This scene is the wish fulfillment for every generation of the novel's fans. Although the film itself is a parody, its always moving to see the Creature finally meet acceptance from his creator albeit in the most hilarious way.
It only took a hundred and fifty-six years, but finally a Frankenstein is able to see his Creature as a child in need of love... goddamn, I love this movie.
Who else but Mel Brooks can come up with a speech like this that renders Fredrik's frightening creation into a very big baby? He talks the creature into submission with kindness and praise! Who didn't tear up seeing Peter Boyle's character break down crying?
And this is why Fredrik got a happy ending; unlike Victor he didn't reject his creation. "Young Frankenstein" is more than just a hillarious parody, which it is, and a loving tribute to the 30s Universal horror movies, which it also is. It is imo the best Frankenstein movie made.
Yep. It asks the pivotal question: what if Frankenstein had a heart? What if he didn't reject his creation? It's hilarious, but it's also a genuinely good and satisfying sequel because of that aspect.
"Hello handsome " has aged like fine wine. I was a teenager when I first saw this, and it was good for a laugh. And like all teenagers, you just don't have the capacity to truly appreciate the finer things. Dozens of rewatches over the years and it gets better and better. Those 2 simple words became pure gold in this delivery. And I'm not sure there's anybody else I can think of that could've match Gene Wilder's perfection here. True legend. RIP.
"Get me out of here. Let me out of here. Get me the hell out of here. What the hell's the matter with you people, I was joking!.. " Wilder is so awesome.
I love that even though this movie is a comedy, it still has really raw lines like "Together you and I are going to make the greatest single contribution to science since the creation of fire!" and his whole speech right before conducting the initial experiment.
You know it’s masterclass comedy gold when you can watch it over and over through the years, and it’s just as hilarious each and every time. Love, love Gene Wilder.
Where's his Oscar nomination?? I mean come on... this is an incredible blend of comedy and sincere emotion, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Who else could have pulled this off. His entire performance is genius.
I think this is part of why the film is so good and so funny. There's a sincerity to it, a genuine love for what it's parodying. Frankenstein's freakout is funny, but his over-the-top love for his creation is even funnier.
On top of how brilliant it is as a comedy, this is a fantastic looking movie. That they spent so much care getting the look right really adds to the overall effect.
R.I.P. Marty Feldman (1934-1982) (Igor), Peter Boyle (1935-2006) (The Monster), Gene Wilder (1933-2016) (Dr. Frederick Frankenstein) and Cloris Leachman (1926-2021) (Frau Blucher). Now Teri Garr is the only person that is still alive that is in this scene.
This is just like the climax of Act 2 of an play, with Gene Wilder's brilliant "My name is FRANKENSTEIN!!" marking the intermission and the audience eager for more.
See, no offense to Mary Shelley, I know the story wouldn’t exist without her, but this version is my favorite. What can I say? I love my sad, deep, artsy-fartsy stuff but this is lovely.
@@Eva-uw6uoMary Shelley never made a "version" as you put it. She wrote the original story on which every "version" is based. No film has ever really captured the story in its totality.
@@SpeccyMan yeah. the original version. the first version. the initial version. the true version. There's literally no reason in my mind why version doesn't count, the source material is the first version- or sometimes the second or third if it had drafts prior that change over the years like Hunchback of Notre Dame, but in Mary Shelly's case it's the first version- at least to our knowledge, unless she had rough drafts lying around prior. I will agree however that ot has never been adapted properly, even Junji Ito's take isn't perfect as faithful as it was for a comic.
Truth be told, the brilliance of Mary Shelley’s story is that it’s actually an allegory about how an artist can grow to hate his or her own creation, especially if it becomes more famous than the artist. If the work of art were animate, it would try to understand why the artist rejected it and lash out from those feelings of rejection. So in Shelly’s imagination, Frankenstein’s Monster could be the work of art that an artist might produce that is so popular that he or she might never be able to top it and it takes on a life of its own.
@@outpost31mac And I'm not sure whether Mel or Gene intended it, but the whole of the story is a good metaphor for Jewish Americans hiding their heritage for the purpose of assimilation, and rising above that intolerance to accept your ancestry and who you are in the present.
This in fact is the action that the original Frankenstein failed to provide the monster. Had Frankenstein simply provided moral support and education the monster would not have been the creature of Destruction he was portrayed as.
_nice working with you_ ... the best line in the whole film, performed with Marty's usual genius. This scene illustrates the brilliance of the film's b/w lighting, without which it just wouldn't fly. The lighting director was an unnamed star.
No way is that line funnier than the "Abbey Someone" lines. "I believe that was the name" - pure hilarity. And when he quotes at the breakfast table the thing his Dad always used to say to him during tough times.
Peter Boyle was starting to lose the prosthetic eyebrow ridges and bald cap as Gene Wilder was grasping his head, you can see him starting to look into the camera while Wilder was finishing his speech with a "WTF?" expression. But to his credit he stayed in character and finished the scene. Brilliant acting from both gentlemen. 💯
Even though this scene is silly and very over-the-top, it's always been my favorite in the whole movie. In Mary Shelley's original novel, the crux of the story is Victor's refusal to accept something so fundamentally unnatural, which is his own creation, the exact tonal opposite of the story of God creating Adam. This would ultimately lead to both the monster's eventual trail of destruction and his own downfall. Here, however, Frederick undoes the mistake of his grandfather and treats his creature not as an experiment, but as something worthy of love and acceptance, which I'm sure that the creature understands, given that his brain is an "Abby Normal" one, and its late occupant was probably shunned by society at large. Not only is it an acknowledgement of his forefather's mistake, it is also the beginning to both his and the creature's road to redemption. Whereas in the original novel, Victor's position is unequivocally that of a flawed god, here Frederick remarks that his creation looks like one itself. It's no mistake that Frederick's line about the greatest scientific contribution since the invention of fire is a direct reference to the novel's subtitle, "The Modern Prometheus". Whereas in the book, Victor went from doing it "for the science" to doing it just to stroke his ego, here Frederick went from doing it because "it could work" to wanting to help his creation. Amazing scene, and amazing acting, both from Gene Wilder and Peter Boyle.
4:02 MY NAME IS... FRANKENSTEIN!!!!!!!!!!!! - Gene Wilder. 1:35 WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU PEOPLE? I WAS JOKING!!!! DON'T YOU KNOW A JOKE WHEN YOU HEAR ONE?! HA HA HA HA!!!! - Gene Wilder.
Este film condensa todo lo mejor de la comedia norteamericana. Con fuerte influencia europea (inglesa ).En cuanto al morbo.Pero la eficacia y perfección en el remate de las escenas es totalmente yanqui. 😂😃😄
