The final trial is an eternal question, at least for now. This serial murder case of children is very different, like the ring of problems was designed from the beginning, the underground world and the police world are dealing with the so-called laws of mentally ill criminals and the so-called common sense (or the so-called "common sense that killing should pay for life") ”), also seems to refer to two values—a view of behavior and a method. The details of the murderer's actions in the second half of the crime and the final "justification" deepen this conflict. Anyway, this story is great
In addition, in the early days of sound, everyone's concept of sound was quite interesting. The later dubbing of this film is too obvious, without layers, and there are many technical difficulties. Some scenes have some very important sounds (such as the murderer's hiding breathing), and some scenes have almost no sound (such as cleaning up an underground organization for a paragraph). ). But Lang is determined not to use music, and it seems that he does not use sound as a means of enhancing his "sense of reality". His dialogues often seem to be displaced from the scene, and sometimes he uses a lot of silent film techniques to correspond to the dialogue, just like today's movies also use video images to correspond with the dialogue. These dialogues have a very powerful function in narrative, and sometimes the sound and picture are parallel and very interesting. I will watch a few more early films with sound.
In addition, this M's idea is very interesting~ Indeed, it seems to have some kind of irony, a large group of "beggar gangs" arrest the murderer, and the police are quite incompetent~
It seems hard to say what Lang's intentions are, indeed, the Berlin that the film presents is murky (barely everyday, morbid). And the alternate editing of the criminal organization and the police meeting-especially the highly similar visuals, is meaningful~The "denouncement" of the masses and the criminal members at the end is also very heavy~Roger Albert reminds us to pay attention to these actors The characteristics of his face depend on the historical story of Lang and the German environment at that time.
