It didn't change my life,but I do agree with you about
Frankenstein. I haven't read the book, but the
original movie--or maybe it was a first
remake--conveyed that quite well, I thought--that
Frankenstein was the way he was because of the
treatment he got. And am I wrong, or were his
intentions toward the lady fair misunderstood? Wasn't
he in love with her--didn't want to hurt her?
Beauty and the Beast--the original Cocteau movie--had
the same lesson, i.e., that you shouldn't judge people
by appearances. That's a beautiful, moving movie which
I highly recommend if anyone can get it or if it come
onto tv. I don't think it has to be seen--the
tenderness and kindness is in the beast's voice, as I
reacall--and he wasn't such a terrible-looking beast
either.
