Going back to 90 years ago, he burned the Mechanical Virgin Mary, who predicted that science is the last religion of mankind. 90 years later, the premonition has become a conclusion: the rabble is still lost in the process of man-making the Tower of Babel, and the metropolis is still heading for the fate of the underground ruins. In this grand ceremony that spans thousands of years, where does human beings need Satan? Human beings themselves are their own...

The horror and blindness of the mass power movement; the labor disputes under German expressionism; the contradiction between the old-fashioned backward entrepreneur and the son who is willing to share the suffering of the working class in pursuit of advanced consciousness; dramatic exaggerated expressions And lighting; Maria's waist is really soft, she must be studying ballet. Speaking of which, it is really an allegory of Christ, but under the understanding of Chinese thinking, that is, under...

Stripped of the mighty sci-fi or comic art, Fritz Lang's "Metropolis" and Lubitsch's "The Corner Shop" tell the same story: the bosses (capitalists) are good-natured but inevitably human. The weakness is used by the villains around him, and he is angry with the male protagonist (son or regarded as a son) in the film. A model labor representative (foreman or runner) saves the boss at a critical moment. The boss resolutely changed his mind and changed his mind, and was fair to the male...

C + / The look and feel fell from the ten-star fluctuation at the beginning, and the integrated explosion editing and audio-visual four-star. It is undeniably a masterpiece worthy of the times. If Fritz Lang had an ending as shocking as the beginning, the Matrix and the like would obviously not have their current status in film history. The strongest feeling after reading it is why I haven't read the Bible...

The greatest significance of the 150-point full version is to reveal that the debut of Mechanical Maria is not a single act, but a Trinity montage of the wine pool, the meat forest, the court before the bed, and the Apocalypse of the Seven Deadly Sins. Communism started with machinery, was embraced by capitalists, and finally embraced labor. The inevitable spark of revolution is actually the same starting point and ending point. In God's eyes, this absurd cycle is not reincarnation, but human...

The majestic landscape, the majestic atmosphere, depicting class antagonism and elimination, and the super-imaginative future sci-fi vision, all have unparalleled universal forward-looking significance; the incurable "seven sins" of human nature destroy this city of death by hand, and God condemns It has fallen, and the fable of the end of the flood has been revealed; the metaphor of Mary on both sides is more like a scene from "Freedom to Lead the People" and echoes Joan of Arc; ignorant...

The actions and shots are full of stage and ritual. It is really ironic to look at the low-end and high-end people in Germany a century ago after the removal of Beijing. However, the main point of the film is the theory of class reconciliation: the reconciliation between the low-end and the high-end cannot rely on class struggle, but on the mercy of the second generation. I was originally curious about the reaction of the film in the Soviet Union, but it was directly classified as a "social...

It is said over and over again that the reconciler between the brain and the hand is the heart, and the heart of defending the capitalists is clear. In other words, the two classes can only communicate, not merge, and another person is needed to bridge the gap. Both good and bad Maria's roles are boring. However, the magnificent scene of this classic silent film of the 1920s and the innovative shooting conception are very commendable from the film's aesthetic point of...

The regulator of the brain and hands must be the heart. The words themselves are correct, but nesting in the context of capitalism is entirely just as a representation of capital stylization (even using the Tower of Babel fable), and finally the male protagonist acts as an intermediary to reconnect the working class and the bourgeoisie, declaring violence to the working class The impossibility of revolution, the dictatorship of a few elites was sent to the bourgeoisie, and both sides found a...

Maria: HEAD and HANDS need a mediator. THE MEDIATOR BETWEEN HEAD AND HANDS MUST BE THE HEART!
Worker #1: But where is our mediator, Maria - ?
Maria: Wait for him! He will surely come!
Worker #2: We will wait, Maria...! But not much longer - - !

Maria: Today I will tell you the legend of THE TOWER OF BABEL... "Come, let us build us a tower whose top may reach unto the stars! And the top of the tower we will write the words: Great is the world and its Creator! And great is Man!" But the minds that had conceived the Tower of Babel could not build it. The task was too great. So they hired hands for wages. But the hands that built the Tower of Babel knew nothing of the dream of the brain that had conceived it. BABEL. BABEL. BABEL. BABEL. One man's hymns of praise became other men's curses. People spoke the same language, but could not understand each other...
