A masterpiece that is not suitable for public viewing but needs to be popularized

⬜️The dune fry is hot recently? Let me turn over the Metropolis and read it again. Finally, I sorted out the little knowledge that I found interesting about this work, a total of three pages. Looking forward to discussing with more people~

⬜️Actually, it’s quite interesting to watch mime in this era~ Exaggerated body movements, repeated facial expressions in close-up scenes, and the same lines as the announcement, these are more protracted and tedious in today’s fast-paced life. But this kind of emotional expression is purer and more personal. If all commercial blockbusters are removed from the special effects, the BGM, and the scenery, what will be left? Maybe only the enthusiasm of fans is left ❤️

⬜️In addition, I would like to share a little gossip about the original work and the director.

The director and the writer are a couple? They were both married before they actually met~ They didn't officially marry until 1922, after the mysterious death of Lang's first wife. The screenwriter's name is Habu, a Bavarian noble genius girl. After the two got married, they wandered outside each other, and the romantic stories continued. Harb joined the Nazi party and then formally divorced Lang.

    It is still shocking to look at today in 1927. Dystopia, avant-garde vision, science fiction art, humanistic consciousness, religious metaphor, all have the status of milestones.

    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 perfectly with religion.
