1. In 1927, German filmmakers built such a fraudulent metropolitan scene. After 90 years, it is highly consistent and avant-garde with the current metropolis;
2. The proletariat lives in underground cities, and the rich enjoy a luxurious life on the ground. Seeing this setting, you will not be surprised by some sci-fi works and movies of later generations;
3. In the 1920s, the proletariat movement was rising all over the world, and violent movements were frequent, and the director pointed out the reasons for it;
4. In the director's vision, the class contradictions of the proletariat and capitalism can be coordinated, but they can never be integrated, so the film has the image of "coordinator";
5. The film was blocked by the German authorities as soon as it was produced. The 210-minute full version has not been restored yet, and the 10-year restored version with a quarter of the length was lost;
6. A few years after the film was released, the Nazis in Germany came to power and the whole people rioted. Thinking about it carefully, it's really ironic.
