149 --> 01:57:00.609
in horror as he's dragging this body through the town,
2120
01:57:00.630 --> 01:57:03.329
not dragging the body, but carrying this body through the town.
2121
01:57:03.810 --> 01:57:07.210
It's really impressive. And it's really well done. And just
2122
01:57:07.250 --> 01:57:11.739
how the town rallies around him. It just breaks your
2123
01:57:11.779 --> 01:57:14.859
heart and what you're seeing and the consequences of what
2124
01:57:15.039 --> 01:57:18.920
Henry Frankenstein has done. And it's kind of that juxtaposition
2125
01:57:18.979 --> 01:57:22.340
between the two of them. That Henry was actually able
2126
01:57:22.399 --> 01:57:26.100
to save Elizabeth and she's still alive. But he still
2127
01:57:26.180 --> 01:57:30.210
caused what happened to Marie. And then he brings them
2128
01:57:30.310 --> 01:57:32.760
over to the Burgermeister or whatever that guy's name is.
2129
01:57:33.189 --> 01:57:35.930
And then explains to them that she's dead. She's murdered.
2130
01:57:35.970 --> 01:57:37.789
Cause he's like, what's the meaning of this? Why do
2131
01:57:37.829 --> 01:57:41.229
you bring this? And he's like, she's drowned. She's been murdered.
2132
01:57:41.670 --> 01:57:44.350
And then he's like, okay, well, you know what? The
2133
01:57:44.390 --> 01:57:47.680
town's a rabble, rabble, rabble, rabble, rabble, rabble. It's like silence.
2134
01:57:48.340 --> 01:57:50.880
Justice will be served. You know? And they're like, you say,
2135
01:57:50.920 --> 01:57:52.899
who is it? Who is it? And from the mob
2136
01:57:52.939 --> 01:57:55.319
that's now starting to form out there in the city,
2137
01:57:55.439 --> 01:57:58.399
we now go over back over to Henry and Victor,
2138
01:57:58.539 --> 01:58:02.579
as they're talking about Elizabeth, and that she's better, but
2139
01:58:02.640 --> 01:58:06.119
she's still just terrified, and the hunt for the monster begins.
2140
01:58:07.050 --> 01:58:08.289
How is Elizabeth now?
2141
01:58:08.310 --> 01:58:09.840
I don't know. She's still in a.
2142
01:58:23.319 --> 01:58:23.720
What do you mean?
2143
01:58:24.020 --> 01:58:26.300
There can be no wedding while this horrible creation of
2144
01:58:26.340 --> 01:58:29.619
mine is still alive. I made him with these hands,
2145
01:58:29.859 --> 01:58:31.430
and with these hands I will destroy him.
2146
01:58:31.970 --> 01:58:33.529
I must find him. I won't.
2147
01:58:33.750 --> 01:58:33.949
No.
2148
01:58:34.409 --> 01:58:35.869
You stay here and look after Elizabeth.
2149
01:58:37.010 --> 01:58:40.529
I leave her in your care, whatever happens. You understand?
2150
01:58:40.560 --> 01:58:42.119
In your care.
2151
01:58:55.050 --> 01:58:58.170
Ludwig, you will search the woods. Those are your group.
2152
01:58:58.569 --> 01:59:02.949
Fire!
2153
01:59:02.989 --> 01:59:03.850
Herr Frankenstein!
2154
01:59:05.100 --> 01:59:06.720
You will take to the mountains.
2155
01:59:07.119 --> 01:59:08.100
Those are your people.
2156
01:59:08.119 --> 01:59:15.060
I will lead the third group by the lake.
2157
01:59:15.470 --> 01:59:19.369
Remember, get him alive if you can, but get him.
2158
01:59:21.869 --> 01:59:25.369
I'll search every ravine, every crevice.
2159
01:59:26.029 --> 01:59:28.140
But the fiend must be found.
2160
01:59:28.270 --> 01:59:30.739
Are you ready?
