I thought it was a suspense film earlier, but after reading it, I thought it was a mutated police and bandit film with a bit of black humor, and finally found this a political film. . . . . .
From the perspective of film technology, such a film was made in 31 years, which makes the audience quite desperate now, and it is still these things after watching it for so many years. When the camera switched to the police and the thief discussing how to capture M, there was an absurd and weird feeling, so dark. Several still images are also very noticeable.
It's amazing that the director has such an idea about the use of sound at such an early stage. 1 Beginning with the nursery rhyme recited by children, the voice has already revealed the next plot.
2 After that, the handwriting expert's inference about the murderer, the voice and the expert's picture are separated, and the murderer's picture echoes the inference in the voice. This method of asynchrony between sound and picture turned out to have appeared so early = =
3 The murderer was finally found because his whistle revealed his identity
4 The film uses sound in many places to connect the two scenes
In the early days of sound films, the director did something like this Exploration and such results are indeed
the scene of Niu X's final trial, which is considered to be the sublimation scene of the whole play, about democracy, law and so on. But I secretly thought that such an interpretation could be made, that is, to regard children as a materialized symbol of society, and M is a force that endangers society, then the whole film presents a very macroscopic scene, the power struggle between the official and the public, human nature and Legal wrestling, etc. In the last shot, the woman's grief persuading everyone to be optimistic about their children seems to make sense.
In short, very good X

    In the era when the sound film was just born, Fritz Lang was worthy of being a master in delivering such a classic work that perfectly integrated sound effects and photography skills. The deepest impression is the scene of the parallel meeting between the police and the criminals, and the final classic private trial, Pietro's deafening performance.

    The legendary German expressionist masterpiece. This kind of film is placed in the current celestial dynasty and defeats those blockbuster films. The final debate entered into the speculation of human rights, systems, and laws, and their concept was entirely based on the perspective of human nature, which is a reflection of human rights. The suspenseful solution in the first half, the private courts of the grassroots society in the back, the classic whistle of the murderer, and the exaggerated expressions and limbs. classic! 8.4
