Finally watched this Masterpiece last night. It's even better than I expected. Gonna watch it again this weekend. I'm sure I missed a few things the first time.
Wow I didn't know lady gaga stared in a movie 84 years ago. What, that's not lady gaga? Sure looks like her. Her suit isn't anywhere near as weird though. ;)
Great movie. Pay attention to the symbolism and you'll find it's possibly the greatest.
I saw this movie recently and was shocked at how awesome it is, and how influential it still is. For example, Bioshock is influenced a good bit by Atlas Shrugged, but perhaps even more so by this film, being that it has a similar message to Metropolis. Andrew Ryan could easily be Joh Fredersen. Anyone who enjoyed this film might enjoy the novel Bioshock: Rapture, even if you haven't played the game. I found a novelization of Metropolis that I'd like to read soon as well.
The only problem the fembot that the evil scientist creates is programmed to act without sexual or social dignity, so as to create the impression the the lower class working girl is less than reputable, once seen by the father's son he becomes perplexed that is perfect vision of his woman could be like this thus causing him to loose interest in the Mary vestal like woman. A devious plot to to keep his family away from lower classes.
Something to say in two parts, (pt1) why I would watch this film because it is about a father's dislike of his son's desire of a working class woman from the lower classes, the son lays eyes on her and at once he falls in love but as I said the son's father wants him to have no part of this lower class girl so he with is head of scientific research embarks upon a plan to make a synthetic woman who is identical in looks to the young woman the upper class son falls in love with.
Without this, Superman wouldn't have his city, Metropolis. The creators loved this movie so much that they decided to use the name for the city within Superman's world.
metropolis, 2001, alien and close encounters are my favourite sci-fi flicks. star wars, avatar and star trek can kiss my arse. they're too much like soap-operas
I saw this yesterday at the Sydney Opera House with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra it was mindblowing! It was all restored too! Absolutely fantastic! I cant believe it almost 90 years old! I'm definitely going to buy it on DVD.
This movie is seriously ahead of its time. Fritz Lang seriously envisioned the future. the laws of robotics weren't even invented yet(Isaac Asimov is like 7-8 when this was released). The scope of the film is EPIC: they had giant elevators, sky trains and even airplanes flying between buildings.The giant amount of actors as well! It doesn't even have SOUND!!! no sound = easy acting(impressionist acting is easier then modern day acting)? This kind of movie would only come out in year 3000.
And I thought Star Wars held up well for the past 34 years. It still does, but this... WOW! This movie is 84 years old and it still looks incredible. Haven't seen it YET, but I seriously want to see it when I get the chance.
This trailer PWN3D all Sci-Fi trailers. Fuck You James Cameron and your Avatar movie! In the next 100 years people will talk about this masterpiece but Avatar and Avatar 2 will be nothing but silly summer popcorn movies.
I recently discovered Metropolis. I learned about it thru the anime adaptation. Incredible piece of work. It was ahead of its time in terms of both art and the issue of unchecked corporate power.
for me this is like the best movie ever made i mean when the first time it came out it in theaters in 1927 it was so cool and futuristic looking and it does show of what technology that we going to have for the next few years of what we have today. this movie is beast
Though I think Mary Pickford may have been known through films since 1911 or 1912, something like that. Also, Chaplin and Douglas Fairbanks, whose careers all started up at the beginning of WWI or just prior to it
@rdrfan66: I can see how that A Trip to the Moon (1902) would be first sci-fi film - it was certainly influential and was the first film with a narrative. But it was a short, not a feature length film. You'd have had to wait until World War I to see The Birth of a Nation and other films run for more than an hour and feature big name stars. So in that context, Metropolis is "the" sci-fi feature that started it all, just as the talkies were about to break through
this movie's bad ass. but keep in mind that films like blade runner were based on books (do androids dream of electric sheep) that came out decades earlier.
matrix was ripped off from a black woman in the 80s. star wars wouldn't be here without the classic seven samurai. and space odyssey wasn't even about a neo-metropolitan society but more about general human innovation and space technology. but yes, metropolis is amazing; one of the films i wish i've seen
What ever happened to the extra footage found in Argentina two and a half years ago? Is that the Kino "Complete" version? This version is described as "25 extra minutes" but 3 extra reels were found and one reel of film is about 20 min. I want to see the whole movie uncut, but I don't want to waste my money on something that isn't what I believe it is. This is by far one of the best movies ever made and I've been a huge fan of this work.
