This is a great dystopian movie and the first monument in the history of science fiction movies. It was born in 1927, but we still talk about it today: from the loss of the original master to the recovery of copies - its restoration process has become a legendary story, and the visual effects of the film have influenced such as " Classics such as Blade Runner, The Fifth Element and Star Wars. "Metropolis" also relies on visual impact to maintain its brilliance over the long years. Crowds,...

Metropolis was the largest film production of the year, shooting 2 million feet of film and employing 25,000 male actors, 11,000 actresses and 750 child actors. The film’s first-shot completed version lasted three and a half hours, and the German premiere version lasted 153 minutes (the film length was 4,189 meters and was projected at 24 frames per second), and was later edited by the distributor into a two-hour version at Released in Germany and overseas. However, based on factors such as box...

My mother, what did I watch! I found an original German version, and another English transcript, and guessed it together. Fortunately, there are not many lines. This can't just be a sci-fi movie, this is a particularly awesome cult movie. Shocked face the whole...

[A] The 150-minute restored version of 2010 can't help but feel a sense of admiration for Frieze. What kind of soul could have produced such a cross-era classic in 1927! Myth, religion, production, class, technology and reason, these ultimate propositions covering all human existence are all included in a black and white silent film, even after nearly a century, the ideas conveyed by this film are still so impressive Admiration is the greatest swan song of silent film. If "2001: A Space...

The repaired full version I saw, split the scene, the middle, and the last three paragraphs, 146min belongs to the longer silent film, the epic film format, the sci-fi scene is at least 30 years ahead, and the idea is at least 100 years ahead. Although the abridged pieces added after the restoration have black and white lines, they do not detract from the infinite brilliance of the work. It can be called a classic among classics. If I can give ten stars, I will definitely give twelve stars,...

Religious elements and dystopia wrapped in sci-fi elements. The regulator of the brain and hands must be the heart! In the dungeon, like the tower of Babita, what people need is the unity of the heart. The uniform but rigid pace and work, the task and the building are grouped together, the mouth of the devil that is bloodless but shocks the soul, the eyes full of horror and desire, the robot seems insidious and cunning, but is actually cold and ruthless. The expression is exaggerated without...

A dystopian movie in a sci-fi guise. The actor's expressions and body movements are exaggerated and jumpy, and the heroine Maria has been scratching her chest. The heavy footsteps of the workers and the machinery that never stops, the mouth of hell and the seven deadly sins perform spectacle. Those who built cities with their hands lived underground, and the upper-level rulers fully enjoyed social resources. When the contradiction becomes more acute and is provoked and erupted, criticizing and...

The transformation of class contradictions into internal contradictions The pseudo-revolutionary separation and superficial reconciliation provoked by private grievances are the most alienation and hypocrisy. It seems to criticize the relationship of capital, but it is actually the consolidation of religious...

pinnacle of expressionism
A masterpiece of expressionism.
The most breathtaking thing is the huge man-made buildings built throughout the metropolis, majestic and full of futuristic features.
The actors' exaggerated performances can also show their inner emotions very well. The workers frantically turned the knobs and hands,...
