The movie M I felt was really interesting. It was about a child murderer, who wasn’t able to be tracked down as the numbers of missing children started to build, the more panicky the town got. Fingers were being pointed in every direction and innocent people were getting the blame. Mothers had to go along their business in fear for their own child. Soon the criminal community gets involved and murders are chasing a murder. I was bored at the beginning, but from the meeting scene on the movie really grasped my attention. I thought it was humorous how they made the cops and the criminals look so much alike when they were shooting the meeting scene. Of course the cops did seem more organized in their plan on finding the murder, though that didn’t matter the criminals still got the job done. Everything in the film was so ridiculous from the eye witnessing being a blind man to the criminals being able to outsmart the cops and catch the child murder first. The ending was fantastic I thought the off scene shot was brilliant I found that it drew me more to the film because you had to figure out who off scene was causing that expression on the characters face. What the mothers had to say was so powerful, that it didn’t matter what you did with the child murder at the end, it still wouldn’t bring their beautiful children back, and that line is very true. I think especially during the time that M was made the director was trying to send out a warning. To be careful and look after your child, cause they can be so easily manipulated with their innocents that anyone can distract a child from safety and cause harm to them.
