This influential German science-fiction film presents a highly stylized futuristic city where a beautiful and cultured utopia exists above a bleak underworld populated by mistreated workers. When the privileged youth Freder (Gustav Fröhlich) discovers the grim scene under the city, he becomes intent on helping the workers. He befriends the rebellious teacher Maria (Brigitte Helm), but this puts him at odds with his authoritative father, leading to greater conflict.

Just imagine seeing this in 1927. This has got to be insane

[thespiderpatriot]

For a film made in 1927 this is pretty damn impressive

[wiibrockster]

Imagine seeing this in 1927, it must have been mindblowing!

[TimYong]

This movie was wasn't all that far off about its predictions for the future.
An absolute masterpiece!

[thecoolyoyo]

Do you know it’s a good film when the trailer makes you want to watch it 90 years later

[zudemaster]

This was made before people could talk.

[Luemml]

crazy to think in already 7 years it will have anniversary (a century old) and the issues in the movie and also the "artificial human" are still modern tropes but also highly relevant in our current times (AI, biopolitics, class problems, environmental disasters, spying, the question of ethics in science, etc.)

[animateangus]

This film is nothing short of incredible. Hopefully it gets a special reissue in the cinema one day.

*Just imagine this being watched in 2027! 100th years anniversary!* 🥇😲
Edit: Just imagine our offsprings will watch it on 2127 and will celebrate 200 years of science fiction cinematic event!

[TheRealBeatMaster]

Absolutely insane how they had such special effets and large sets before colour and even sound were prevalent. Truly groundbreaking art.

[williamchico]

Metropolis is my favorite silent film of 1927, baby!

[johnnywilson]

The fact that this takes place in 2000 and that it’s 2021 and we’re not even close to having the technology from this movie makes it like time only changed a little bit since 1927.

[jasonsgroovemachine]

This is one of the most visually stunning movies ever made.

[devilteddy]

1 of the best films ever made period and the fact that people are still talking about nearly a 100 years after it's release speaks volumes

[themaninc]

Can see where George Lucas and Ridley Scott got their inspiration for the visuals used in their sci-fi films

[KarlSturmgewher]

It's one of most epic films made in Germany.

I would have loved to see this get a Japanese dub track.

[TheNoMan]

I think it’s the greatest science fiction film ever created.

[gaminonya]

Fritz Lang is my favorite director and is my hero!

Everything he has done, was way before its time.

[gusostby]

It’s crazy that humans made all of these shots possible with those shots of futuristic cities, all while they didn’t have the ability to talk yet.

[Abdullahs_World]

Outstanding narrative and visuals, surpassing contemporary standards.
