i just finished The Man Who Laughs (1928)!

is it just me or why does every single german silent film i have watched so far include both a mob chasing someone through the streets and someone escaping onto a rooftop

#caligari had the rooftop and mob chase with cesare #grot and the workers chased maria through the streets in metropolis and also freder and rotwang escape on roof #and in nosferatu knock was chased through the streets and climbed on a roof #silent film #the man who laughs #conrad veidt #i really liked how it was like if a movie were a ballet
