Gothic style as early as 192 1 year, a Swede named Christensen made a film called Witchcraft in Past Dynasties. As we all know, the film at that time was just born and still in its infancy. There are few complete movies with storylines, and the movie stunts are simple and rough, so Christensen reproduces some images about witchcraft for us on the screen in the form of documentary. It is said to be a documentary, but the scenes inside are basically staged. In our view today, it is more like a feature film. However, this is the first time that Gothic culture has been integrated into the expression field of film art, and dark elements such as heresy, death and witchcraft have become the theme of the film for the first time. In this sense, this is an out-and-out Gothic film. Because the theme of the film was too advanced, Witchcraft of Past Dynasties was banned for decades, and it was not lifted until after World War II. It is worth pondering that the Goths in history may also come from Scandinavia, where Sweden is located. One thousand years later, it was in this land that the first Gothic film was born. However, the first influential Gothic film came from Germany. One year after the birth of Witchcraft of Past Dynasties, German director Mona filmed The Vampire Nosferatu. Since then, the famous vampire has officially appeared on the big screen. In fact, the protagonist in the film is the infamous Dracula written by Irish writer Stoke. Maunau changed her name just to avoid copyright disputes, but it didn't have the expected effect. After the film was released, the copyright has been in constant trouble, and no dust has been settled until now. However, the film itself is really very successful, and it caused a sensation as soon as it was released. Mao nao also established his position as a master director with this film. The vampire Nosferatu has also become the first landmark Gothic film in the history of human film. It is worth mentioning that at that time, the German film industry was in the dominant stage of expressionist films. Besides the vampire Nosferatu, another expressionist film, Clay Fighter, was also an excellent Gothic film. It's just that the vampire Nosferatu's light is so dazzling that Clay Fighter Company is almost forgotten. Most of the female vampire characters in the following films are inseparable from the models created in Desire. It was not until the 1990s that Gothic films really ushered in the golden age of development. During this period, Gothic films set off waves of upsurge, not only in Europe and America, but also all over the world. 1990, a director named tim burton found an actor named Johnny Depp and jointly contributed a film called Edward Scissorhands to us-since then, the curtain of the revival of Gothic films has been completely opened in Hollywood. As a contemporary landmark Gothic film, the significance of Edward Scissorhands cannot be overestimated. This film has no vampire, witchcraft or religious background, but it also weaves a wonderful black Gothic picture about loneliness, death and pain ... The talented tim burton seamlessly integrates the ancient Gothic culture with the current background, injecting new vitality into the Gothic theme, thus fundamentally expanding the scope of Gothic films. Tim burton has gradually become the greatest Gothic movie master of our time, and he and Johnny Depp, the golden partner, have also cooperated perfectly. Sleepless Valley (1999) is the crystallization of their cooperation again. This time, Burton unexpectedly began to take witchcraft as the theme and painted us a sad and bitter song at the end of the century. 1994 is indeed a memorable year for gothic films. In addition to Interview with Vampires at Night and Crow, the love between life and death in another Gothic film, Jinlu: Wolf Journey, also made its debut on the big screen this year. This film tells another classic image of Gothic theme-Jinlu: Wolf Brigade. As far as influence and artistic achievement are concerned, Golden Road: Love Between Life and Death of Wolves has surpassed all previous films with similar themes. It can be said that the success of "Golden Road: Wolf Brigade" makes the image of "Golden Road: Wolf Brigade" truly become a typical image in the human film art gallery-but obviously, compared with his other vampire "Goth Brothers", the success of "Golden Road: Wolf Brigade" in the film industry is indeed a little late.
