ASSIGNMENT ON FILM “M” 1931
I
chose the scene where the government authority located the kangaroo court organized
by congregation of criminals to trial the accused murderer. The murderer was turned
in to the legal authority, the government. The scene further showed some women crying
for their dead children, the victims of the serial murder.
This scene shows how the judicial system was one sided, because
the victim’s family were left to bear their sorrow, pains, and grief without
any compensation by the government. Havoc has been done to their family and nothing
can fill the loss and heart-ache they suffered.
This is important because
it reflected terror, chaos, confusion, unemployment, trauma of war, hopelessness,
frustration and recession that the society was thrown into after the World War
I and II. The man marked with “M” mark seems to represent Hitler or waves of
terror swiping the whole world. Also, the crash of wall street that was the main
financial back bone (Lender) of Germany plunge the society into deep economic
and psychological torture and developed into terror, fear, horror, thought of
suicide, tragedy and the movement of
Nihilism. A society where there was no
job, no food and no basic amenities of live but carcasses of dead people
scattered all over, ruin, and German current has no value. Definitely negative
thoughts will be very rampant as trauma (PTS). Even
nowadays it happens to soldiers and other veterans of wars.
