Hitler's favorite as Espressionismo Caligari, asymmetrical lines, strong contrasts of light and dark, blurred silhouettes and black human silhouettes in many scenes - especially in the laboratory of the mad inventor Or in the crypts where the workers gather, one by one alludes to the mysterious and threatening role of movements, events and emotions. As the builder of the future German metropolis, Rotwanger's old gray and black buildings with a slanted top due to asymmetrical lines give the impression of being slanted, and the towering and neatly arranged white buildings of the 21st century German metropolis The clash of shapes is another particularly striking example. The sci-fi form expresses the crisis of the future world as the lose-lose and end of the class struggle. Real Mary, Robot Mary, Rotwan, Fred, and Fredson are conceptual incarnations, Mary represents humanity, Robot Mary and Rotwan are the negative effects of science, Fred is the goodness of capitalism, Frey Desen is the evil of capitalism. The worker group is a common social group and scene. The peak is really unattainable.

    It is unimaginable that such a grand film could be made in 1927. One of Fritz Lang's expressionist masterpieces. Strong chiaroscuro, disturbing horror close-ups, parallel montages and other elements directly influenced later horror films and film noirs. The forward-looking idea of ​​man-machine integration has been repeatedly cited in many subsequent sci-fi movies. The architectural design in Metropolis is very postmodern and surreal.

    MOMA Rooftop, restored version, live soundtrack by Shanshui Records. Electronic music brings a sense of the future of the moment, a strange and unusual form that associates the highly developed, abstract industrial-class society with the electronic age. Electronic music is depersonalized, but integrated. It amplifies the effect in emotional scenes and becomes unstable in dialogue. Needless to say, the greatness of the film itself, the people will always be blind and hot.
