I’m currently also taking an Introduction to Film course, and in that class, we had to watch a film from 1920, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Similarly to the short film we watched in our class, Caligari was filmed from one perspective, not many like in films today. It is unnatural that in modern-day films, we as the audience are so many different people in a scene. Other elements from Caligari like the sets being distorted and the overly expressive facial expressions to help convey feelings in a silent film, were odd and “old-school” for me to see. The way Carr speaks about the “self” being multiple people in today’s technologically advancing world is interesting. It’s strange to read about how everything I’ve known about my “self” is altered reality according to Carr, and changing the “self” of discipline.
