I never thought that someone like me, who is demanding on the texture and color of the picture, could feel that such an old black and white silent film is so wonderful, but the ending is really shocking. After watching it, I went to the Film Museum to watch the film exhibition held at the same time. Looking at the rudimentary equipment and original paintings, I felt that the filmmakers were really great. PS: Is it necessary for the male protagonist to talk to that follower every time he wants...

The prophecy of the industrial age: God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How can this movie be cheap? The background is all hand-drawing period. Architectural renderings How many drafters are tired and blind. The director's scheduling of the group play and the actress's madness made me...

The first time I saw a silent film other than Chaplin, the 1927 sci-fi had far-reaching significance, and the special effects were all...

When I saw the scene of the future city, I recalled the domestic films made in China in 1927 (the year when the Great Revolution failed). After comparing, I understood what it means to be ahead, and felt the difference between greatness and...

145 minute version. One of the first of all kinds: Steam Future / Ex Machina / Frankenstein / Apocalypse / Utopia. Silver Wing Attack in the Shell can probably be traced back to here. The number of layers interpreted is also a testament to its power. In addition to ideology and religion, there are quite intentional or unintentional reflections on the status of race and gender in the society at that time. The naked contempt for the people, also known as the rabble, is obvious. Mechanical Maria...

Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the 20th century, there was already such an unparalleled imagination... A sinister perspective helped people 100 years later to foresee the contradiction between man and machine, and the contradiction between people's classes. Under the interpretation of desire with religious elements, people use desire to realize desire, and then use desire to devour the id dystopian future society. "Ghost in the Shell", "Blade Runner", "Beijing Folding" can all see their past...

Dungeon - Platonov "Foundation Pit"? Strictly speaking, the post-World War I movies did not completely replace the themes of the pre-World War I movies, but due to the introduction of German Expressionism, those modernist elements were treated gloomily and mysteriously, and films that showed "dehumanizing consequences" Themes replace the fascination with modernity, as in Fritz Lang's Metropolis (1926). Architect Le Corbusier's "Shining City" shows the "efficiency", "simple" and "order" of...

The ultimate masterpiece! Restoration of 90 years of cultural heritage! When Freud was still alive, he miraculously integrated Marxist social conflicts, totem origins, religious myths, and even scientific and technological reflections into one critically and symbolically. The expressive power of art is even better than the expression of literature, and there are many genius strokes - the expression techniques in the same vein as drama and opera, the visual ending of Notre Dame de Paris, the...

It's hard to judge a movie, the symbol is too gorgeous. Father and son, origin of the name Maria and HEL, duality and femininity of Maria, cannibalism by machines, witch trials, and more. The reason why the ending was criticized is probably that many people regard this film as a class struggle, but it is not, the director seems to express only the division of labor. The relationship between silent films, the expressiveness of the camera lens is quite terrible, the impact on the SF world is...
