    Don't talk to him, he can see the future, he can make you die. The judgment of German foresight is also very good. There are also pictures and music that can be called...

    Walter Sokel said that expressionism was "subjective, dreamy, visual, rather than objective-centered, intellectual, and experimental in language." So expressionism was closer to surrealism. The grotesque artificial sets, with almost no straight lines, and sloped perspectives that violate the proportions, all create an irrational nightmare scene. And the reversal of the plot in the last scene is even more of a narrative success. i like this...

    The first edition of Shutter Island! A story of a schizophrenic patient. The dialogue subtitles are very unique, the camera switching is very special, and the close-up is also, the characters around the characters are directly black, I don't know how to make them, and every frame is overexposed outside the area?

    【8.7】The pioneering work of expressionism? I don't know, but it's great. The set is also the director's unique personal style, a mosaic of geometric shapes that twist and meander. The story is not backward, and there are not even many later works imitating and learning. With great music, it was really a great viewing experience at the time. Especially the reversal at the end of the final credits is really a plus. As the saying goes, mentally retarded children have a lot of...
