    Dear blind girl.. It is worthwhile. I waited until the final restoration of the Argentine version, which lasted more than two and a half hours. Thanks to arte and the Mornau Foundation, now the story is finally complete. Sure enough, it is still rewarding to wait until 2009. Both the 27th edition and Datomo’s Metropolis are my favorite works. The large number of techniques in this work can make people feel sincerely amazed at the all-round greatness of Germany in the silent film era, and what...

    The visual imagery is advanced and deserves to be a classic of the times; the logic of the story itself is chaotic, the performance is exaggerated, and the details are not...

    When the German audience in 1927 saw this movie, they were definitely more visually shocked than when I saw Avatar. In other respects, it was not comparable to any Hollywood movie. It is not appropriate to place hopes on the reformists as mediators of social conflicts, but Fritz Lang actually parables the conflict between the development of information technology and ethics, communist chaos, and mob politics will bring serious disasters to...

    Very awesome, Fritz Lang is definitely a genius. The current version is 1 hour and 58 minutes long and lacks a quarter of the original copy. It’s hard to imagine that it’s a 1927 work. The shots are awesome, the editing is awesome, the scenery is awesome, and it’s still very cult! It’s awesome and requires careful...

    Magnificent buildings are a good medicine to eliminate national inferiority complex. No one can lead a nation by empty words. He must build something that makes the people proud, that is, buildings that are visible and tangible. This is not to show off, it is to give a country its self-confidence. Our enemies and people must realize that our new building is to consolidate our new regime-Hitler. Germania, World Capital, World Utopia,...

    Because of the frame limit, it sometimes makes people feel as interesting as stop motion animation. Affected by the style of the stage play, the expression emperor (post) made a deep impression. Some fashion elements (like clothing design) are still not behind even if they are put now. Because of the influence of transcending time and space, various elements flash (scatter). The classic science fiction of the post-metropolitan...

    Too advanced! Many lens effects editing are very peculiar, and they are rarely used nowadays. I was surprised to see the scene of picking up silk scarves. The hero is like Xiao Li. . The heroine's eyes and eyebrows are too much like my bunk =...

    It is still shocking to look at today in 1927. Dystopia, avant-garde vision, science fiction art, humanistic consciousness, religious metaphor, all have the status of...

Metropolis quotes

  • 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...
