young frankenstien, zach pedroncelli


Young Frankenstein was the best film I think we have watched up to this point. I did my expectations essay on this film and it met them in many different ways. It was laugh out loud funny with characters that solely their personalities made the film amusing. With scenes ranging from Igor’s ever changing pronunciation to Abby normal brain mix up. This film exaggerates emotion and leaves characters with dumbed down personalities making for a witty and amusing film as a whole. The doctor’s temper and the ditsy attractive assistant make for laughs all in themselves. Although predictable one of the most amusing scenes occurs when the doctor and his assistant go into the cellar with skull models set up showing how old they were then Igor pops up into the display on the final model. The mix between tense or suspicious creepy feeling with constant comic relief is one of the strongest aspects of this film as a whole. I thought the black and white filming of the movie added to the feel and made it resembling in aspects to the original film. The dim lighting throughout also made for a positive addition to the setting. Overall the film was full of laughs and met my expectations from my previous writings.
