Everything about Destiny Film totally explained
Destiny, or in original
German,
Der müde Tod is a
1921 silent film directed in
Germany by
Fritz Lang. The German language title literally means
Weary Death (in the sense of
personified Death); the film was originally released in the
United States as
Behind the Wall and in the
United Kingdom as
Destiny, the title under which it has been reissued on
DVD . The film, rich in
special effects, is structured as a
frame tale with three
stories within the story.
Synopsis
In the
Expressionistic frame story, in which human lives are each represented by a candle, Death grants a woman three chances to save her lover, if
love can triumph over death. The three stories within the story each occur in a setting that's nominally historic, but really in the realm of fantasy: an adventure tale with a
Persian setting out of the
Arabian Nights, a
Renaissance Venetian romance, and a largely comic story set in
China.
Douglas Fairbanks purchased the
American rights, to delay its general American release while he copied the effects of the Persian segment for his
1924 The Thief of Baghdad.
