I've Just Seen a Face - Metropolis

A lighthearted music video summarizing the central love story in my favorite movie, Fritz Lang's "Metropolis." Rich boy Freder catches a glimpse of poor girl Maria and becomes obsessed with - I mean, falls in love with her. Cliches ensue.

(Apologies for the differences in clip quality partway through, I had trouble stitching some bits together.)

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Metropolis, someone else does, but I have no clue who it could be since Lang's dead and UFA went bankrupt, and anyway it's been so long I think it oughta be in the public domain. I don't own the Beatles song, Michael Jackson does for some reason. There's nothing to be gained from suing me anyway.

Srange...you've missed the entire concept of "Metropolis" . How is that?

@kronoscorvinus I understand the central message is political with heavy symbolic elements, and the romance is merely woven through that. Of course, it's entirely possible that I'm just stupid, which seems to be what you're implying. "Metropolis" is still my favorite movie.

@SariaMew456 No, I'm not implying that...I apoligize...but if you're a Southern Accented homeboy from Louisiana it's hard to defend Mitchell, and Twain and Faulkner and Williams on a dailey basis without getting a little bit aggressive. I was wrong and presunptive. Apoligies!!!

@kronoscorvinus It's okay, no hard feelings.

Try to if you can, it's really great! Plus they found the lost footage recently and will release it on DVD soon, or so I've heard.
