Perhaps when you can convince movie makers that a being can get THAT articulate by learning language by overhearing a conversation and then discovering a happy treasure of philosophical tomes just when he needed to hone his newly learned art. Perhaps even THEY find it a difficult swallow

But but but...have you seen Hammer's Frankenstein must be destroyed? That film contains IMO one of the more articulate representations of the creature on celluloid (in a terrific performance by Freddie Jones)...although he is not created the classic way.
