Lately it seems like its been the fashionable thing to bitch about the movies that are being produced by the Hollywood machine. There have been a number of threads here where people say that the current slump in Hollywood profits is due to the fact that only crap is coming from our left coast. Well, here is your chance to really hammer that fact home. Below is a link to a movie that 1) is nearly 100 years old, 2) has no sound, 3) has really awful picture quality, 4) only runs for about an hour, and 5) has no 'splosions or bewbs. And yet, dear prospective challenge participant, I submit to you that this flick will completely engross you in its story, and will blow your mind by the time it is over and you get a chance to think about the whole thing.
To participate in the challenge, do the following:
1. Download and watch this film from the link below. The copyright on the film has expired, so the download is legal. Also, the film runs at just around 1 hour, so this little exercise won't take up much of your day.
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
IMDB reference: Link
2. After watching it, give yourself some time to digest the whole film, especially the ending. It took me about an hour for it to really sink in, at which time I immediately watched it again.
3. Post your thoughts about the flick here. Spoilers are OK
