My favorite movie is Citylights. Citylights is a 1928 American drama silent film directed by German-born director Fritz Lang, who was then in his early 30s. It stars Mary Astor, Conrad Veidt and Julian West. The film tells the story of a man's struggle with alcoholism in turn-of-the-20th century Vienna, Austria (now part of Austria). With its fine cinematography and atmospheric direction, it has been called one of the greatest films ever made. In 1999, City Lights was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." In 2007, the American Film Institute ranked it 11th on its list of the best American films ever made. The story is told with a flashback plot structure from various points of view. The plot focuses on a down-and-out drunk named "The Tramp" (Charlie Chaplin). He encounters a blind flower girl (Mary Pickford) who sells flowers on the street and becomes infatuated with her. She mistakes him for a wealthy man and attempts to seduce him. The Tramp falls in with a less than honest con man (Conrad Veidt) and his gang. After his scheme is foiled, the Tramp becomes despondent and sick, and spends most of the film trying to get away from the city. Later, we learn that he went to an orphanage as a baby and was raised there by two older sisters (Mary Astor and Marjorie Rambeau). The title of this film is meant to be rendered as "City Lights", but the final film shown for decades at New York's Museum of Modern Art contained both the "City" and "Lights" deliberately changed during production from what was written on Lang's script to "City Lights". This may have been a last minute decision by Lang in disgust with his own film. The film follows the traditional jigsaw puzzle style and is in three parts: (1) A glass of wine; (2) An accident; and (3) Convalescence. The film essentially follows the story's three-part narrative structure, which tells of a man, who after a life of hard labor, falls hard into alcoholism. He tries to get away from the city—and his problems—by going to an orphanage for boys when he was young, but when he sees how much it costs to stay there, he returns to Vienna and tries to get back on his feet. Mary Pickford plays the blind flower girl. Connections to specific part of German Expressionism can be found in the characters of "The Tramp", played by Charlie Chaplin, and "Rose", played by Lisi Krömel. There are also connections to German Expressionism in this film, for example, shadows play an important role (see above). They are used especially for the scenes where the Tramp is drunk and when he tries to escape from Vienna. There are also many long takes (see above).
