Dr. Caligari's Cabin, Reivew on The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

I watched "Dr. Caligari's Cabin" this morning, the world's first horror film ~ a masterpiece of expressionist films. The plot uses a layered structure, which should be a work that applied the plot reversal earlier. At the same time, the open ending leaves more room for people to imagine (very careful thinking) and give the audience room for a second reversal. It's really cunning to leave it to the audience to figure out whether it's true or false. Although the horror atmosphere is very weak now, the experimental way of expressionism is still amazing. What I admired in particular was the set, which I thought was really cool that people were living in a space made up of abstract, twisted geometric figures. It evoked a nightmare when I was a child... An American animation, the buildings in it are all twisted and twisted, giving people a strong sense of shock and weirdness, but it is also an imaginative geometric aesthetic in it, it is simply It's like the audience is living in a mental hospital [laugh cry] The sensational melody of a horror movie is not sure if it is expressionist, but the lighting definitely counts. Basically, the lighting in the film is below, and the makeup of the actors is pale and pale, and the sense of disgust is really strong. There are also subtitles (because it is a silent film, there must be subtitle frames in the middle). The graphic design of various diamonds and rectangles is also refreshing and quite creative. In short, this is a film that has a profound impact on world cinema, with a very high status and significance. Although it is a bit clumsy now, it still cannot hide its brilliance.
