"I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot satisfy the one, I will indulge the other." That's honestly one of the most frightening lines of dialogue in literature. Frankenstein is my favorite horror novel!
"I have love inside me the likes of which you could scarcely imagine. & hate, the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot indulge the one, I will indulge the other." Oh man that line is so hardcore.
What amaze me about this scene are that Kenneth Branagh are using the source material to his advantage, a monster is defined by it's actions rather than it's appearance. The creature is well spoken and intellegent while Victor is selfish, irresponsible, reckless and possibly mentally ill. There is a man and a monster in the scene alright.
"You are my creator, but I am your master. Obey!" This quote from the novel goes well with this scene. Here, Victor comes to realize that he's not in control anymore after creating his monster.
it is so heart shattering. the look in Victors eyes as he heard his creation ask him such a question that he never once considered. Something that we all were taught, and in his infinite hubris of trying to prove to himself that he could, he never stopped to think about if he should. and now he is living the horror of his own making.This is so powerful and tragic.
This is such a phenomenal scene. It speaks to the profound nature of the concept of the story. "What am I? Why do I exist and what am I supposed to do with what I am? What hope did I ever have to live a proper life? Did you even think about any of this before you undertook the responsibility of bringing me into being? What now"?
This is one of the few adaptations of the book to get the relationship between the creator and creation right - emphasizing the creature’s loneliness, its rejection from society, its haunted quest for a soul, its desire for a mate, and Frankenstein’s craven running away from his creation and ensuingly being forced to take responsibility for it.
Did a good job but Jesus that book was crazy good. The movie went down a different path but what actor could fully encapsulate the rage hate and misery that defined that book? Impossible
@@jacktoma21 Afraid not. A lot of adaptations make the creature look so monstrous when he's meant to be quite a pretty man, but with eerie yellow eyes. I feel making him look so overtly horrific also takes away from the moments where you see his intelligence and introspection.
@@louthegiantcookie I can understand that. I always that designs like this make it confusing why frankenstien suddenly sees his creation as an abomination, even though he made the thing, so he would have seen that ugly mug for God knows how long. In the book, its only after brining it to life that the can tell how unsettling he looks.
Did you see how one of his hands is way, way bigger than other? I saw this film twice at the cinema when it was released & countless times since. This is the first time I've noticed the hands! :D
The real monster is Frankenstein himself. He created the creature not to save humanity but because he wanted to prove he can. Thats why this story is so brilliant.
True. And he also wanted to create a new species that would worship him as their god. The only reason he created the monster was pure hubris. There was nothing altruistic about it.
@@magallanesagustin4952naw where you get that from the book or movie? I would saw both the movie and series presented it as a war with death that scarred him as a boy. Maybe the book but have to review the first chapters again but definitely don’t remember that!
His obsession became his downfall. Something he did not foresee and it all began with the death of his mother. He believes that he can stop death by designing a life that would be more stronger than us healthier than us more intelligent than us somebody that would never get sick somebody that would even be more civilized. The truth was Victor put his Ambitions before God. We are not meant to bring anyone back to life because once you bring them that they're not the same person you remember them as. Watch Pet Sematary, watch Re-Animator, heck even watch Victor Frankenstein. Most of those movies involve bringing someone back to life and they are not the same person they knew they're basically driven by Mindless instinct and eventually mindful rage.
This scene is amazing. The way he says the word “indulge” is the most De Niro he gets in the whole film. Also not enough credit is given to Patrick Doyle’s score. The whole thing is deeply moving and in this scene in particular the way he uses his score to accentuate the words “good people? Bad people?” is just quality work.
Quite so. I really think the moral of the story is almost less about science and more about being parents to your children. If you can't handle the responsibility of new life, you shouldn't create it. Victor was a sorry excuse for a father.
It's interesting that he refused to bring Justine back to life and enslave her to the horrible existence of the creatures life, but then was ready to do the very same thing to Elizabeth for his own selfish reasons.
Victor is the real monster of the tale. The creature is only the result of Victors irresponsibility and lack of humility. Victor's really the one that killed everyone that dies in this story including himself.
Did you see how one of his hands is way, way bigger than other? I saw this film twice at the cinema when it was released & countless times since. This is the first time I've noticed the hands!
What a terrific scene, per4mances. I haven't seen this in maybe over 20 freaking years...can't believe so much time has passed since this came out. When I was a kid in the 80s, The Ten Commandments was 30 years old! The difference between now and Frankenstein in 1994 is similar. It's crazy to think about in that way... But seriously, I was impressed by this film and this scene especially back then and find myself reimpressed, so to speak, with more appreciation for cinema and acting than I had back then, and it's amazing that this is Robert DeNiro
Why didn’t Victor just told his creation that the reason he started all of this was because his mother died in child birth and that he couldn’t handle losing her?
@@Commanderziff It would’ve been answer then the one he says in the film “Something in my soul compelled me to” like No it wasn’t the real reason you started all of this was because you couldn’t move on from your moms death
.~This is Man's inhumanity to Man, Victor's abomination of death! The fact that he never reconciled his mother's death, is why he never really understood Frankensteins disposition. The fact that Frankenstein could feel love and hate really bought to light about Man's need to consider other people and not just our own selfish desires! Nevertheless any more would cost you money and some time on my couch! Peace out, see you in Church on Sunday!~. God bless!!!~.
Reminds me of a quote from Jurassic Park’s character Dr. Ian Malcolm played by Jeff Goldblum. “You spent so much time trying to figure out if you could that you didn’t stop and consider whether or not you should!”
😅 This is why non-duality is very important to understand. Everybody seems to think this way, it's painfull to see beings feel like these fictional chatacters

