Greta Schroeder

Is the link to Greta Schroeder correct? In 1920 she would have been 21 and the little girl in the film clearly is, well, a little girl. Groomtech (talk) 06:27, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Gustav Meyrink

What's the relationship between his novel and the film? Weimar cinema: an essential guide to classic films of the era by Noah William Isenberg p.332 says "based on the novel"; Passion and rebellion: the expressionist heritage by Stephen Eric Bronner, Douglas Kellner p.384 says "adapted from"; Expressionist film: new perspectives by Dietrich Scheunemann p.273 says "adapted from". If this is a common misconception, it's a remarkably well-sourced one. Groomtech (talk) 07:08, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have the sources mentioned and I don't know how the author's there concluded the film is in any way based on the novel by Meyrink other than that Meyrink's novel was one his more popular works and that Wegener could have been inspired to research the original Golem legend. The movie is set in the time of Rabbi Löw, creator of the Golem, Meyrink's novel is set in the early 20th century and as the events around Pernath go in the late 19th century.

Famulus and Luhois

This article incorrectly calls Loew's assistant Famulus, which is really just a synonym for "assistant". Also, the emperor is referred to as being named "Luhois", which I could not find any reliable source for either, so I removed any references to these two names from the article.

The blackletter and handwritten English title cards (that look a lot like they were based on the original German ones) do refer to the Emperor as "L"-something (once only "L", and once in full in hand-writing hard to decipher). The original German title cards did not survive and were replaced by modern typeset title cards, and where the English title cards do have a letter and hand-written name, the new German title cards are just left blank. --87.180.197.207 (talk) 19:09, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Spell during the fire

The spell used by Rabbi Loew during the fire does not remove the spirit of Azaroth from the Golem. The German title cards clearly read of the people begging Rabbi Loew to use his "fire spell" to stop the fire ravaging the ghetto, and that's what they're celebrating him for later. It's only during the celebratory parade that Rabbi Loew even remembers the Golem that he has totally forgotten about ("But what about the Golem? Where is the Golem?"), and that's when the creature is aleady outside the gates with the children. --87.180.197.207 (talk) 19:04, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Missing Information and Expansion

This article is too short and is missing important information on the film's release, reception, and legacy. The article is also missing important citations of its material and needs proper footnotes added to its unreferenced material. The production section is way too short and needs more information added to it. All of these changes need to happen in order for this article to meet Wikipiedia's standards of a well developed article.
