Review: No 1 . The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari (1919) Starring Conrad Veidt . Based on the region one DVD by Kino International....
When "The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari" Slips in conversations . People often yap on like "Oh. It's a masterpiece" and "The art Design is Fantastic".Well all of that is true but what people often forget is that it certainally was not made that way . It was made to shock them (well at the time it was pretty freaky) . It was designed to upset them with wierd images and swirling landscapes (Tim Burton ripped this film off - Fact.) . It all upset them very deeply .The film starts with an old man saying that the night is filled with spirits . What has he been smoking ?. A younger guy is sat beside him . A young guy who takes in everthing he says . What has he been smoking . The young guys "Wife to be" . Walks past looking half stoned . The words what has she been smoking come to mind.So the guy does what all husbands would do if there saw there wifes stoned . He tells an old man about his past . Told you this wouldnt make sence.
