So many people described the plot already, so I won't waste our time describing it. I give 10/10 because I think German cinema was superior to American productions. If we watch any US mogie from the 30s and 40s, the actors are very childish, there is too much singing and everyone is good looking and smiling. Hollywood produced 2 hour commercials, not art. Besides, they were heavily censored, excluding, sex, nudity, drugs, which are part of human behavior.
M is different. The German cinema has actors looking more ordinary. There is no need for soundtrack, and the themes are more adult. While US films love good guys vs bad guys, here we have a case of bad people hunting someone more evil than themselves. The morality is more ambiguous.
Therefore, I conclude that Hollywood is a very patronizing institution. Always dumbing down the stories and making forgettable pieces.
