[Daily Dose #1: Spiralling into View: The Pleasure Garden (1925)]

I do see examples

The different views of the woman rushing down the theater stairs to the stages slightly reminded me of aspects of views in Vertigo

The way the possibly future villain is highlighted smoking below a No Smoking sign

The way the men are leering in different ways at the women on stage shows their different levels of enjoyment at what they see

Also how the star of the film shoots down her suitor makes you concerned for the ladies in the show and their would be suitors

They may not all go pleasantly

The purse which is about to have the important letter of introduction is specifically lighted to draw your attention to it reminds me of later movies lighting

How in a later film it is used to highlight the lighting on a possibly poisoned glass of milk while being carried up the stairs

Making the glass appear to glow

I do see aspects in this opening that in later films are expounded on more fully

Even though it is a silent film the audience can clearly understand what you are wanted to understand by the director
