The grandfather of all science fiction film and the culmination of German Expressionism in cinema. This remarkable achievement is a visually stunning watershed that has been unfairly cast as cold and emotionless, when nothing could be further from the truth. One of my all-time f...( read more)
A brilliant film that has withstood the test of time. Even the special effects are good!
wow!!!... increíble lo que hicieron hace 80 años... desde la manera en cómo nos presentan los créditos iniciales, hasta la bella banda sonora... lo mejor del siglo pasado sin duda...
this may be my favorite s/f flic of all time. read the book and saw the film.hard to find but well worth the time. just think what fritz lang could have done with today's tech.
O pesadelo sonhado.
A história se passa no ano de 2026, exatamente um século depois do lançamento do filme, de 1926. O mundo de Metropolis, a futurística e aterradora cidade do título, é frio, mecânico e industrial. A descrição reflete o imaginário característico da época, qua...( read more)
A thousand times better than the average modern Hollywood blockbuster, this 80yo film is atmospheric, intelligent, imaginitive, beautiful to look at, and, well... just so cool!
This is, in my opinion, the true beginning of the modern Science Fiction genre.
See this with a live orchestra, specifically the Alloy Orchestra. You may have to travel, but it's worth it. Great movie, better live.
4 the sci-fi enthusiasts, very impressive but im not 1 of them so i wuld say 'yea ok'
Wow, pretty neat. Really evident why this is such a landmark film. Basic story of opressed masses, greedy fat cats and people trying to exploit sentiment and twist a movement to their own ends, winding up in a cataclysm of their own making.
This is what I mean when I say five stars!!! Fritz Lang was like ONE HUNDRED YEARS ahead of his time!!!
This, my freinds, is where film truly took flight. See it now and be blown away.
Silent era films tend not to factor much into the lives of today's modern cinephile, since they lack the subtly and realism that has now become standard. In saying this, Fritz Lang's Metropolis is still one of the all time great epics, not only of the silent age, but of cinema hi...( read more)
I haven't seen the restored version but I know that this film has a take on post-industrial capitalism. Way ahead of its time.
Notre histoire humaine avec le capitalisme represente bien ce film. Et c'est toujours present de nos jour.
Quite possibly the first science fiction movie ever made. It's wierd, but awesome.
I need to see this again, because last time I saw it I was six. I just remember it made an impression on me.
This is one of the greatest films ever made. Do yourself a favour and see the restored authorized edition though, or else you are just wasting your time. Oh and Brgitte Helm is gorgeous in and out of the Futura suit. This is when robots became sexy...
Very interesting step in film making! Think of the android as C3-P0's great great aunt.