2161
01:59:32.140 --> 01:59:33.960
I'll light your torches and go.
2162
01:59:35.090 --> 01:59:37.609
So the father of Maria is going to leave one
2163
01:59:37.670 --> 01:59:39.609
strike team and the other strike team is going to
2164
01:59:39.630 --> 01:59:42.609
be led by Frankenstein as they're going to go out
2165
01:59:42.810 --> 01:59:45.310
into the, you know, the wild wanders that are out
2166
01:59:45.350 --> 01:59:49.380
there and actually find the monster and bring it to justice.
2167
01:59:49.720 --> 01:59:52.699
But the townspeople don't know anything about the monster. They're
2168
01:59:52.720 --> 01:59:55.939
just looking for the man that killed Maria where Henry,
2169
01:59:56.239 --> 01:59:59.060
he actually knows what he's looking for. And he's trying
2170
01:59:59.100 --> 02:00:03.390
to find the creation that endangered Elizabeth's life and and
2171
02:00:03.729 --> 02:00:07.569
possibly killed maria as well so the wedding day has
2172
02:00:07.630 --> 02:00:10.970
turned into a monster hunt instead as they grab their
2173
02:00:11.029 --> 02:00:14.270
torches and they go through the town all the men
2174
02:00:14.310 --> 02:00:15.989
of the town as they go out to find the
2175
02:00:16.029 --> 02:00:19.430
monster out in the wilderness as all the women are
2176
02:00:19.529 --> 02:00:22.569
left behind and they're all watching on in terror as
2177
02:00:22.630 --> 02:00:25.680
this mob of men with their torches in a very
2178
02:00:26.100 --> 02:00:29.039
like iconic scene that's there It's one of the first
2179
02:00:29.079 --> 02:00:31.760
times I believe that you see these people rushing through
2180
02:00:32.119 --> 02:00:34.939
with the dogs and all the mob of people, all
2181
02:00:34.960 --> 02:00:37.880
the different torches. It's very, very iconic to this movie
2182
02:00:37.939 --> 02:00:40.399
as well. So they split up and it's basically a
2183
02:00:40.439 --> 02:00:43.119
bunch of scenes we've got here. People in rowboats looking
2184
02:00:43.199 --> 02:00:45.699
around them, going through the mountains, trying to find out
2185
02:00:45.760 --> 02:00:49.390
exactly where the monster is and how they can bring
2186
02:00:49.399 --> 02:00:51.470
him to justice. So eventually they get up into the
2187
02:00:51.529 --> 02:00:55.310
hills and they see the monsters in the distance and
2188
02:00:55.569 --> 02:00:57.710
And the dogs have caught the scent. They find a
2189
02:00:57.750 --> 02:01:01.149
guy that's basically been attacked by the monster laying down
2190
02:01:01.170 --> 02:01:02.939
on the hill. And he points out the way that
2191
02:01:02.979 --> 02:01:06.079
they're supposed to go. And so the mob goes and
2192
02:01:06.100 --> 02:01:09.699
still is searching and searching around these mountainous regions. And
2193
02:01:09.760 --> 02:01:13.069
eventually Frankenstein is separated from the group on his own.
2194
02:01:13.409 --> 02:01:16.399
And he runs into the monster himself. And so they
2195
02:01:16.439 --> 02:01:19.680
have a tussle to where the monster actually overpowers him.
