About once a year, I have a moment when I wonder if my long-standing choice of not having cable TV is in my best interest. For 2010, that moment is now.
"Metropolis" is the coolest silent sci-fi flick of them all, and, without question, one of the coolest sci-fi flicks ever. It's the story of a futuristic society threatened with destruction when a pair of young idealists attempt to bring equality and justice to its workers... and the city's leader tries to prevent change through some shocking means. If you're not like me, and you have cable television, I recommend watching it. Meanwhile, here are some pictures to whet your appetite.
Thanks for the alert, Steve; I would have missed it otherwise. It was the first time I've ever seen Metropolis, and it is quite the film indeed.
ReplyDeleteOne of the best. I'm not a big fan of silent movies, but there a few that I really like. "Metropolis" is at the top of that list.
