God will punish all experiments

I read "Frankenstein's Rebirth Madness" which I read when I was a child. In fact, the original English name was "Mary Shelley's Frankenstein". It was estimated that the name was too "unintelligible" when translated. Adding a rebirth madness seems to be very interesting, but it is these four words that make this film just like a B-level film.

After seeing Frankenstein being misunderstood by the farmer, he lay down in the wild and cried. It really hurts me. People can only pity the weak who are completely incompetent. Although Frankenstein was powerful at the time, he was a very weak soul in his heart. He is eager to integrate into the human world, eager to have his own friends and companions. But the ugly appearance makes the world think he is a monster. Ugly like Frankenstein, he still has great love in his heart, and because of this love, he has great anger. I don't know if it is his sadness or his luck.

He killed his "inventor" Frankenstein's relatives and lovers, letting him fall from a happy life into the abyss of pain, self-blame and regret. But when Frankenstein finally died of depression, the weird man left sincere tears. Because although he hated Frankenstein, this man who only gave him life, gave him the impulse and feelings of life, but abandoned him and didn’t teach him how to use it, but he also regarded Frankenstein as the only one between himself and the world. There are links. Frankenstein is his friend and father. Even if this father doesn't even have the courage to look at the children he made by himself, even if this father has never given a name to a weird person, but this is not the same as this one. The beginning of the encounter in the world that welcomes him is the node and source of the question of "who am I".

The weird man said he had great anger and love in his heart. In fact, there is no contradiction. On the one hand, it is envy, envious of the beauty of the world and Frankenstein's happiness, on the other hand, jealousy and low self-esteem, negative emotions arising from one's own abomination and ugliness and abandonment. But when he finally swam to the ice floes and burned in the flames with Frankenstein's body in his arms, the world he had had enough of and the humans he had had enough of were abandoned.

There was a eulogy when Frankenstein died: God will punish all experiments because it goes against the will of the Lord, no matter if it is good or bad. Is there nothing worth taking seriously in the questioning and conservative attitude towards science? This novel was written in the 19th century. This is a time when science has replaced religion as a new belief and ideology. Obstacles and reservations to science are a symbol of "backwardness", "ignorance" and "stubbornness." It is believed that after idealistic religion and metaphysical philosophy, mankind finally found a completely neutral way to solve worldly things, fix social laws, and deal with the relationship between man and nature.

In the film, Frankenstein's teacher strongly denies the connection between science and philosophy. But science does involve philosophical and ethical issues. When we challenge the realm of God with the ambition of "changing the future", do we have a sense of what we are creating? Do we know that today's ambition may be tomorrow's infinite regret.


We are like the adventurers who went to the North Pole with a bankruptcy at the end of the story. We went all the way north and went our own way, looking for success and fame forever, but we are farther and farther away from our "home". The captain looked at the strange scenery of the weirdo and Frankenstein burning together on the Arctic Ocean. He dispelled the idea of ​​going north and decided to go home. In the actual historical process, the desire to march northward is extremely powerful. Although there are many difficulties and lessons, we have never given up. This is the greatness of mankind, but we have paid too much, and we have to pay more.

    Helena Bonham Carter was still not overcast...

    Frankenstein stories are always so moving. Helena is also beautiful. It's just that the so-called scientist protagonist is so stupid that it's hard to feel pity for him.
