      Movie Note 006: Player Dr. Mabus

      Narrative: The
      opening chapter lays out the story line of the main character scenes by showing how Mabus spends a day. In the first scene of the opening scene, he took photos of his own identity like a card draw, showing the horse's multi-identity, gambler-like adventurous attitude, and self-game confrontation. The admonishment of drug abuse allows the viewer to understand the possible criminal identity of the character group and the cowardly foreshadowing of the subordinate's character...

      [Actually, it's a fan] I haven't forgotten

      The product of

      Lianwen with a good friend...Because this movie overlaps with Nibelungen's various actors, so I thought of a stalk of past and present... Dr. Mabuse never considered himself a sympathetic person. However, when Georg pushed him into the secret road, he suddenly had a weird impulse, wanting to pull the child and escape from the battered house.
      But only a second after Dr. Mabuse had this idea, the cover of the secret path was covered by Georg, leaving him with a...

      very good

      I really like this type of movie. Since "Dr. Caligari's Cabin", Lang has also created the role of a crazy doctor like Dr. Mabuse, with the psychoanalytic color that prevailed in the early 20th century.

      The light and shadow modeling that black and white films pay special attention to is very prominent in this film. Especially the use of cigars. This film can be said to be the film with the most cigars in the history of the film (the characters in the film can be said that everyone...

      Dr. Mabuse, like a demon!

      In the film, the director Fritz Lang borrowed from Dr. Mabuse and said: "Expressionism is just pastime, but why not? Everything is entertainment now." Yes, artists have always been the most cynical group of people in our world. It doesn't matter if he lives in the early 20th century or the early 21st century. But if this sentence is only for this movie, it is quite correct. The prosecutor Wenk hunted down Dr. Mabuse and finally brought him to justice. The process was ups and downs, thrilling,...

      Fritz Lang's expressionism is a masterpiece, and it's hard to imagine a five-hour silent film that packs a tight plot and a deep meaning. Dr. Mabuse's criminal methods are astonishing even now, instigating crowd riots to kill prisoners while taking advantage of the chaos is really clever, and Oswald probably became a victim after JFK's assassination. The similarity between Dr. Mabuse and Hitler's personalities and the control of the masses' minds makes this film not only an insinuation of...
