Saying "M is the Murderer" is great because it is the first movie about a serial perverted killer in movie history, and Fritz Lang's first sound film. The first sound film in the world was born in 1927. "M" produced in 1931 was already very good at using sound effects, especially when the murderer hummed Grieg’s "Pilgent" to booby girls, "Peel" "Gent" is the soundtrack written by Grieg for Ibsen's poem of the same name. It talks about a character who is sickly addicted to fantasy and eventually becomes a victim.
This must have been a milestone at the time. However, as time passes, "first" will slowly become a symbol, an exam question, a quoted phrase, from a very meaningful to a meaningful corpse, before the last 5 minutes arrive, you seem to be in Looking at a souvenir that was touched, imitated and taken many times by latecomers, until the last 5 minutes, the 5 minutes that amazed me, declared that it will always stand in the forest of great works, and will never fade.
"Original Intention" is a very clever kid. I often find that our understanding is not the same as the original intention of the artist. I don't know whether they are deliberately teasing us, or we have fulfilled them. The works are packaged with infinite meaning. Interview Free Regarding the creative idea of "M", Ci Lang said: "The essence of this movie is not to punish criminals, but to warn mothers: You have to take good care of your children!" Will this statement surprise critics? ? I also can’t figure out such creative intentions, but according to the general commentary, the film "The practice of the underworld’s strict organization and the establishment of private courts is a direct reference to the Nazis before the usurpation of power in 1931. Looking at it today, it still has Quite shocking warning significance" I also think it is too serious.
Murderer M appeared to be mentally abnormal and committed crimes continuously, killing eight or nine girls. The police carried out a carpet search and found nothing. During this period, the gang boss’ entertainment venue was repeatedly investigated, and business was sluggish. It started in the last 5 minutes. The underworld organized a mock court, with judges, presiding judges, and hearing audiences all available, and a defense attorney was assigned to M, and both parties began to argue:
M said: He can’t control his own behavior, as long as he sees it Little girl, his heart was driven by the devil, leading him to commit unforgivable sins, at that time, he forgot everything. There are two of him fighting, one saying "you have to do" and the other saying "you can't", and they are always tortured; and the underworld who wants to judge him are ordinary people with normal minds, who can control their own behavior, but also The act of murder and arson endangers society. Who should be sanctioned?
The defense lawyer who thought it was a display was very serious and persistent. He tried his best to defend M: "Because my defendant committed a crime under an irresistible impulse, he shouldn’t be sentenced to death... No one can bear it. Punishment for things...no one can kill a person who is not responsible for his actions. This country can’t, and you certainly can’t... You should send him to a hospital, not a prison or a gallows."
The presiding judge (the gang leader) said: After being discharged from the hospital, he started to kill again? He should be sentenced to death...
At this moment, the audience who were sitting around boiled and attacked M, wanting to execute him immediately.
At this moment, the police arrived and "rescued" M. The film ended at this climax. A mother stayed and watched the camera. "This way we can't save our children. We should take care of our children." (I don't know myself well. Which version are you looking at? It is said that the restored version lengthened the court scene. Was it a trial conducted by a real judge?)
Suddenly, a problem was thrown in front of the audience. The meaning of "M" emerged.
Pinyin text is easy to make a point. For example, the inspection of diamonds will say that 4C standards (Carat, Clarity, Colour, Cut) are used, and management services must pursue 5S (safety, standardization...). The title of the film is called V, M, and Z. Both can be seen as having meaning.
The murderer’s name has nothing to do with M. The reason why he says "M is the murderer" is that someone is in a hurry and fears that the murderer will follow him. Taking advantage of the marks painted on the back of the murderer’s clothes, in that scene, M is the murderer, but it has arrived. (Mock) In court, he is a mentally ill person and is protected by law. He will receive treatment instead of execution. The public cannot face the law's non-cooperation with their moral values. At this time, M is moral, and the law is only for me. He was respected only when he was used and made for me. Otherwise, let the morals come to his death. This will reflect fairness and justice. The scene is swept away, and the triad, the families of the victims and the general public have been blurred.
At this time, looking at the director’s rather strange creative intention, "We should take care of our children" (this line is also the word that appears when the movie is released), and it will feel that the society is out of control and irretrievable (not being careful) Take care and allow society to go to extreme dangers), awkwardness between individual will and collective interests (individual madness threatens group life, group madness torture individual life), legal incompetence and moral terror (law can only achieve justice to the maximum extent, morality can be used Murder)'s helpless irony.
It is said that "M is the Murderer" is the original title. The producer learned that Hitler might win the election, and worried that the film would be banned, and changed it to "M". It can be seen that this M was originally not simple; The film must be closely related to the eternal and intractable proposition of mankind, watching the movie while watching yourself.
