The earliest science fiction novel

Mary Shelley's classic masterpiece "Frankenstein", as the world's first science fiction novel, after nearly two hundred years of vicissitudes, the world has changed, still because of its deep thinking, scientific development foresight, superb discussion of the development of science and technology and the conflict between human morality, ethics and beliefs, still exudes eternal charm. The fear that the loss of control of scientific development will eventually destroy human beings themselves, which deeply affects future science fiction works, and this worry has become the motif that a large number of science fiction works are keen to explore.

In the treatment of the scientist Dr. Frankenstein, he was always positioned as a delusional Frankenstein. It was not until the 1990s that Kenneth Branagh launched the century-old "Mary Shelley's Frankenstein", which really gave Mary Shelley's creative intentions a profound exposition, and combined with the new thinking of human beings in the nineties, there was a deeper understanding and expression of the conflict between science and technology and morality, the transformation of good and evil, and the contradictions and struggles in human nature. Through an ancient science fiction story, it recreates the embarrassment and fear of human beings facing where civilization is headed in the twenty-first century. The novel begins with a snowstorm raging in the Arctic Ocean, where a general scientific research vessel, under the command of the determined explorer Captain Russia, stubbornly advances toward the North Pole, and the crew is startled by a huge monster and its earth-shattering roar, at which point the crew rescues an exhausted victim. The plot of the film unfolds in the self-description of the rescued person: the rescued person claims to be Dr. Frankenstein, a man who has been destroyed by the fanaticism and delusions of science, spent his childhood in the bright sun, and has been full of curiosity since childhood. The good life was interrupted by the death of Foss's mother in childbirth. Freuds is determined to master the key to science and unravel the mysteries of life. So he went to Gore University alone for further studies. In spite of his mentor's warnings, Freud broke into the temple of the supremacy of science, mastered the secrets of making life, and under the fanatical delusions and creative desires of science, Freudenberg compared himself to God and created the first "man" - a monster with a tall and powerful body and a strange ugly face. Fowl felt the terrible consequences of his impulsive actions at the time of the monster's birth, and after mistakenly believing that the monster died of the plague, Foss's conscience was at peace. However, after being repeatedly brutally rejected and abused by humans, the monster has been filled with evil revenge and eventually kills relatives around Freudenberg, including his newly married wife Elizabeth. In order to revive his beloved wife, Freud revived the manufacturing machine he invented, but the reborn Elizabeth became an ugly monster. When Elizabeth learned of the cruelty of being reborn, she resolutely lit a fire and burned her and Freud's manor. As we stand at the intersection of the doorway of the twenty-first century and the rapid progress of science and technology, there is once again uneasiness and turmoil in our hearts. Since the roar of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima, the rapid development of high technology has no longer only brought happiness to mankind. Humanity has to begin to reflect on the conveniences and threats behind scientific progress and re-examine the relationship between science and humanity. Today's advances in the life sciences have brought humanity close to the brink of creating life. Should human beings create life, ethical taboos and shackles, we suddenly find that it is as thin as a piece of paper, will Dr. Frankenstein's nightmare repeat itself in reality? We shuddered. The novel's success is the reorientation of the monsters that Freud made. Standing in front of the audience is no longer a physically strong, inherently evil dangerous ugly thing, but a real inner being

The earliest science fiction novel

In the "people". "He" is emotionally fragile, in need of sympathy and love, and eager for communication and understanding. But all men, including the "father" who created "him," spurn him only because of his ugliness, and instead of giving him even the slightest concern, they avoid him, they want to destroy him, and drive "him" out of the dead mountains and forests, in the desolate snow. The sad look in Robert De Niro's eyes makes us chew on the pain of extreme disappointment that lies behind the monster's evil. We watched sympathetically as "he" slid step by step toward evil. The dialogue between the monster and the scientist in the film is so wonderful, "I am so evil, not that I am born this way." I have sought love from human beings, given love, because I love virtue, my heart is full of happiness and love, and I am eager to share this beautiful emotion with others. But it is always spurned. I had hoped that someone would forgive me for my appearance and love me for my good character, and it turned out that I was wrong. I give friendship, and the people who help me in turn want to kill me, but why don't you humans curse him? Only I, a poor deformed child, am damned, and should be discriminated against, driven away, and trampled! Since human beings have created my suffering, I can only deal with evil with evil and ask them to share my share. . . . " Here, the good and evil of human nature are analyzed vividly by the director, and until the end of the film, we still have great sympathy for the monster played by Robert De Niro. When the monsters were buried for Frankenstein, one by one, we felt a great deal of sorrow in our hearts.
