A film for ages!

Since the very first films of all cinema, or rather even say the footage shot by the ancestors of the cinema, the Lumiere Brothers, the cinema begins its long and frantic path, which continues to this day. Most of the films of those distant years have laid a powerful foundation for films of any genre, many cinematic undertakings, and some of the slightly late paintings and are now very interesting and relevant, are the standards of such a movie that should be. The metropolis of the distinguished Fritz Lang is one of the few films that truly and to this day amazes the viewer both with the plot and the picture!

Undoubtedly, the strongest side, in my opinion, is the plot, which is based on the book of the same name. Briefly about the plot: The metropolis consists of the lower and upper cities, respectively, in the lower live workers, extracting sweat and blood, big money for their master and for the upper city in general, for another, supposedly real Metropolis. And of course there is an idea of ​​exploitation of the poor and defenseless, the idea of ​​slavery, which is as relevant in our day! There are many films on this subject, however, Metropolis is one of the first, the very first who raises this sick subject. And even if you take into account that the film was shot in just 5-7 years before Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany. Not for nothing, I think he was one of the Fiihrer's favorite films!

1927 year. This was not much not enough 83 years ago. Almost a century has passed since then, and the film simply amazes with its scenery, it was really hard work to create this! This machine is Moloch, this insane beast, even the frost on the skin runs at the sight of it, and again realizing when it was created! A separate plan for me is a kind of "videophone" (very impressive and striking)! In technical terms, the film also exceeds all expectations and assumptions; all this in no way accurately reflects the atmosphere of the whole film! Also take into account the fact that the film is mute, which allows actors to look much more natural and emotional, although the acting of the films of that time looks a little "strained" or something, but it's nothing compared to the fact that all the emotions and feelings are transmitted by this amazing music accompanying the whole picture!

In the end, I will say that Fritz Lang, one of the greatest directors of German cinema, turned out to be a very lively and disturbing work! He created simply an indescribable picture in which the plot makes you think about life, about people, about fate, about the most difficult, pressing problems! In the film, we draw a city of the future with its problems, this is a film-message to us living in this future, a message about how not to live! Masterpiece!

And remember: the intermediary between the mind and the hands should be the Heart !!!
