Compare The Birthing Scene In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Directed By Kenneth Branagh (1994) With The Original Version Directed By James Whale (1931). Which Do You Think Is Most Effective And Why?

1361 words - 5 pages . The James Whale is considered by many people to be a classic because it is still being watched some 70 years later. Although "Mary Shelley's Frankenstein' by Kenneth Branagh is still too modern to be considered a classic, I think in years to come it will still be being watched as one of the best "Frankenstein' adaptations.I think "Frankenstein' is the type of film that improves as technology develops, allowing better special effects, and, to some extent, reality.
