@@JonathanVachon777 We can not be sure in it. On the one hand, the full version is ( 2 hour 33 min ) no longer available, and on the other hand, this full version was not successful at its time.
Honestly, despite the movie being nearly a century old, the electronic instruments actually kind of fit for this scene, giving it that old-timey vision of the future vibe. I genuinely believe if synth type instruments were around when this was made, this probably would've been the exact kind of music they'd use.
I disagree for several reasons. Early electronics were far less expressive than acoustic instruments and difficult to control Also, film music tradition relied heavily on late romantic/early 20th century composers for the most part.
I can't stop admiring how much work had to go into the set design in this movie. All the props and decorations in this scene look so realistic and everything must have been made from scratch. I have to get to know more about the production. BTW - I love the music in this video. Great job! 👏
Wow. Beautiful yet haunting. Been a very long while since I saw Metropolis and yet I'm still mesmerised by those visuals. It still blows my mind that this was made nearly a hundred years ago! 🤯🤯 NB It only just occurred to me that the image of Maria is very similar to Leeloo in the Fifth Element, I wonder if this was an influence on Luc Besson...
It's truly mind-blowing to think that this ground breaking movie was made almost 100 years ago. Many of the people who first saw the film in a cinema back in 1927 would've been born in the later half of the 19th century- The American Civil War was still in living memory- awesome!
It seems Luc Besson of The 5th Element paid homage to this movie by including the scene where The 5th Element is being reconstructed on that table in the lab. Maria looks exactly like her with those bands around her, that they used as bandages in the newer movie.
Fritz lang was wonderful about this movie. The soundtrack could have inspired Blade Runner, 56 years later. Van Guellis would love to include his song in this futuristic picture. Thanks a lot.
Not only C3PO, more in Star Wars (include clones armor, Coruscant and the Ralph McQuarrie sketchs 😉) made in 20s Streamline moderne style. Sorry for my English.
Chañaral Ortega-Miranda (nascido em 1973) é um compositor chileno de música clássica. Nascido em Arica, Chile, em 1973, Ortega-Miranda passou os primeiros seis anos de sua vida exilado na França. Depois de estudar teoria musical e composição em Buenos Aires de 1989 a 1993, frequentou as aulas de composição de Sergio Ortega na École Normale de Musique de Paris até 2000. Em seguida, frequentou o Conservatório de Estrasburgo, onde estudou com Ivan Fedele. Ele participou dos festivais anuais Musiques à l'encre fraîche de 1993 a 2000. Ele também trabalhou com Jonathan Harvey, Michael Jarrell, Zoltán Jeney e Péter Eötvös no Acanthes Centre e participou da sessão de composição na Fondation Royaumont: Voix Nouvelles com Brian Ferneyhough e Stefano Gervasoni. Ortega-Miranda é co-fundador da Association Syntono, Boulogne-Billancourt, que apoia a composição e promoção da música contemporânea. Q'inti, sua premiada composição para conjunto orquestral, é inspirada em uma lenda inca.
Can you imagine how polarizing this must've been when this scene was released. The only device that even remotely resembles this (at least in the west) was the electric chair. It's taking the horrific aspect of a machine design for executions and spinning that idea on its head.
Wow!! I haven't seen "Metropolis" in a long time (I own several "restored" versions). This clip is Absolutely Amazing!! So far ahead of the Special Effects of the creation of Frankenstein's Monster in the James Whale-directed movie. This is Truly Amazing!! The only thing lacking is Voices -- but even so, seems like voices aren't needed. 😍

all the creative imagination that went into this movie and I'm sure lots of money helped create a masterpiece that is sill pleasant to watch after ninety five years.
Quite nicely digitally restored. There is some blocking compression artifacts, and grain should have beeen reintroduced to these shots to give it the original film aesthetic.
Metropolis is the most technically advanced and revolutionary film of all time. the film was produced in 1927, cost the unbelievable sum of 5 million Reichsmarks and was a financial debacle. the audience and the critics tore the film and the production company UFA had to be sold in 1927. the original was then stored and all cinema copies destroyed. the film was just too far ahead of its time.
Crazy to think they were already envisioning a world with augmented humans, part robot with a conscious at that time. I love the Terminator movies but James Cameron gets too much credit for something he didn't really come up with.
The steampunk movement, either intentionally or unintentionally owes quite a bit to this movie. I'd like to see a contemporary film director attempt a remake of this movie, just to see what they come up with.
Movies today have gotten lazy. Back then the technology that we have available today wasn't available back than. For them not having the instruments that are available today, this movie is Great 👍

Absolutely amazing stunning visuals from 1927! A great film with awesome effects ahead of it's time.
Oddly enough none of the effects in that scene were particularly hard to achieve at the time.
Yes, but don't forget the costs of the shooting nearly bankrupted UFA.
That movie is a masterpiece

@@wernerreiner1343 huh? The movie is missing some parts but we still have the majority of it. Still a good movie in my opinion. I really enjoyed it

They had the theremin a year later I think that was the first synth type instrument.
Agreed.

