Fritz Lang made mythology feel like a dream carved into stone.  
Die Nibelungen is one of the most visually inventive silent films I’ve ever seen, every frame feels built from pure imagination rather than reality. The giant sets, the shadows, the dragon, the forests; it all feels ancient and unreal at the same time.  
What amazed me most is how creative the film still feels a century later, like cinema itself was discovering its own myths while the camera was rolling.

Surprisingly beautiful movie out of the '20s. The silent aspect of the film didn't bother me, jus tthe fact i'm not fluent in german was a bit rough.
It does show me i will enjoy silent movies that i'm able to follow better.

It did help that i knew the half of the story so i was able to follow it.

The slow pacing is it's biggest problem. Similar to an opera, some things are repeated to make it clear for the audience, which is understandable to an extent.

Still beautiful and i wonder how fucking good this would've been 10 years later with dialogue. Would've felt more full

Germanic tales have always fascinated me. They’re very similar to Persian mythology in how misunderstanding often plays a huge role in their tragic endings. It reminded me a lot of the Shahnameh. I also love how epics from the 1920s really take the time to show an entire mythology, or a character’s life, from beginning to end. You don’t see that very often anymore.
