poem “ The Unknown Citizen By W H Auden is a poem that pokes fun at the life of a automaton working in a factory. Reading it in a glance‚ I find the title that catches my very first attention. It is because Auden gives the poem such a title that the whole poem sounds so dramatic and pompous‚ as if it is dedicated to some citizen who have sacrificed so much for the nation.

Karen Cote English 102 15 February 2011 W. H Auden: The Unknown Citizen The marble monument erected by the state or town is usually of a hometown hero.

It focuses more on the directors and not the actors‚ which is good because most of the decent directors of that time were completely out of their minds

If film scholars are right that 1920’s “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari” is the cinema’s first masterpiece‚ as I think they are‚ then we need to reassess the popular assumption that “Caligari” is a flawlessly perfect film in all senses with exquisite craft and supreme importance.

Delving deep into the mind of a madman‚ “Caligari” is a film prone to unsettle its viewers‚ especially those who are watching it a century later‚ in early