2196
02:01:20.039 --> 02:01:22.319
Like he tries to hold him back once again by
2197
02:01:22.359 --> 02:01:24.979
the torch and the fire, but just the look on
2198
02:01:25.020 --> 02:01:27.560
the face between the two of them, they both look
2199
02:01:27.600 --> 02:01:30.710
like they're angry at each other. And I really like
2200
02:01:30.890 --> 02:01:33.449
when they do these reaction shots in between the two
2201
02:01:33.850 --> 02:01:37.510
where Victor Frankenstein just looks determined, like I am going
2202
02:01:37.550 --> 02:01:39.689
to stop you. And then the monster just kind of
2203
02:01:39.720 --> 02:01:43.029
looks like, huh? You can't stop a thing. You know,
2204
02:01:43.189 --> 02:01:45.800
you may have created me, but I'm the one that's
2205
02:01:45.810 --> 02:01:49.279
going to end you. And it's just like from a distance,
2206
02:01:49.300 --> 02:01:51.800
the look on his face is just more like smirking,
2207
02:01:52.119 --> 02:01:54.720
like he knows he has the upper hand. And it's
2208
02:01:54.779 --> 02:01:57.199
kind of cool. Up close, it's just kind of like
2209
02:01:57.300 --> 02:02:00.699
deadpan look. But from the distance, there is a specific
2210
02:02:00.760 --> 02:02:04.930
look that Karloff is giving that just really fits Karloff.
2211
02:02:05.229 --> 02:02:07.989
Like how the monster has grown and maybe how the
2212
02:02:08.029 --> 02:02:11.270
monster is actually learning the way everything works. And so
2213
02:02:11.890 --> 02:02:15.449
Victor Frankenstein calls for help as he's struggling with the monster.
2214
02:02:15.770 --> 02:02:17.789
But of course, the monster is going to overpower him.
2215
02:02:18.229 --> 02:02:21.390
The mob below does hear the cries from Henry Frankenstein
2216
02:02:21.689 --> 02:02:23.810
and they do decide to go after him where they
2217
02:02:23.850 --> 02:02:26.670
think that he's going to be. The monster, realizing that
2218
02:02:26.770 --> 02:02:30.270
he's going to be outnumbered, knocks the ever-loving shit out
2219
02:02:30.310 --> 02:02:33.489
of Henry and drags him off over to a local
2220
02:02:33.569 --> 02:02:36.829
mill that's nearby. And so they see him in the
2221
02:02:36.869 --> 02:02:40.069
distance as he's climbing up the side of the mountain.
2222
02:02:40.369 --> 02:02:42.909
They release the dogs to go after him, and they
2223
02:02:42.979 --> 02:02:45.579
chase the monster into the windmill that's at the top
2224
02:02:45.720 --> 02:02:48.699
of the mountain. The monster manages to block the door
2225
02:02:48.760 --> 02:02:51.039
so that the villagers can't get in and go after him,
2226
02:02:51.439 --> 02:02:54.340
and takes Henry to the top floor so that way
2227
02:02:54.399 --> 02:02:57.229
he can trap him there and eventually they start having
2228
02:02:57.270 --> 02:03:01.350
it out once again where Henry starts like basically dodging
2229
02:03:01.829 --> 02:03:05.560
the monster realizing that he can't actually fight against him
2230
02:03:05.880 --> 02:03:08.060
and we get another cool shot too because You know,
2231
02:03:08.100 --> 02:03:10.439
the way that the windmills work where they've got the
2232
02:03:10.479 --> 02:03:12.979
different like gear type of things like the wooden gears
2233
02:03:13.020 --> 02:03:16.109
that are there. And we get a reaction shot or
2234
02:03:16.289 --> 02:03:19.750
directly on Henry. And then it goes directly over to
2235
02:03:19.789 --> 02:03:22.590
the monster as the little things are moving by. It's
2236
02:03:22.630 --> 02:03:25.020
hard to explain exactly what it is. But if you
2237
02:03:25.039 --> 02:03:27.680
know the indoor workings of a windmill, like especially an
2238
02:03:27.899 --> 02:03:31.359
old Bavarian style windmill, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
2239
02:03:31.859 --> 02:03:33.520
And so he decides that he's going to try to
2240
02:03:33.600 --> 02:03:36.680
run outside and get away from the monster, but the
2241
02:03:36.760 --> 02:03:40.899
monster chases him out towards the top, and he drags
2242
02:03:40.939 --> 02:03:44.380
him back in, picks his ass up, lifts him over
2243
02:03:44.439 --> 02:03:47.340
his head, and then tosses him off the side of
2244
02:03:47.380 --> 02:03:50.420
the windmill, and he tosses him directly onto one of
2245
02:03:50.470 --> 02:03:55.109
the blades of the windmill that's there, actually saving his life.
