Metropolis

I just watched the German film Metropolis (1927) for my film class, and I must say that I was completely blown away. It is hardly believable that it was made in 1927 with its visual technology and relevancy of its ideological message to the present society. And its spiritual anti-authoritarian message was so powerful. There were tons of other wicked anti-facism, pro-worlers implications in the film. 

I also read the article about the movie after, and found out that some critisized the movie very harshly, for instance HG Wells described it as the siliest film ever, but some phraised it. There was also division between critics about weather the it is a communist film or a socialist film. And the most notably, and real oddly, Hitler liked the film and asked the director to make nazi propaganda films, which he refused and fled germany afterwards leaving his wife who eventually joins Nazi party after he fled (some heavy story here...)

If you haven't watch this frilm, I heavily encourage to pick it up. And if you have watched it before I would like to hear some thoughts on it.
