Tim Burton is one of the most unusual and unique directors of our time. He brings characters to life by putting them in a habitat they don’t belong.

Tim Burton’s gothic drama film Edward Scissorhands explores what is immoral with our society. A present issue with humanity is people who are different are encouraged to conform. In addition, society plays by the rules and follow societal norms rather than listening to their hearts. Most importantly, humans are cruel and exploit those who are vulnerable for their own benefit. Through the use of film techniques, Burton proposes the faults in humanity and the brutal nature of humans.

In reading the book Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, and watching the by the same title, I discovered several large differences. Primarily, the edited and modified parts were changed to make the movie more interesting.

The film Frankenstein in the 1930’s was criticized because of its many imperfections such as the reused settings, acting, and overall plot. The original film is under the genre of horror, however Mel Brooks (director) creates a parody that pokes fun of the cinematic and dramatic techniques. Young Frankenstein is a comedic parody that is enjoyable for an audience regardless of whether they have viewed the original or not.

The film Edward Scissorhands directed by Tim Burton is about a boy who has been kept away from society his whole life in a mansion surrounded by unkempt bushes and rusted gates. Alex grey once said, “In a society that tries to standardise thinking, individuality is not highly prized.” And that shows when Edward is ostracised because he is different and does not conform to the so-called statuesque but the almost unwavering love from the Boggs family nearly helps him overcome his rejection, after people are so cruel, because regardless of people differences everyone should be treated equally.

Youthful Frankenstein and Mary Shelly's Frankenstein is viewed as one of the best spoof ever made. Mel creeks portrays the excellent blood and guts movie in a really virtuoso viewpoint. In spite of the fact that his portrayal is close to home the turn in his delineation is an illustration of the work of a genuine virtuoso. This is the purpose behind the 1970s film industry victory. Furthermore he transforms frightening circumstances into inconceivably interesting and silly circumstances. The motion picture Young Frankenstein opens up what is done in high contrast. This was the same case with Mary Shelly's Frankenstein's. The opening up of the film in highly contrasting was done to keep the validness in Young Frankenstein. This was a move to make Young Frankenstein more alarming and genuine.

House of Frankenstein is the follow-up to Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man and I have mixed feelings about it. While I love that Lon Chaney Jr. returns to this iconic role as the wolf man and that Boris Karloff appears in a main role. But the events that unfold, mostly those revolving around the lore of the Wolf Man that it lays in place. But I'll gripe about that in a moment.

A Comparison of Film and Novel Versions of Frankenstein The nature of horror stories gives the reader/audience a feeling of intense fear, shock or disgust. It creates an atmosphere of tension for the reader/audience. Horror stories are designed to entertain people by causing enjoyable feelings of horror.

There are many differences between the 1994 ‘Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein’ movie, the 1931 ‘Frankenstein’ movie, and Mary Shelley’s actual book. Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein; or the Modern Prometheus, in the early seventeenth century, and since then, many movies have been modeled after it. All movies have addition scenes and removed parts from the book to make it more entertaining to watch and keep the reader engaged. Furthermore, Mary Shelley included many details that did not contribute to the plot and therefore had no place in the movies. The 1994 version of Frankenstein, featuring Robert De Niro, is supposedly the most true to the book movie, while the 1931 version differs greatly from the original text. Frankenstein, Victor, and the

This movie is based on Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel Frankenstein, and with some new idea from Max Landis, (Kenny, 2015). This movie is just brilliant, both idea combined turned into a masterpiece. The old movie is quality is bad because the movie is old. The remade movie improved a lot with the help of today’s filming technologies made the movie way more scary and intense, like other today’s film. Not only that the makeup and the fake blood is scary. Although there are a lot of remade Frankenstein movies already, but they are still making it until today. This shows that a legendary novel will last forever. (From Wikipedia and Google

How can we think of Frankenstein and ignore the film classic of 1931? Yet the celebrated film does not follow the novel by Mary Shelley. Although the scene of a futuristic laboratory entrances movie audiences with the mad Dr. Frankenstein and his faithful assistant Igor, the scene is derived from twentieth century imaginations and interests, not the novel itself.

Now, I’m going to analyze the selected films. I want to start with the first film Frankenstein, James Whale. In this film, I realize that it is not a good representation of the water, because the film’s director only uses the sound of the water, specifically, the rain’s sound; but it does not exist the image of the rain. We only can find a small image of the rain, but in a secondary scene. According my opinion, this film has not helped me to represent the idea of the water in Frankenstein like Shelley represents it in her
