>wait no, you CAN'T execute a child killer because...BECAUSE YOU CAN'T OK?!
>>223364938Great movie and ending in the court with everyone losing/ not a happy ending was fitting
>>223364938Overrated shitty movie. His ending rant is praised by faggots, but sounds utterly retarded and cringe worthy to anyone with more than 3 braincells.
>>223364938Wait he was killing them? I thought the whole point was he was a weirdo who people hated because he's creepy.
>>223366311No. He was a child murdering pedo.
>>223366359wtf? When did they say that? I thought the entire point was the town needed a scapegoat so some guy randomly wrote an M and the towns ugliest guy.
>>223364938It's sad how much of our kino education was apologism for pedos. This was taught in film classes as textbook. Then in the 80s-90s the "satanic panic" or suspecting men around kids not of their own were called homophobia.
>>223364938is he a pedo jew?
>>223366398It would kind of help you understand the plot of a foreign language film if you read the subtitles
>>223366398Not only did the police track him down, he also confessed to his murders in the penultimate scene.
>>223366642They made an English language version that was released in 1933. Don't know if it survived, though.
>>223366464Now it's pedo panic. Are you happy?
HBO max is the best streaming service because they have old great movies like this
Is this a reference to Leo Frank?
Started watching on the jewtube just a moment ago because of this thread. I forgot how good this movie is.
>>223366939No, no reference at all, but murders reminiscent of Georg Karl Großmann and Fritz Haarmann, both of which are mentioned in the movie.
>>223366398
>>223364938> I confess now that you got me cornered that I got a problem> I knew I had that problem, but didn't say anything till you got me> You too will be M for Murder if you kill me
>>223367282>Karl Großmann>is a Gross ManBravo Tolkien.
>>223368162"Groß" is German for "big", it's a cognate with the English word "great".
>>223364938I like to think that after the events of the movie, he got sent to a concentration camp and executed for being an "undesirable".
This is the only Lorre movie I've seen. I love his Looney Tunes parodies so which others should I check out?
>>223368249The movie plays in 1930, no nazis or concentration camps at that time. He would have been sentenced to death, though, which was done by guillotine in the Weimar Republic I think.
>>223368287Maltese Falcon
>>223368287>which others should I check out?Arsenic and Old Lace. He's also in Casablanca and The Maltese Falcon. And in The Comedy of Terrors (color).
>>223368219Lol, so in German it's>You're a gross man>For deine?
>>223368287Mad Love is insanely good.
>>223368962für dich
>/tv/ is too plebian to understand that the movie deals with the rise of German fascism>this board never even read KracauerJust stick to capeshit, you fucking morons
>>223368314>there were no Nazis in 1930imagine being this stupid
Easily one of the greatest films ever. Watched it with a group recently and we were all blown away. It's so tense, and the characters are so well sketched out despite very little screentime dedicated to developing any characters beyond the Mörderer
He's mental, just put the boy down
>>223366398Check your right shoulder, anon, for you might be wearing an "M"... for MORON!
>>223369298No nazis that would have played a part in the movie, since they weren't in power yet
>>223369421>How do you make that backwards b?
>>223364938>(((hollywood))) making flicks about how child predators shouldn't be punished for their crimesA movie about Chris Hansen and TCAP just released that tries to paint Hansen as the villain. Stop noticing.
>>223369582>M>Hollywood Retard /pol/fag confidently running his mouth as always.
If you do, they come back and kill you in your dreams.
>>223366256This guy is a dullard.
>>223368249He joined the ss and given a regiment.
>>223369275Go on, erudite anon. Expound on him.
