Metropolis

ALMOST 100 YEARS LATER...METROPOLIS STILL HAS A LOT TO SAY. What an insane movie this was. It tells a story of how machines can misguide if followed. Of how social division will only sow chaos. Of how, despite it all, the heart can win. Metropolis is a beautiful film that as if 2027 will be 100 years old and I truly don't know if we could make anything like it today. Metropolis is a raygun gothic treat for the eyes with giant sets so intricately designed you'd truly think you were in the heart of a city. The films narrative was shockingly sharp also, it does a pretty good job focusing though there were times I found myself a bit distracted and with a headache forming but this is a movie we simply can't make today. We dont have it in us and I encourage all to watch it! Also, lowkey there was more romantic tension between Freder and Josephat then Freder and Maria and I do wish I could become more invested in the relationship between them but perhaps it is unfair of me to expect so from a silent film but their love felt somewhat forced. The mediator between the mind and the hand, is the heart. Where are they?! Where are your mothers and fathers! Where is my son?! > Tomorrow, thousands will ask in fury and desperation: Joh Fredersen, where is my son!
