Both films use jarring and unnerving imagery to tell their stories, I personally feel as if these two movies shaped and made known what makes a good horror movie.

This may be obvious to everyone, but both films were shot on 35 mm

Metropolis also had several moments of sexuality that was not blatantly shown, but heavily hinted at . This was also very prominent in gothic literature.

I also noticed that some shots of metropolis, mainly the scenes involving a larger crowed, looked very similar to how Germany would look in the 40's.

I've noticed that Nosferatu is mentioned much more in todays pop culture then Metropolis is, I wonder why?

The fact that two German directors created something so different in style then most people is just interesting to me.

I found it interesting how Metropolis is one of those movies that combine the two most popular genres of movies in this time, Sci Fi and horror. While Nosferatu leans heavily more towards the latter.

Nosferatu heavily uses shadows in its runtime to make the viewer use their imagination, this harkens back to the previous point about implications.

It may be a reach, but something I interpreted from both films is how there are themes of ascending humanity, or a being that is more then human, is not always a good thing.

Something I found funny in both films, is how prominent shots of only hands or hands being a plot point.

Nosferatu deals with themes of religion, take the crosses on the door.

Metropolis shoots the movie in a way that makes these cities and buildings look massive and real

Metropolis has an editing style that makes it seem as if scenes are happening at the same time.

# data[].attributes.body
Nosferatu feels like a montage of clips edited together, not a bad thing though

# data[].attributes.body
Both films also feel very similar to the works of H.P. Lovecraft

Both movies are obviously inspired by their book counterparts, but those books are inspired by preexisting pieces of gothic literature. the most obvious works are Carmilla by Sheridan La Fanu, and Mary Shelleys Frankenstein, coincidently both authors are women, which is a big deal for the time period.

I also felt as if Nosferatu had a lot of implied elements in story telling, such as sounds that happened in your mind, but not on screen during more chilling moments.

While both movies deal with themes of the occult, it is much more obvious in Metropolis.

I noticed that both movies did not shy away from raw uncanniness, mainly in terms of faces.
