Marc J @Marcel47 3d MS's Frankenstein, 1994 was a magnificent production with great direction by Branagh. Having recently read the book by Mary Shelley, I can say that the script was similar, but the critical ending was changed to the creature putting both Victor Frankenstein and himself in the same flame. The book had the creature going off to kill himself after taking care of Victor. The movie also had Elizabeth being brought back to life for himself, whereas the book had the creature blackmail Frankenstein to build a mate for him out of spare parts. I believe the film resolved the story more interestingly as Victor and the creature fight over the resurrected Elizabeth leading to her putting herself to death in a burst of flame. This bit of thought-provoking story-telling added to the depth of Frankenstein as a meaningful thriller, full of metaphors on man's ambition.

When his ship hits an iceberg, she is stranded in the ice. Out of the blue, Captain Walton and his men overhear a dreadful cry, and they see a stranger coming to the ship. He introduces himself as Victor Frankenstein and he tells the captain the story of his life since he was a little boy in Geneva. "Frankenstein" is an underrated version of the classic story. Directed by Kenneth Branagh, the dramatic story was not well accepted by the professional critics and many viewers. I saw this movie in 1995, in 2013 and I just saw it yesterday, and it is a great movie that has not aged. Unfortunately, I have never read the novel by Mary Shelley to compare it with this version with Guillermo Del Toro’s one. My vote is eight. Title (Brazil): "Frankenstein de Mary Shelley" ("Mary Shelley's Frankenstein") See more Mo S. @9mr_0 Dec 5 فلم جميل و قصه حلوه رغم بعض الشخصيات تسقط بدون ما يركز عليها المخرج والموسيقى رائعه See more Nov 11 A must see .
