    What I see in common is most of the Expressionist films:
    1- Exaggerated colors and absurd tonality
    2- Use of Shadows
    3- Gothic feel
    4- Realistic and overly emotional characters
    I think Tim Burton's Batman and Coppola's Dracula are 2 very popular Expressionist films.

    I like to make horror films in German expressionism style. Then my thriller films in film noir type style.

      I don't see how one can compare German expressionism and French New Wave. You're just trying to be a snob. Well done.

    Mild comments cannot work here, since the narrator and the video are relating a powerful art genre, that so changed film, acting, film scripts, German Expressionism had to develop out of the period that still enrages some, but the very base of the genre of painting/illustration draws so many subjects into discussion. Max Beckman???

    I had no idea that this form of filming had migrated from Europe and has had such an influence on American films, foreign film techniques like how some films had sad endings unlike the American films which more times than not would always have happy endings, even if that meant changing the source material completely.

    • @SierraSierraFoxtrot
      @SierraSierraFoxtrot 5 років тому

      You should watch Fritz Lang's American movies:
      "The Big Heat" and "Fury".
      Also Hitchcock's "Spellbound".

    Kafka is Czech though. Otherwise, thanks so much, really educational

    • @Nerdlabor
      @Nerdlabor 2 роки тому +6

      Kafka was part of the German minority in Prague. One cannot approach the many minorities and populations in the former Austria-Hungary with today's standards of nationality. Kafka certainly considered himself multi-identitarian. However, he wrote his works in German.

    “Because of the war, they created this style” - doesn’t make any sense

  • @collecting2131
    @collecting2131 3 роки тому

    The prime example for German expressionism today, for me, is the 2002 horror film "FeardotCom". It's generally disliked by people but those visuals can't be denied....
