Kafka is a famous master of Expressionism in the 20th century . This film uses him as the hero, but it is not a serious biopic, but a rather unique political thriller based on a bizarre encounter in his youth. At the time, Kafka was a small clerk in an insurance company. Although he had received acclaim for his book "Transformation", he was still withdrawn and introverted and did not interact with colleagues. One day, the only colleague who had close contact with him died unexpectedly. His fiancée couldn't accept the police's claim that it was suicide, so she asked Kafka to help find out the truth. Since both of them are anarchist revolutionaries, the group asks Kafka to join the group and help write the leaflet. Kafka refuses and gets caught in the center of the maelstrom, where he discovers the horrific truth.

"I cannot deny that I am part of the world". Inside the castle is color, outside the castle is black and white, black and white is real life, the castle is an illusion. People are not controlled by power, they are controlled by their own consciousness. Seeing it as a suspense movie, it's kind of a comedy to me, it tells the absurdity of reality, and a lot of the plot is funny. Several follow-ups were close at hand, but the male protagonist was very calm and escaped smoothly. Here, you can feel that he has been wandering, quietly observing, and secret heartache.

It uses a lot of expressions of the silent film era, not only the style of Kafka, but also the sense of the era of the early 20th century. It is almost the same as reading "The Castle", a magical film.

Doctor Murnau: A crowd is easier to control than an individual. A crowd has a common purpose. The purpose of the individual is always in question.
Franz Kafka: That's what you're trying to eliminate, isn't it? Everything that makes one human being different from another. But you'll *never*, *never* reach a man's soul through a lens.
Doctor Murnau: That rather depends on which end of the microscope you're on, doesn't it?
