Metropolis - 10 MINUTE Promo - Fritz Lang

Back




This has to be the masterpiece of film making - Fritz Lang's Metropolis was made in 1927 - incredibly he was using some of the earliest techniques in special effects for movies - mirroring, superimposing etc, even the robot looks like something out of Star Wars.

The film was originally panned by the critics, it wasn't a commercial success in its day.

As it was made in 1927, Metropolis was a silent movie, so various music scores have been written over the years more recently by Giorgio Moroder....however the soundtrack i've used on this clip is by Quivver aka John Graham

The Film has recently been remastered for dvd sale.

I want to watch this movie SO BADLY, but I have retrophoboia (fear of old things). But... I think I'm going to be a masochist and watch it! XD

It's very good, but very very long, nevermind the begining is very boring--but don't fear it get's good!!

Two hours is long to you. Why some films out there last as long as five and a half hours, take 1900 as an example.

burninbushmen : The messsage was meant to be scary- this was the 1920s, and the horse and cart days were just ending. Many were fightened of the emergence of the machine and scientific marvels. There was the fear ( just as today) of machines replacing someone at work, or the fear of one being subserviant to a machine, thus almost becoming one. Did you notice the mechanical movements of the workers? No such thing as ergonomics back then! The robot literally takes Maria's essence, if not her soul.

pacata mentality so that you have closed and the Americans, everything that is not a Yankee and condemn what they see as if it were lower.
Had it not been for these classic films of today would not exist today as we see it.
You have to see if he liked Hitler? she liked a lot of other people besides Hitler.
