This film was technically perfect at the time. Murnau and his production team tried a variety of optical experiments such as distortion, zoom and blur for the first time in the film. More importantly, the camera was used in the film for the first time. "Move up" in the middle, what is the effect of...

FW Murnau's "The Humblest" should be one of the best in silent films. The scene scheduling is quite skilled, whether it is story, photography, editing, performance, etc., they have reached a very high level.

The few silent films basically do not have a subtitle card, and rely solely on...

Narrative movies can use so few text prompts to hold up such a long silent movie. I really admire Mornau’s lens language arrangement...

The sense of professional honor is mostly affected by the environment. At that time, a job was extremely rare, let alone a decent job that everyone envied....

"The Humblest" is my most comfortable movie after watching the four previous works of Mornau ("Castle", "Phantom", "Burning Earth", "Nosferatu"). The reason is that it is finally no longer in the style of drama-it is told in units of scenes. In the middle, I am still looking forward to the card...

I feel that I saw several comments saying that the final turning point was abrupt. Maybe the version I watched did not translate the large German section that the team left in it? I went to find the original text and translation, and it was a note for myself.

The original version of the tubing I...

The film "The Humblest Man", written by the German silent film master Karl Mayur and directed by Friedrich Münau, is in German literature and art after expressionist films in the early 1920s. The emergence of the tendency of "returning to the inner world" and the influence of Max Reinhardt's indoor...

I found it hard to give this film a proper rating. I believe an absolutely great work of art can fully stand the test of time. While in this work, I think it just partially passes the test. The lighting and some of the camera using in this film are outstanding even watching it nowadays, but some of...

European Expressionism, which was born at the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century, was mostly influenced by Kant's philosophy, Pagson's intuitionism and Freudian psychoanalysis. In a simple and rough summary, it can be said that German idealism and...

I watched this movie when I was in school. After watching it, I will remember it for a long time. It is just a uniform, put on and taken off, but the protagonist’s mental state has undergone a subversive change. Something is very subtle. One day after watching this movie, I saw in my life a real...
