Movie 229/1001 ~ Frankenstein

Frankenstein is a 1931 adaptation of the Mary Shelley novel of the same name. The movie is just over an hour and is fairly entertaining. There are a few common misconceptions about the movie. Firstly, I thought the name of the monster was frankenstein, but it isn't. Frankenstein is the name of the creator and NOT the monster. Furthermore, the hunchbacked assistant is NOT named Igor. I'm not sure exactly how these misconceptions came about, but it is intriguing nonetheless. I also like the narrator at the beginning of the film that warns the audience that they might find the film horrifying (it isn't). Basically, it was interesting, but ultimately, not very entertaining or horrifying for a modern audience.

Fun Fact: During the movie a little girl has a cat in her arms and she tells her dad to stay and play with her and the cat. Look at the cat. It is NOT happy at all.
