In the early days of film, due to the limitations of film sound technology, most films before the 1830s had images without dialogue and sound effects, which is often referred to as silent films. When it comes to silent movies, the first thing people think of is Chaplin's black and white comedy. It...

It is no exaggeration to say that this movie is a masterpiece. The conception is very grand and peculiar, and it has its own world view. I was amazed by the various effects. And quite religious. But I can't accept such a pompous performance. When I watched Singing in the Rain, I knew that silent...

[Meteopolis#1927] This is a masterpiece that you can see symbols from future sci-fi films one after another. Whether it is [Batman], [Blade Runner], [Fifth Element] in terms of architecture, [Star Wars] [Ultraman] in terms of robot setting, [Seven Deadly Sins] [Eight and a Half] [Escape from...

Science fiction movies can make people dream come true, but also make people nightmare again and again.

Returning to the source of sci-fi movies, Metropolis, the first sci-fi movie in history, breeds bottomless despair.

This great work born in 1927, directed by the famous German director Fritz Lang,...

I was not so politically minded in those days as I am now. You cannot make a social-conscious picture in which you say that the intermediary between the hand and the brain is the heart--I mean that's a fairy tale--definitely. But I was very interested in machines. . . . Anyway I didn't like the...

This is probably the weirdest black and white movie I've ever seen.

It may also be that I don't watch much, especially silent films.

The exaggerated expressions and body language of the characters in the film impressed me a lot, especially when there is a conflict in the plot, the development is not...

The food for the soul can't be broken... "Metropolis" was a silent film in 1927, before World War II... At that time, Hollywood was just a wasteland and German films were already highly developed. The combination of imagination and art was definitely a blockbuster at that time! The background music...

Landmark movie.

It is said on the Internet that the story in the film is set in 2026 after the filming is completed, but after looking at it, there is no specific time specified in the film. That's how the title was taken first.

Every time I watch a sci-fi movie, I pay special attention to the...

Beautiful lady!

At the beginning, I was only attracted by the way of expression, and felt that the editing and visual presentation of the film were very avant-garde and post-modern. Later, when the son of a capitalist asked, "Why is my father's ten-hour work so long?" was caught by the plot!...

Is this probably the slapstick acting that a mime should have? I feel that only the heroine's contrasting acting skills are amazing, especially the dance, which is really amazing.

The so-called seven deadly sins, biblical metaphors, and Oedipal tragedy, looking back now, isn't that a bad street? As...
