Film M.

                                                        Two movies related to M.
     What is nihilistic? Pauvrety, Newtown Gun Shooting, economic crisis, sexual lust, war,one country being a superpower.  Mental insanity resolting to undesirable behaviors is a common theme in the following movies "M" , the Cabinet of  Dr. Caligary, Lucio Fulci’s  Don't torture a Duckling, Aldo Lado’s Who saw her Die? in most case a cause of suchnihilistic behavior is caused by economic crisis, sexual drive, religious moral. human at all ages tends to act nihilitis behavior at all the time. however, a true confesion of ones needs to a community can decrease the occurence of insane behaviors. Always someone need or want is restrained by an opposite person that bring the feeling of nihilistis the person life.
    The way in which murder is depicted in this film  " M" is different from Caligari. Cesare is compelled to kill because he has no will of his own. Rath is also shown as someone who is consumed by lust, but in this film. Fulci’s film is the better – and better-known – of the two, in its story of an enterprising reporter’s attempts to identify the culprit of a chlid murder . In the spirit of M, Duckling also cast a critical eye on society by focusing on the witch-hunt mentality that arises among the villagers in their search for the killer. The violence – particularly in a graphic scene depicting the “chaining” death of an innocent local witch – is quite gory, but Fulci nevertheless restrained from showing the graphic details of the child murders. Lado’s less-successful Who Saw Her Die? focuses on the search for a killer of two redheaded young girls, seemingly by a female culprit whose face remains hidden behind a black veil up until the final reveal. Likewise, it shows a good amount of restraint in dramatizing the child murders, indicative of the public’s squeamishness regarding the subject matter. It’s also notable for featuring a creepy score by Ennio Morricone. 
    All of the films deal with the theme of mental insanity to some extent as well. The stark treatment of themes like murder and insanity in the films relate to another argument of Kracauer, who argued that specifically German films produced in this period of time are more brutal and unflinching than films produced in other countries, precisely because of the aftermath of the war, internal revolution, horrible economic circumstances, etc. To use a more modern term, the Germans are essentially desensitized to violence and so are able to consume cultural products such as this despite the repeated use of such nihilistic themes. However, Kracauer interprets this as providing a more realistic depiction of social reality and thus of greater artistic value to the critic.

The Blue Angel

                                                             THE BLUE ANGEL
                                                                 RALPH LOLA

                                   When Love Is Stronger Than Pain ,We still Belief in Love
                                       When there is no trust in love we fail from that pain.
                   Whoever fail from  lover's pain in life your story is alive, therefore you are alive.

    Ralph a reputed school instructor but single became obsessed by Lola.Without carefully studying Lola 's deep life who was a public entertainer  having many lovers. Their romance ended with huge deception when the two characters lifestyle was not congruent. Resulting in Ralph's career and life destruction.

    let recall from the scene, when Ralph visited Lola's cabaret the costume that he wore and  the mustache above the lips symbolized a high status personality in the society. Mentioned  that he employed a house maid too. He was respected by his students, the staffs of the cabaret also the police officials, subsequently Ralph had power. Lola's love enlightened his life unfortunately, the community members including  Lola, Students school 'official, were not collaborating to Ralph happiness culminated to Ralph destruction.

    The turning of the early 20th century, male superiority over the female was dominant in many aspect of the government especially in Germany. For instance, classroom was composed primary by Ralph and the male students. No single female student was among them. The same discrimination is seeing with the police official, all composed of male. Frankfurt school members like Marx' and Engels' analysis that the enslavement of women was the first building block of an economic system based on private property. They contend that elimination of the capitalist profit-driven economy will remove the motivation for sexism, racism, homophobia, and other forms of oppression.

No Time (Keine Zeit)
There may still be those who live unhurried lives
and don’t care about the hectic pace of these times.
Those who are not yet wildly obsessed
as they devour food from vending machines and make themselves sick.
However, in these frantic times, you meet few of these unhurried people.
Nowadays you stand at the vending machine,
with the token in your trembling paws.
You insert the coin, the tray revolves, and you take some bread.
Then you eat the roll at a frantic pace,
because hundreds of others are right behind you.
You chew and you chew without peace and rest
because there is a voice telling you:
"Insert token, take out bread,
for the food might soon be sold out."
One eats without finesse.
CHORUS:

No time, no time, no time.
Yes, we have no time.
Sorry, but we're always on the go,
with tongues hanging out as we run.
We have no spare time.
No time, no time, no time,
no hours nor even a second to spare.
We hardly sleep, we don’t rest.
No time, no time, no time.

Nowadays, a person doesn't have a second to spare.
Yet many even think the pace is too slow.
If you do business today, you go bankrupt before you have even started.
People don't want to waste time with the beginning,
they'd rather skip straight to the end.
In this day and age, you fall in love in the evening, are engaged at night,
and get married the next morning.
At noon you have a fight; by night you're divorced.
In negotiations between countries, before a treaty is evened signed,
it's already broken.
Because nowadays it is considered chic to be quick.
CHORUS:

No time, no time, no time.
Yes, we have no time.
Sorry, but we're always on the go,
with tongues hanging out as we run.
We have no spare time.
No time, no time, no time,
no hours nor even a second to spare.
We hardly sleep, we don’t rest.
No time, no time, no time.