2246
02:03:55.590 --> 02:03:59.800
Because he does manage to survive, rather than killing... you know,
2247
02:03:59.859 --> 02:04:02.750
Henry Frankenstein over here. And I love the way that
2248
02:04:02.770 --> 02:04:04.840
he does it because he like, he tries to throw
2249
02:04:04.859 --> 02:04:07.380
them and he, it's just a fucking, you know, It's
2250
02:04:07.420 --> 02:04:10.500
a fake fucking body that's there, but it does land
2251
02:04:10.640 --> 02:04:12.819
on it magically. And then he just kind of falls
2252
02:04:13.000 --> 02:04:15.859
off and he's on the ground and he's injured, but
2253
02:04:15.899 --> 02:04:19.600
he's not dead. And so the villagers decide that they're
2254
02:04:19.640 --> 02:04:22.279
just going to burn the fucking place down. And so
2255
02:04:22.319 --> 02:04:26.180
they light the whole windmill on fire, thus killing the monster,
2256
02:04:26.239 --> 02:04:28.680
because that's the way that they're going to serve justice
2257
02:04:29.000 --> 02:04:32.840
to the murderer of Maria. So the day has been won.
2258
02:04:33.380 --> 02:04:37.359
Frankenstein has survived. So has Elizabeth. and they're going to
2259
02:04:37.399 --> 02:04:40.640
be living a life that's happily ever after, as we
2260
02:04:40.680 --> 02:04:42.960
have the father closing out the end of the movie,
2261
02:04:43.220 --> 02:04:45.420
and I'm surprised, like the last time, he decided to
2262
02:04:45.460 --> 02:04:47.659
go give him fucking brandy to make him feel better,
2263
02:04:48.039 --> 02:04:50.340
when the maids bring over the bottle of the wine,
2264
02:04:50.380 --> 02:04:53.430
because hey, you know what, he's exhausted, and he's been
2265
02:04:53.439 --> 02:04:56.550
through so much, time to just get his fucking ass drunk,
2266
02:04:56.869 --> 02:05:01.130
they bring him wine, but the Baron decides, nah, I'm
2267
02:05:01.170 --> 02:05:04.130
gonna be the one to drink this, and uh, Let's
2268
02:05:04.250 --> 02:05:08.310
leave the two lovebirds alone, as this movie actually has, like,
2269
02:05:08.409 --> 02:05:12.449
an ending score to it, which made me very surprised,
2270
02:05:12.510 --> 02:05:15.489
but it's mostly just saying the end and the Universal
2271
02:05:15.529 --> 02:05:16.489
logo that's there.
2272
02:05:17.729 --> 02:05:27.960
Quiet, quiet.
2273
02:05:31.060 --> 02:05:32.000
Well, go ahead and knock.
2274
02:05:39.840 --> 02:05:44.539
Well, well, well, what's all this? What do you want, eh?
2275
02:05:45.340 --> 02:05:46.039
What's this?
2276
02:05:46.840 --> 02:05:49.619
If you please, Herr Baron, we thought that Mr.
2277
02:05:49.659 --> 02:05:52.390
Henry could do with a glass of his great-grandmother's wine.
2278
02:05:53.930 --> 02:05:55.829
Fine old lady, my grandmother.
2279
02:05:57.810 --> 02:05:59.170
Very foreseeing of her.
2280
02:05:59.189 --> 02:06:12.140
To prevent my grandfather drinking this. Mr. Henry doesn't need this.
2281
02:06:13.359 --> 02:06:18.939
Well, as I said before, I say again, here's to
2282
02:06:18.979 --> 02:06:21.529
a son to the house of Frankenstein.
2283
02:06:21.949 --> 02:06:22.189
Me, sir.
