I was actually a bit annoyed by the end of the movie because there were no true consequences for Frankenstein (Who's called Henry in the movie. Wasn't he Victor in the book?). He caused at least three deaths but once the monster he created was dead, everyone was like, "Well, that's that then." I was like, "Huh?" I could have sworn the ending was more fitting in the book.<br /><br />I haven't typically been a big subtitle user, but a lot of these older films, the sound quality for dialogue is really bad. I'll have the volume turned up to 40 or 50 and still can't hear what they're saying! (For reference, I typically listen to the TV in the 14-20 range, depending on the show.) So I've started using subtitles more often.balyienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13785839636620293326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2074838946965393539.post-89506094779936789642015-06-02T16:59:34.618-07:002015-06-02T16:59:34.618-07:00Adding to your long list of "why". Why ...Adding to your long list of "why". Why does this version stray so very far from the book?<br /><br />I think we know the answer already.<br /><br />I think a movie is a success if it makes you think over a few days and come to a conclusion. So that's good. <br /><br />Also, I had to find out what the dress looked like and you are right. It's gorgeous. Here's a link: <br />http://quantuminnovator.deviantart.com/art/MST3K-Frankenstein-1931-Version-310602452<br /><br />Do you often watch movies with subtitles? I always do, because Matt needs them. They used to bug me, but I got used to them and now I miss them when they are not there. Plus, you can watch the entire movie at a lower volume, which is nice, especially if you have neighbors living above you.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07967372439743853589noreply@blogger.com