Is that in the novel, I’ve read it but not in a long time, I’ve been watching all adaptations
@@marckbrown97 it is just not word for word.
No definitely not in the book. That’s a brilliant line for movie but pales in comparison to the book
“You gave me these emotions, but you didn’t tell me how to use them”
"I have love inside me the likes of which you could scarcely imagine. & hate, the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot indulge the one, I will indulge the other."
Oh man that line is so hardcore.
He says rage not hate
Yeah - it’s rage - and it frightens me every time he says it!
@@CharlesRaines4946 ok, I will remember that, because it's one of my favourite lines. thanks for letting me know
@@toddavies1326 It is scary, yes! But also, so badass. lol
*if I cannot satisfy the one
This is the heart of the whole movie, the soul of the plot.
Clopin: Who is the monster, who is the man?
@@CharlesRaines4946knowledge is knowing that "Frankenstein" is not the monster's name
Wisdom is knowing that "Frankenstein" is the monster's name
@@KenMabie I was quoting the Hunchback of Notre Dame, Dr Frankenstein is the monster

2:42 This lives rent free in my head.
It's so scathing, and so well deserved. Frankenstein was smart, but his...son, if we can call him that, had more wisdom than his father.
it is so heart shattering. the look in Victors eyes as he heard his creation ask him such a question that he never once considered.

The crux of Mary Shelley's cautionary tale, yet it's a part most filmmakers leave out...
This is the part of the film where the source material's premise really shines
This is one of the few adaptations of the book to get the relationship between the creator and creation right - emphasizing the creature’s loneliness, its rejection from society, its haunted quest for a soul, its desire for a mate, and Frankenstein’s craven running away from his creation and ensuingly being forced to take responsibility for it.
Bastard creator and bastard creation together in life and in death.

@@valentinek.t3327The Luke Goss version is also good.
"And you think I'M evil?" Jesus, that cuts like a knife. I don't like how the monster looks in this version, but the performance is wonderful.
Are you not a fan of the stitched together face look for him?
@@jacktoma21 Afraid not. A lot of adaptations make the creature look so monstrous when he's meant to be quite a pretty man, but with eerie yellow eyes. I feel making him look so overtly horrific also takes away from the moments where you see his intelligence and introspection.

This is the actual personality of Frankenstein’s creature.

If Victor just gave love to the abomination. Love is key.
Quite so. I really think the moral of the story is almost less about science and more about being parents to your children. If you can't handle the responsibility of new life, you shouldn't create it. Victor was a sorry excuse for a father.
Yea like when he brings Elizabeth back to life he doesn’t freak out and run away from her he actually tries to help her like what the fuck?
The sins of our fathers. Only then they will haunt us.
But a lot of human monsters have had the love of their parents. It didn't stop them.
@@dars5229 I’m not talking about other monsters. I’m talking about Victor’s.
It's interesting that he refused to bring Justine back to life and enslave her to the horrible existence of the creatures life, but then was ready to do the very same thing to Elizabeth for his own selfish reasons.
That's really Victor's Character in a whole nutshell
Victor is the real monster of the tale. The creature is only the result of Victors irresponsibility and lack of humility. Victor's really the one that killed everyone that dies in this story including himself.
This movie doesn’t always do the source material Justice but this scene nails it and warrants having the authors name associated with it.
The best version by far
"We would travel north where no man has set foot"
"Canada? But that's madness"
Did you see how one of his hands is way, way bigger than other? I saw this film twice at the cinema when it was released & countless times since. This is the first time I've noticed the hands!
That's an actually nice detail.

How would that have helped? How would that have changed his rage at being abandoned and left to die by his father?
@@Commanderziff It would’ve been answer then the one he says in the film “Something in my soul compelled me to” like No it wasn’t the real reason you started all of this was because you couldn’t move on from your moms death
@@Commanderziff yeah but more likely I’m pretty sure the creature would kill him in retaliation after he told him the reason
Yeah I’m sure he would have just left him alone then 😂
@@coolzombie816 No but I'm sure he would've understand Victor a lot better.
"And what of my soul? Do I have one?" No one knows. Does the Monster have a soul or no?
Yea but more of an artificial one
“Or was that a part that you left out?” “Who were these people which I am comprised? Good people? Bad people?”

Reminds me of a quote from Jurassic Park’s character Dr. Ian Malcolm played by Jeff Goldblum.
“You spent so much time trying to figure out if you could that you didn’t stop and consider whether or not you should!”
The knowledge resided in the mind, not the heart or hands.
Next question.
Muscle memories tho
😅 This is why non-duality is very important to understand. Everybody seems to think this way, it's painfull to see beings feel like these fictional chatacters
5:34 He should have leaned in with that instead of his brothers murder and Justine's framing
in the end ''yea I'm safe everyone.... just..... one little thingy I have to do... and we off to the bingo''
