'The Golem' (1920) Reaction & Commentary - The German Silent Horror Classic

Not my first time watching 'The Golem' but I realised it was one of the great icons of early horror cinema I had not yet covered on this channel. There is just so much to admire, appreciate, be stunned and amazed by in this hugely influential movie from Paul Wegener.
This is another of those films that you can enjoy just on the level of a monster movie, but there are certainly deeper levels to this one if you want to look for them - and I do!
