A superb blu-ray edition of Metropolis is out, including recently discovered lost footage. This movie is a masterpiece depicting the primitiveness of wild capitalism.
@MrSengor Oh, how the Left loves to blame anything but itself (witness Obama). Metropolis depicts totalitarianism, the Final Solution when the soft Left-Liberal batass crazy ideas don't work out again. Please! Go all the way and blame the Soviet Union, where Lenin and Stalin murdered the "statistic" of 50+ million human souls, on capitalism too. Go for it!
@greengringo2003 I am not a leftist. I am just opposing any kind of totalitarianism, either communist or capitalist. After your comment I checked what political view Lang wanted to show on imdb. You are right. I admit that I misinterpreted the movie's original intent, shouldn't have posted here without checking. But it's strange that if you don't read about it's historical background (like me), you can easily view it as a criticism of exploitation of the lower class in today's terms also.
@MrSengor Fair enough! One's viewpoint, i.e. pre-existing filters, that we all carry around between our ears, can cause us to see what we want to see. Squeeze an orange, and (most of the time!) orange juice seeps out. Humans have a wonderful capacity to put one over on themselves; wishful thinking and all that. Those are general comments, not necessarily describing your previous comment. BTW, in many (now past) years in a (capitalist) corporation, I did see plenty of dictatorial behavior.
Many of the scenes in this montage are taken from Fritz Lang's film Metropolis (with surprisingly good quality, Sir Riehl). That was a 1927 German sci-fi film about the future. It's funny about popular entertainment and it's portrayal of social movements. The Jazz Age (flappers), Beatniks, Hippies. The pop entertainment industry has always sought to package and sell them.
One nifty keen humdinger! Check out the swell gams on these hip-to-the-jive blottoed dolls zozzled on bootleg and hop. It's the bees knees, ...and how! :]
