The pioneering work of German expressionism, set photography, costumes and make-up performances, the image performance is distorted and exaggerated, but it has great practical...

The first review of abandoned pit 8 years ago: 3 yawns with tears in 20 minutes are not easy, but I really can't watch it because it's too old. This style... 2020 will be the 100th anniversary of the movie's release Every frame of the reboot is the best caricature to use the popular saying of the modern million late stage The art team is that the ceiling is translated into a garden party scene. The depth of field is also great. Now it looks more irony, some reversed many times. The plot is a...

Watching the film is almost like watching a stage play, with actors performing in front of artificially designed backdrops, and editing compressed to very little. Those black-and-white contrasts, distorted images, and the smoky makeup of the characters give the viewer a strong sense of alienation. It could also be a Politburo about German psychology, about how the population is manipulated by the...

The scene resembles a modernist painting. As for the story, it's...

A milestone in expressionist cinema. The style is grotesque, the light and shadow are strange, and the subtitles are novel. Stained film, the soundtrack is reconciled with strong vignetting. The film reflects the fear of authority and the pessimism that it is difficult to control the fate that prevailed in German society at that...

It is only after seeing the analysis of this in Robert Allen's book that I know that this article is so significant. These bizarre sets and shapes are too personal, so let the director keep it for himself. The ending is still very amazing, like the style of Wang Zengqi's novel, but also with the taste of...

It's weird... black and white is perfect for a gothic expression. Stylized set, Edward's...

The gothic flavor reminds me of "Edward Scissorhands", and the reversal setting of the ending reminds me of "Deadly ID" and "Shutter Island"... The story arrangement is good enough, the bizarre back/set like a Picasso painting is bright, and the soundtrack is also excellent, It gives full play to the role of sound effects, which is very suitable for the dark and gloomy picture, and renders the horror atmosphere quite well... The colored restoration version below, but unfortunately the Chinese...

German films of the 1920s. Read the introduction to find the story is good. It's a pity that the effect of the silent film is a little worse. I didn't watch it! I watched it again in 2017 and found that it was a masterpiece. Just a few simple scenes, it actually told a complex story, especially the plot of the neurological hospital at the end. How many movies are imitating it now. Lonely Soul in the Black Building, Confinement Island,...
