      @@peterkrug4124 The Monster acted as the monster just because he was only met with hate and zero compassion, he was misunderstood. When you make a person feel like a monster many times they will just start acting like a monster. It was the point of original book. If only the Monster was met with kindness from the start he could live with humans in peace. But he was rejected by everyone. And when someone finally accepted him then he was drove back away by the others that still couldn't understand him. Trully a sad story.

    Karloff's performance as the "monster" is iconic and has never been equalled. Karloff's daughter often commented that when very young children watched his Frankenstein, they were not frightened. They saw the monster as one of them - an innocent child who wanted to be accepted.

      It's not believable though. Do you welcome homeless people into your house? Wait, don't answer yet. They can see, and you are blind. They have complete and total power over you. And you just... let them in. That's uh, something you aspire to? You can relate. This mirrors a life experience you've had. This rings true. Or do you like the story so much you don't care that it's being guided by a heavy hand. We, the audience, know all the characters already. But the characters don't know each other. The ability to understand this is called "theory of mind". It usually kicks in around 4 years in toddlers. That's when you gain the ability to lie effectively.

As much as I love this scene, I always was aware of how the blind man wasn't startled and just casually let a grunting being in his home and tells him he's welcome there, as if he has strangers stopping by all day long. He even says later it's been a long time since anyone's come there, so you would figure he would be especially scared and guarded. It's still one of my all-time favorite movie scenes :-)

    Awwww. Always loved this scene. Still brings the tears. Now 48 years later I am revisiting and I notice Mr. Blind Man is not *really* playing his violin. Still, doesn't matter. One of the best scenes in this classic. Poor creature. I love that Mary Shelley has our monster respond so positively to music ... and kindness. It's wondrous.

    This is the most incredibly beautiful scene, so well acted by Boris Karloff and O P Heggie. At first I hope I can be forgiven for thinking it would be crazy for a vulnerable old man to invite someone in who was aggressive and growling at your front door, but over looking this well I'm sure we can all relate to the scene that followed. A wonderful piece of fiction that can evoke what happens in real life, and yes, I have read your comments, and it really moved me to tears as well, two lonely people, with afflictions, looking for a friend who will accept them, I'm sure we have all been there. I was occasionally bullied at school because I was not good at sports, I couldn't keep up with the others, they made fun of me because I was not into the same music as them, so to them, I was different and I was targeted and I only wanted to be accepted like one of them. I made one friend, his name Nicholas, he had learning difficulties , they made fun of him too as you could clearly see he had learning difficulties as it showed physically, yet, I saw him for what he really was, and that he was a loner, like me, he was indeed a true, honest, sincere, kind and genuine person, and those who bullied him relentlessly thought they were normal as they were not in the remedial class like he was ! But to this day, Nicholas and I are still good friends, still loners and keep to ourselves, where the differnece is, I met a woman and had a family, Nicholas never married or had children, he is still looking for that one woman who will give him the love and kindness he so desperately seeks. He is now 51 years old, has his own place in Wales yet still has his elderly mother and a support worker to take care of his needs. He has still been abused as he's a vulnerable adult, name calling, children calling him ''a mong' he was also a victim of crime, had his PC stolen (Though he did have it back) With all this the scene from the film can relate to us or someone we know. I really did cry watching this scene,and I'm a father of two and very nearly 50 !! it affected me so much and It played over in my head. Boris Karloff, the best Frankenstein 'monster' . I grew up the 70's and 80's where colour was cool yet was allowed to watch these films on Horror double bills on a Saturday night, BBC 2, I thought they were excellent, but today's generation would not appreciate black and white. To those who cried watching this scene, ....God bless your beautiful and compassionate souls .

Although he's a bit difficult to accommodate at times and doesn't fit in with other dogs or people, my dog and I are very good friends and aren't to be separated. The monster's noises remind me of my dog's uncertain little boofs. Every day I am grateful that I have a job that pays enough for me to care for him.

    I've watched BOF over 100 times, and I never get tired of it (try watching ANY movie that many times, and if can tell me what it is, I'd like to hear it!). And of all the memorable scenes in this classic film, this one remains my favorite. But without Karloff in the leading role, it may have dissipated into just another forgotten horror movie. No actor could have imbued the monster with sympathy and pathos like Boris, and of all his great movie roles, I still consider this his crowning achievement. It's monstrous, it's magical, and it's moving.

  • @josemanuelmascarenas9149

    one thing about the Frankenstein monster's creation, abnormal brain notwithstanding this film really saw the monster's humanity shine through, remembering when in the first film they said only evil would come of the abnormal brain being used, maybe the owner of the brain was not so evil as we were led to believe, there must still have been some bit of good emotion stored in the brain to have turned the monster into such a kind and loving creature as we saw him in this film, maybe in the first film he must have been confused about his creation and the life he was given and also abused and mistreated to have given way to his aggressive and temperamental state and not knowing what emotions to use when seen by others, being like a child needing guidance, but my heart goes out to the monster in this film, having more humanity in him than anyone else being afraid of him or wanting to use him as leverage against Dr. Frankenstein. His inarticulate acting feels like some of the silent films where the actors did not say anything but made you feel their emotions through expressions and movement. few films nowadays make you really feel anything even close to this, which is why I never let go of the classics, and I wonder if Boris Karloff won an award for this film, it tops any Frankenstein film ever made, with the exception of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein where there are moments when you see the monster's emotions rise, and that was Robert DeNiro's acting, and I wonder if people nowadays really look closely at an actor's emotions as they would in a masterpiece like this

    At 75 this scene is very touching, unlike other horror movies. Even though the monster has a criminal brain the poor blind man treated it humanely bringing out the human side of the monster's emotions. I consider this one of the best parts of any movie I have ever seen. It is sad and a little funny at the same time. BREAD GOOD....WINE GOOD..>>FIRE...NO GOOD!!!
