The initial accusation against capitalism is then directed against the rabble; the female Maria is the symbol of love at first sight and the plundered; the Red Mary is the symbol of the destruction of the Apocalypse, dancing "heretic"; but the woman is the only preacher, the only Redemption hope. Reconciliation may be the theme of this film, but the inconsistencies in the film still baffle me. This is indeed a combination of religion and science fiction, but it is also a reflection of the...

Too stuffy, too stuffy, it's almost all fixed shots... More importantly, I'm too disgusted with this kind of naked social system theory functional theory! Fritz Lang almost only understands Le Pen's fur, and Le Pen's academic level itself is worth considering. After watching this film, I can even glimpse a little clue that the Nazis came to power five years later. Some people even say that this is dystopia, my God, watching movies without reading books is not...

The sci-fi world smells of dystopia, and tearing down the machine is not liberating yourself. Brigitte Helm has played the role of one true and one evil to the fullest. Imagination, lens language, political and religious metaphors are all near...

Went to the cinema to see the 153-minute fully restored version, but in fact there are still parts that need to use still pictures and text to explain the missing passages. The silent film of 1927 is still very shocking, and many shadows of later films can be seen, which shows its...

It is unimaginable that such a grand film could be made in 1927. One of Fritz Lang's expressionist masterpieces. Strong chiaroscuro, disturbing horror close-ups, parallel montages and other elements directly influenced later horror films and film noirs. The forward-looking idea of ​​man-machine integration has been repeatedly cited in many subsequent sci-fi movies. The architectural design in Metropolis is very postmodern and...

It's amazing, it's hard to imagine 27 years to do this! Especially Marley! Especially...

MOMA Rooftop, restored version, live soundtrack by Shanshui Records. Electronic music brings a sense of the future of the moment, a strange and unusual form that associates the highly developed, abstract industrial-class society with the electronic age. Electronic music is depersonalized, but integrated. It amplifies the effect in emotional scenes and becomes unstable in dialogue. Needless to say, the greatness of the film itself, the people will always be blind and...

the same language was spoken, but these men did not understand one another. The 1927 prophecy was never out of date. The world since the Industrial Revolution is a broken body: where the link between the hand and the brain is broken, the heart needs to be connected. The binary opposition between the dark womb purgatory of the underworld and the splendid vertical phallus of the above world is naive but essential. Dreaming of a complete total body in the early days of the...

The first time I watched it was not a full text, and then, finally, I watched this Metropolis discussing the superstructure on the upper floor of a building in the...

20190330 [Exhibition at China Film Archive] After seven years, the restored version of 2010 was re-released on the big screen, and was once again impressed by the pioneering setting and exciting rhythm that surpassed the times. More than 90 years ago, this film not only focused on the sharp contradiction between the capitalists and the working class, but also wrote a profound prophecy that under the totalitarian rule, the ignorant people were incited to become mob, and the speculation of religio
