Metropolis (Fritz Lang, 1927) - German Anxiety

Metropolis is a silent movie depicting the social and political situation of Germany in the 1920s, supervised by Fritz Lang in 1927. In the meantime, the current political situation Germany faces and what will happen in the future are becoming increasingly uneasy. Lang founded a fictitious city symbolizing highly stylized and futuristic elements to convey the very real problems Germany faced then. Using style and theme elements, Lang Lang shows that the capitalist society, dominated by one person, as the working class, dominates those ultimately responsible for the operation of the city.

The metropolitan area is governed by John Fredson, a private owner of a capitalist society. Working under him is the working class and is always a slave all day to keep running the city. There is a clear gap between the place where George Fredson lives and under the work of workers. Fredson's life and work come from the "Babel Tower" overlooking the whole city, and the workers do not appear to the ground. People who do not belong to the working class live with profit from the work of workers, so the problem of exploitation is obvious. But without a worker, city cities will not be able to work. It seems at the end of the movie when workers cease to work to stand up against the dominance. I think that the main message of Lang's movies is not to ignore the working class, but that is the reason for the operation of the city, and if neglected it can gather for justice.

I think that I am worried about the future of German films. From a style point of view, this movie is very futuristic, and the Art Deco style may represent the way to German modernization. The metropolis is very advanced, and Germany seems not to have been so at that time. The combination of contemporary quality and unstable political and social position represents anxiety about where Germany goes, which is exactly the direction of the Nazi regime. In general, I think that Lang's Metropolis represents the German political system of the 1920s and German anxiety about their society and the future.

Fritz Lang 's 1927 German expressionist classic influenced countless movies, especially since it was an eternal hymn to the Art Deco movement. Metropolis is scheduled for 2026 and imagines a brightly illuminated world, a skyscraper like a Manhattan steroid, and an incredibly chic robot.

Fritz Lang 's movie "Metropolis" (1927) showed that affection for the first movie humanoid robot and Italian futurist machine showed hope and fear during the world war. Metropolis is a very successful movie, and its art deco style aesthetics has become teaching aesthetics of science fiction paper for a while. The writer tried to respond to the new world in the period after the First World War. In the 1920s and 1930s, writers who had nothing to do with science fiction were searching for new ways of telling stories, and new ways of dealing with experiences in time, space, and narrative form. Works of Franz Kafka (who died in 1924) after his death, and works of modernist writers such as James Joyce, Elliot, and Virginia Woolf show that time and personal identity can be scaled down. , A story loop and twist.