@Jumamillion It's on Netflix right now, It's still missing two scenes ( the monk in the cathedral when Freder first goes there and when Maria escapes from Rotwang's) but the new footage is great. I am personally in love. Seeing the Thin Man in action was awesome.
@Jumamillion the kino complete version is the one that utilizes those new reels, though 2 scenes are still missing, and as far as we know, they don't exist. the kino is the closest.
@sarayton So did my father--in the 70's, I was watching a version on TV and my dad stopped and asked "what is that?". I told him and he said that my grandma took him to see it and he had nightmares for a week afterwards...this was in the original release, 1927, my dad was 7 yrs. old. It looks like the restored version is even more powerful, particularly the sequence whenthe false maria is revealed as the Whore of Babylon.
@CYMRUTUBE2 Yeah, there is- I just went over to Amazon and they have it. I'd provide a direct link for ya but Youtube seems to be cranky about allowing that. Grrr. Anyway, if you go to Amazon and type in "metropolis" and then look for the version released in 2010 that'll have all the additional footage. It looks like it's available on DVD and Bluray. Amazon is calling it "The Complete Metropolis" to differentiate it from the 2001 version that they *thought* was complete. :)
@CYMRUTUBE2 It's going to be on TCM this week- it's really worth watching! Their schedule says it'll be on at 8pm eastern time on Sunday, November 7th followed by "Metropolis Refound" which I imagine will be a documentary about the restoration process and how they found missing footage.
@CYMRUTUBE2 As terrible as remakes are these days?!? I would never wish a 'remake' on any old film that I love! I'm crossing my fingers that you are just kidding. :)
@Dgamer21 While C-3PO was, in fact, inspired by the robot Maria, The Wizard of Oz was written in 1900, before Metropolis was made, so the Tin Man was not inspired by the film.
@errolfan lol I might just have to do that and rip the audio when the Blu Ray comes out in November. I was just hoping that there might be an actual 2-disk soundtrack or something I could get, but hell I'll take it one way or another!
@jg2904 It's certainly an awesome score and the best-sounding silent movie I've ever sat through. I won't be surprised if a soundtrack becomes available after the re-re-release of Metropolis. Sorry about the cheapskate comment.
This movie is sooo awesome. I watched it and took some clips to make a small music video intro for my first song. I tried to make the song epic because the movie is sooo epic. If anybody's interested please just copy and paste:
ARKITECT - "TRIUMPHANT"
It's hip hop so I dont know if its anybodys taste but hopefully you guys like it and like how i used the clips from Metropolis
I love the beginning of this trailer: Before the Matrix (okay, so its some 80s movie) Before Blade Runner (alright, 70s) Before Star Wars (goddammit, 60s?) Before 2001: A Space Odyssey (Damn, 50s?) The film that started it all (Okay, okay, its 40s) "watches a few seconds" (Yeah, it has 40s-50s special FX) gets 0:36 in (HOLY SHIT!!!!! THIS IS FUCKING 1927!!!!!!!! DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
@errolfan It is incredibly amazing. I was referring to the guys quote about how advanced the movie was for its time. I dont like to cuss so in quoting him thtats why i put the signs and stuff haha it was his last line. By the way have you checked out my video TRIUMPHANT? If you like it or not, thats okay. Id say its worth watching the intro lol
@ASuperGa Yeah, but tamsWTFvideos is talking about before blade runner, which was made in the 80',s so the 70's, and 2001 would be 50's, a decade before the 60's. Get it?
@twotonguestalking713 I'm fully aware; the idea was that since it said something like, "BEFORE the Matrix" then I would assume whatever movie they're talking about came out in the prior decade.
@tamsWTFvideos The Matrix was released in 1999, Blade runner came out 1982, Star Wars came out in 1977, 2001: A Space Odyssey was released in 1968, and the only one you got right was Metropolis which indeed came out in 1927.
I saw this is SF recently with a live orchestra and it was even better than expected--and my expectations were high. The new orchestral score, which will be included as an alternative track is highly percusive and as good as the original score. I am eager to see the Blue-Ray DVD in November!
I've long meant to see this movie, but just seeing this trailer here, those special effects are rather impressive. On a side note, thank goodness George Lucas wasn't the original director of it. :)
@AlonzoTheArmless Yes,but it seems to me that the audio was much better a couple of years ago. I don't know why we do it, but somehow if it can be done cheaper, faster, with a little less content, that's the way to go, nowadays. Digital audio recording can be state of the art or garbage. Just like DVD recorders with video, the faster you record, the less you actually capture.
@gunnare123 Only time will tell. I haven't seen Avatar, but if it generates this much controversy after 80+ years, I'm sure it will have been a success.
im 19 and personally i HATE CGI there are very few movies that use it right. James Cameron does but tbh i found avater to be fucking boring i watch a movie to be entertained not to go "oooh lookat the graphics!!!"
1 of my fav movies is the Omegaman and it has shit effects b ut its an awesome movie lol

