Crotch Shot

I guess to make us feel disgusted in a way. He was never shown as charming or anything along those lines. Even the way he was eating his dinner was kind of disgusting. So even though he was a detective with a sense of power, you was in the end, just revolted by it.

This video was banned from Music Television, cuz you could see his junk ...

Magnetic refrigerator poetry memory.

yeah, his bulge was like IN YOUR FACE!. Too bad they hadn't invented 3D cinema yet, that would have been something

Maybe Lang was jealous... ;-)

From my knowledge... in many countries during this time period when they would take photographs of generals or people of very high level in the army in Europeon countries they would take the photo from very low like this.

I agree that it was a little weird to all of a sudden have a sausage thrown in your face

I thought it was a really clever shot, although it seems a little weird. In the DVD commentary they said it was to make him seem gigantic. Also, he is at a low point in the investigation and is drinking "dishwater."

I'm thinking it's because Lang was trying to make Lohmann appear very relaxed and laid-back.

Either that or they dropped the camera.
