This is a film so well known and so well analyzed throughout the decades, wherefore there is no need for an introduction.
It's still a very charming film, although 'the monster' is not as terrifying as one experienced him as a child.
What can man achieve and create and what should man try to achieve and create?
What moral and societal responsibility do the scientist have?
Still we ask these questions - at least those of us being interested in the profound existential questions of life. Still do the scientists go on with their scientifical work without bethinking the long term consequences.
Thereby we can establish that scientists have not changed since 'Frankensteins' era.
Another aspect of this film is of course why we find it so hard to accept humans who are different, even if this is a 'modified' human.
Director: James Whale and as 'the monster', Boris Karloff of course.
