The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari Video Assignment
Francis Reaction of Alan's Death
Scene
At 16th minute of the movie, Francis was informed by a lady that is acquainted to him and his friend Alan that Alan( his friend) has been murdered.
My Interpretation
During the time the movie was first aired when war was in the air, Expressionist through movie scenes such as these showed how the community was feeling when innocent loved ones are killed due decisions big authoritative leaders puts their peaceful societies in.
When Francis was informed with such hurtful news, his reactions and inner emotions as he cries and looks crushed were how the citizens felt at that time. It is even worse when a loved one you were just with yesterday is dead just as you wake up in the morning.
Relating to the Class
This movie relates to the class as it is a pure form of ways how expressionist voices out the inner feelings towards the war at that time. I must say the stylization of shadow-like background with a circular envelope around the individual may express other characters behind such as the darker environment or surrounding we are in on this earth. The deeper down it is in a society, there is a true shadow that in-turn describes how realistic the person is.