2284
02:06:22.229 --> 02:06:22.789
Me, sir.
2285
02:06:40.710 --> 02:06:40.909
THE END.
2286
02:07:02.109 --> 02:07:06.050
And so that was Frankenstein. And honestly, the death of
2287
02:07:06.130 --> 02:07:10.340
Frankenstein itself is pretty intense because the fire is just
2288
02:07:10.439 --> 02:07:14.819
going everywhere. And then you're watching Boris Karloff, like try
2289
02:07:14.859 --> 02:07:17.720
to struggle and go through the monsters, trying to figure
2290
02:07:17.800 --> 02:07:20.979
out his way. And eventually it starts collapsing on him
2291
02:07:21.020 --> 02:07:23.479
and he collapsed to the ground and fires everywhere. And
2292
02:07:23.520 --> 02:07:26.289
he's just kind of screaming and not knowing what to do.
2293
02:07:26.649 --> 02:07:29.489
And then it's a picture of the windmill just completely
2294
02:07:29.569 --> 02:07:34.050
engulfed in flames and therefore killing the monster. And the
2295
02:07:34.229 --> 02:07:36.180
end too is just like, oh, you know what? He
2296
02:07:36.220 --> 02:07:38.439
doesn't need this shit. I need it more than him.
2297
02:07:39.260 --> 02:07:41.899
Here's to a son of the house of Frankenstein. And
2298
02:07:41.979 --> 02:07:46.560
everybody's like, indeed. And really he gets away with murder
2299
02:07:46.699 --> 02:07:49.979
and creating this and nobody else but Elizabeth and Victor
2300
02:07:50.359 --> 02:07:53.329
know exactly what he's created and that the monster was
2301
02:07:53.529 --> 02:07:56.470
actually his fault. And therefore the death of Maria is
2302
02:07:56.689 --> 02:07:59.909
on his hands, which eventually leads us to the bride
2303
02:07:59.930 --> 02:08:04.260
of Frankenstein, which is a great movie. It is possibly
2304
02:08:04.340 --> 02:08:06.960
one of the best sequels that's ever been created. And
2305
02:08:07.239 --> 02:08:09.829
like I said, one of these days, we'll watch it. So,
2306
02:08:10.369 --> 02:08:14.210
this movie, I love this movie. I love the theming,
2307
02:08:14.470 --> 02:08:17.689
I love the set design, I love the performances, I
2308
02:08:17.930 --> 02:08:21.180
love the story... While yes, it could be more in depth,
2309
02:08:21.260 --> 02:08:23.279
but I have to give it a little bit extra
2310
02:08:23.319 --> 02:08:27.140
here where it is from 1931. The movie is only
2311
02:08:27.180 --> 02:08:29.899
an hour and 10 minutes long. It is not very
2312
02:08:29.960 --> 02:08:32.310
long at all, but it does a lot and it
2313
02:08:32.479 --> 02:08:36.609
moves very, very, very fast in the way that it
2314
02:08:36.729 --> 02:08:39.689
is so fast. In fact, that this podcast is under
2315
02:08:39.789 --> 02:08:43.069
three hours long. Holy crap. And it's just probably over two,
2316
02:08:43.609 --> 02:08:47.729
which is insane, but it, doesn't feel even like an hour.
