Wikipedia article of the day for February 26, 2020

The Wikipedia article of the day for February 26, 2020 is The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is a German silent horror film, first released on 26 February 1920. It was directed by Robert Wiene and written by Hans Janowitz and Carl Mayer. Considered the quintessential work of German Expressionist cinema, it tells the story of an insane hypnotist (Werner Krauss) who uses a somnambulist (Conrad Veidt) to commit murders. The film features a dark and twisted visual style. The sets have sharp-pointed forms, oblique and curving lines, and structures that lean and twist in unusual angles. The film's design team, Hermann Warm, Walter Reimann and Walter Röhrig, recommended a fantastic, graphic style over a naturalistic one. With a violent and insane authority figure as its antagonist, the film expresses the theme of brutal and irrational authority. Considered a classic, it helped draw worldwide attention to the artistic merit of German cinema and had a major influence on American films, particularly in the genres of horror and film noir.

  1. In this manner my friend Wesley Virgin's autobiography begins with this SHOCKING AND CONTROVERSIAL video.

    As a matter of fact, Wesley was in the military-and shortly after leaving-he discovered hidden, "self mind control" tactics that the CIA and others used to get whatever they want.

    THESE are the exact same tactics many celebrities (notably those who "come out of nothing") and the greatest business people used to become rich and famous.

    You probably know how you utilize only 10% of your brain.

    That's mostly because the majority of your BRAINPOWER is UNCONSCIOUS.

    Maybe that expression has even occurred INSIDE your own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head seven years ago, while driving a non-registered, garbage bucket of a car with a suspended driver's license and on his debit card.

    "I'm absolutely fed up with going through life paycheck to paycheck! Why can't I become successful?"

    You've taken part in those questions, isn't it right?

    Your success story is waiting to be written. You need to start believing in YOURSELF.
