The violent revolution in the mechanical age, the human choice of the religious system, the sobering doomsday prophecy. Thrilling grand scenes, how many sci-fi movies benefited from the imagination Fritz Lang played. The mediator between the brain and the hand is the...

Watching German expressionist films today is absurd and horrifying, but when I think of the film's early exploration in 1927, the director had such an amazing imagination, it's really a magical film. Apart from the exaggerated stage beauty and performance, the thinking about the mechanical life of the future industrial society and the loss of human nature really crosses the times. You can find the predecessors of many of today's film techniques in it, and the classics should be like...

145 points version. It is not difficult to have unrealistic "fantasies", but turning "fantasies" into reality requires not only courage and wisdom, but also technology. Now it seems a little cliché of justice over evil, the ruling class and the working class shaking hands with each other, and the happy ending of sweet love, especially the main theme. However, this does not affect the black and white silent film as radiant as its...

150-minute restoration version; the limitations brought about by the technology of the era cannot be reconciled, and sometimes it is boring. The coordinator between the brain and the hands must be the heart, that's right. Fantasy and whimsy, the towering towering towers make people wander into the sky. The actor's expression is magnified in black and white, and it is full of supernatural power, but it is only slightly exaggerated. The main point is beyond reproach. There are indeed other ways...

marvelous! A 1927 movie actually made me watch so engrossed! The rhythm is lively, the conflict is intense, it is really a good movie! The part showing the structure of the metropolis also shocked me. I didn't expect the first half of the movie to contain love elements. BTW, the acting of the heroine as a robot is really amazing! The last scene, "The Mediator of Mind and Hands," was very moving. ps. The theme song is...

Look at the 150m version. Serious class division. The Seven Deadly Sins of the Bible, Revelation, Noah's Ark. The sci-fi elements are very advanced, the underground traffic is crowded, the high multiple overpasses, the planes, the architectural styles are diverse, modern, and artificial intelligence. The heroine did a great job! Good as the Virgin, evil as ghosts. This film is now, no matter how it won the best picture, director, script, and actress award. The visual and sound effects were also...

Fortunate to see the most complete version in nearly ninety years. There is not much to say about the place that is ahead of time, and too many movies in later generations are imitating it. In terms of plot, it is difficult for me to accept the instant disintegration of class contradictions. It should be made into a tragedy: the savior was brutally executed, the working class is not worthy of sympathy, and the disillusionment of the second generation in power is more cruel than a generation to...

2K repair 150min version. Religious culture is involved in class struggle. Father is God, making robots to prevent underground workers from building the "Tower of Babel"; robots symbolize Babylonian prostitutes and die at the stake. Oedipus Complex: A son rebels against his patriarchy and falls in love with a woman who looks like his mother. Best interlude, +1 to the surreal nightmare image after the birth of the evil Maria. The future urban scene has become the inspiration for the creation of...

Very talented. However, I really don't understand if the big boss is out of his mind and let the robot incite everyone to destroy his machine? Is it just for the water flooding workers' residential area? ~~The heroine loves to grab her left breast and preach about peace. She is very mindless, but the robot sister is very handsome~~ If there is no riot she has set up, the capitalists will not have the opportunity to bow their...

On the surface, this is an epic silent film full of imagination, with a grand story and characters, gorgeous and meticulous to perverted scene design, and the crazy group play from the second act, all shocking, I will probably never forget that artificial turntable. In a deep sense, this film also breaks through the limitations of dystopian films. It does not stop at the surface of overthrowing tyranny, but goes deep into the discussion of the argument of class coexistence, and even combines it...
