Review 4K Movie

The film “Frankenstein” is not a story about a monster, but an exploration of the limits of human action, the nature of human responsibility, and what happens when a person tries to take the place of the creator.

Frankenstein is neutral by nature. He possesses an innate purity, a capacity for perception, goodness, and connection. Elizabeth sees in him the first sinless Adam—a hope for humanity. But from the very beginning, the creation finds himself in a world that reacts to him with fear and aggression.

People in this world shoot beautiful deer, strike first and ask questions later, destroy the weak, and get rid of the “unnecessary”—and this is precisely what becomes his first experience of what is considered normal. The film clearly shows that a character’s reality is shaped by their environment. Does the monster become a monster of its own free will—or is it merely a product of its environment?

This early 19th-century novel captures with striking accuracy the mechanisms of what we would today call trauma and cognitive distortions. Perhaps that is why it remains a classic.

The blind old man is the only chance to see goodness in this world. His blindness is symbolic: he interacts with the creature without prejudice because he cannot see its appearance. It’s almost a pure experiment—remove visual and social distortions, and the possibility for genuine connection emerges. But as soon as society’s “gaze” comes into play, fear returns along with it.

Even the creator, Victor, due to his own limitations and lack of experience, is unable to care for his creation, to be patient and loving. He creates it out of selfish and ambitious motives. He gives it a mind but refuses to take responsibility for it.

He hits his creation on the head because his two-week-old “child” doesn’t quote Shakespeare to him. He sets unrealistic expectations, and yet he himself sees his work as a disgrace—and therefore, something to be discarded. But a living being is not a test tube or a sculpture that can be covered with a trash can lid. It needs love and guidance. Without moral guidance and love, the creation becomes an orphan whose character will be shaped spontaneously by its surroundings. And the world, as we know, is no playground.

On the one hand, Frankenstein mimics human behavior. On the other—already possessing an understanding of good and evil—he consciously chooses violence. Mary Shelley does not idealize him, but neither does she allow him to be completely absolved of responsibility.

The old man who perished, the deceived Elizabeth, Victor rushing to save his own creation—the film constantly leaves a sense of a missed opportunity, that everything could have been different. If the creature had been surrounded by love, if it had been accepted, if there had been someone nearby to guide it, we might have witnessed a new form of intelligence, untainted by pain and rejection.

Morality is not an automatic consequence of reason. It requires cultivation, reinforcement, and, often, external authority. Without this, a person—even one capable of distinguishing between good and evil—easily succumbs to deviation. Not because they don’t understand, but because they are pressured by circumstances, pain, and their own interests. People aren’t bad; they simply don’t know what’s right.

In this sense, “Frankenstein” is not so much a warning about science as it is about humanity. It shows that reason without external moral support is unstable. It shows that a human in the role of creator is far worse than any god. And it shows that every act of cruelty has a root cause.
