	Metropolis (1927) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Though this was clearly not the best way to see Metropolis, I was still left with an impression of this supposed classic as a dusty museum piece that was praised by critics because they were expected to like it.
		Of course, the real strength of Metropolis isn't the story, which is pretty silly and probably wouldn't have worked in anything but a silent film, but its amazing visuals, which in their scale and ambitiousness look forward to 2001 and Blade Runner.
		In addition to being a pioneering example of the cinematic possibilities of science fiction, Metropolis also has to be one of the earliest disaster films, as the workers riot and sabotage the machines, endangering the entire city.

	Metropolis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A metropolis (in Greek metera = mother and polis = city/town) is a major city (nowadays in most cases with a population of at least one million), which is a significant economical, political and cultural center for some country or region, and usually an important hub for international connections and communications.
		In this sense "metropolitan" usually means "spanning the whole metropolis" (as in "metropolitan administration"); or "proper of a metropolis" (as in "metropolitan life", and opposed to "provincial" or "rural").
		A metropolis isn't necessarily a global city, or being one, it could not be among the top ranking due to its poor standards of living, development, and lack of infrastructures.

	Metropolis 1927 - Film Archive - Posters, Lobby Cards, Postcards - Part 1: 1927
		Metropolis is a film full of spectacular imagery - the robot, cityscape, the workers, and the machines all provided material for the promotional artists of the day, given the task of selling the film to a contemporary audience.
		As a result, Metropolis is well served by posters, window cards and lobby cards, the majority produced by Ufa and Paramount in association with the film's initial release during 1927-8.
		The most notable of the Metropolis posters is the original three-sheet Schulz-Neudamm image, bearing the head of the robot starring blankly out at the viewer, and framed by a background tall skyscrapers and distinctive art deco lettering.

	Metropolis
		Metropolis also pioneered the "Schufftan Process" a revolutionary method of combining live action and miniatures and had the largest budget ever for a European production.
		Metropolis, of course, deals with the same theme as many SF movies, from Invasion of the Body Snatchers, to Blade Runner to A.I.: In an increasingly technological world, what does it mean to be human?
		The Fuhrer "loved" Metropolis, he was told, saying, "Here is a man who can give us great Nazi films!" Lang realized with some nervousness the gravity of his situation when Goebbels offered to make him an honorary Aryan in spite of his Jewish mother.

	Amazon.com: Metropolis (Restored Authorized Edition): DVD: Alfred Abel,Gustav Fröhlich,Brigitte Helm,Rudolf ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		METROPOLIS takes place in 2026, when the populace is divided between workers who must live in the dark underground and the rich who enjoy a futuristic city of splendor.
		Fritz Lang's METROPOLIS was very successful with both critics and audiences when it debuted in 1927 Berlin--but it was thereafter edited for distribution by Channing Pollock, who disliked it and removed great chunks of the film and substantially altered the storyline.
		Metropolis is a science fiction film but it's also a political statement favoring a christian and humanistic resolution to the raging conflicts between the capitalist magnates and the industrial workers in 1920's Germany.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Metropolis (Titular See)
		Metropolis is now completely destroyed, its ruins being visible in a place called Tratsa in the nahié of Torbali and the vilayet (Turkish province) of Smyrna, quite close to the river Caystrus.
		The neighbouring village of Torbali has been built up with stone once used in the structures of ancient Metropolis and, at Tratsa, there may still be seen a portion of its wall, also its theatre and acropolis, the latter formed of huge blocks, while the olive groves are dotted with architectural ruins.
		This Metropolis, however, must not be confounded with two cities of the same name, one of which was in Phrygia and the other in Thessaly.

	Metropolis at Binary Bonsai
		I've only seen Metropolis once, back in 2000, when I was writing my Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep paper, and I dare say I wasn't quite ready for it back then.
		Fritz Lang, the (and I do not use this word lightly) visionary director of Metropolis, uses the polarized technology-dependent society of Metropolis to pull into perspective the industrialization of Europe in the early 20th century, the segregation of the classes in Europe at the time as well as the God-syndrome tendencies of maniacal scientists.
		Metropolis is one of those amazing movies that will have an impact on me for the rest of my life.

		Its aesthetic tastes are solid: the vaulting, Art Deco of the ruling, futuristic upper-world contrasted with the crumbling mortar of the oppressed who build the future, yet are barred from it.

		Metropolis was first published in Britain in an anonymous translation (1927).

		Still, the novel is a remarkably powerful and forward-thinking dystopia, and the final scenes of the destruction of the city of Metropolis, as Mr.

		Adapted from Osamu Tezuka's 1949 manga, Metropolis (in Japanese with English subtitles) is an opulently beautiful film that fails to present a coherent story worthy of its extraordinary visuals.
		"Metropolis" is a gorgeously rendered futuristic world where robots and humans mingle, usually not without friction.
		The intricate politics of Metropolis are based on three tiers - the upper class, a vast and impoverished lower class, and beneath all else, the robots.

	Fritz Lang & 'Metropolis' >> German-Hollywood Connection
		The silent classic Metropolis was created in Germany in 1925-26 by the Austrian director Fritz Lang in collaboration with his wife, Thea von Harbou (1888-1954).
		Less successful than Metropolis (partly because it was silent just as sound was coming in), Frau im Mond (“The Woman in the Moon” - now on DVD) was also based on a story written by von Harbou.
		His Metropolis cameraman, Karl Freund (1890-1969), a fellow Austrian who had left Germany years before Lang, was very successful in working behind the camera on countless Hollywood productions, including Dracula (1931) and Key Largo (1948).

	Metropolis (Transit-Universum Film PAL Region 2 vs. Film sans Frontières PAL Region 2)
		Metropolis became the first full-length feature film in Europe to be restored using high-resolution digital restoration.
		This is more than a metaphor: owing to a fortunate combiantion of receptivity and confusion, Lang's scriptwriter, Thea von Harbou, was not only sensitive to all undercurrents of the time, but indiscriminately passed on whatever happened to haunt her imagination.
		In Metropolis, as in all his films, Lang handles lighting admirably: the futuristic city appears as a superb pyramidal accumulation of shimmering sky-scrapers.
