Demonic Possession and Metaphors of Religious Fanaticism: The Effect of Successfully Enhancing Deformed Monsterness - The Fragile and Unstable State of Weimar Society in "The Will of Dr. Mabuse"

A never-ending realm of crime, destructive willpower leading to doom, a depraved mixture of hypnosis and telepathy... Fritz Lang is known for his unexpectedly entertaining, expressionist crime thriller Mabuse The Doctor's Will (1933) struck me. A man skilled in disguise and hypnotism, Dr. Mabuse directs a gang to carry out various criminal activities in Berlin, including murder, robbery, forgery, fraud, and more. His madness and deformity reminds me of a similar character in...

Can the dead control the world?!

This is the second in a trilogy of films, "Dr. Mabus". Unlike the first "Gambler Dr. Mabus", in this movie, Mabus appears more as a "dead man", but after he dies, he can still use his willpower (Manipulate the German intellectual class (through the Dr. Baum in the movie) and the German underworld, and then control the entire German society). Yes, combined with the German historical situation at that time, Dr. Mabus reminds us of Hitler naturally, but I don't think so. He is more like a...

Watching Notes of Dr. Mabus' Will

Dead and committing crime is a bit like a jigsaw, possessed by Baum to infect ideology. Police officers: Karl Roman, Walter Janssen (none of the following). Photography: Herman Buzzi, William Rosen. Defense attorney: Otto Ake, Erich Gunther. Valkyrie. Mahler: looks like Hesse's assistant with glasses. Roman: looks like Churchill's fat cop. Huffmaster: looks like Orwell's scare Psychopath. Huff lay in the blowhole for four days, tore the thread between genius and madness. Whistleblower?...

A Brief Commentary on "The Will of Dr. Mabus"

The Will of Dr. Mabus (1933) directed by Fritz Lang is a very classic noir film. Although many current film historians believe that the beginning of film noir was John Huston's "The Maltese Falcon" in 1941, it was the first film noir in the Hollywood genre. However, in terms of image style, film noir was born out of German Expressionism, and as a master of expressionism, Fritz Lang's works, especially after Post-Painting Expressionism (after 1924), have Obviously the style of later film noir,...

I feel like I'm watching a ghost movie

Here Dr. Mabus is a dead man. But his soul appeared to Baum many times. It feels like being attached. The man who ran out of the box at the beginning was inexplicably mentally ill. When I'm alone, I fantasize about calling Officer Roman. When someone approaches, they sing. At last the Baum saw the mentally ill man, and the man recovered. And Baum seems to have become a Mabus personality. Also, the explosion in the secret room of a man and a woman sounds pretty violent. If time is not...

Mabus, who is not only a simple villain but a devil incarnation, is the key to the success of the series and a great creation of the times. After 11 years, he continued the stylized images of expressionism, and Lang, who did not repeat the old tune, used mental manipulation instead of psychedelic hypnosis. The inheritance of ideas under the invisible body is creepy and meaningful. The insinuation of the rise of Nazism also makes this work a profound political...
