	Frankenstein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is a novel by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley.
		Frankenstein is the former name of Ząbkowice Śląskie, a city in Silesia, and the historical home of the Frankenstein family.
		Frankenstein and his utter disregard for the human and animal remains gathered in his pursuit of power can be taken as symbolic of the rampant forces of laissez-faire capitalism extant at the time and their basic disregard for human dignity.

	Review of Frankenstein (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Frankenstein, one of the key texts in modern literature, was written by Mary Shelley in 1818 when she was only 21.
		Frankenstein is convinced that his monster committed the crime, but a piece of evidence has been planted with Justine, the family maid.
		Frankenstein is quite glib, and doesn't learn from his own philosophizing, another of the book's ironies; at one point, he says: "A human being in perfection ought always to preserve a calm and peaceful mind, and never to allow passion or a transitory desire to disturb his tranquillity.

	Aija Ozolins- Recent Work on Mary Shelley and Frankenstein
		Frankenstein is termed "a science fiction morality" (p 30), "the first great myth of the industrial age" (p 23), and "the first real novel of science fiction" and the prototype of "the modern theme" (p 29), i.e.
		The height of Frankenstein’s egotism is his turning away from "family, friends; and fiancée to perform his ‘creative’ act in isolation." Kiely points out how the main theme of the novel—the fatal consequences of egotism—is reinforced by a counter-theme on the virtue of friendship (pp 165-166).
		Frankenstein counters by insisting that his efforts on behalf of truth and the advancement of knowledge exempt him from considering the moral implications of his work.

	McLeod, "Frankenstein: Unbound and Otherwise" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		But for Frankenstein to be unbound, as he is in Aldiss' novel, he must first be born, and the origin of the species is Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.
		Frankenstein is, after all, the tale of man awakening to his dreams and to himself, and opening his eyes to horror.
		If Frankenstein's creature primarily embodies the monstrosity of an unrestrained intellect, cold and forbidding as the glaciers he inhabits, the horror he reflects is not restricted to the cerebral.

		.Frankenstein’s is the modern predicament, involving the post- Rosseauvian dichotomy between the individual and his society, as well as the encroachment of science on that society, and mankind’s dual nature, whose inherited ape curiosity has brought him both success and misery" (51).
		Dracula Unbound also develops the idea that syphilis, that great sexual scourge of the days before penicillin, is as much the subject of Stoker’s novels as is the sensual and deadly Count.
		In Frankenstein Unbound and Dracula Unbound, Joe Bodenland is the mythological hero who stands against corruption; Frankenstein’s monster and his bride die at Joe’s hands, and it is Joe who defeats the vampires and destroys the time train in Dracula Unbound.

	Frankenstein Unbound (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		At first it sounds like it could still be one of those ‘bad but enjoyable’ films, and that is how it seems at the start, but by the end it is embarrassingly dreadful and an insult to Mary Shelley’s original masterpiece.
		His acting is not bad, but the way he portrays Frankenstein seems unsuitable- way too over the top, with a hint of humour, completely unlike the scientist of the novel.
		It is also incredibly unlikely that if Frankenstein had been a foul, middle aged madman, Mary Shelley would possibly have turned him into a young and honourable gentleman in the novel.

	Frankenstein (1931)
		The film's most famous scene is the one in which Frankenstein befriends a young girl named Maria at a lake's edge, and mistakenly throws her into the water (and drowns her) along with other flowers.
		Frankenstein pats the coffin with his ear close to it, murmuring that there will be a resurrection: "He's just resting - waiting for a new life to come." They haul the heavy coffin back with them on a cart as the moon rises.
		Frankenstein hopes to use the victim's brain in his experimental attempt to assemble a new human life form, but the body falls to the ground.

	Ziggy's Video Realm: Colin Clive is Frankenstein (1931) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		One of the quintessential classic horror films, Universal’s 1931 rendition of Frankenstein has truly stood the test of time, even more than seventy years on; indeed, if anything, it only becomes better with age, as it may first be in modern times that its sympathetic take on the monster has truly found its audience.
		Frankenstein needs this corpse, you see, for raw material to build a new, improved man, a man into whom the doctor intends to introduce the spark of life, taking the power of God as his own…
		There is simply no need for this, for the monster is actually never inexplicably violent; his violence is either unwitting or in response to being tortured or threatened or treated with fear; it is in fact a disservice to the character to have this silly add-on of an “abnormal” brain, and worth a deduction.

