    The impressive fuhuadao may not only create a precedent for a certain type of framework, but also have many interpretations in metaphors and other aspects. Come to worship all the lunatic storytelling, I will do it...

    A masterpiece of expressionism, where the artist is decisive, there are few straight lines in the set. There are actually two lunatics in the film, one is the narrator and the other is the creator of the...

    There has never been a second time when the work of artists and makeup artists has been so prominent. I'm curious as to how the film adds to the camera movement, adding to the confusion or making the set less effective by ruining the composition. There are still traces of the drama on the same side up and down. "Am I crazy or is the world crazy?" This theme is explored to this...

    Such a wonderful thriller appeared in post-war Germany in 1920. Expressionist sets can distort people and environments, and then express a sense of panic and...

    It's so pretty! One of the best German Expressionism! After reading it, a buddy next to me said that it is simply visionary shutter island. How could the film at that time be so powerful and tense! Worthy of being one of the top ten Kurosawa...

    Damn, Germans are the best! People came up with this twist+twist plot in 1920. Shutter island is his imitator, and Tim Burton's makeup is a tribute to the German expressionist school, okay! ! ! It's so arrogant! ! ! Thank you Chao for the...

    In the soundtrack version of the live band of the Archives, the sets of the three expressionist painters are presented more clearly under the 4K restoration, and the expression techniques do not feel outdated even if they are placed now. The perfect closed-loop story, open-ended stories and endings are all presented and its maturity. As for political metaphors like fascism, maybe the director didn't realize it, who...
