There are clear subtitles to indicate six scenes, each scene is 12 minutes long, which is exactly the length of a film, and each scene ends with suspense or climax, which shows the strict control of the script. The exaggerated and grotesque sets, the disproportionate seats, and the crooked and graffitied buildings should be the unexpected reversal of the ending plot. The themes of mental hospitals can always allude to social issues, and have their own room for interpretation in the context of...

The first principle of expressionism: the inorganic life of things, a terrifying life that defies the intelligence and boundaries of the organism. Pure kinematics. Nature is alienating spirits and spirits gained from themselves. The tension that unites inorganic life with non-mental life - mental...

Weird lines, wicked makeup, oblique exaggerated and deformed sets, and the nightmarish atmosphere of a mental hospital, like that of Dr. Caligari, have become a crazy page in the history of...

Viewing inventory: I can't believe that such a work existed a hundred years ago, and I can't imagine what kind of scenery Berlin was like back then. We have no idea what kind of mental outlook the Weimar Republic had after the trauma of World War I. Many people say that they can feel it from the movies, but for ordinary audiences like me who are not film schools, they cannot perceive it. Maybe a special history student may have more...

A true masterpiece from a hundred years ago. In the era of modernism, the production of such fine art film works is really on time. The entertainment films at that time were really like cultural relics in the eyes of later generations. From this point of view, the silent films of the 1920s and 1930s are really suitable for screening in various art venues, and they are regarded as a piece of "entertainment". of pure art. Compared with other arts, the change and speed of the young art of film in...
