German to EXPRESS not to IMPRESS




German Expressionism 






















At the very first start, German Films will be no match from French, American, Italian and Danish films, for this films are the major sources of film showing in Germany. They can't stand alone to produce movies just like French, American, Italian and Danish films did. Due to the bankruptcy of UFA or UniversumFilm Aktiengesellschafi it is the time for Germany to produce their own films they focus first on war films for this is what is happening in Germany.  Mainstream dramas and comedies are still shown in Germany but they focus on these genres: One was the internationally
popular adventure serial, featuring spy rings, clever detectives, or exotic settings.Another was a brief sex exploitation cycle, which dealt "educationally" with such topics as homosexuality and prostitution.

The Cabinet of Dr. Calligari is the peak and start of Germany in making a name in the field of Films for this film is recognized in Italy and America. They start to call it as German Expressionism for it clearly express emotions and reality in the film, through this many other countries followed the style of German expressionism until now it is still existing but it is no longer called German Expressionism instead Expressionism only. This style is never outdated and outshine for it still practice, applied and use in film-making.
