Metropolis Reviews

rating: 🤖🤖

could have been so much better if it wasn’t two and a half hours. too long for a silent film. the story was really good and the set was great but i couldn’t appreciate either cause it just went on and on and on

queueing this up alongside "the time machine" and "us" to explore the legacy of subterranian proletarians throughout history. that's a free film school thesis proposal, my gift to you

even tho i haven’t watched this, it looks a little ahead of it’s time which is good!

4/5⭐️

Another silent film classic that you have to watch if you want to dive into the world of cinema. The story is remarkably futuristic for a film made in 1927, yet its themes remain relevant today. The wealthy are the privileged ones, while the working class labors in the shadows and is subjected to mistreatment. The film suggests that both the rich and the workers can coexist in the same world without being divided. Manipulation also plays a very important role throughout the story.

In the distant future of 2024, a cabal of the rich and powerful use technology to manipulate, control and divide the poor and working class to act against their best interests. You know…science fiction.
3.5/5

This movie has influence many directors and Genres, you will be astonished by how this movie was filmed, if you dive into it’s history.
By the way the story is great as well: society Critique hundred years ago - and still no progress made!

Sulla carta è tutto cioʻ che voglio da un film del genere, dispotico, bianco e nero, tanti messaggi celati. Non so perchè ho fatto davvero fatica a guardarlo tutto d' un fiato, me lo aspettavo più ritmato malgrado gli anni, considerando il tema🤷‍♂️

Brilliant! Love the plot and I should have watched this next year(it’s 2025 rn) The visuals and predictions are great, would watch again…the end where the whole city is under attack had me going!!!

It was good for a silent film, but 2,5 hours was too long.

full disclosure i did watch on 1.75x speed cause Damn 2.5 hours of silence man but Wow pretty cool to watch one of the first sci-fi films (and watch it the year before it’s set to take place) Especially being able to watch the full reconstructed version w/ the lost 16mm and 35m

watched in film class and probably won’t watch again but if you love film and history worthy watching

German movie about the working class who manned the “Machine”.

THIS WAS SOOO GOOD

Sci-fi movies owe everything to Metropolis.

Like yeah 😙😙

Such a beautiful film!!

4,5/10

Just amazing

.

Massively influential and a true masterpiece of the silent era. Score is incredible, it had to be and it is. Story is relevant to today and the world building for a 20s film is insane. Fritz Lang is incredible and the distinct visual style is timeless. Wow
