Journey to the Moon is the first sci-fi movie in the history of sci-fi movies. It can be seen that because of the time science problem, the astronomy at that time still stayed on the geocentric theory. And it also overestimates gravity. As a result, a science fiction story that is now completely unimaginable has been created.
And the Metropolis was released in 1927. Why did the Metropolis, which was still a black and white movie at that time, become a classic work of science fiction movies with huge special effects?
The reason is that the later sci-fi movies have the shadow of the Metropolis and the expressionism of the Metropolis itself,
and I don't need to pick up on these. I mainly talk about my own views and
why I think they are classics, because the Metropolis has a special kind of sci-fi movie mode.
Metropolis is a sci-fi movie that incorporates philosophical propositions from sci-fi.
Metropolis first created a world with a highly technological background. From that world, put forward the philosophical proposition between man and machine. The world is simply divided into the rich with wisdom and the poor with labor. In a world like the 28 rule, 80% of people work for 20% of people, and 20% of people hold 80% of the world's wealth.
Poor people have to work in front of machines, no poor people will think about why I work here. I remember a picture of that giant machine that was turned into a hell-linked machine because of some hype misstep, and the living beings were lost because of this machine.
But the movie is thinking, labor and wisdom need to be connected and reconciled with heart.
As a result, the metropolis must create a cold world, just like the current part of science fiction creates an unreasonable and unfair world first. And then through the hero's encounter to change this unreasonable world.
With the help of the name of science fiction movies, Metropolis can logically create an irrational world, throw out philosophical propositions, and finally solve it.
This is a sci-fi movie business model created by Metropolis.
And the game between the two forces increases the watchability of the movie. After all, for some people to watch some sci-fi movies, they need to have scientific knowledge. And such a model reduces the knowledge of science, allowing more people who are not good at mathematics, physics and chemistry to come into contact with science fiction movies.
