Roasting you based on your favorite of these German Expressionist films

(this post is a joke; don't take it too seriously lol)

Metropolis: You've got spicy political opinions and daddy issues. You were doing great in life until you found out how corrupt capitalism is sometime in high school or college, and it's absolutely mind-boggling to you that nobody else is batting an eyelid at all the injustices of the world because they're too busy defending the concept of a 40-hour work week. You're constantly checking your privilege and everyone else's, too. Or you just want to bang a robot. That's probably it.

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari: Okay, I could make a joke about you being emo, or you liking the most basic film on the list, but that's not really the issue here. Your Hot Topic fashion sense and shitty drugstore eyeliner are nowhere near as concerning as the fact that you have no idea who the hell you are without them. You constantly overthink everything and are great at solving everyone's problems but your own, and you're averaging like 4 hours of sleep on a good night. You can't get your intrusive thoughts to leave you alone and if you relate to literally any character in this film, you need to get help. It's okay; I promise your therapist doesn't secretly hate you.

M: You're a surprisingly sweet and empathetic person for someone whose favorite film on this list is about a child murderer. You care deeply about others and are very much in tune with yourself, but unfortunately, everything you say is so off-putting that most people don't get that vibe about you. If they actually gave you a chance, they'd find that you have a great personality, but they don't, so instead you're stuck at home stalking your ex's vacation photos on social media.

Dr. Mabuse the Gambler: You like the finer things in life. You're high-maintenance, your tastes are classy and expensive, and you actually know how wine tasting works. However, you're way too into conspiracy theories and pyramid schemes for your own good, and your cultured proclivities are deeply undercut by the fact that you probably got into Bitcoin when that was a thing. Your two career paths are either "businessperson" or "cult leader," and it's concerningly difficult to discern which one you're on.

Nosferatu: Your sense of humor relies entirely on recycling memes that are at least a decade old, and the fact that you communicate nearly entirely in pop culture references is your attempt at disguising the fact that you're really bad at socializing. You think you have lots of great ideas that make perfect sense, but most people don't know what the hell you're going on about. However, you've got one or two ride or die friends who love you for who you are, cringe and all. Keep being you, Nosferatu fan. Never change.

The Student of Prague: I'm not sure this one is actually anyone's favorite film, but if this was yours, you were into shipping the Onceler with himself when that was a thing. You're super competitive, but you have a tendency to overwork yourself and burn out quickly, so now you're living off of Top Ramen and protein bars. People love to tell you that you "have potential" and "just need to apply yourself," but what they don't get is that you're stressed 24/7 and won't give yourself a break because you're trying so hard to satisfy your own impossible standards. Please take a nap.

Der Golem: You're great with children, small animals, and potted plants, but that's because literally anyone else you have to deal with fucking pisses you off. The absolute audacity of everyone around you means you're never not two seconds away from throwing hands, but honestly? You're always right and you should say it. You're actually a really nice person, but people keep pushing you to your limit and you're sick of it. On an unrelated note, you probably work in customer service.

Different from the Others: If this is your favorite film and you're a member of the LGBT community, that's perfectly understandable. It was a monumental achievement in LGBT cinema in the early 20th century and, despite being somewhat dated by today's standards due to the time period it was created in, largely holds up as an educational, yet tragic, piece of cinema. That being said, if you're a straight/cis/allo person and this is your favorite film, what is going on with you. I want to study you in a lab. How did you find this film. Come to think of it, how did you even get into German Expressionist cinema to begin with. I just want to know

Der Januskopf: [REDACTED]

Genuine: You're a "Caligari" fan who doesn't want to seem basic like the rest of the "Caligari" fans, so somehow you ended up here. You don't actually like this film aside from the visuals. Nobody actually likes this film. You want so, so badly to like this film, so you lie to yourself, just like you do about everything else.

Refusing to get over my friend telling me I didn't like Oppenheimer because I "don't like long movies." I watch lots of long movies. Dr Mabuse der Spieler is one of my favorite films, honestly, and that's around 4 hours. I'm actively watching a 5 hour long silent film about Napoleon right now. I love long movies. I didn't like Oppenheimer because it sucked.

When you watched Part I of Dr. Mabuse, the Gambler, did you notice that Metropolis composer Gottfried Huppertz had a bit part in the film as the hotel manager of the Excelsior? I thought it was pretty awesome to see him make an appearance in a movie. Huppertz was also close friends with Rudolf Klein-Rogge, who introduced him to Fritz Lang in the early 1920s.

I had no idea, that’s so cool :O Gonna have to rewatch that bit to spot him now!

Also I watched Part II right after and I’m obsessedddd with Alfred Abel as Count Told… poor scrunkly little guy (and he got cast in Metropolis as another rich man who loses his wife 😭)

A lot of people make the connection between German Expressionism (a favorite movement in cinema for me) and Batman through an indirect route, the visual style of Tim Burton. I will concede that Burton's films are some of the most overt nods to Expressionism you'll find in this franchise, but I honestly sincerely think the roots go deeper.

A lot of people know (or at least will frequently suggest) that Joker's design was originally inspired by Conrad Veidt's character in Paul Leni's The Man Who Laughs (1928)

It's not hard to see why. But I really think it goes deeper than this. I remember there was more to this, but the big thing that I can recall at the time of writing is this...

Dr. Mabuse, der Spieler (1922) is a notable film by director Fritz Lang, but more importantly... you can't look at the main character, Mabuse himself, and tell me that wasn't a visual inspiration for the Penguin! Mabuse is even a crime lord who uses convoluted schemes! He would fit right in with Batman's rogues!

I'm telling you, I've got the corkboard out, I wholeheartedly believe that there was some influence from expressionist cinema in those golden age comics.
