It is not only the advanced light and shadow design that makes the composition and image unique, but also the application of superimposed painting technology. Time, emotion, memory, dream, illusion, science fiction, Murnau used this technology to make a detailed interpretation of the above. Especially when Mephisto's huge figure appeared in the sky above the town, the sense of oppression presented by the devil in the 3/4 of the composition was instantly attacked by the superimposed painting....

1. "The devil, in order to frame us and cause us harm, often deliberately tells the truth to us, earns our confidence in small matters, and then leads us into a trap in the most important moments." - Shakespeare, "Macbeth" 2. The most frightening thing is old age, not death. This reminds me of "The Picture of Dorian Gray" I watched recently. 3. How indifferent God is - he just watches and doesn't do anything; the devil is evil, but at times he is extraordinarily "kind and lovely". 4. Although...

Faust's Love Chapter, a lot of avant-garde special effects, Mephistopheles is too...

A good movie does not need sound and color at all. This film is an excellent example. Although it is a work from more than 90 years ago, it is far ahead of the present in terms of setting, costume, and atmosphere. The whole film is filled with a pale and gloomy atmosphere, with an opera-like expression, but the ending is bright. In the end, it is not greed but love that wins this bet. This is exactly the "freedom, equality, and fraternity" that people have been pursuing since the...

8.5, the blockbuster style of that era, the use of superimposed painting is the most impressive among the silent films I have seen, and it can be seen that a lot of film special effects are used. Jonnings' performance was mediocre, but the actress Horn was impressive. epic among...

Good to evil to good. In the dark and bright light and shadow of expressionism, there is the most severe face of "evil". The devil tempts the whole life, and also warns the world, and cannot forget its exaggerated and terrifying image. Sorrow and sadness "love" to resolve, desire and female image no longer lead to sin, but salvation. Be amazed by Murnau's more kaleidoscopic shots than Mephistopheles, master! Times have no limits in his...

(9.0) 1926 Murnau Edition. The level of special effects is only a small aspect that affects the expressiveness of the film. I don't think it's very inappropriate for Murnau to interpret Faust by intercepting this fragment of...

As an adaptation of Faust (the key point is that it was taken exactly a hundred years ago) it is absolutely very, very historic. Various shooting methods, multiple exposures of lights, and now it seems a bit cliché, but again, it was definitely made by God a hundred years...

Remarkably, the technique and plot show a mature cinematic art. But it's not really a horror movie. PS: Watching a silent film always feels like reading a...
