I loved the Expressionist touches, especially the staircase design to look like a shell and the overbearing walls. I agree with you also the the "birth" seemed too easy - although perhaps it appears that way to our eyes, jaded down through the decades. And also the Golem's "death" being too easy - it reminded me of Lost In Space and how ridiculously easy some of their cliffhangers would resolve. Perhaps is would have been better if we saw the inert Golem crumble away to nothing, but then Wegener needed to have the Golem's body to survive - seeing how this film was a prequel to the original Der Golem. Or perhaps special effects weren't as advanced in those days to pull off that shot. Regardless, a brilliant example of German Expressionist film.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
