it's about love AND responsibility. Frankenstein was responsible for the creature and yet took no responsibility for it or it's actions, while the creature had no one to love him despite desperately roaming the earth looking for it.
Vastly underrated film, deserves far more credit than it got. Great performances by an international cast (especially by DeNiro as the creature) , production values, locations, and this music score by Patrick Doyle.
I don't get why this movie was so poorly received. Sure, the old black-and-white version with Igor is more fun, and more iconic, but this movie *VERY* accurately followed the source material. It captured all the romanticism emotions from the 1800s that Mary and Percy tried to capture in writng, and had a killer soundtrack to couple. I mean come on, 2:56 is badass and everyone knows it.
Did any character in the history of film ever lose as much as Brannaghs Frankenstein? He set out to defeat death and it came for him with a vengeance - what a tragic and sad story
very accurate and faithful to the source material, if not a bit over-the-top. lot of people hated this movie but I really liked it, it was a fresh take on the gothic-romanticism era of literature. the music and framing shots were outstanding.
Even thoug hthe movie didn't do as well as it should have (still good but not perfect), Patrick Doyle doesn't disappoint. His music is great even in bad movies like Eragon. I think he and Hans Zimmer are my favorite composers.
@Spyflugan91 The book is outstanding and is perfectly retold in this film. So gruesome yet fascinating yet mornful how such a brilliant mind can loose so much, gain so much, then ultimately create an intelligent, monstorous, and gruesome creature like us, humans, require love and compassion
@Spyflugan91 I don't think people hate it. It just hasn't gotten much attention. It's the most underrated movie I've seen. Granted, it's not scary in the horror movie sense, but that's the whole point. The novel was scary in that it presented the situation of technology going too far and creating something beyond anyone's control, and the film does a fantastic job of conveying that.
We read it, *and* watched the movie while I was in college for one of our class meetings in Brit Lit II and I feel like out of all the Frankensteins, this one was the most faithful to the source material. It accurately portrayed the romantic-era writing that Mary Shelly and her husband did. It's not quite as much fun as the old black-and-white version with the "Igor" character, but it was still a very emotionally wrenching and devastating movie and the soundtrack was beautiful and powerful.
It's the best version and soundtrack of Frankenstein in the history. Kenneth Branagh "genius", Tom Hulce "divine and amazing actor ", Helena Bonham Carter "talented actress", Robert Deniro "great performance".
It was nominated for many Oscars- Best Actor: Kenneth Branagh Best Supporting Actor- Robert DeNiro Best Supporting Actress- Helena Bonham-Carter, Best Makeup, Best Score- Patrick Doyle, and Best Screenplay, but it didn't win ANY awards! Now I might not be a big fan of horror movies, but Doyle's score for this film is absolutely breathtaking and should have won the Oscar in 1994.
From the begining to 1:08 and from 2:57 to the end are my tow most favorite parts of this song. I like the first part a little more because there is just something so haunting about it, yet enchanting as well. It kind of shows the rage and angst of the Creature, yet his sorrow for not belonging with humans as well. The second part is a bit more frantic yet adds in the first parts theme/parts of the theme from the first part keeping it haunting yet exciting. At 3:38 of the second part, is epic!
I do the same thing! Try listening to Danny Elfman's music- The images I get are so vivid with his music, especially 'Final Confrontation' from Batman Returns (I picture the Batman Rogues gallery forming an army)
If you like Doyle's Gothic music you should try listening his score for Harry Potter and the aGoblet of Fire. There's an astounding romantic piece called "Harry in Winter" and then many dark and spectacular passages in "Voldemort" and "The Dark Mark", the introduction of the latter being a feasr played by London Symphony Orchestra
For me also the film was somewhat lacking, but i have to love it overall as i was part of the Animated Extras FX team ;) and my word we put in some bloody hours on this one!!
If I made an adaptation of the novel, I’d keep it faithful to the novel, with the only differences being that it takes place not in the 18th century, but the present day, and it would take place in the United States. The creature also wouldn’t be hideous, but he would be like Hannibal Lecter (Brilliant, charming, and articulate... but sociopathic and dangerous.) Basically, Captain Robert Walton would be a police officer interrogating Victor, who recounts his story. The creature would be created by cloning. Plus, as a mythology gag, Hank Clerval’s middle name would be Igor. It would also go by the alternate title “The Modern Prometheus”.
@LordScreech Yep. Still in all fairness I liked most of the cast, the costumes, the sets, the effects (I'm not much for CGI but it worked for that) as I said the music in Eragon, but the screenplay and direction were terrible. The music is a saving grace though. The positives go for this and Bram Stoker's Dracula too. While not perfect and with a few mis-casts, both are visual marvels and do follow the story more when not adding their own twists. The music in both films is great as well.

