Young Frankenstein Critique On October 19, 2017, I went to the Black Box Theatre at Lee High School in Huntsville, Alabama to see Young Frankenstein. The Independent Musical Production Incorporated produced the play. The play was Directed by Vivianne Atkins and Peter-John Sligting. Newt Johnson was the Musical Director. Upon arriving at the theater there was prerecorded music playing in the auditorium. Theme music from Halloween and the sound of thunder could be heard as guest were awaiting
The movie Young Frankenstein is about a neurosurgeon professor named Fredericks Frankenstein whose doesn't want to be known as Dr. Frankenstein grandson so calls himself Fronkensteen. Fredericks grandfather was known for trying to revive the dead, which Fredericks doesn't like when people bring it up so he calls himself Fronkensteen. Fredericks goes to Transylvania after he finds out that his grandfather gave him his castle. Frederick finds his grandfather's secret laboratory and also books on how
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. Young Frankenstein’s setting commences in New York where a neurosurgeon by
The theme of the movie Young Frankenstein is Identity. The reason behind identity is, Dr. Frankenstein doesn’t go by Frankenstein at the start of the movie, he doesn’t accept what his grandfather had done so he insists being called “Fronkensteen.” The “creature” that Dr. Frankenstein creates isn’t much of a monster at all, he’s just a soft hearted kind man, that is a little scared. As for Dr. Frankenstein’s assistant Inga, well she isn’t the innocent country girl she was made out to look like, neither
Old and Young Frankenstein Something that interested me greatly about Mary Shelley's Frankenstein was the treatment that the creature received from Frankenstein and the other people around him. I often wonder how things would have turned out had he been treated with a little bit of humanism and compassion, especially by his creator. What if Frankenstein had taken the responsibility as the creature's parent and created him with a little humanism and kindness? Would the
Comparing and Contrasting Shelley's Frankenstein with Brook's Young Frankenstein The 1818 book Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and the 1972 movie Young Frankenstein by Mel Brooks both portray the differences in feminism regarding the cultural times through the character of Elizabeth. When Mary Shelley wrote the book Frankenstein, she was on a mission to pursue equal rights in education for her daughter. In Shelley's time, the only way to show feminine empowerment was to be literate and well-poised
In Young Frankenstein the Musical, it is quite obvious where each part of play that we discussed in class takes place. For instance, the point of attack occurs when Dr. Frederick Frankenstein is told that he has to leave for Transylvania Heights in order to keep his late grandfather’s estate. When he gets there, he finds his grandfather’s book explaining how to reanimate the dead. He then begins having nightmares of people telling him that he must follow in his family’s footsteps and create a monster
Young Frankenstein and Mary Shelly's Frankenstein is seen as one of the best parody ever constructed. Mel streams depicts the fabulous violence motion picture in a truly virtuoso perspective. Regardless of the way that his depiction is near and dear the turn in his outline is a representation of the work of a honest to goodness virtuoso. This is the reason behind the 1970s film industry triumph. Moreover he changes startling circumstances into unfathomably fascinating and senseless circumstances
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to bring someone back from the dead? What if you replaced their rotten brain with an abnormal brain? This is the dramatic start to the comedic adventure of a classic movie, Young Frankenstein, produced by 20th Century Fox and released in 1974, where a series of events brings life to the dead. We will soon discuss what the conflict adds to the storyline, what the sound elements infer and let the viewer in on, and how the camera focus gives away knowledge
Young Frankenstein was a musical that the UA Theatre & Dance put on November 17-20 and 22, 2015. The play focuses on the grandson of Victor Frankenstein, Frederick, after he inherits his grandfather's large estate in Transylvania due to his grandfather’s death. Once arriving in Transylvania, Frederick gains his side-kick Igor and his assistant Inga. Frederick travels to his grandfather’s estate with the intent to close the place down and head back to New York so he can return to his fiance and continue
