    Too advanced! Many lens effects editing are very peculiar, and they are rarely used nowadays. I was surprised to see the scene of picking up silk scarves. The hero is like Xiao Li. . The heroine's eyes and eyebrows are too much like my bunk = =

    Very awesome, Fritz Lang is definitely a genius. The current version is 1 hour and 58 minutes long and lacks a quarter of the original copy. It’s hard to imagine that it’s a 1927 work. The shots are awesome, the editing is awesome, the scenery is awesome, and it’s still very cult! It’s awesome and requires careful analysis.
