    The long shots are too classic, and they also played the stunt through the window. Director Lang is the younger brother of Xizhige who picked the machine. Yinxi has taken the bottom shot of the tenant. There are also serial killers and lynchings by the masses, but those are innocent people. That's guilty Is it possible to lynch people if they are not? In the place where the Nazis are rising, where there are many fanatical sheep, Mr. Lang decided to respond like this.... Mr. Xi should admit...

    A black irony drama, Fritz Lang, the master of expressionism, brilliantly shows the confrontation between justice and morality in this film. Whether it's the dramatic tension or the final group trial, it's like the director's clear stand. The proposition of human rights is not the backside of human conscience, it is a more extensive deconstruction. The characters' exaggerated expressions and wonderful interpretations make the screen image intriguing. The best actor Peter Lowe and the best...

    When the police arrived and temporarily delayed M's life, the gang raised their hands, feeling dazed for a while, the justice of the "rabble crowd" was instantly killed by the justice of the so-called law. Think about the frenetic Germany at the time and the twists and turns of the film. I seem to see the projection of reality, but this is a group of M, a group of M who seem to be holding the law and justice. The black and white are reversed, and it is actually being staged...

    4.5 How pure and clean the movies of the past are. The greatness of this distinctive expressionist-style film is not only the marvel of the audio-visual techniques achieved in the early days of the sound film, but also the coexistence of sympathy and empathy for human relations and society, the retort of complex human nature, and the exquisite structure. The trial was pretty awesome. Looking at it today, it is still a masterpiece that blows most of the...

    It can be said that it is a work when the sound film era and the silent film era alternated. The performance of the leading actor Peter Lolly is even more...

    B+/ Most of the scatter perspective of the script without the protagonist, the ending trial is like the desire to blacken the life; the ultra-low elevation angle and depression angle, the long and empty mirror like a soul, the game of shadow and light; the psychological fear of sound effects is like a vacuum. There are new attempts in both texts and images, showing that after the silent film era of the Nibelungen Metropolis, Fritz Lang, who seemed immature but more vigorous, was born. Never...

    The opening scene uses shadows to pave the horrifying atmosphere and the tense atmosphere of everyone's own danger, and the parallel capture process of light and dark forms a high-contrast contrast, creating a lot of cute spots; empty streets, M's scared expression, and the use of whistle , Can be called a classic; the psychological description of the serial killer and the teasing of the legal system are all...

    8 On the importance of the social activities of the people at the bottom of the society, the people’s court represented by the people’s court and the court represented by the justice, sentiment and reason, who is the real justice. Such avant-garde works of social themes were shot in the 1930s, and now all kinds of works have been exploded. The theater line, the commercial assembly line, the shoddy end, the justice of the people’s court and the aroused masses, or the prophecy and portrayal of...

    Except for dialogue and whistles, there are basically no other sounds, not to mention the exciting soundtrack, but as a 1931 sound film, that's enough. What is interesting is the public's distrust of the police (government authority) (the prostitute slobbers at the police), the setting of the underworld to capture the murderer, and the comparison between the final private court and the real court trial. This is a bold irony. The whistle was...
