I read it with the book "The Witch", a Danish half-documentary and half-plot Gothic silent film: the image of the devil, the hell, the white witch and the black witch, the scene of the witch and devil meeting (imagination!), how the accusation chain reaction, the water test method Acupuncture, the punishment method of the Inquisition, the madness in the monastery, the hysteria of modern medicine; the material is well arranged, and the director himself plays Satan; re-examines the Antichrist,...

A very special semi-documentary about witches. It tells the evolution of witchcraft from some pictures, and then presents the shape that witches are crowned with in the form of performance in chapters. People with buttocks do have hysteria, which is a mental illness. Superstition still exists, and unfortunate people are still...

The fantasy part of the picture is quite textured, like an illustration in an ancient book. The theme is different from what I thought. I thought it was pure curiosity, but it turned out to be a popular science, reflecting on the dark history of the medieval church rule in...

God-level pseudo-documentary, the soundtrack is even more awesome. I watched a later revised version, with William Burroughs' voice for the silent...

In ancient China, detesting witchcraft was a crime, and it was the iniquity of the ten evils. The Northern Qi Dynasty established the ten...

The genres of the films are a bit mixed, from the popular science documentary in the front, the fantasy film in the middle, to the departure of the staff with the nature of investigation and experience, and the modern urban film at the end, but fortunately, the structure of chapters makes these parts Perfectly fused together to form a video essay, from revealing the world at that time, attacking the persecution of Christianity, the problems solved by development, to the imaginary world of...

In terms of genre, it should be counted as a documentary-style film that recreates scenes like Twenty-Four Cities. Full of atmosphere created by medieval religious witchcraft legends. Face up to the history of women's persecution, let people look at witchcraft scientifically, and get rid of the concept of...

Forbidden gift
In fact, this item is a science and education film of "debating superstition", but the film shows the mysterious culture of the Middle Ages, all kinds of rare illustrations, and the way of thinking close to modern times, the analysis of the spirit and the appreciation of it. To explain the devil...

Witch textbook
The black-and-white silent film of 1922 told an interesting topic, and it seems that there are still not many such subjects. Although the description of witches is terrible, this old movie looks more like a light comedy from current eyes, with many fantasy scenes such as the old witch who cooks...

Title Card: Poor little hysterical witch! In the middle ages you were in conflict with the church. Now it is with the law.

Title Card: Centuries have passed and the Almighty of medieval times no longer sits in his tenth sphere.
Title Card: We no longer sit in church staring terrified at the frescoes of the devils.
Title Card: The witch no longer flies away on her broom over the rooftops.
Title Card: But isn't superstition still rampant among us?
Title Card: Is there an obvious difference between the sorceress and her customer then and now?
Title Card: We no longer burn our old and poor. But do they not often suffer bitterly?
Title Card: And the little woman, whom we call hysterical, alone and unhappy, isn't she still a riddle for us?
Title Card: Nowadays we detain the unhappy in a mental institution or - if she is wealthy - in a modern clinic.
Title Card: And then we will console ourselves with the notion that the mildly temperate shower of the clinic has replaced the barbaric methods of medieval times.