2317
02:08:47.770 --> 02:08:50.229
It feels like it's like 30 minutes or maybe even
2318
02:08:50.229 --> 02:08:53.449
40 minutes long. It doesn't have any part that seems
2319
02:08:53.489 --> 02:08:56.949
like it drags at all. It's like they took a
2320
02:08:57.010 --> 02:09:00.079
lot of what they learned from making Dracula, even though
2321
02:09:00.119 --> 02:09:04.319
that this one was made directly after and was released
2322
02:09:04.380 --> 02:09:07.600
within the same year and probably didn't take a whole
2323
02:09:07.779 --> 02:09:10.659
lot of time filming. But I do feel like the
2324
02:09:10.720 --> 02:09:14.380
strengths that Dracula had, they learned from And they just
2325
02:09:14.520 --> 02:09:17.100
made a very like the play that they took this
2326
02:09:17.119 --> 02:09:21.109
from was a lot more concise and not as explanatory
2327
02:09:21.149 --> 02:09:24.909
and didn't have so much long diatribe, but got everything
2328
02:09:24.970 --> 02:09:28.270
that it needed to have across with a very simple
2329
02:09:28.350 --> 02:09:31.539
story for what it is. And they didn't need to
2330
02:09:31.579 --> 02:09:35.439
make it even more convoluted than the actual lore of
2331
02:09:35.560 --> 02:09:40.579
this truly is. If you actually go through Mary Shelley's
2332
02:09:40.659 --> 02:09:45.689
Frankenstein and actually dissect that novel itself, it can be
2333
02:09:45.739 --> 02:09:48.829
pretty thick for the most part. But it's a beautiful
2334
02:09:48.869 --> 02:09:52.090
movie and it's done so well. And to be from
2335
02:09:52.090 --> 02:09:57.050
1939 and have such an impact upon the world. And
2336
02:09:57.170 --> 02:10:03.090
to be such a, again, an impactful movie to anybody
2337
02:10:03.170 --> 02:10:08.140
that loves horror, in my personal opinion, it's fantastic. This
2338
02:10:08.180 --> 02:10:11.239
movie is great. So in terms of rating the movie,
2339
02:10:11.939 --> 02:10:13.899
I love this movie. You know, you guys got to
2340
02:10:13.939 --> 02:10:16.739
know that. And so I give, you know, the gore,
2341
02:10:16.760 --> 02:10:18.859
it's a one out of five. It's again, not really gory.
2342
02:10:18.920 --> 02:10:20.720
None of these movies are going to be gory really
2343
02:10:20.800 --> 02:10:22.619
at all. You get it. Watch a couple of people
2344
02:10:22.640 --> 02:10:24.979
get choked out. There's a little bit of blood. That's
2345
02:10:25.039 --> 02:10:28.189
basically it. You could show it to anybody. In terms
2346
02:10:28.229 --> 02:10:30.649
of the crap factor of this movie, I'd give it
2347
02:10:30.710 --> 02:10:34.529
like a two out of five because there are some
2348
02:10:34.569 --> 02:10:36.470
things that kind of need to be explained a little
2349
02:10:36.489 --> 02:10:38.649
bit better. I wish we had a little more Fritz.
2350
02:10:39.090 --> 02:10:41.489
I know that he was torturing him, but why was he?
2351
02:10:41.569 --> 02:10:44.329
I just kind of want to know those things. And
2352
02:10:44.369 --> 02:10:46.470
even though maybe you don't need to know those things
2353
02:10:46.529 --> 02:10:48.789
for this type of movie, it'd be nice to have
2354
02:10:48.949 --> 02:10:51.449
a little bit extra in it just to give us
2355
02:10:51.489 --> 02:10:54.069
a little bit more of The fun factor, it's a
2356
02:10:54.109 --> 02:10:57.229
five out of five. I love the performances. Boris Karloff
2357
02:10:57.369 --> 02:11:00.810
is absolutely excellent as the monster in this movie. You know,
2358
02:11:01.029 --> 02:11:05.699
we have good old Clive over here, Colin Clive. He
2359
02:11:05.760 --> 02:11:10.100
is excellent as Henry Frankenstein. Meg Clark is fine as Elizabeth.
