" M "

     The scene where Hans is being question by the police is very interesting.  By trying to say his motive of killing and by letting police know that he can't control what he does seem to work a bit with the officers.  But that didn't happen.  I choose this scene because Hans as the killer seem to show as if it was okay for him to kill just because of his condition.  But by all means he could have try to get help to resolve his issues.  Many killers tent to always be in denial of what they do, but there could always be light at the end of tunnel even by just trying to get help.


1.  In "Dr. Caligari" the police power just didn't make its presence known.  They show lack of interest in solving the crime at hand.  But in "M" the evolution of the police power did let everyone know that the killer will be caught one way or another and justice will be serve.  Their need to know who committed the crime was visible and because of it, society did their best to help.
2.  Whether the killer deserve to die or not, I believe is a very very sensitive subject.  No one has the right to take someone else life by all means.  But if the decision is one or the other, I guess that the motive of the crime and any evidence involve can help in the decision.    No matter what, killing someone is just not right, its very inhumane.
3.  The criminals ability to organize themselves in the capture of Beckert made a huge effect on the capture because they were thinking with their criminal minds.  Is as if they question themselves "if it was me they were looking for, where would I hide?".
4.  I would judge the depiction of the Nazis as criminals in the way that even though their profile wasn't great they help in the capture anyways.  They knew where to look and what to do since their knowledge in the dark side of society was something that police may have not experience in their own.
5.  The significance of the media in this film is to let society know what could happen or what is happening among their own people.  It could be use as a wake up call to be aware of their surrounding.
