@ebv1....compared to what? Today's overused, over rated CGI effects? Give me a break! Todays movies look so fake compared to something like this, which was so far ahead of it's time that it really doesn't look all that dated. Considering this was 1927 it's actually pretty mind blowing......especially the epicness of the city itself!
Fritz Lang en avance sur son temps,James Cameron aussi vous le verrez dans la nouvelle version de Blade Runner et il n'y aura pas de Decker! Ce sera plus fort comme message tout comme Fritz Lang la fait!
In my opinion, we can't compare a movie like metropolis, wich is very old, and a blockbuster like AVATAR. Moreover, this movie was really impressive in 1927 when he was created, and even if now it looks boring for some people, I think that those two movies are impossibles to compare.
watched it today. Metropolis took its fame from visual aspects and i had no real expactations facing the rest- just that 'i-don't-want-expect-too-much-from-legendary-movie' atitude. but it got me from the very beginning. yeah, story & acting can be cheesy sometimes. however, the climate of Metro is so gripping, intense, you will not care about the rest of the world for film's length...that marks great movies.
and this little gem is even better than being great. Distinguished legend.
I know they used miniatures and stop motion for the city scenes, but I still wonder how they made the airplanes fly. It doesn't look like there are any wires at all.
I think that Avatar is making billions of dollars just because James Cameron hit the right spot by making a movie about the true human nature, to destroy everything thing that lives, to plunder and exploiting resources (oil,coal,gas...). That's why the whole world talks about it, it's the movie about us, how we keep destroying our planet that gave us life (in the movie the Pandora is another Earth). Without this, it's just another movie with lots of FX effects.
The fact that Avatar comes up so often, to me, seems to vindicate it. As long as people talk about it, it'll be relevant. I'm not saying it's the best movie of all time, but it was clearly a massive achievement. Say what you want about it's message - though I think it has a worthwhile one - Avatar is comparable to Metropolis in its technical innovation and scale.
The most beautiful scene and memory is the reincarnation of the Mythical Tower of Babel. How little we learn from the lessons of the past, this movies rings true to the path that humanity has embarked. Must we forget that we are only human.
If you get the chance, go see the restoration. It has all but two scenes, making it the most complete version of Metropolis ever seen since the film's premier. All the subplots are put back in. Except for the newly found footage, the images are just as clear as they were in 1927.
I actually find these effects really good even by todays standards. Nothing seems corny or even dated. It's stylistically beautiful and executed really well.
Avatar isn't made to be an in depth view of the human race. It's a swashbuckling adventure movie for crying out loud and it's one of the greatest of it's type. And this film...It is THE best of it's type.
Avatar isn't made to be an in depth view of the human race. It has it's comments and it's messages about our world but not to extremely great lengths and that's obviously what they wanted. It's a swashbuckling adventure movie for crying out loud and it's one of the greatest of it's type. And this film...It is THE best of it's type.
@fcac20 For your information don't worry,i'm a fan of both FL & JC, so! James Cameron work on Blade Runner the newest version and the message will be deeper than Avatar!
now i understand why Michael Jackson had wearing one glow , and why Beyonce is wearing mechanical hand in one of her videoclip. Because this mad cientist had one too.

@oldinfant23 You can buy from amazon. com if it is possible for you. Or you can download a torrent but that is not totally legal. However it is a 83 years old film and the American copyright had lapsed in 1953 but "restored" in 1998. The F. W. Murnau Foundation owns the copyrights so it may not be a huge crime to download it, they may authorize if you ask them.
I just saw M and must say that this man was so ahead of his time! By today's standards the special effects are not impressive. But if you step back and consider he did this in the 30s and onward, you have to take your hat off to the man. Just amazing.
I just finished watching the 2010 recontruction version (2h30 length) on TV. The music was the same, so it is THE ORIGINAL SCORE of '27 by Gottfried Huppertz.
