an old movie

Probably the oldest movie I've ever seen. M is the Murderer was filmed in 1931. At that time, my father's grandfather was just a grown-up boy. This was also the first sound film by German director Lang.
Unfortunately, due to technical limitations of the film, I couldn't enjoy it. I remember how excited and obsessed I was when I watched the 83 version of The Legend of the Condor Heroes. Now that I have watched a lot of blockbusters and asked me to appreciate the 83 Condor Heroes, I can only recall the feeling of watching this film before.

    Germans in the 1920s looked so sad. The murderer looks like a political brother.

    Fighting on two fronts, black and white, this M murderer has a lot of face. M's guilt performance was heavily marked by history, exaggerated and unpretentious fresh from the silent film era. Let's just say, Martian brother's past life should be the male protagonist of this film

    Inspector Groeber: Really. Who?

    Franz, the burglar: The child murderer, Herr Kommissar!
