Met director Fritz Lang's film, the application of montage techniques, long takes and other techniques in the first half is impressive! The whistle renders a terrifying atmosphere, and the plot leads but does not unfold, and the multi-line development creates a suspenseful atmosphere. In the transition period from silent films to sound films, the acting skills of the actors are also superb. Finally, a trial scene of the tyranny of the majority is shown, whose ideological depth transcends time! Regarding judicial trials of mentally ill patients, whether they should be sent to a mental hospital or punished for criminal responsibility is really tricky.
