the man could do no wrong and it seem . he could make a two hour film from a story that could have be tell in fifteen minute and full of dead end and boring and irrelevant fluff to make up the time and dull action scene and shameless pretentiousness and and yet still the public lavish him with unconditional love . i love metropolis and but metropolis be everything this film wasn not represent a coherent story with ball that know what it be try to say . i could go on for a good while yet and mention for example the influence from other film that verge on plagiarism ( the madness scene in the asylum look a though it be lift straight out of the 1930 dracula ) and or what indeed that whole scene have to do with anything and but what would be the point . i would only get lynch by an angry mob of acolyte from the cult of fritz lang . don not waste 7000 precious second of your life watch this film a i do . you would not get them back . if you want some good german expressionism and that entertaining as well a intelligent and treat yourself and watch metropolis and the golem or faust instead .
