The author argued for success for movies of this nature because even today most movies follow trends of murder showing what was actually been showed in the ancient times. The films showed fear, horror and events that are more naturally to be true.

 M; it was directed by Fritz Lang, it was released in 1931. It entails the investigation of the killing of a young child that brought a lot of chaos to the people of the country.

The two films I chose are,

The first Movie is, “Who saw her Die”

This movie shows of killings where children were being kidnapped and forced to follow the killer. This scene is similar to that which we saw in M where child killing was rampant in the society that left the people in fear and terror.

The second “The nightmare on Elms street”

The night mare on Elms street, it was directed by Wes Cravens and was released in 1984.It was a success. This movie has a lot of sexual motives with the actors. But in both movies that are M and The nightmare on Elms street, they have scenes that show or depict murder actions and the need to find the real cause.

 

Essay

Kracauer's central thesis, of films produced in the pre-Nazi period up to 1933 disclose a desire for an authoritarian leader is most evident looking at the movie industries of today. Looking at the three films we watched that is, “The blue angel”, M and   The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.

In the blue angel which has a depiction of an authoritarian leader, we could see how Professor Rath was captured by the love of Lola that made him stress up his life. He lived been jealous of the men she was having affairs with. His life was destroyed because of his illicit affair with her. This shows how law in morals they were.

 In the movie “M”, we saw how children were been killed, how they investigated to find the culprit to all the killings. It helps to bring to light criminals and killers who lived among people and still have such people in our mist. We could see terror and pain in the people for what was happening in their country.

In Dr. Caligari’s, where we had a lot of insane people who were doing things that were not right, We saw when Alan ask of his fortune and was told he will die at dawn. Truly he dies at at dawn and this brought about a lot of suspicion in the minds of the people.

All this movies help to portray the reality in our societies and how thing were going wrong and was very hard for people to have control over that. He is right in his ideas of the German economy and how all this movies say something about them.
