Watched the movie "M" last night with a buddy (My360inLife) and I have to say that it was actually pretty good. I think the movie was made some time in the 1931 and was later used as a Nazi propaganda film. It was in black and white and, and I believe, was the first film to depict a murderer. The movie follows 3 main characters. One being the murderer himself who preys on children, another being the police officers, and the last being the underworld criminals who are being affected by both the cops and the murderer's activities. I would highly suggest checking it out.Nothing much interesting going on today.
Got to sleep in and I have my World History course tonight.
M is Fritz Lang's greatest work (and 1st sound film)...I think only second to Metropolis, which is another I highly recommend! I'm not sure about the propoganda stuff...but the killer is losely based upon an actual killer during the 20's...I believe they called him the Vampire of Dusseldorf. The images tho in M are incredible and disturbing...and Peter Lorre is awesome, whom I love in Mad Love and Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much...(the 1st film not his remake with James Stewart,) and of course The Raven with Vincent Price, all of which I also highly recommend you watch, Joe!
