    The real question is how this series gets me emotionally attached to a strung-up fake skull.

    I recall watching the opera Wozzeck.
    Scary stuff.
    From the way I see it, Expressionism was like the echo of all the screams of the dying in the first World War.

    Wow, perfect upload timing. I have an essay on expressionist film due at the end of this weekend for my university film history course that I've been suffering with writer's block towards, but this gave me tons of inspiration. Time to go write a killer introductory paragraph.

    I know this is theater and not movies, but I notice a style overlap between this and the silent film "Metropolis."

    • @DarkAngelEU

      Metropolis is also considered to use Expressionist aesthetics, so you're right for sensing similarities ;)

      He's also severely butchering the name Van Gogh. If you asked for what he's saying in the Netherlands, you'd just get a bag of liquorice. Venco is a popular brand. Don't people do any research before making a video?

      @@Marco_Onyxheart buddy chill. Crash course does a lot if research for every episode. Just because he doesnt say "VAHN GAUCGH" or however you pronounce it, doesnt mean the facts he presents about the man are wrong. Thats a fallacy in itself.
