    The first time I saw this classic silent film was at the Broadway Film Center, accompanied by the live soundtrack of Dawanggang. One is an early avant-garde image of Western folklore, and the other is a modern musical interpretation based on oriental sensibilities, forming an audio-visual experience that traverses the boundaries of time, space and senses. It's a pity to miss the outdoor scene, which will be the collision and fusion between movies, music and steven holl's...

    Black and white movies are a stalk in my heart, and movies with extreme black and white light and shadow are the stalks in the stalk... Now I'm extremely depressed...................... ......just want to sleep and have...

    Eternal love. The surreal scene made by the model is so atmospheric, I like the feeling. A huge demon has come to the world, and God has given human beings "love" to fight against the demon. The woman is beautiful, the devil is wretched. Makeup...

    All things in heaven and on earth are wonderful! But the greatest miracle of all is man's freedom to choose between good and evil! The word that rings joyfully throughout creation, the word that alleviates every pain and sorrow, the word that absolves all the guilt of humanity, the eternal word. Dost thou not know...

    Just the plot: love is just one word, a universal and profound truth of human beings. But as far as movies are concerned, in 1926, its special effects, sound and light, costumes, montages, scheduling... have already reached the pinnacle. Compared with modern digital special effects, this is the real imaginative presentation of...

    The second Murnau is the best silent film I've ever seen. Needless to say, the use of light, shadow and music has always been Murnau's strong point. He is also very clever in the extraction and adaptation of the text. He did not attempt to fully reproduce the diverse and profound textual connotations of Faust, but made a bold adaptation. He quickly focused on the portrayal of the love between Faust and Clayton. In the end, Mephistopheles' plan lost to "a word that reverberates all over the...

    2019.12.9 read it. Based on the well-known German folklore, the version I learned before said that Faust chose to make a deal with the devil in order to break the curse of "life and know without end", and fanatical seekers such as me can even feel the same. This version has become a missionary film. The ending is the same as that of many directors of that era, who regarded love as the antidote to all things. Now it seems romantic and sincere, but also naive and ignorant. The female protagonist's

    The most classic version of Faust, the stunts and scenes of the movie 100 years ago can be convincing to this point, and the plot is a little dragged. If the heroine was really played by Lillian Gish, I would definitely give it full...

    Finally got the full picture of Faust's story The gist of this story is about being seduced and being awakened by love but if it's called love is it a little hypocritical; also the devil Mephistopheles is really...

    8.5/10 Angels and Demons bet on a bet at the end, when the word Liebe floated on the screen for hundreds of minutes of suspense, there was a completely unexpected relief I had seen too many movies and TV of similar subjects. From beginning to end, the center of art is always love is fraternity It is love, not love, poets/painters/musicians, the eternal source of inspiration, Reymann music and picture are one I can only take a back seat as a foil for silent movies. There is a thief like Bei...
