Pre-World War II Cinema, Combination of Imaginative Art

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 is performed by the "Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra". It is a real symphony orchestra playing at any time in Germany. It can be seen how powerful the national quality of the whole country is! I didn't feel tired of the movie for more than two hours. I didn't understand why it was related to the original sin before... I don't think it has much to do with it, but the most classic line in it is "The coordinator of the hand and the brain must be the heart", So before I thought why there is no "blindness and ignorance" in the Seven Sins... Maybe I understand!

At that time, because of the circle of friends, I cut a few classics:

The expressions of these people are simply gone?

This picture is also quite profound, have you found a little bit of yourself on the way...

    The 153-minute restored version is a great movie. The dystopian concept is very good. It also created several typical characters and became the source of many movie characters in the future. It is just that the class tone of "hands and brains need hearts to reconcile" is a bit of a nostalgia. At that time, the sci-fi imagination of the future, the techniques used and the effects presented were all shocking.

    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 superb for that era.