I love the beginning of this trailer: Before the Matrix (okay, so its some 80s movie) Before Blade Runner (alright, 70s) Before Star Wars (goddammit, 60s?) Before 2001: A Space Odyssey (Damn, 50s?) The film that started it all (Okay, okay, its 40s) "watches a few seconds" (Yeah, it has 40s-50s special FX) gets 0:36 in (HOLY SHIT!!!!! THIS IS FUCKING 1927!!!!!!!! DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

@mjtrotte86 Isn't it amazing that the world ever existed before you were born. And why swear about it?

@errolfan It is incredibly amazing. I was referring to the guys quote about how advanced the movie was for its time. I dont like to cuss so in quoting him thtats why i put the signs and stuff haha it was his last line. By the way have you checked out my video TRIUMPHANT? If you like it or not, thats okay. Id say its worth watching the intro lol

@dennykdoe Err, the idea was that since it said "before the Matrix", I assumed it came out in the prior decade. Same with the others.

@dennykdoe He meant that if the Matrix was a 90's film, Metropolis could have been an 80's movie and it just continues on down.

@ASuperGa That's what was said :p
pinkirishgoatz 10 months ago
@ASuperGa Yeah, but tamsWTFvideos is talking about before blade runner, which was made in the 80',s so the 70's, and 2001 would be 50's, a decade before the 60's. Get it?

@tamsWTFvideos agreed, but your a decade behind in mentioning each film

@twotonguestalking713 I'm fully aware; the idea was that since it said something like, "BEFORE the Matrix" then I would assume whatever movie they're talking about came out in the prior decade.

@tamsWTFvideos The Matrix was released in 1999, Blade runner came out 1982, Star Wars came out in 1977, 2001: A Space Odyssey was released in 1968, and the only one you got right was Metropolis which indeed came out in 1927.

I saw this is SF recently with a live orchestra and it was even better than expected--and my expectations were high. The new orchestral score, which will be included as an alternative track is highly percusive and as good as the original score. I am eager to see the Blue-Ray DVD in November!

I've long meant to see this movie, but just seeing this trailer here, those special effects are rather impressive. On a side note, thank goodness George Lucas wasn't the original director of it. :)

The best trailer this movie ever had.

@AlonzoTheArmless Yes,but it seems to me that the audio was much better a couple of years ago. I don't know why we do it, but somehow if it can be done cheaper, faster, with a little less content, that's the way to go, nowadays. Digital audio recording can be state of the art or garbage. Just like DVD recorders with video, the faster you record, the less you actually capture.

Look up the word "Visionary" in the dictionary,and you'll read a description about Fritz Lang.

This movie, by far, is the scarriest film I have ever seen - Horror movies try to be scarry, this movie is absolutely frightening...

an absolutely remarkable film, FILM is the key word. Even today, nothing comes quite close. It even beats that CGI mess Avatar.

@gunnare123 Only time will tell. I haven't seen Avatar, but if it generates this much controversy after 80+ years, I'm sure it will have been a success.
