1. It is a great initiative of this film to express the mentality of the mentally ill through the scenery. This implies that the formal system of the film can be used to express the psychology of the characters. 2. The setting of the scenery actually has the function of scene scheduling. The lines in the foreground lead the line of sight to the characters in the middle and background background, which expands the depth of the...

#史记# Coincides with the 100th anniversary of the film’s release. This is the representative of German expressionism and the pinnacle of expressionist works in the world’s film history. German expressionist art comes from painting. Please remember the artist & painter of this film: Hermann Varm, Walter Lehmann, Walter Luelich. At the same time, he also needs to think about his social intentions on the basis of aesthetics. After World War I, German society expressed social deformities with...

As expected of a masterpiece in the 1920s, I was attracted by just one shot, and browsed it at double speed at station B. Tim Potter, Harry Potter, "Singing at Midnight" in Chinese movies are considered homologous. The subtitle design is in line with the genre. Art and lighting are the lifeblood of horror films. Switching between the two scenes, there is movement when flipping through the diary. Use lines to achieve in-depth scheduling. Organ music honey juice 8-bit game. The protagonist's legs...

I saw it on Amazon at first, FULL SOUND 48min, then after about 24min, I couldn't stand the dubbing at all, and the soundtrack didn't feel right, and then I suddenly thought that this kind of film BFIplayer should have the original version (ie, it has not been touched by theAmericans) ), so I did a search and sure enough, I found that the original version had 77 minutes (so Amazon’s US version also deleted a lot of clips), and then found that the version also remade the soundtrack, which is...

The world's earliest psychotic horror film, the suspenseful plot is unmatched by many of today's horror films, and the Shutter Island has the shadow of this. It alludes to the violent factors hidden in the minds of some German social people at that time, as well as some groups trying to deceive the people. Sure enough, three years later, the beer hall incident broke out, and ten years later, Germany began to expand abroad. In fact, every horror movie has a profound...

"The slanted and irregular picture lines, the distorted space, the gloomy lighting with high contrast, and the stylized shapes and physical performances of the characters in the play, this film is not only a representative classic of German Expressionism in the 1920s, but also through the first-person perspective. The subjective narrative of the film, let the camera enter the heart and see the fantasy and madness of the soul.” It is a film that has a great influence on future...

(Marked this in 2013 but completely amnesia...) This groundbreaking story is a level that will be copied X times after 100 years. It seems better to think about it in combination with the post-war mental state of the Germans. Expressionism is still serving the narrative; the soundtrack is too clever; the ancient movies did not waste a single frame, each frame is a beautiful composition, which is worthy of being called art. All in all, it's a palace. (Caesar I...
