It did seem to me that Pabst's camera celebrates Lulu's feistiness up until then, and it felt incongruent, that turn at the end, so there probably is more to see to it than I noticed on one go through.Jason Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18254334131909339157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-61282676203000454242010-09-16T08:55:37.351-04:002010-09-16T08:55:37.351-04:00JA -- see i didn't see it that way.

I just love that her impulses can't easily be pinned down to sexual or maternal or good-time-seeking. There are so many facets to her personality.<br /><br />ferdi -- i think so. I wish more people would see this. I love Metropolis but it really does seem to be the only silent that ever gets any play or heavy viewership and there are several other expertedly rendered silents that are just as cool or surprisingly modern.NATHANIEL Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597109147678235399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-89310074526330488622010-09-16T03:52:03.257-04:002010-09-16T03:52:03.257-04:00Masterpiece.

I love how maternal Lulu is to Alwa in it and we never see this warm quality of hers in the movie.<br />It's as if she embodies EVERY female archetype ever, from Madonna-whore to femme fatale to tragic heroine (because she is a heroine in a very Flaubert-ian way).Notas Sobre Creación Cultural e Imaginarios Socialeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01423835555933819338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-15572279618100512642010-09-16T00:49:23.715-04:002010-09-16T00:49:23.715-04:00Well, I, er, sorta did mine. :)
