Frankenstein

Watched Frankenstein yesterday...because sister INSISTED...and it was such a cruel, hideous, beautiful at certain parts, and sad movie!!!!!!! :(

To summarize the whole movie, (provided I can summarize well)....here goes...

A guy named Victor Frankenstein, whom, since young, wanted to bring life to dead people. When he grew up, he went to college to study, and he was really passionate for the subject of science. Simply because he wanted to find a way to bring life to dead people. He manged to use electricity to make a dead human alive again...it had to do something with the electricity and the human nervous system I think. :) He got different parts of different bodies from a pit in a graveyard, full of dead corpses. And he stitched the parts together and brought life to a HIDEOUS LOOKING CREATURE. He didn't really look like a human, he had longish hair, a ghostly face, with dark circles around his eyes, and he just look altogether hideous. Bringing life to this dead person was the start of his troubles...

First, this creature managed to wander away, and I think because everybody rejected him simply because he look super ugly and hideous, he became evil and bad. He killed William, Victor's little brother. But not intentionally I think...he wanted to shush the little boy up but ended up suffocating him. :( Next, he put the blame of the little boy's death on Justine, one of the Frankensteins' maids. :( She was hanged on gallows, innocently. 

Thirdly, because Victor failed to do what this human creature requested, the creature shadowed him and tricked him on Victor's wedding night. Victor married his adopted sister, Elizabeth, because both of them promised their dying mother that they will get married. And also because they obviously loved each other too. I don't think it's really wrong because she was just adopted, and not like his blood sister. But anyway, so, the creature actually gave Victor the warning of destroying his happiness on his wedding night much earlier before he got married.

On their wedding night, in their room, they were talking, laughing, enjoying themselves, and here comes this creature, and he tricks Victor, gets into the room, with Elizabeth alone in there, and strangles her to death! Ohhhhh!!!!!!!! How cruel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They were only married for one day.

This creature, wasn't actually intentionally cruel. Because he was being mistreated, he wanted to get back at people, and because Victor was actually like his father, because Victor created him, he mainly wanted to make Victor suffer, by killing all the people that Victor loved. :(

I believe that there is a moral in this movie. Don't mistreat others, just because they look hideous, or because they are on a "lower rank" than you, or because they aren't like you. Everybody is different, and we should do unto others as we would have them do unto you! :)

My goal is to try to do to others as they would have them do to me. It's not going to be easy especially for me, but I'm going to try! :)

P.S. Many apologies for the super long summary. I don't think it's called a summary anymore. The problem with me is, I like to tell stories, not just summarize but add all the details into it. :) Sorry!

P.S 2. I kept thinking the worse of the show, like, thinking, oh, now this and that person is going to be killed and stuff like that. Because, in my case, I'm the type of person who'd rather think the worse of something so that I won't feel so bad in the end, if it's not so bad. :)
