Ich habe die Films "Das Kabinet des Dr Caligari" und "Metropolis" gesehen. Ich finde sie sehr toll besonders Metropolis. Beide sind Stummfilms, aber sie hat periodisch untertiteln auf Deutsch. Die erste film ist eine Geschichte über ein verrückt Psychiater. Er heißt Dr. Caligari (we learn later on that he is not originally called this, but instead reads an old, mysterious book about somambulance that gives him sinister ideas. This causes him to go crazy and take on the persona of Dr. Caligari in a sort of Dr. Jekkyl turning into Mr. Hyde scenario). In eine Szene ist der Pschiater befallen und durcheinander. Die worte erscheinen: "Du musst Caligari werden", dann er böse wird. The entire film builds up to this revelation, and previously the film is about the Dr. going around to different towns and terrorizing the populace. He is able to control one of his patients through "somnambulance," which amounts to mind control during sleepwalking. He uses the patient to murder people in the night, and during the day puts on a sort of "curio-booth", showing off his creepy sleepwalking patient. It takes a while for the people to catch on to the fact that he is the one responsible for the murders, but eventually the investigators discover the sinister book in the insane asylum he used to work at and put a stop to his nefarious deeds. The patient is especially creepy and cat-like, and reminds me of the villain in "Nosferatu", also an excellent German silent movie that I watched a while ago. Ich finde Dracula schauriger als der Somnambulist, aber beide sind sehr dunkel und wirksam. It seems to me that gore does not make a movie scary, but rather the unsettling nature of the content and psychological disruption that a plot brings is truly terrifying. If it weren't for the over the top acting style of the silent era, these movies would be quite disturbing (I do appreciate the unique style they present, however, despite their lack of intended effect in the modern era).
(The scene I described is at around 42:20, though this version is fairly poor quality so it's difficult to see the "Du musst Caligari werden" not to mention they switched the writing to English from the original version in several instances, but you get the idea)
Die zweite Film "Metropolis" handelt die Regierung und Gesellschaft in die Zukunft. Die Kinematographie und Musik sind echt toll und die Film ist ein Klassiker. Die Film ist ein bisschen zu lang nach meiner Meinung. Es gibt interessant dass die Nazis diese Film zu zerstören wollten (Die Film ist gegen Faschismus). There were several versions of the film, and most of them were lost. The best version of the film available is missing significant portions. Recently, however, a copy of the film was found in Argentina that contains most of the lost footage, albeit in poor condition and a different size format. I watched the restored version that attempts to reincorporate the new footage with the high quality footage already available. I personally feel that it adds significantly to the overall experience, and explains some seemingly egregious plot holes present in the older version (which I watched a while ago). The special effects are quite amazing given the time it was made, and it is overall worth watching for its importance in the history of film. The ending was quite tacky, unfortunately, but then nothing is ever perfect.
