  • en el 2026 aun habra maquinas de escribir ?

  • a true work of art

  • 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.

  • I absolutely ADORE this movie. I have a copy in my collection, as well as a soundtrack. Just incredibly fabulous. I never tire of watching it.

  • please don't ever remake this movie you would screw the fuck out of it

  • Comment removed

  • 6 people were sent to depths by Joh.

  • it would be cool to see this with a great soundtrack.

  • 2:11 - Katy Perry?

  • This movie looks super creepy.

  • 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.

  • @Skull666Bones watching million times and you say this is a shit? what do you expect from this?

  • No remakes for this masterpiece, please. 

  • @mauriziodilacartes george lucas could at least make a prequel ;D

  • @mauriziodilacartes Too late, u know the 2001 anime?

  • They should make an exact remake of this movie.

  • 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 love german philosopy-art it is supreme to the rest cultures..

  • illuminate huh? what's all dat about?

  • Metropolis took 310 days and 60 nights to film, employed 36,000 extras, and used 25,000 special effects!

  • 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.

  • There are no illuminati. This is science fiction.

  • ITS ILLUMINATI TRASH!

  • Something makes me feel this is a fan trailer.

  • i just first saw this in encarta..this is so great!!

  • how did they make all those effects at that time?

  • @ChartheShark

    They were drawn onto the film, which must of been incredibly hard to do.

  • 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.

  • for a movie from 1927 this was very well made.

  • Would this movie be any different with sound?

  • Never saw this before. This is fricking amazing when you consider this was produced in 1927? Fritz Lang was a genius!

  • express yourself madonna

    me muero por ver la pelicula

  • 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.

  • @etiscool1 Amen brother

    what a masterpiece

  • Woah. I want to see this. I need to.

  • it reminds me of fantasia

  • @Death2Fanboys Lol Avatar is already a silly popcorn movie :) Transformers and Battle LA are nothing compared to this immortal classic.

  • @Death2Fanboys hater...

  • @Death2Fanboys I don't know about "silly" it's the highest grossing film of all-time.

  • @Death2Fanboys  not enough opposable digits, and not enough people deserving them!

  • @Death2Fanboys...and fangirls 

  • @Death2Fanboys

    Giving hate speaches on modern movies isn't going to make you look intelligent dude.

  • @Death2Fanboys

    I absolutely agree...

  • @Death2Fanboys You know, it is possible to enjoy both Metropolis AND Avatar. 

  • Welcome to Rapture! :D

  • 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.

  • Is the movie as good as they say?

  • What's the name of this music?

  • @WizardOfHumor1989 Metropolis original Score (Soundtrack by Gottfried Huppertz)

  • 2.08 Baphomet!

  • @deansgirl333 Read the description. -___-

  • stop it at 1:08.... It's beautiful!

  • People, go watch it in a movie theater, no small screen can do this film justice!

  • I really like the soundtrack. :)

  • this trailer scares me, especially death in person. can someone explain me what this movie is about, i don`t understand silent movies.

  • @deansgirl333 watch it and find out. 

  • Fredersen = Grand Moff Tarkin.

    Machine Man = Threepio.

    Also notice the similarities with THX-1138 - specifically the scene where Freder is climbing a ladder up through a wide-open shaft.

  • 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

  • hum...a film that is black and white, silent, and with pretty creepy actors...this film would probably scare the crap outta me. =)

  • Phew!....Man....that gave me goosebumps.

  • 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

  • @rubefilm08071 not necessarily. the first feature length film was the story of the kelly gang from 1906, a few years before WWI.

  • I just watched it on the web and it's amazing!!!I kept telling myself ,this is good,this is good it's really really good :)

    Don't watched the full version on youtube it's an old version all dirty and the quality is not great.A must see for any science fiction fan!!

  • The Moroder version is the best.

  • @sbhathena Razzie: Worst song. Runtime: 80 minutes (original runtime: 150+ minutes)

    Yep, I'm sure it's the best version.

  • Was that the also the original Megamind???

  • the year 2027 will mabye look like in Metropolis

  • @Michael1Jackson11 2027? not that soon buddy, probably 2040 

  • @gunnare123 What do you expect?

    This film was ahead of it's time by thirty years or so. Both visually and thematically.

    Avatar, on the other hand, is not.

  • Wow, those models are pretty damn impressive. I think I need to see this....

  • 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

    in theatres at original release.

  • i love cyberpunk films.

  • I have the movie poster hanging in my bedroom!

  • @cerebraldude812 Same here!

  • I randomly return to watch this trailer so I can once again experience those goosebumps!

