The Ghost of the Castle

The West German film "The Ghost of the Castle" is a political satire. It has a unique artistic expression technique and style. Not only is there a large section of rap in the film, but even the list of directors, actors, and staff on the opening subtitles is also expressed in the form of rap. In addition, the arrangement of the plot and the description of the characters make people feel interesting. This film was shot in the 1950s. It matched the political situation at that time and gave a bitter satire on the resurgent fascism in West Germany. At the beginning of the prologue, a group of green forest heroes were captured by the government more than a hundred years ago. The government locked them in the cellar of a hotel, built a wall, and suffocated them to death. A hundred years later, the hotel was demolished, and the ghosts had to live in a nearby castle. From then on, they disappeared and disappeared in the castle, causing great trouble. The owner of the castle is a countess who is heavily in debt. Her creditors wanted to force her to pay the debt with the castle, but she refused. The creditor's son was ordered by his father to sneak into the castle to inspect the structure of the building. Unexpectedly, he fell in love with the countess at first sight and immediately sided with her against his father. At this time, the authorities wanted to borrow the castle to receive a foreign prince. In order to help the countess out of trouble, the ghosts stole the prince's jewelry and gave it to the countess.
