Robot punk, reels, pistons, steam. Unlike the mechanical worship of the Soviet Union, the people here are also similar to machines and are not endowed with feelings. Under the sun, is another world. I thought it would be a story similar to "Brave New World", but it turned out to be an elite...

metropolis

It's hard to believe that this is a movie from 1927. The metropolis, dungeons, machine shops, robots it envisions are still reasonable even in the 21st century. This is the charm of science fiction, grasping a development direction, and then boldly envisioning the future. The process of...

One theme is the conflict between capitalists (city brains) and workers (city builders).

Capitalists enjoy the fruits of their labor, with convenient transportation and bright lights throughout the city. Among them, Evergarden and Yoshihara Club are the epitome of their enjoyment. Workers work in...

I saw this film at a small movie viewing event. When I saw the movie introduction, I briefly understood the outline of the story, because it was a black and white silent film, so I was afraid that I could not understand it.

The film was released in 1927, and the Nanchang Uprising broke out. It is hard to imagine that two events belonged to the same time.

It's hard to imagine that a 1927 movie could be made like this!

The level of technology in the entire 20th century can also beat most of the films. Not only are the editing, soundtracks, shots, special effects, and costumes excellent, but the novel and profound connotations of the script have not...

Jon Fryderson represents the ruling class or the bourgeoisie, the brain, and without his wisdom, a prosperous metropolis cannot be built with the brute force of the workers alone. Workers represent the working class, and without their workforce, no brainer, no great idea can come true. If class...

An individual who has been involved in group action for a long time enters a special state similar to being hypnotized, and he is no longer able to be conscious of his actions. - "The Crowd" Le Pen

Today, I watched "Metropolis" 93 years ago. The amount of information is very large, but the director...

It can be regarded as a representative work of dystopian movies, but the core thing is not dystopian at all, and the final ending fully exposes the author's original intention to maintain the harmony of the capitalist system - in fact, it has been paving the way throughout the plot: The Tower of...