2360
02:11:10.479 --> 02:11:14.220
You know, you've got Edward Van Sloan. He's perfectly fine
2361
02:11:14.279 --> 02:11:17.180
as Valdman. It's not as good as his Van Helsing,
2362
02:11:17.520 --> 02:11:20.260
but I still think it works pretty well. Probably weakest
2363
02:11:20.359 --> 02:11:22.470
links in this movie are going to be John Bowles
2364
02:11:22.510 --> 02:11:27.149
as Victor and Frederick Kerr as Baron Frankenstein. But I
2365
02:11:27.189 --> 02:11:30.609
really don't, he's not like a central member of anything,
2366
02:11:31.029 --> 02:11:33.649
but it's still just kind of like, I could have
2367
02:11:33.670 --> 02:11:37.229
done without the character just in general myself, but it
2368
02:11:37.289 --> 02:11:39.289
works for everything else that works in this film. But
2369
02:11:39.689 --> 02:11:44.569
this film, while I did not rate Dracula a four
2370
02:11:44.760 --> 02:11:47.039
out of five, and there may have been some, you know,
2371
02:11:47.079 --> 02:11:48.460
or a five out of five, and there may have
2372
02:11:48.479 --> 02:11:53.949
been some people that were upset about that. Frankenstein seriously
2373
02:11:54.210 --> 02:11:56.310
is a five out of five.
2374
02:11:56.470 --> 02:11:57.029
Fire!
2375
02:11:57.289 --> 02:11:58.649
Burn!
2376
02:11:59.029 --> 02:12:02.770
Like, it is, it is, to me, one of the
2377
02:12:02.810 --> 02:12:06.029
most perfect films next to The Bride of Frankenstein. It
2378
02:12:06.180 --> 02:12:11.479
is so good and so entertaining and just, it doesn't
2379
02:12:11.520 --> 02:12:16.199
need much to carry itself. And, Even going through it
2380
02:12:16.260 --> 02:12:18.920
a third time and just talking about it, it just
2381
02:12:19.159 --> 02:12:22.500
brings a warmness to my heart. While Dracula means a
2382
02:12:22.539 --> 02:12:26.829
lot to me, primarily because of my grandmother and the
2383
02:12:26.869 --> 02:12:28.930
connection I have a little more to her with that
2384
02:12:28.970 --> 02:12:34.289
movie than this, this is something that just brings everything together. Yes,
2385
02:12:34.329 --> 02:12:37.520
there is a nostalgia factor that's going on with this
2386
02:12:37.619 --> 02:12:42.180
movie with me at the same time, but taking that away...
2387
02:12:42.409 --> 02:12:47.569
And just looking at the classics of horror, it just
2388
02:12:47.869 --> 02:12:52.590
cannot be beat. And I just feel that everything that
2389
02:12:53.170 --> 02:12:57.970
Dracula did and did well, I think Frankenstein did even better.
2390
02:12:58.350 --> 02:13:02.270
And having an antagonist that doesn't say a word yet
2391
02:13:02.350 --> 02:13:05.529
can convey everything within just the emotional face and the
2392
02:13:05.600 --> 02:13:09.050
emotionless face. And that scene with Maria and like how
2393
02:13:09.189 --> 02:13:12.270
giddy he gets in like having fun with her and
2394
02:13:12.310 --> 02:13:15.640
just being childlike and then being so scared when he
2395
02:13:15.720 --> 02:13:18.800
knows he did something wrong. And then the face off
2396
02:13:18.859 --> 02:13:22.500
between him and Henry up there on the mountain where
2397
02:13:22.539 --> 02:13:26.800
he's like, you've created this without saying it. It's it's
2398
02:13:26.899 --> 02:13:32.569
just so good. And for everything, the feelings of tension
2399
02:13:32.649 --> 02:13:36.170
and terror are actually really well done in this film
2400
02:13:36.229 --> 02:13:40.970
as well. And it's just, it is a classic, classic
2401
02:13:41.029 --> 02:13:45.510
film and may have become, you know, I've still got
2402
02:13:45.670 --> 02:13:48.810
three more to watch. But as of right now, if
2403
02:13:48.970 --> 02:13:51.090
I'm going through and I have to kind of rank
2404
02:13:51.270 --> 02:13:55.220
these films, which I think is ultimately outside of The
2405
02:13:55.260 --> 02:13:58.680
Creature from the Black Lagoon because it's my favorite, but
2406
02:13:58.720 --> 02:14:02.079
what I think might be the best out of them,
2407
02:14:02.720 --> 02:14:05.340
out of all the ones that had been made that
2408
02:14:05.600 --> 02:14:08.899
aren't The Bride of Frankenstein, that aren't sequels, I think
2409
02:14:09.000 --> 02:14:13.340
Frankenstein might actually be that one. Now, that might be
2410
02:14:13.420 --> 02:14:17.130
overturned next week because for some people, The next movie
2411
02:14:17.170 --> 02:14:20.090
that we're going to be covering is the best out
2412
02:14:20.130 --> 02:14:24.090
of all of them. And this one also stars Boris
2413
02:14:24.170 --> 02:14:27.560
Karloff here in the lead role, in a speaking role
2414
02:14:27.939 --> 02:14:31.840
in this film. And again, it is a classic for
2415
02:14:31.859 --> 02:14:35.020
a reason. And we're going to be looking at, next week,
2416
02:14:35.600 --> 02:14:36.020
The Mummy.
