MOVIE ADAPTATIONS OF THE NOVEL:- (Click here For more information by The Guardian)

A novel considered very famous when everyone likes to read it. Or sold out in huge numbers. But in this time a person don't like to read books can also know what is the plot or story of the novel by watching movies. Of course every movies has some exceptions and some scenes are apart from original novel. For the expression of the dialogues movie is a good option but if you want to know really what writer want to say to us to watch novel is considerable. So let's look some adaptations of the novel Frankenstein. 

❄️IGOR (2008):-

In this time we we can see so many examples of the adaptations of the novel but this adaptation of the novel is in cartoonic way. All evil scientists have hunchbacked assistants called Igor in this sub-Tim Burton animation full of Frankenstein references.(The Guardian)

❄️MARRY SHELLEY'S FRANKENSTEIN (1994):-

This adaptation of the novel consider as a famous and more related plot and story of the novel Frankenstein Original text. Kenneth Branagh directed and stars in this po-faced gothic tosh as a mittel-European medical student who strips down to reveal unfeasibly well-toned abs as he leaps around his lab, marinading his monster in a giant fish kettle.(The Guardian)

❄️DEPRAVED (2019):-

The indie horror honcho Larry Fessenden’s take on the Frankenstein story begins with an amnesiac stabbing victim waking up in a makeshift Brooklyn lab with a stitched-together body. The PTSD-afflicted ex-military medic who revived him tries to educate his creation in all things beautiful, but his partner has less elevated plans for the creature. Good characters, lo-fi psychedelia, sadness, doom.(The Guardian)

❄️ FRANKENSTEIN (1931):-

As the 1994 movie on Frankenstein this movie is also famous or I can say earlier famous movie based on Frankenstein novel by Mary Shelley. “It’s alive!” No sooner has Henry Frankenstein (not yet a baron) cobbled together a creature from bits of cadaver than he wanders off to get married – apparently suffering from mad-scientist ADHD – leaving the monster to throttle Frankenstein’s assistants and drown a little girl before a fiery finale. Boris Karloff, of course, does wonders in a wordless role beneath Jack Pierce’s quintessential makeup. Whale’s Frankenstein movie was not the first (there were at least three silents, including a 1910 short from Edison Studios), but it interpreted Shelley’s story with a visionary magic that casts its spell over the horror genre to this day. (The Guardian) 

All these and other adaptation of the novel Frankenstein has similarities and differentiation from each other even though every adaptations and novel are as famous as eachother. 

SENCES FROM THE MOVIE FRANKENSTEIN (1994):-

⭐(Source:-TPOTOishere)

This secen about the bride of the creature, like how Frankenstein is desperate to alive Elizabeth after her death and how creature demanding her as his bride. And in this fight between Victor and creature have Elizabeth kill herself with the fire is very Pathetic and pitiful scene.

This is the last scene of the movie and the best heart touchable scene of the movie. How creature cry on the death of Victor and how he fire up himself with victor's burning ashes.

This is the very first interesting scene of the movie while Victor try to make creature and try to alive him.

This is some famous and interesting scene of the movie which I considered notable.