@@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep The Theremin was developed in 1920 - it got PATENTED in 1928.

as i understand it the movie went way over budget..
@@brianrokita253 Pretty much bankrupted the studio
I wonder what happened to all those props and such.
That's not a set,that's the broom cupboard at the WEF in davos.
I LOVE this movie - I don't care how old it is, it's so damned thought provoking!
I was showing some younger friends who had never heard of Metropolis, the trailer for the film. They were amazed that it was done 100 years ago.
EXCUSE ME 100!?!?!
Special effects SO far ahead of their time. Amazing. Steam punk 100 years ahead of the concept.
Its called Art Deco. Everything in it is an Art Deco masterpiece.
The term dates back to 1987, so at most 60 years "ahead". Many works that have been called 'steampunk' date to the 1950s...
Metrópolis in Radio Ga Ga of the band Queen
Special effects in this early film always leave my jaw on the floor
Wow. Beautiful yet haunting. Been a very long while since I saw Metropolis and yet I'm still mesmerised by those visuals. It still blows my mind that this was made nearly a hundred years ago! 🤯🤯
NB It only just occurred to me that the image of Maria is very similar to Leeloo in the Fifth Element, I wonder if this was an influence on Luc Besson...
What preceded may always be deemed an influence to what followed, even if only in the collective.

I watched one video on this and now getting bombarded with all the videos. Didn't even search for this but interesting.
That was an amazing work! Please do more scenes!
This scene creeped me out as a kid and it still does
That movie is a feast for Art Deco fans.
Amazing
What good special effects for that time
The music fits very nicely with this great classic movie
Lights, Camera, Action...............................................SOUND !
This movie was so ahead of it's time!
Back to the Future!! I remember being blown away by the visuals of this movie..still am. Yes, even the sound track was so futuristic.
One of the first DVD movies I bought, stunning, wonderful music
Es impresionante. Que calidad, ideas y tecnología para la época. Es increíble, me encanta
Iconic in every way 👏 ✨ 🙌 👌 💜
Very well made for the time! * Muito bem feito para a época! 👀😎👍
It works SO WELL with synth!!
Fritz lang was wonderful about this movie. The soundtrack could have inspired Blade Runner, 56 years later.
Van Guellis would love to include his song in this futuristic picture. Thanks a lot.
she was a HUGE inspiration for C3PO by George Lucas
Not only C3PO, more in Star Wars (include clones armor, Coruscant and the Ralph McQuarrie sketchs 😉) made in 20s Streamline moderne style.
Sorry for my English.
Pity C3P0 wasn't as beautiful...
Well before it time ,Iconic.!
Such a beautiful movie, with or without modern music.
Magnífico corto de locos
Que hermosa música ,orgullo y un regalo escucharla.
Un besote Chaña. desde Arica.
The last shot is horrifying and i fucking love it
I remember seeing this specific clip back in the early 00's in Microsoft Encarta lol. I feel old.

Genius of Fritz Lang.
SHE'S ALIVE !!!!!
Wow I’m impressed thanks 😮
The music is great.
I think she is really beautiful
Perfecta musicalización de escenas!! Abrazos y felicitaciones Chaña........
This is great. There is a touch of Blade Runner in the tune, and I like it!!!!!!
The Germans were always ahead of their time with the moody atmospheric electronic trance music.
Quite nicely digitally restored. There is some blocking compression artifacts, and grain should have beeen reintroduced to these shots to give it the original film aesthetic.
The most overlooked thing is the fact that Rotwang has a cybernetic hand 😜
Great!
I enjoyed Giorgio morodas soundtrack for the 1984 version 80s synth really married well with the movie
Radioooo, someone still loves youuuuuuu
Wooow !!!

@@jameswatson5807 Mostly restored version was done in Germany a few years ago. You can buy the dvd. Lots of neat extras.
One of my all time favorites………..
The Weimar Republic actually had the biggest movie industry of its time.
4k super hd etc , you can’t beat good old monochrome.
Stunning.
How do you solve a problem like Maria?
Crazy to think they were already envisioning a world with augmented humans, part robot with a conscious at that time. I love the Terminator movies but James Cameron gets too much credit for something he didn't really come up with.
Still better than marvel / she-hulk cgi

Las transhumanisacion!!! Fascinantemente mortal!! The end of humanity
Without the music. ...this movie would have no soul. The music is *Everything.*
The score is so-so, but better than some. The original Gottfried Huppertz score is the best.
Agreed.

Stunning music!

Esto fue extraño pero ala vez satisfactorio
Muy buen video. Saludos desde Perú.
Buenísima la música. Saludos desde Santiago!
This DJ is not bad :D
They don't make women like they used too
She is really beautiful 💘
Ahora las deshacen.
😔
The expression on this woman's face gives me the creeps. There's nobody home.
Bridge between visuals of Frankenstein movies and the Fifth Element.
The fuck? I honestly fought this was from 1978 or something, NOT NINETEEN TWENTY BLOODY SEVEN!
That scared the bejesus out of me. Come back, Jesus!
So was this the pilot for a TV series?
"OMG LOOK AT THOSE SPECIAL EFFECTS!!" 🐒🦍
And yet, just four years later Fritz Lang had a very different view of labour. See "M for Murder", 1931.
That's how they did it before Tinder.
Não sei por quê ! Me lembrou a sequência de abertura do filme de " Ghost in the Shell" . viajei 😂
Help me! I did not see any transformation.
Movies today have gotten lazy. Back then the technology that we have available today wasn't available back than. For them not having the instruments that are available today, this movie is Great 👍
Never fully appreciated at the time, nor now
Looks like the Fifth Element might have watched this
It's doc brown marty!
So Ahead of its time.
Leeboo from the Fifth Element!
Lindo!!
Why they put a free mason pentagram above robot's head?
Not freemason....satanic pentastar
So she switched bodies with a robot ? how weird
VIP先生じゃん
Still better than Reggaeton.
So realistic many it's true
Does that mean the real Maria dies?
