When I think of iconic movies Metropolis is
one of the first movies that come to my mind. Metropolis is a 1927 movie directed by German expressionist director Fritz Lang. The movie is silent and it is a big long; however, this movie is considered the first sci-fi movie. The plot is expense so long story short the setting of the movie is a dystopia where the rich rule. The rich live in tall towers and they rarely come down. The sons and daughters of the rich play together in a garden up in the sky. Once a worker called Maria went to the garden with a group of children to show them how the rich live. While she was there she met the son of the city’s most rich ruler. Freder was his name. Freder was so impressed by Maria that he decided to go down to the working city to look for her. While he was there he saw many things that were shocking to him. He realized that his life is not reality. The movie goes on by showing Maria’s and journey. I don’t want to ruin the movie so I’ll stop there. This movie deals with topics that are kind of true these days. This is one of the best movies because it shows how humans are so self-centered.
I love dystopian stories. Are you in Academic Writing and Research and reading 1984 and/ or Brave New World? If you loved this film, I'm sure you'd love these books. They have the same concepts but are portrayed in completely different ways!
