The Bride of Frankenstein, although it's displayed in black and white, made me speechless before going home. It's not because of the monster, nor the setting, but because I consider it a morality play, and also because of the values it reminded us -- yes, it's 'reminded' since I'm positive that we were taught of it. Even though Frankenstein's monster raged and became a real monster, making Frankenstein regret that he made him, he still have a heart.
I believe that every bad guy has their inner goodness, just for example the scene in Tangled, we can see the other side of a villain when all we see is their bad side(see video).
And as for the monster of Frankenstein, we witnessed his gentleness when someone treated him properly, like a real friend. He experienced the feeling of being appreciated and being accepted by humans even though he belongs to the dead. There is so much "feels" for the part when a tear dropped from his terrifying eyes. But then he was captured and took away from the man who made him feel special. Then there's this scientist who desires to create more monsters and to resurrect the dead, and had met Frankenstein's monster, who is so desperate for love and attention, thus making the scientist pursue in making the perfect bride for him with the help of Frankenstein. But after all the hard work, the bride was scared of the monster and didn't love him. The scientist by the way isn't concerned about the good of the people, but rather than the power and fame.
There are so much reminders in this film, but the thing that struck me the most was the fact that even a monster wants acceptance. This can be applied in real life, real humans who are rejected by humankind. Those people who are criticized and judged by other people, thus affecting the way the person lives. So what if we imagine that we all have the same faces, same race, same language, same in every aspect, then who are we to judge? But then again we're not, so instead of judging people on the way they look or the way they act, just accept them, and if you can love them, love them. Since it is written in the bible in John 13:34-35 - "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." If people loved each other like brothers and sisters, not caring of the physical appearance, there won't be lonely people that are more prone of doing evil things. But I think it's too late for Frankenstein's monster, since in the first place, all he need was love.