2417
02:14:48.119 --> 02:14:57.000
Death, eternal punishment for anyone who opens this casket.
2418
02:15:05.430 --> 02:15:10.270
The mummy, is it dead or alive? Human or inhuman?
2419
02:15:10.989 --> 02:15:16.680
You'll know, you'll see. You'll feel the awful, creeping, crawling
2420
02:15:16.800 --> 02:15:19.739
terror that stands your hair on end and brings a
2421
02:15:19.819 --> 02:15:27.510
scream to your lips. There's nothing on earth like the mummy.
2422
02:15:28.270 --> 02:15:31.510
You will not remember what I show you now. And
2423
02:15:31.569 --> 02:15:38.479
yet I shall awaken memories of love and crime and death.
2424
02:15:40.039 --> 02:15:41.880
Now I know his horrible plans.
2425
02:15:43.079 --> 02:15:45.060
He is going to kill her and make her a
2426
02:15:45.060 --> 02:15:46.039
living mummy like himself.
2427
02:16:08.649 --> 02:16:13.229
It's funny because in like the trailer and in the title,
2428
02:16:13.289 --> 02:16:16.090
like the cards that come through the trailer where it's like,
2429
02:16:16.250 --> 02:16:22.149
you know, more interesting than Dracula, more terrifying than Frankenstein,
2430
02:16:22.649 --> 02:16:25.779
more intriguing than the invisible man. And I had a
2431
02:16:25.840 --> 02:16:28.760
doubled back on myself. Like, did this come out after
2432
02:16:28.800 --> 02:16:31.760
the invisible man, but the invisible man actually comes out
2433
02:16:31.979 --> 02:16:36.000
after this. So it's weird to have that in the trailer, uh,
2434
02:16:36.520 --> 02:16:39.659
Because they were probably already planning on doing The Invisible Man,
2435
02:16:40.000 --> 02:16:42.979
but we got The Mummy before then. It's just, it's
2436
02:16:43.059 --> 02:16:45.739
weird to have that in the trailer, yet The Invisible
2437
02:16:45.780 --> 02:16:49.200
Man had not come out just yet. So, we're going
2438
02:16:49.229 --> 02:16:51.389
to be watching The Mummy. I'm looking forward to doing
2439
02:16:51.450 --> 02:16:53.969
this one as well. I mean, I'm looking forward to
2440
02:16:54.010 --> 02:16:56.770
doing all of them, but The Mummy is another movie
2441
02:16:56.930 --> 02:17:00.690
where I just, I can't wait to watch the original
2442
02:17:01.069 --> 02:17:01.729
over again.
2443
02:17:01.750 --> 02:17:01.809
So.

that I do for like Halloween and everything like that.
2448
02:17:13.809 --> 02:17:17.850
But I just really wanted to do these at least once.
2449

And we've already talked about some classic ones and we
2450
02:17:20.659 --> 02:17:23.040
