The BLUE ANGEL

The Blue Angel represents an important time German expressionism. Many films of the Expressionist era dealt with insanity, madness, and betrayal. In the film, a turning point for me was when Lola sort of declines Rath'S marriage pros pal.  Lola, a wild, free loving woman backs off the idea of marriage. I found that scene interesting because it marks a defining point I'm women value during this new point in time. We see a change in a young women's value system.  We also see constant dark shadows and lighting which is an excellent example of expressionist films. Lola also marks a woman not afraid of her public sexually. She is performing at the cabaret and is not embarrassed about it as oppose to Rath who is full of jealousy. We see here Lola represents the "new woman", a woman not afraid of her sexual,y and her body,  who loves that attention and is ready for the idea of marriage.
