THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN: “It should be a helluva downer, but Whale’s story — and, more importantly, Karloff’s performance — generates a greater realization. I walk out of BRIDE knowing that everyone feels misunderstood. Everyone is in need of a friend who both accepts and “gets” them. There are many times in life when we don’t have such friends, but that’s a sad fact mitigated by our unity in longing. Anyone who really pays attention to BRIDE identifies with the creature. In one of the single finest performances ever captured on film, Karloff represents all of our longing, all of our simple joy, all of our optimism, and in the end, a determined and brave wisdom to which all of us can only aspire.” From MONSTER SERIAL, published by The Collinsport Historical Society, via silverscreams. -- source link
