 The familiar look of Caligari's main character can also be seen in the movie "The Crow".With the tight, black outfit, white make-up and darkened eyes, Brandon Lee's character is a close relative to both Cesare, and to Burton's film "Edward Scissorhands".Burton was also reportedly influenced by silent films and German Expressionism for his film adaptation of the musical "", describing the musical as a "silent film with music".
