Answer 1

Answer:

Not a movie, but the Frankenstein musical did a pretty good job of  recreating the novel. I watched the movie years ago, but I barely remember it. All I know is that they cut out Henry Clerval and made Victor old. In the novel, Victor is in his early twenties, and so many of the movie remakes make him a stereotypical "mad scientist". That's why I like the musical better than I do the movies. He's played by Hunter Foster, and even if Foster is in his 50's, he still looks and sounds young. His voice perfectly fits Victor, in a sort of "prestigious scientist who needs to take a nap" way. Very specific, but it makes sense. Then there's Henry, who doesn't get a huge part, but he's not that important in the novel either. He's actually there, though, and that's what makes the musical so good! Plus, they stayed true to the novel and made the creature learn English. In so many other adaptations, they make the creature this eight foot tall man who can't speak, while in the novel he has a great dialect and talks better than most people I know. In the musical, they stay true to this and cast someone who has a deep, baritone voice to play him. The casting choices are amazing, the way they stayed with the novel is great, and even as a standalone show the music is wonderful.
