the mechanics look at film

Thursday, December 14, 2006


The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari was my first silent film. Before I watched this movie I was not a fan of silent films. I have been brought up in a society that demands sound and dialogue in modern movies. What I got from this movie was unlike any other movie I have ever seen. The monster, known as Nosferatu, that Dr. Caligari created was not my idea of a vampire. I think that the picture of a vampire in my mind has been created by modern day society. Dr. Caligari had an evil mind, just like modern day serial killers. One of the most corrupt things a person can do is create something for the soul purpose of evil. I regret to inform you that after watching this movie I am still not very fond of silent films.
