Plenty of films could be used as an example of German Expressionism, but none could be used so well and so perfectly. Sure, it's aged some, but it really hasn't aged much, and I don't think it ever will.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-34070309875289746352014-12-03T15:39:07.722-06:002014-12-03T15:39:07.722-06:00Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is amazing!

It's amazing to me how many barely watchable films were being churned out in 1919 and 1920 and 1921, yet something as amazing as The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, that's still so powerful and so easy to watch, also popped up in cinemas.<br /><br />I heard that it was so popular in Paris when it opened that one theater featured it for the next seven years!<br /><br />Conrad Veidt - who played Cesare - played Major Strasser in Casablanca. And his role in The Man Who Laughs is reported to be partly responsible for the visual look of the Joker, the arch-villain of Batman.
