    The 4.5 set is really nice, and a close-up of Caesar waking up in the dark. Last night I dreamed that I watched "The Hand of Orak", and when I saw the last scene of "Caligari", I was surprised that what I dreamed last night was actually Dr. Caligari named The Hand of Orak cabin. Like every nightmare I've ever...

    The art set and the actors' performances are basically different. The artistic style that I want to present does not really flow into the body of the image, the camera. In the end, it depends on the script. The sudden sock turnaround in chapters 4 and 5 provides this limited film. The drama's nearly limitless analytical material gives room for all rough...

    "Do you all think I'm a lunatic! You are wrong, the dean is a lunatic!" The early German silent films are too interesting, a landmark masterpiece of expressionism. After reading it, it is not more horror and anxiety, but reflections and pessimism in countless suspense. Emotions run through, the set props are very particular, and the subtitles are done very...

    The masterpiece of expressionism, NB setting, NB lighting, the play is also very good, especially the dispelling of the text in Act VI. There are two versions of the soundtrack which are quite interesting. Now it seems that the only thing that cannot be tolerated is the "slowness as beauty" in the performance. This is due to the tradition of stage plays, and there is no problem with exaggerated performances. In addition, the continuity of the lens is not very good, and it is often not connected...

    (1920-1924) The first and best masterpiece of expressionism. Sure enough, Europe is a place with an aesthetic heritage, and the three artists are all famous artists from Cyclonus. The screenwriter is a well-known writer Karl Mayyo, who created two diametrically opposed German aesthetic schools in the 1920s. I heard that I wanted Fritz Lang to be a director but I was rejected. Maybe, if Lang was really a personality, he wouldn't be such a genius,...

    The real directors of this film are three expressionist painters, namely the set designer Hermann Valm, Walter Rorich and Walter Lehman. At that time, the expressionist movement was prevalent, and it was mainly reflected in painting. Herman Varm declared that "film should be a living picture". This sentence is the aesthetic foundation of this...

    The film first opened a German expressionist film, which is also the origin of world expressionism. It incorporates expressionism into the film. After the strong Gothic style influences many films, the most typical representative is Tim Burton. The film is a pioneer in art, distorted and irregular buildings and formal and symbolic graffiti are a perfect fusion of expressionism. Many details of the film are worthy of repeated...

    Avant-garde film movement. Cyclonus Club. Expressionism requires breaking through the appearance of things, showing the inner essence of things, breaking through the description of temporary phenomena and displaying eternal qualities and truths. Influenced by Kant's philosophy, Bergson's intuitionism and Freud's psychoanalysis, it emphasizes the use of special methods to reflect the real world. Subjective idealism, self-expression; emphasis on forms and techniques; not seeking similarity,...

    Although the script model bears the imprint of the times, the connotation is already very advanced; the images are not too groundbreaking, but the painting sets of the expressionist masters are...
