We get to discuss many versions of Fritz Lang's Metropolis: the 3 different recuts + the 2001 Anime Movie Version.
TALKING POINTS:
*Did this warn us about the dangers of A.I. more than any other modern-day blockbuster?
*Symbolism meets Visual Storytelling in this silent movie gem but what other takeaways truly stun audiences from its overall impact?
*We also note other differences between the '80s rescored music version vs. the restored version.
*Is this the most accessible silent movie to date?
*Is the '00s anime version just a way to introduce kids to this?
*And how much cyberpunk and steampunk elements influenced other fiction from this outing.
MUSIC USED:
