As someone who has seen Murnau’s Nosferatu quite a few times, I appreciated Eggers’ ending. The original really kinda ends when Hutter returns home. You get a couple of comedic scenes with Knock causing a ruckus in town, but basically the plague is a backdrop and Ellen just stumbles into discovering Orlock’s defeat. Then it’s over.
Meanwhile, Eggers added a real sense of dread and drama to Wisborg’s plague. The physical + mental toll of the plague is reflected in a more interesting way.
I did get taken out of the moment briefly at the end:
spoiler
When the occultist/paracelsian tells Hutter “No man can outrun his fate” after they fail to kill Orlock in his mansion. The exact same line is from the original, where Hutter is hurrying down a street and encounters the paracelsian on his way to work.
Whenever I watch the original, this line seems out of place and kinda pointless. Then to encounter it again in Eggers’ version interrupted my immersion. Granted, I think the context of the line makes way more sense in Eggers’ version, but it just struck me as an obvious reference.
I set up a very straightforward Godot dev environment yesterday using toolbox which is built on top of rootless Podman.
The nice thing about toolbox is that it uses my native host Wayland compositor. So whatever I have running in the toolbox can be interacted normally through sway (my host WM).
You can either distribute a container image with your given toolbox configured, or just document the setup steps.
