BRIDE OF CHUCKIE

This post is actually the Bride of Frankenstein


This was a very interesting film that made an impact to a lot of STS students especially to those who saw it for the first time. It was a very classic film that features black and white picture, a very artificial setting, and minimal effect but were impressive. The black and white feel of the pictures took me to the old times where pictures were not colored. The very background or the setting of the film was very artificial, no real setting was involved in this film. Back then, they relied too much in studios. The effects are very impressive especially the part where we see little people inside a jar. The way they did it was very good considering the time when it was created.

Science played a big role in his movie as it suggested that possible reincarnation of dead people might happen. In this film, they featured a monster, "Frankenstein", that was made by a scientist. They give him a name and a brain so that he can think. The probability of this event to happen may not be really positive but because the film is a non-fiction, people are persuaded that it can happen because of an expert who did it.

When we talked about the story, Frankenstein was made dumb for a lot of reasons. First, he was made dumb for spectacle of the whole movie. This allowed the movie to attract a lot viewers thinking that this monster was a gentle monster because of the way he thinks. Frankenstein was made to be dumb so that a lot of audience can easily relate to him, so that he may get the sympathy of the viewers. Did it work? Yes, I think it worked especially with my seatmates. His gently ways and approach to people even though he was so hideous in the outside melted the hearts of many people. It made the movie interesting as it featured another aspect of the monster's life which is love. It became more appealing to the audience because the concept of love was introduced to a bunch of resurrected dead people.

Over all, the movie was good. Disturbing at some point but good.
