The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

Unexpectedly, I like

expressionist paintings, which are filled with

exaggerated distortions, strong, thick, and irregular contrasts

. It is especially worth mentioning that the soundtrack

is irregular, and the notes produced by various instruments are performed with mournful sensitivity

to create a gloomy and tense mood. The ambience

and the twisting irregularities are perfectly matched, and the

horror culminates in the final scene:

Dr. Caligari sinisterly says: He thinks I am that mystic Caligari - and now i also know how to cure him

creepy...: now i know how to cure you....

    A Kafkaesque nightmare. The labyrinth itself is nothing but a great trap, and trying to find the exit is nothing but a fearless struggle to sink deeper and deeper into it, for the sleepwalker of the night never tells us the meaning of death, and whenever he wakes up in our name , but repeating over and over the fate of death we already knew, and we were thrown into that eternal shame, because we never understood that the culprit was the puppet that never woke up.

    The pioneering work of German expressionism, the pioneer of horror film. All scenes are painted and set up by studio shooting. The film uses exaggerated and weird patterns and light and shadow, distorted perspective, angular and skewed house doors and windows, Gothic subtitles, forced close-ups of covered lenses, and films of different colors. The dark and terrible atmosphere is rendered, and the psychoanalytic psychology and emotions are externalized. ps: Krakauer said that the film is a prediction of Nazism. (9.0/10)
