M background creation

2021-11-12 08:01
The title of the film "M" refers to the fact that when the blind man selling balloons spotted the killer, a gangster wrote an "M"in his palm with chalk , and then pretended to talk to the killer. His hand patted his back and printed "M" on his coat. The original name of the film was "M-Eine Stadt sucht einen Mörder", but it was changed to "M" because the producer was afraid that the Nazis came to the stage and banned the film because of the title. The practice of rigorous underworld organizations and private courts in the film refers to the Nazis before the usurpation of power in 1931.
There was no final judgment scene in the initial version, and the scene was added in the later full version.

    A tribute to the 30's films. The front and back are well laid out. I didn't expect that there was an alarm system 80 years ago. Just not a suspense movie. The power of the beggar gang seems to be very strong no matter what country it is in. The words of the gang leader are really funny, really a dedicated and loyal organization

    This film has the typical characteristics of the film after the silent film era. The characters in it have been talking non-stop, the lines are a bit unnatural, and the processing of the background sound is also in the original stage, which often affects the development of the film's plot. The first innovation of this film is the use of the multi-clue mode. The torture and killing of the little girl only leads to the clues of the story, and then the three-line structure of the police, the underground triad and the perverted murderer spreads out. The director shows a strong ability to control the plot, the three clues are switched with each other, and the parallel development is like flowing clouds and water, without being abrupt. As for the investigation process of the two groups of people, they have followed the steps in detail. Compared with the subsequent thriller and suspense methods, they are simple and almost white-painted, but the director still handles them extremely brilliantly. The theme of the final trial scene is sublimated, returning to the discussion of human sin. Uncontrollable mental illness and crime for profit, grief over the loss of a child and hatred of bad people.

M quotes

  • Prostitute: Let me go, you dirty bastard! Let me go, you son of a bitch! Goddamn bastard! Put me down! Let me go!

  • Bartender: You're ruining my business, Sarge. These raids every night. No one can get a moment's peace! They're human beings, too.

    Police Sargeant: You think we stay up all night just for the hell of it?

    Bartender: No. But you're drivin' away my clientele and you won't find the guy you're lookin' for here anyway! If you know how angry they are at the guy who's causing these raids every night. Especially the hookers. Sure, they solicit. Business is business. But believe me, in every one of them beats a mother's heart! I know a lot of tough guys who get all teary eyed just seein' the little ones at play. If they ever get their hands on that monster, they'll make toothpicks out of him!
