Unfortunately, there really are people who are totally driven by vain emotions. And then they refuse to take responsibility for their actions because their emotions made them do it. <br /><br />I guess there probably is no real possible way to depict the events of the story in a movie considering the irregularity of the chain of events. But I definitely think they could have done better.

No rational person would have behaved as did Dr. Frankenstein and others on numerous occasions. And the unfolding of events is illogical on various levels. I guess that is why none of the movies follow the book closely.<br />Jeff Colemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15487617570444403143noreply@blogger.com
