The Last Laugh--Transitional Films

Der Letzte Mann is one of the most well-known and influential films of the Weimar Republic. This film is very different from the previous ones. , which focused on the story. Der Letzte Mann is an experiment, an attempt to explore the possibilities of film media. When we examine this film, we should concentrate not only on the story, but also on the new technology and the expression.

The last man has a relatively simple, if not slightly tedious, story. The main character is a doorman or...

We owe the ending a five star

Some commented that the film was only given three and a half stars due to the drag from the ending. Try to deduce, what kind of ending can get five stars?
1. The case of stealing the uniform was reported by the bail, and he committed suicide in despair, but the sun rose as usual in the slum.
Wake up, it doesn't fit with the play's witty and satirical style, and it doesn't fit with the form of a silent film, this assumption doesn't hold.
2. The restroom serves the guests...

The world is impermanent

"The Lowliest Man" (1924), a very special film, the director intended to have a tragic ending, but with the intervention of the production company, he forcibly added a benign ending in the last 15 minutes. If the two endings are viewed separately, the story will The overall tone is very different. "Today you are a minister who is respected by everyone, a general, even a prince, but do you know what you will become tomorrow?" The male protagonist was originally a bellboy at the Atlantis Hotel.

lowly person

This is a classic movie, a classic among classics. I have watched every classic movie no less than three times, and every time I watch it, I have a new understanding.
I heard that this movie has a good reputation, so I went to the cinema to see it on the first weekend of its release. This movie is worthy of my movie ticket, it is more exciting.

The story is very touching and highly watchable. When I watched the movie, I completely immersed myself in the storyline

the meanest person

F.W. Murnau still used the usual surrealist techniques to shoot this adaptation of Gogol's novel "The Coat". After an elderly hotel lobby was replaced, his gorgeous uniforms were confiscated to be used as toilets. The gap in identity There are significant psychological and physical changes, the fear of the neighbor's ridicule and the guilt of the family make him completely defeated by reality, and he huddles in the hotel toilet in despair. Although the happy ending of a big reversal was added...

I was fortunate enough to watch the live soundtrack version in the archives, and the shock was unbearable, and I kept trembling and trembling for at least half an hour in the middle. The overwhelmed building at night when the coat is stolen; the distorted crowd and the disturbing close-up; the loneliness and panic under the sharp contrast of light and shadow; the layered layer upon layers of the subjective perspective after being drunk, paved the way for later psychedelic films. I can't imagine...

Silence is Jin Wu's lines, and the camera comes to write the words. Famous novels are integrated into the screen, and a coat tells all the hot and cold things in the...

"How many revolving doors have I had in my life?" The highly cinematic language has no subtitle cards at all, but it is easy to understand and accept. The subjective lens, dizziness, the display of dreams, and the movement of the lens are amazing and unexpectedly good. The unabashed mockery of the hypocrisy of human nature is shown through brilliant performances. I prefer the desolation created by the original ending, but the added part is also pitiful. The archive live soundtrack is...