Es soll noch Menschen geben,
die ganz gemuetlich leben und sich nicht kuemmern um das Tempo unserer Zeit.
Die noch nicht wild besessen aus Automaten fressen, bis ihnen uebel wird vor lauter Schnelligkeit.
Jedoch in diesen bewegten Zeiten, trifft man nur wenige von diesen Leuten.
Denn heut steht man im Schnellautomaten, mit der Marke im zittrigen Pfoetchen.
Oben steckt man sie rein und dann gibt’s einen Dreh, schon ist unten zum Vorschein ein Broetchen.
Und dann isst man das Broetchen in rasender Hast, denn es warten ja schon hundert andere und man kaut und man kaut, ohne Ruh ohne Rast, denn es sagt eine Stimme, der wandere.
Marke rein, Broetchen raus, schon ist dein Essen aus.
Man ist schnell ohne jede Finesse, der es schmeckt ist ganz ohne Fingresse.
Keine Zeit, keine Zeit, keine Zeit. Ja, wir haben keine Zeit. Es tut uns leid.
Wir sind immer auf dem Sprung, haengt uns raus schon die Zung und doch wir rennen, ja wir kennen keine Zeit.
Keine Zeit, keine Zeit, keine Zeit, keine Stunde und Sekunde haben wir Zeit. Ja, wir schlafen heute kaum noch, denn wir ruhen uns nicht aus. Keine Zeit, keine Zeit, keine Zeit.
Man laesst sich weit und breit heut nicht mehr Sekunde Zeit heut.
Es geht im Gegenteil uns noch zu langsam fast.
Machst du Geschaefte heute, bist du bereits schon pleite, bevor du ueberhaupt noch angefangen hast.
Man moecht am liebsten, ja das soll’s geben, das Ende noch vor Beginne leben.
Heut verliebt man sich abends, verlobt sich bei Nacht und vermaehlt in der Frueh sich zufriede und am Mittag da hat man bereits sich verkracht und am Abend ist man wieder geschieden.
Findet heut zwischen Laendern Verhandlungen statt und die Herren haben alles besprochen, ja dann wird noch bevor unterzeichnet man hat, der geschlossene Vertrag schon gebrochen,
denn das findt man heut chick, denn wir sind ja so quick.
Es ist gleich, ob wir heute reell sind, denn die Hauptsache ist, dass wir schnell sind.
Keine Zeit, keine Zeit, keine Zeit. Ja, wir haben keine Zeit. Es tut uns leid. Wir sind immer auf dem Sprung haengt uns raus schon die Zung und doch wir rennen, ja wir kennen keine Zeit.
Keine Zeit, keine Zeit, keine Zeit, keine Stunde und Sekunde haben wir Zeit. Ja, wir schlafen heute kaum noch, denn wir ruhen uns nicht aus. Keine Zeit, keine Zeit, keine Zeit.

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

  A style of art developed in the 20th century, characterized chiefly by heavy, often black lines that define forms, sharply contrasting, often vivid colors, and subjective or symbolic treatment of thematic material. Traditional forms of culture like painting became obsolete by mass culture, and in second sense you can actually see the visual styles of expressionisman artistic and literary movement originating in Germany at the beginning of the 20th century, which sought to express emotions rather than to represent external reality: characterized by the use of symbolism and of exaggeration and distortion integrated in the films, summed up by one of the film designers who declared that "films must be drawings brought to life." expressionism and Dadaism: A European artistic and literary movement (1916-1923) that flouted conventional aesthetic and cultural values by producing works marked by nonsense, travesty, and incongruity.
occured in the same period.

Words, images, pictures have power and influence our lifestyle and understanding of societies. in term of nihilism approach, an 11th century monk having power to take life of a peson obviously is fake to the society therefore nihilistic.Francis enlists the help of some of the staff who go through Caligari's papers. They find that he is obsessed with the fictional story of an 11th century monk who was able to wield hypnotic powers over a sleepwalker. When, a sleepwalker was delivered to this hospital he began his plan on using the sleepwalker as his hypnotized slave to carry out murders and gain power. obviously, it is an evil power that Dr. cailigary is obsessed, again nihilistic to the society.

                                         Marxism and frankfurt School.

The founders of Marxism, Marx and Engels, participated in the “International Workingmen's Association” from 1864 to 1872, where they found their first base of support and a connection with the workers' movement. Based in London, the International found supporteres across Europe and in the U.S.A.They tended to focus on a different dynamic, a different unity-of-opposites, the opposition between culture and society, or more specifically the utopian values contained in art and the dominant social norms.

Marx emphasized praxis at a time when almost every other intellectual favored detachment from reality. Even Hegel, Marx argued, did not see that it was really the interaction of opposing economic forces: the forces of production (technology, science, and culture) and the ownership of the means of production, that was the true driving force of change in history, and which takes the form of the class struggle between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat in modern times. However, to bring things full circle the old theoretical foundation (based on the proletariat) on which praxis rested had now been broken. All of the economic conditions were present for revolutionary change in 1918, yet when faced with this pivotal moment, the supposedly revolutionary workers and their leadership became conservative. So how could this new generation born around the 1890s, who came of age during the war find a new way to revive praxis?

                                    

     Values change over time because of the critical role that art plays in society, producing new syntheses of values that are generated from the clash between culture and society. To understand better the motivations behind values or belief systems, they also incorporated Freudian psychoanalysis based on the idea of the unconscious, which Freud claimed he "discovered." Nietzsche's emphasis on cultural decline and nihilism was also added to the mix. (Nietzsche's concepts of the "Apollonian" (reason) and "Dionysian" (sensuality) as forces within art itself, also suggests this idea of unity-of-opposites and synthesis, as does his most famous saying: "whatever does not kill you, makes you stronger." The synthesis of injury and health produces a stronger body.
