Strong subjective impression...I'm a little rookie.

This film~ I feel a pain in my head when I see it... What is conveyed in it... The Marxism I have studied for many years has been impacted... It is too difficult to accept its ending and character setting... The first time there will be a movie that makes me feel so exhausted... Maybe it's also the relationship between the ages...and I am very afraid of religion-related things...I even feel like watching a ghost movie...? I couldn't watch it in one breath for two and a half hours...I watched it in three times...it's really tiring Now...? But after watching it... I was shocked and thought it was amazing... A little rookie will not dare to try this kind of film in the future... Trembling. jpg

    The horror and blindness of the mass power movement; the labor disputes under German expressionism; the contradiction between the old-fashioned backward entrepreneur and the son who is willing to share the suffering of the working class in pursuit of advanced consciousness; dramatic exaggerated expressions And lighting; Maria's waist is really soft, she must be studying ballet. Speaking of which, it is really an allegory of Christ, but under the understanding of Chinese thinking, that is, under the subtle influence of the Marxist philosophy of class struggle, it is believed that the Machine Mary teaches people to resist, and is the side of justice, but in the biblical-Christian theology. In the conceptual field, the machine Mary is the villain, the devil, the existence of the viper in the Garden of Eden, teaching ignorant people to rebel against the authority of God. Two very different systems of thought.

    145 points version. It is not difficult to have unrealistic "fantasies", but turning "fantasies" into reality requires not only courage and wisdom, but also technology. Now it seems a little cliché of justice over evil, the ruling class and the working class shaking hands with each other, and the happy ending of sweet love, especially the main theme. However, this does not affect the black and white silent film as radiant as its poster.
