The first film-catastrophe, the first apocalypse

I decided to write a review of Metropolis, which recently looked again.

Of course this is not the first fantastic film with special effects, but can rightfully be considered the first film a catastrophe in the modern sense. The scale of scenery, special effects, extras, scenes of wreck and flooding are simply amazing. The image of a robot woman, the first robot (and want to draw a parallel with the S-3RO from Star Wars) does not even cause a smile, so everything is detailed and believable, even today. Effectively transferred to the transfer of appearance robot. Another amazing video link. And you can talk about the city for a long time.

The idea itself, even if it is recognizable even to the end, smoothly lies in the screen time. Accurately dosed to convey the first step-frame of the film, take-off and lavish twists and turns.

The abduction of Mary caused me a lot of emotions and was literally chained to the screen. A modern thriller not everyone can boast of skillful forcing the atmosphere, dynamics and curtain (blackout) of the scene.

Scenes of dance and ... the girl sitting on the seven-headed dragon, one of the apogees of the film, is done masterfully.

Acting is convincing, and does not cause smiles and doubt, as it happens for a spoiled viewer with watching silent films. Everything is clear, even when no replicas are written.

Bridgette Helm, who played Maria and the Robot Girl, causes a lot of praise, and a storm of emotions. Her game is a close-up of completely different characters, captures the look, making her admire her talent.

The film with its semantic load to this day remains relevant. Despite his age, it is difficult for him to find analogues that managed to fit into all the plot twists, scenarios, loads and pauses. His trail is found in a number of other films, both recent and sunk in the air. The fact that the film is difficult to process, says the absence of a "Metropolis" remake. There was a piece of information that in 2010 there should be a modern "Metropolis" but .. a lull. Indeed, despite the impressive age, it is difficult to surpass, even knowing how to create new planets.

If you have not seen it, then look, because of the lack of exact analogs, developments, and skill, you will be surprised by this film. In extreme cases, it will be useful.
