The Bride is considered one of the great movie monsters of all time, even though she's on film for less than 5 minutes, and she's the only classic monster to have never killed anyone. I'm glad you talked about the tragic undertones of the film - the ideas of acceptance, rejection, loneliness are represented so beautifully - especially in the heartbreaking scene with the blind man. I'm actually using moments from that scene in an anti-bullying presentation I'm putting together. The man's kindness (and the Creature's need for kindness) is so moving and powerful. Great review! (Also - Ms. Lanchester modeled her Bride after swans - they are beautiful, but quite nasty birds.)MarqueeMovieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12083597575651631952noreply@blogger.com
