and i agree, Frankenstein's build to evil sociopath wasnt a build at all. it was an organic and seamless thread of his character. no big "here it is" moment. that's part of why the movie was sad
there was this one scene, after Frankenstein created the new life, he returns to civilization for his brothers wedding. that scene was heartbreaking and so hard to watch. he just kept pushing the creature, who was there as a man not as some antagonistic force. then he tried to shoot it out of rage, which he knew wouldn't work anyway. killedhis brothers fiance, who he also loved or at least wanted. then the commotion continues and his brother gets his head cracked open
that was so difficult. then he takes the cowards way out. abandons life, abandons society, faces no repercussions. just goes on an emdless hunt in order to get what to me was death by cop (frankenstein) suicide. he never owned it, amd even to the very end seemed insincere. but the creature was better than that.
it was such a good movie
