    From the movies of the 1930s, there is still a lot of inspiration in the lens and montage narrative. The part where Black and White Dao held a meeting to discuss the case at the same time was very interesting. The actor of "M" himself is very expressive, and he is a professional horror film actor. The setting of the final judgment is also very interesting. Is this a metaphor for the incompetence of the state apparatus and the law? When the law and morality conflict, should we obey human reason...

    Expressionism is that artists focus on expressing their inner emotions through works, while ignoring the imitation of the description of the object form, so it often shows distortion and abstraction of reality. This practice is especially used to express the emotion of fear - cheerful expressionist works are...

    A classic is not about surpassing the current films, but reaching its peak in that era. Just like "Journey to the West", even if it makes better films in the future, it still cannot surpass the old version of "Journey to the West", which is a sign of the times. As far as the film itself is concerned, the quality is also quite good. The 31-year-old film is the director's first sound film. The complex is flat, there is no background music, and it is not annoying. It can even be integrated in some...

    The public trial in a private court, the inner confession of the psychopathic perpetrator. The relationship and contradiction between human rights and morality: whether the psychopathic and irresistible murder should bear the crime, and the moral punishment of the murderer by everyone. Pietro's performance fully demonstrates the charm of expressionism. The first half is a little boring, and the historical status is due to the intentions in the...

    A social satire/catharsis/critique. Some cinematic techniques still carry a sense of experiment even today; the final mock-up court scene is theatrical yet powerful, throwing a timeless enigma of morality to the...

    The waving counterpoint clip The parallel clip of the police and the gangster The rhetorical question and sublimation at the end is just preaching a bit obvious There is a long shot that sucks the glass when it goes through the glass...

    M is the murderer, but who will be responsible for this?

    To deeply understand that M is the murderer, you might as well change the title of the film a little bit to "M is the murderer, but who is responsible for this?" " Watching "M is the Murderer" with anticipation of watching a noir movie like "Double Indemnity", people will inevitably get bored after...

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!
