    Expressionist mise-en-scène is unrivaled in the history of cinema, namely the set, lighting, costumes and performances. From this came the existence of many visually-defining nouns, which have been inherited and used repeatedly in films for a hundred years. It is also interesting to see the...

    The repaired full version I saw, split the scene, the middle, and the last three paragraphs, 146min belongs to the longer silent film, the epic film format, the sci-fi scene is at least 30 years ahead, and the idea is at least 100 years ahead. Although the abridged pieces added after the restoration have black and white lines, they do not detract from the infinite brilliance of the work. It can be called a classic among classics. If I can give ten stars, I will definitely give twelve stars, "expressionism", "futurism" , "Doctrinalism", "Mysticism", "Seven Deadly Sins", "Dystopia", "Anti-Industrialization", Apocalypse. . . A masterpiece that combines various elements without feeling awkward at all. It has an inestimable influence on later art, especially science fiction works. Fritz Lang's pinnacle work, the image of a female robot inspired "2001 A Space Odyssey" and "The Matrix" and other works, and some of the last paragraphs have the meaning of paying tribute to "Notre Dame de Paris" and "Joan of Arc". In short, after reading it, it is too shocking, comparable to reading a book of "Das Kapital" or Orwell's Complete Works, an unforgettable one. Movie viewing experience. #archive photo#

    The sci-fi world smells of dystopia, and tearing down the machine is not liberating yourself. Brigitte Helm has played the role of one true and one evil to the fullest. Imagination, lens language, political and religious metaphors are all near perfect.
