    Lang's first film has sound, although it seems that the sound level is very low today, the scenes without lines are basically silent, the sound effects and ambient sounds are very few, especially the large section of the police raid is so quiet that there is no footsteps, it seems that people are deaf. But there are many parts of using voice to narrate, which can be said to be the super-efficient use of voice, from whistle (Grieg's "In the Hall of Mountain King", trolls chasing children, even the literature is in line with the plot) as the voice of the murderer committing crimes Motivation, blind people keenly capture sound information as the key to the plot, to officials explaining picture information across multiple shots in a single phone call, to actors' performances revealing different emotions and power relations in the scene through volume and timbre, and conveying more through lines than silent movies. With a lot of information, the gesture of stepping into a sound film is really a great stride of genius. Although most of the fixed shots and most of the moving shots are for display, the composition and lighting are really good. In addition, this modernist office building made me curious, Berlin was really a pioneer of modernity back then.

    German film master Fritz Lang created an amazing audio-visual language in his first sound film. The most famous shadow before the poster is just the simplest, the sound and picture are separated, the whistle, the actors perform with big eyes, and the secrets of the underworld The execution and other dramatic and cinematic sense reached the strongest of that era.
