	Metropolis
		Metropolis is a city, is the invention of John Freeman.
		Metropolis is a beautiful experiment but it too is doomed as the only source of energy to power the city is human energy, human energy that is harnessed ruthlessly for the benefit of the Elitists who live above.
		John Freeman's son, Steven, the heir apparent to Metropolis does not share his father's vision of total power: he has a conscience and his father, aware of this, attempts to keep Steven in ignorance of the appalling conditions in which the workers live and toil in the underworld.

		Musical studies were conspicuously absent from university and general education programmes for centuries and only professional studies were regulated, under a series of antiquated and clearly ineffectual rules.
		This is not the place to go into greater detail on the multitude of music schools and academies that, applying their own methods and ignoring official dictates, have attained acceptable and in some cases exceptional results.
		As for music at the graduate level, the creation of the Catalonia Higher School of Music, free of any historical baggage, constitutes a magnificent opportunity to build an institution with a modern approach to teaching the different subjects involved, one that is truly on a level with universities and produces top-quality musicians in all specialities.

	Metropolis--The Musical
		The theme of the original, as described by "Metropolis" author Thea Von Harbou, is that "between the head and the hand there must be a mediator--that mediator must be the heart." The film has been criticized by some for the romantic simplicity of this theme.
		In the musical, the ending scene in which the son literally takes "the hand of God" and "the hand of Man" and places them together for a handshake has been replaced by a scene which resonates more with modern sensibilities.
		Co-author of the musical, Dusty Hughes, describes the development of the musical's libretto and its themes in the CD liner notes.

		Each movement of the symphony-- which may be performed separately-- is a musical response to the myth of Superman.

	Silent Era : DVD : Metropolis (1927) Review
		In its truncated form, Metropolis is at times a little confusing — not a big surprise since an estimated one-quarter of the original Berlin release of the film is still missing from surviving prints and some intertitles are badly translated into English and most times intentionally changing the storyline to disguise its choppy, shortened form.
		The music seems a bit inappropriately lively in some scenes, but overall is pleasing to listen to and gives the viewer some sense of the emotional intent of Lang and Huppertz.

		I wanted to show how a study of music was really a reflection of a study of the city itself, that the development of that music reflected the development of the city.
		So it's the kind of music that was extremely common in the nineteenth century and the early twentieth century throughout Los Angeles.
		It's the type of music that was common for the area, the early California music with strong emphasis on guitars, mandolins, and violins.

	Metropolis - a Review of The Phantom Tollbooth
		The EP was released in March of 1996 on the band's own Steedog Records, gaining favorable reviews from several Christian music magazines and placing two of its five tracks, "Inside" and "You," into the modern rock Top 20.
		Far from being mere knockoffs of their respective influences, though, the members of Metropolis have managed to collect key musical elements from each of the groups above and combine them into a sound that is at once endearingly familiar and yet wholly unique.
		And over it all, the group blankets its music with just enough straight-ahead pop sensibility to insure that each song is as catchy as it is distinctive.

		Metropolis was first published in Britain in an anonymous translation (1927).
		I first saw Metropolis during a Lang retrospective on Radio-Canada some 25 years ago, no musical accompaniment, no colourization, German titles, and damn if it wasn't one of the coolest films I'd ever seen (OK, admittedly I was already a huge silent film fan).
