The image shows a schematic diagram of the dragon slain by Siegfried in Fritz Lang's classic movie. Eight or nine men are inside or under the model, operating it. I think it's an impressive achievement for its time (1924). You can view the result in this video clip (coup de grâce at the 5:09 mark when he stabs it in the eye):

ReplyDeleteI feel for that wonderful dragon.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you Cindy. The dragon just seemed to be siting by the brook, minding his own business, when "wham!"...
ReplyDeleteI watched this just before going to see Avengers. What an amazing contrast that was.
Seriously! What a jerk! This is why we can't have dragons anymore.
ReplyDeleteFascinating! I do agree that poor Dragon wasn't bothering anybody til that jerk Siegfried came along.
