#Doctor Pretorius

[piedalchemist]

[fatsamsgrandslamspeakeasy]

The absolute pinnacle of Universal Classic Horror Films, which only the Great Boris Karloff could have pulled off so effectively. Forgiving his father, Henry Frankenstein for past regressions, because Henry was dead against the creation of the "bride"....the monster spares his life, and Elizabeth's as well. No mercy, however, for the evil Pretorius and the synthetic "bride".....with the classic line: "You stay! We Belong Dead!!!" Delivered as only Karloff can, with the seriousness and effectiveness of dropping an A-bomb!!!!

I’m watching Bride of Frankenstein for pride month, This man really laid it on strong asking Frankenstein to make a baby with him the first night they met. Maybe Lesbians didn’t invent U-hauling...

what do you mean the focus of guillermo del toro’s frankenstein isn’t on the relationship between victor frankenstein and the creature 🫥

Doctor Septimus Pretorius is my favorite villain. He doesn’t want to destroy a city, or get revenge, or even gain notoriety. He wants to do mad scientist shit because it’s cool and he doesn’t mind if it takes a little coercion and murder to grease the wheels of progress. To him, moral judgments are silly, which makes him both amusing and frightening. Amusing because he’s a whimsical, spooky bastard. Frightening because he has no limits.

"The bride of Frankenstein"

On stage we saw Boris Karloff, Elsa Lanchester, Colin Clive, Valerie Hobson i Ernest Thesiger. The film is a continuation of the 1931 film titled "Frankenstein" in which most of the same actors appeared.

The film is not one of my favorites, but it is important in cinematography. Elsa's appearance in the film has become iconic for creators of comics and fairy tales. "The Bride of Frankenstein" is finally another one of Universal's unique and important monsters.

In the first scene of the film we can see Mary Shelley who, encouraged by her friend, begins to tell the sequel to her book.

of course, this part of the Frankenstein story also had a sequel titled "The Son of Frankenstein", in which Béla Lugosi appeared.

Dwight Frye appeared in the film, who in the first part, in which he played Fritz, died after being murdered by Frankenstein, but in Frankenstein's Bride, he played Karl, who was also killed by the monster. I don't think Dwight gets a happy ending in any movie.

The same people worked on the film as on the first part.

"The Bride of Frankenstein" was included in Time magazine's list of the 100 greatest films in history in 2005.

It is also interesting that Colin Clive, the film's Doctor Frankenstein, had a broken leg during the filming, which forced him to sit in most of the scenes in the film. this is called sacrifice.

The scene where Karl kills his aunt and uncle in a monster style was deleted from the film.

time for a summary.

The monster created by Dr. Frankenstein survives the mill disaster that took place in the movie Frankenstein. Meanwhile, its creator leads a quiet life with his beloved wife, Elizabeth. He does not know that at the same time another scientist, Dr. Pretorius, is conducting experiments on reviving human corpses. He wants to create a woman who will be a partner for the monster.

Worth watching (wait for the entry about nosfertu, I will be refreshing my film today, so I will write an entry soon).
