    The film involves national justice and mental illness, mental illness and guilt, human nature and law. In the end, the people of different roles laughed at the defense lawyers and criminals' defenses three times in a row, which is exactly the naked ridicule and irony of human nature on the judicial system. M is a code name and a murderer, but who is M? Is M just alone? There are many reasons for a person's death, but because there is an executor, he is defined as "a...

    A great film during the transition from German expressionist film to American film noir, and as far as my current experience is concerned, it is better than all German expressionist films and 80% (the other 20% I haven’t watched) American film noirs, of which The gap is...

    Every time I watch a German movie, I can't help but think about political metaphors. Germany is really a great country. The first film in film history that talked about serial killings was much more brilliant than the later ones. The underworld trial of the prisoner is the best part of the movie. "Should you be handed over to the police and sent to prison so that the country can support you for the rest of your life?" Ironic...

    The legendary German expressionist masterpiece. This kind of film is placed in the current celestial dynasty and defeats those blockbuster films. The final debate entered into the speculation of human rights, systems, and laws, and their concept was entirely based on the perspective of human nature, which is a reflection of human rights. The suspenseful solution in the first half, the private courts of the grassroots society in the back, the classic whistle of the murderer, and the exaggerated...

    BJIFF2014, subtitle translation scum, knocking is also scum, it is estimated that it is the HD version. Teacher M’s excuse was a bit funny, but his fearful, horrified and ashamed performance was really hateful and laughable. After reading it, I couldn't help blowing a whistle with my friend in the parking...

    Are innocent murderers forgiven?

    The nursery rhyme at the beginning of the film has a terrifying atmosphere, and after that, there are a few jokes, which are similar to the old gentlemen eating cigarette holders and telling jokes. Ultimately, culminating in the confessions of M's murderers and the indictments of the madmen, the...

    Aloof "Balloon Brother" - Analysis of the Stills of "Killer M"

    This still is about 15 minutes after the film, but after 15 minutes of watching it, I think this is not a movie at all but more like watching a play, because "M"'s performance is really too tense, and the camera is too far away. He's so close, it feels like he's one of those onlookers, and he's...