  • wATCH cUBE  dESTINATION

  • so cool!

  • Terrific trailer...

    Ms. Helm is amazing. And the film quality is glorious here.

  • I first saw this film in high school in 1989. Precisely the same time Madonna

    came out with her smash hit Express Yourself.

    How ironic is the timing of my introduction to perhaps

    THE MOST IMPORTANT FILM of ALL TIME.

  • Some one needs to color this movie... i suggest the use of crayons. jeje btw great movie

  • 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.

  • Umm not to cause a debate, it says "the film that started it all" it's untrue, a trip to the moon was the first scifi

  • @rdrfan66 i think they're referring to the most influential

  • Saw the newly restored version on TCM, and fell in love with this movie, and Brigette Helm, who is just stunningly beautiful.

  • acording to this trailer we are in 2027...

  • this movie looks pretty damn amazing

  • Best Trailer EVER!

  • 1927 is when Fritz Lang predicted the future quite accurately.

  • love the soundtrack!

  • I remember getting nightmares about this when I was a kid...

  • @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.

  • I love this film. liked Giorgio Moroder one from the 80's too, but nothing like the original version. still is one of my favorite films of all time.

  • I just saw this new restoration version on TCM, I am going to buy the DVD, absolute classic movie.

  • maria = lady gaga

  • @ramirezjoseph i agree

  • hitler, estaline, mao watch this movie XD

  • The editing job from hell here!

    The natives are impressed!

    I've been watching various iterations of this film since I was literally a child.

    Bloody amazing!

  • @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. :)

  • Such a brilliant film, so glad it's finally got a good restoration.

  • the robot is an obvious inspiration for c-3po in star wars, as well as the tin man from wizard of oz.

  • @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.

  • @JPnintendofan Sorry, I think you misunderstood. I'm saying that the tin man and the robot Maria are both inspirations for c-3po

  • @Dgamer21 Oops! My mistake.

  • @JPnintendofan no it's my fault, I just didn't type it properly.

  • Does anybody know where I can get this original 1927 score? I love the music, but I can't even tell if it's ever been released!

  • @jg2904 Buy the DVD (cheapskate) .

  • @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.

  • t'would be F*cking deranged to create copies of people in real life and killing either originals or copies for the economy.

    Are we ALL done yet with nonsense?

  • @errolfan I think, WE ARE ALL finished playing the NONSENSE GAME. If you want to play play ALONE

  • I just saw this. It was so fucking epic.

  • Bioshock got some heavy Metropolis vibes.

  • 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

  • digitial sucks

  • 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!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

  • @tamsWTFvideos "THIS IS F#&^@*$& 1927!!!!!!!!" Awesome quote, when i watched it i thought the same thing

  • @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

  • @errolfan You're right, I should have directed my comment to tamsWTF. WTF must be code for "Watch the Film". LOL (Love old Lang)

  • @tamsWTFvideos Matrix was 90's, blad runnner mid 80's and star wars 1977.

  • @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 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.

  • @tamsWTFvideos Matrix was the 90sand 2000s Bladerunner was the 80's Star Wars was the 70's and 80s and 2001 was the 60's

  • @richardIII3 I know, the idea was that since it said somethine like "before the Matrix" I assumed it came out in the previous decade.

  • @tamsWTFvideos isn't 2001: Space Odyssey from the 60's? 1968?

  • @ASuperGa That's what was said :p

    

  • @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 oh, i get it.

  • @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.

  • @etiscool1 look about six comments below this please.

  • Do I smell BioShock? XD just kiddin'

  • this is scary. men with black lipstick and black swimming caps is indeed very disturbing.

  • Saw the restored version at the cinema. Loved every minute of it!

  • Seen this at the GFT the other night and my eyeballs Film Jizzed.

    After long and hard searching I have found my all time favourite film.

  • i got this movie today im gonna watch it in a few minutes

  • 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 love this movie! This video is perfect! Thanks so much for posting!

  • 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. :)

  • i love the soundtrack

  • @odisearab2 Me too! I'd really like to buy the soundtrack, but as far as I can tell nobody is selling 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...

  • by far one of the greatest sci fi films ever. i kind of wish this was re-done into a tv series lol.

  • Came here cause of janelle Monae's cd The Archandroid is inspired by the movie

  • 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.

  • @errolfan well, i hated iy because people looked at as this symbolic masterpeice, but realy all it is, is Dances with Wolves but in the future.

  • @gunnare123 You've lost me.

  • @errolfan Dances with Wolves. Kevin Costner.

  • @gunnare123 You never seen Dances with Wolves, Kevin Costner? It's pretty good.

  • @gunnare123

    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
