Talking about Mabuse...
Has anyone of you seen the actual Black & White
series
of movies about dr. Mabuse?
Very cool.
Dr. Mabuse, a vilin, died at some point. But this
didn't
prevent him from still being the mastermind behind
all
kinds of criminal activity. He managed to occupy a
body
from a different person and -live on- so to speak.
At the
end when the police managed to oprahand the
criminals,
dr. Mabuse would leave it's host and search for
another
victem.
The style of these series, or the way it was filmed
was all
by the book. In fact.. I have a couple of these old
books that
explain how one should ceate suspens and use
different
lighting and camera angels for criminals and the
good guys.
A style of filming that is so unique, and which
I've never seen
after that... at least like the Mabuse
films.
You might have seen these tricks... where the
eyes are
highlighted with extra light, with the surrounding
being
covered in near dark. Or just the silhouet of a
person
and the mouth being visible.
