Diary entries forMetropolis
Metropolis
Loved lots about this. The size and scale is absolutely breathtaking and the set designs are beautiful. Found the story interesting but wasn't a massive fan of the ending, the hands were treated like literal slaves and at the end they were fine shaking hands with the man responsible? Seems farfetched but everything else makes up for this masterpiece.
Metropolis
I truly didn't appreciate this film for what it truly is when I first watched it. While I don't believe it's a masterpiece, there is no denying that Metropolis is one of the most influential products in film history, as well as one of the greatest movies to be created in early cinema. Metropolis is beautiful not only in its set design (possibly the greatest set design of any movie I've seen), but also within the story of the film as well. While I've only seen two films from Fritz Lang, I have picked up quickly that the meanings in his stories tell the audience about his issues with society. For example, Metropolis explores social inequality and the relationship between the working class and the upper class (the final line of dialogue within the film directly telling the audience "The mediator between head and hands must be the heart). Through this, Metropolis proves that it is an incredibly meaningful film. However, as I said before, I still don't think the film is a masterpiece. Personally, I found the acting to be too dramatic at times. I understand that conveying emotions was a gargantuan task for its time, but it feels so extra to the point that it takes me out of the film. Overall, to me, this is a great movie and I'm glad it's recognized as such. 8/10.

Metropolis
People spoke the same language, but could not understand each other… To say this was way ahead of its time would be a massive understatement. Fritz put his whole Langussy into this one, some of the most uniquely incredible visual storytelling I’ve ever seen in a film (and practically a century old??). Just make sure you don’t watch this on Tubi; I sat through about 30 mins of it which had a random “elevator-jazz” score, then looked up a version on YouTube with the original score. The YouTube version I watched was an entirely different experience, the original score was masterfully done and really elevates the film.
Metropolis
É bastante impressionante como os efeitos técnicos neste filme revolucionaram o cinema, não tenho dúvidas que supera alguns atuais. Os temas abordados continuam presentes neste tempo.
Metropolis
Absolute cinema Stunning What a production “Gileiche Sprache sprechend, verstanden die Menschen sich nicht...” “İnsanlar aynı dili konuşmuş, fakat birbirlerini anlayamamışlar...” “MITILER ZWISCHEN HIRN UND HÄNDEN MUSS DAS HERZ SEIN!” “ELLER İLE AKLIN ARABULUCUSUKALP OLMALIDIR!”
Metropolis
until I finished watching this film, I still think how come fritz lang could make a film like that in the 1920s, what a visionary fritz lang was in making this film. I think this is a good start in my silent film watching
Metropolis
I appreciate what it offered to the advancement of the film industry and the sci-fi genre, but it is a CHORE to sit through. Needs to shave about an hour and half off it’s runtime.
