This is the second in a trilogy of films, "Dr. Mabus". Unlike the first "Gambler Dr. Mabus", in this movie, Mabus appears more as a "dead man", but after he dies, he can still use his willpower (Manipulate the German intellectual class (through the Dr. Baum in the movie) and the German underworld, and then control the entire German society). Yes, combined with the German historical situation at that time, Dr. Mabus reminds us of Hitler naturally, but I don't think so. He is more like a strongman and a superman that the people yearn for in the chaotic German society. , a character in their fantasy. (They don't even care that he might be a "badass"). As Dr. Baum said in the movie: "Dr. Mabus knows that the best way to save the world is to destroy and destroy! The legacy in his mind will change the world!" Let's do it again Hear what Fritz Lang himself had to say: "Some people think that in this film I envisioned Hitler coming to power in Germany, which is wrong, I just envisioned a Nietzschean superman in Germany. , of course, a relatively lame Superman. (It seems that Fritz Lang also disliked Nietzsche [laughs])
Finally, I want to talk about two important elements in this film that are easily overlooked, religion and love." Mabu Lili, the girlfriend of Thomas, a renegade from Dr. Thomas, is the face of both elements in the movie. No matter how many bad things Thomas tells Lili he has done, she keeps saying to him, tenderly, "I love you"! It was also she who helped Thomas get rid of the evil "Dr. Mabus crime group", imagine, can there be such a perfect woman in this world?
So, she should be the symbol of the angel in the movie.
