Strong subjective impression...I'm a little rookie.

An incomplete dystopian fable, but a future conception + religious metaphor is still enough to create an excellent viewing experience. The performance of the two-city structure is quite magnificent, and it is really remarkable to be able to make such an effect nearly a hundred years ago. The ideology is reformist. Metropolis is the Tower of Babel and Babylon that did not completely collapse, Mary is the Christ who escaped capture, and Hull is the demonized rebel. Fritz Lang sharply saw the wealth gap and class contradictions that existed in the society at that time, and even saw the fragility and ethical problems of civilization caused by science and technology, which is rare. But in terms of solutions, he naively believed that it could be coordinated and improved through moral or peaceful means. The film ends with a handshake between the head of labor and the ruler. It seems that the two sides reached a settlement through Fred as an intermediary, but what about after the settlement? The fundamental contradiction between the two sides has not actually been resolved. The prophecy of the Book of Revelation will come again. The so-called "the coordinator of the hands and the brain must be the heart" is just the wishful thinking of the vested interests.

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 resisting will only bring disorder and chaos. The solution is the sympathy and religion of the upper level. Hand and Brain Regulator Idealism is a dramatic compromise. Build a dystopian world with a utopian vision. Yet the Tower of Babel will never be built. Class contradictions will never be closed.
