Marriage Blues - Reaction Paper on "The Bride of Frankenstein"

            Marriage blues is defined as having a sudden fear of marriage on or before walking down the aisle or being committed to someone. So how come this term came up? Well this is because of the film “The Bride of Frankenstein” which we viewed the other day. The term came up during the last scene of the film where Frankenstein’s mate wouldn’t accept him even though both of them were made supposedly for each other. I was like, “ooh, this is marriage blues”.

           So let’s talk about relationships or love. It is a game of give and take. It’s like a chain of supply and demand where once the flow stops, when the other party is no longer able to meet the needs and wants of the other party or vice-versa, it’s all over. In the movie, I’m not sure what his mate was looking for, but whatever that is, he did not seem to have which is why it was already over for them from the start.

               

          Moving on to the serious side of the story, the film is actually a sequel which takes off immediately after the last events of its prequel Frankenstein. Again aside from being a “horror” science fiction, like the others it touches upon the aspect of morality – what is right and what is not in the eyes of man. Given science raison d'être – to decode the mysteries of Go, and life itself, they can’t help if people see their acts as immoral for what they are doing will led to the betterment and enlightenment of each and every one of us.

          In a sense, people criticizing science are like people who have marriage blues since at first they are very excited about the findings and progress. But towards the end, they suddenly chicken out.
