* {{Bowdlerise}}: In one English-language version of the film, presumably out of hypersensitivity over potential antisemitic interpretations, the Jewish characters are simply described in the intertitles as being members of "a mystical brotherhood".

* RobeAndWizardHat: With his pointy hat and flowing robe, the Rabbi's appearance comes rather close to the textbook image of a wizard. He also has a different, even more [[NiceHat magnificent hat]] specifically for summoning demons.

* AssholeVictim: Florian is kind of a jackass when interacting with anyone except Miriam, so no one feels particularly bad when the Golem confronts him.


Added DiffLines:

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: The Golem doesn't seem to be actively benign or malicious, he is simply incapable to really grasp the world around him.


Added DiffLines:

* GreaterScopeVillain: The fearsome demon Astaroth, whose evil will influences the Golem.

''Der Golem, wie er in die Welt kam'' (''The Golem, How He Came into the World'') is a 1920 [[GermanExpressionism German]] silent horror film, co-written, co-directed, and starring Paul Wegener, about the origins of the {{Golem}} of Prague. It is one of the earliest and most influential Expressionist films and is considered a masterpiece of the German silent cinema. Wegener had produced two earlier films using the character, ''Der Golem'' (1915), a mostly lost film telling a somewhat similar story, and ''Der Golem und die Tänzerin'' (''The Golem and the Dancing Girl'') (1917), in which an actor (clearly Wegener playing an {{Expy}} of himself) puts on the make-up of his monster role as a prank on a dancing-girl whom he is interested in.

** Not that the Hebrew in the film is very accurate, but it is surprisingly loyal to the kabbalic roots of the tale. The word "Aemaet" - אמת, which is used to give the Golem life means "Truth". Once the first letter is erased, it creates a new word, "Met" - מת, which means "dead".