This movie is not only a horror movie, it also shows that everyone, also Frankenstein's creature needs love. GREAT MOVIE!!! I love u Helena!!
Its not about love, its about responsibility.
@@bandersnatch1698 don’t abandon your own son just because is kind of ugly.
it's about love AND responsibility.
Frankenstein was responsible for the creature and yet took no responsibility for it or it's actions, while the creature had no one to love him despite desperately roaming the earth looking for it.
its not horor. Its epic drama. because there's no scary parts. i think.
It's not a horror movie it's science fiction, Mary Shelley created this new genre of literature
One of the underrated soundtracks of the past twenty years
Now it's one of the most underrated soundtracks of the past thirty years

One of Patrick Doyle's finest moments. Dark, moving and deeply evocative.
best frankenstein movie...
I love Doyle's score.
This piece is great one.
Patrick Doyle is a genius
it was strange but fantastic film. brings me to tears
this is the best and most scary, creepy Frankenstein, and the music is so beautyful
I do find it astonishing it was such a critical failure
@@joflynn999It wasn't as good as Coppola's Dracula.
Did any character in the history of film ever lose as much as Brannaghs Frankenstein? He set out to defeat death and it came for him with a vengeance - what a tragic and sad story
amazing soundtrack! amazing movie!...one of the best.
Best Frankenstein Film

Robert De Niro is amazing and so sad.., greatest movie !!!!
everything about the movie is beautiful especially the music... i love it

Mind-blowingly beautiful!!!

Finally, read Frankenstein, and after getting over Shelley's stodgy, legalese-like, archaic rhetoric, 1816, it was most excellent.
Such a classic
great soundtrack!
💖💖💖💖💖Magnificent!
amazing.exelent movie....
I love this theme

i fu................love this movie, very scariy and love the music
Essa música é linda , a melhor parte é de 1:08 à 2:56 , muito emocionante esse trecho. :' )

In what alternative universe that happened?
2:00 to 2:20 is beautiful
SO dark and dangerous for the first minute :)
Although the frenetic pace, it's full of emotion too.
*IT'S ALIVE!*

fabulosa la musica de Frankestein
Robert De Niro, what a guy
this is a nice soundtrack=)
I feel the only thing this score is missing is a choir singing some Star Wars duel of the fates sounding lyrics
I do the same thing! Try listening to Danny Elfman's music- The images I get are so vivid with his music, especially 'Final Confrontation' from Batman Returns (I picture the Batman Rogues gallery forming an army)

For me also the film was somewhat lacking, but i have to love it overall as i was part of the Animated Extras FX team ;) and my word we put in some bloody hours on this one!!
The movie was alright. Some good moments, especially with De Niro but the music for sure was excellent
best film from robert de niro
This Movie and Much Ado About Nothing are the Best of Kennet Branagh!
sountrack also amazing.
Please Wait of Patrick Doyle. Very very....
exelent music, exelent movie...
How can there be 1 dislike?! That person must be deaf!
Underrated
A remix of all CD JAJA LOL

It would also go by the alternate title “The Modern Prometheus”.
1:08 !!!!!!!!!!!!
coco loco 1:08 - 2:56 :' )
this is a movie...
harri hiltunen yes? And what do you mean by that, we know that.