		The professor realises that Frankenstein's monster must be destroyed, and so he makes a plan to use his new weopon to transport the creature into a new time.
		After the professor has taken Dr Frankenstein and his monster to a new time and destroyed them, the film just leaves him wandering around what looks like the north pole, and we never know if he gets back home or dies or whatever.
		Frankenstein Unbound provides quite a refeshing change to the old Frankenstein novel and because it actually takes us back into the time when the book was written, we get to see the whole Frankenstein thing from a different angle and perspective.

		If the enduring popularity of the Frankenstein story and its variants is anything to judge by, the answer is no. And endure it does: From Frankenweenie to Frankenhooker to Roger Corman's Frankenstein Unbound, this is a story that has inspired almost countless retellings.

		Whale's Frankenstein is a monster movie with a twist: the monsters are the supposedly normal humans, and the putative monster is a misunderstood and tormented creature.

	Classic-Horror Review of Frankenstein Unbound (1990)
		Frankenstein finds that he likes Buchanan, also, and sees them as the same person from different times.
		The Time Unbound concept is very good, and I can see an entire film of that, or at least an interesting novel.
		The whole thing comes to head in a poor finale that might have worked if the Frankenstein/Buchanan connection had time to be drawn better, but as it is, it lacks the poetic justice of the book's original novel, or the tragedy of the 1931 Universal film.

		Frankenstein Unbound nearly defies all attempts at description, just as it does nearly all attempts at true appreciation and nearly all attempts at loathing, both of which it deserves.
		Frankenstein Unbound is based on a novel by Brian W. Aldiss, and has been adapted in part by Corman himself to make ready for the great man’s return to the helm.
		Frankenstein Unbound is the paradox that is a Roger Corman Art House Film, semi-intellectual Grade Z material that is, in its own way, just as Unbound and the characters themselves.

	The Superhero Hype! Boards - What is the best Frankenstein...film? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Frankenstein (1931)-So what if it is as accurate to the novel as a piece of crap...this film is not a piece of crap.
		The Bride of Frankenstein (1935)-Most people prefer this to Frankenstein (1931), because it is better directed, has the highest production value of the old Universal films (truly one of the only 4 Universal movies of monsters old that can be argued as non-B movies) this was an A-movie.
		I don't put it above Frankenstein (1931), because the story is not nearly as good (or as interesting anyway) and they turned the egotistical almost insane Dr. Frankenstein and made him a poor victim, nay a patsy for that other doctor.

		Frankenstein, loved by many decades of readers and praised by such eminent literary critics as Harold Bloom, seems hardly to need a recommendation.
		Forget the Frankenstein from the movies and come read the real story of a man, Dr. Victor Frankenstein, who is a brilliant scientist with an obsession: play to be God, creating a living human being all by himself.

		And it seems that Frankenstein's lumpy-faced (but articulate) creation is creating havoc around town, and is angry at the Doctor because he refuses to make him a mate.
		More important, Frankenstein is upset because in his quest to free humankind "from a cruel and ficticious God," he has instead created an abomination.
		But in Buchanan he finds a kindred spirit, because while Frankenstein has bent the laws of nature by creating a man, his friend from the future has "fractured the core of time and space" with his foolhearty pursuits.

	Frankenstein (1994) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		I had expected Frankenstein to be your classic, everyday, lame horror film which you only watch to get some cheap thrills, and see some horrible overacting.
		Frankenstein is somewhat obsessed with death, after losing his mother at an early age, so he attempts to create a new form of artificial life, derived from various body parts of corpses: a life which cannot be so easily extinguished, and is superior to normal human life in every aspect.
		Before Frankenstein, the only movies I had seen with him were Analyze This and Analyze That, and those were comedies, so it was difficult to see his skills as a serious actor, but in playing Frankenstein's creation he created a character that is confused, alone, hostile, manipulative and clever: a very conflicted anti-hero.
