METROPOLIS 1927 - In Color

Years ago i watched a colorized version of Metropolis and decided I'd learn how to colorize movies. So I thought I'd take a stab at doing my own version of the movie that started my interest in colourization.

Directed by Fritz Lang
Starring Alfred Abel Brigitte Helm Rudolf Klein-Rogge Gustav Fröhlich

My dearly departed Nan was 6 years old when this came out.
She passed away in 2022 aged 101. RIP.

This is shockingly clear and extremely well done.

Can you imagine being alive back then and going to see this in the theater?! How amazed you would be

I really like Metropolis because it is such a prominent example of how the 1920s portrayed "Sci-Fi" and one can make really interesting contrasts between Metropolis and what came about later (Star Trek, Star Wars, the Dune film) and the way Sci-Fi has evolved over almost 100 years.

97 years later Maria is still one of the scariest dammed robots I've ever seen.

Metrópolis: a movie every human being must watch at least once in their lifetime

In 2 years this movie will be exactly 100 years old.

I cant believe that in 1927 someone had already pondered and to an extent, successfully predicted some of what can happen to mankind when subjected to digital love, a completely computerized form of attraction.

This might be my favorite short film at the moment.

I usually hate colorizing classic movies but this looked amazing! Please do the whole movie!

[krisstopher]

Almost a century old and still way better than most modern sci-fi. I love the art deco and the powerful music. And the added colors look great

[cristianismocatolico]

It was totally worth it, the coloring process. It did real justice to the film, a true, timeless masterpiece.

This is best Metropolis colorization i've ever seen you certainly either improved it frame by frame, or even started from scratch.

This is incredible! The emotions are conveyed so strikingly through facial expressions and movements, and that womans eyes!!! Just WOW!!!

No matter of imaginations, future
scientific predictions and beautiful AI
robot, it is unbelievable this is a 1927
movie. No Exagerrateingly to say that it
compares equally with most sci-fi film
today's in entertainment, surpassed
many in coming anticipations.

This movie was so ahead of it's time. Absolutely one of my all time favorite sci fi films.

[rccc]

This must be the greatest cinematic achievement. Accomplished so much with so little. Fantastic images that were beyond the imagination of most people in that era, a story so beyond dreams told only with images and music, no spoken or written word.

*WOW BRO.... THIS HAS TO BE THE BEST COLORIZATION I EVER SEEN... FACT*

[schrodingerssmilodon]

I've seen many attempts at colorizing this great film in my many years. This is by far the I've seen. Well done!

I truly adored Brigette in this film. The way she was able to act in two characters with the same appearance was just amazing. you could really tell the difference where One was a calm and kind human aiming to provide hope to people, and the other was a twitchy robot hell-bent on manipulating people
