This film is a masterpiece of realist indoor drama during the German silent film period. A tragedy of the fate of a small character basically complies with the triune principle of the indoor drama, and the whole plot is also compressed into what happened within a few days. The film transcends the superficially meticulous and superficial realism. In order to reveal the deeper truth of the characters' spiritual world, the director inserts a famous dream scene, which has an expressionist color. The film has become a masterpiece of film history because it is a revolution in film technology. The film rewrites the lens script according to the movement of the camera. The camera is unconventional and becomes an organic part of the plot development, becoming a character in the story. The actor is not arranged in front of the shot, but the camera is allowed to capture the actor's movements by surprise. Due to the movement of the camera, the three-dimensional sense of the picture is greatly enhanced. Using different viewing angles to express specific content is also the style element of this film

It's the first time I watched a silent film, and it's still very impressive to give it a 5. Adapted from Gogol's "The Coat", it is quite a classic about the tragic fate of a small person

The rainy night at the beginning was great. The camera movement of stealing uniforms is really amazing. He put on his uniform, like a proud general; when he took off his uniform, he was curled up in a dying year. Money changes the status of people. Even poor people put the chain of ridicule and contempt on the characters most closely related to them (using pictures to show the gossip of the long-tongued woman). At the end, it was a fantasy, but it was actually a black irony.
