Metropolis is a German silent film from 1927 from German Expressionist Fritz Lang. It gives us a glimpse into what people of the past thought about the future. And boy... they were more accurate than I would have liked. Love, labor disputes, class division, robots. It's got it all, baby.

Well, I have a new favorite Disney princess now.
Metropolis is so way ahead of its time and not just from it. Both in character and in practice, you Magdalen make an awesome and appropriate Maria.
Freder's Voyage is a ride I'd go on any day of the week at Disneyland
we shouldn't be doomed to repeat history....but here we are.......
You had me at ‘Buddha with German robots.’
0:19, when Mimi starts seeping through the cracks...
11:32 where were you when Mimi threw it back?
One of my favorite films of all time thank you for this amazing critique on it. Probably the best one I've seen
Best Sailor Scout, no I will not be taking questions.
This is everything. Next up: "Metropolis": the anime.
This was great, thank you!
I've clicked the notification button so enthusiastically that I had to click it an additional 5 times for it to stay on 🤖
Our vapourwave Breadtuber host overlooked the opportunity to bring up the Giorgio Moroder edit with its music because the message of this movie alone was more important than its A E S T H E T I C c;
Fun fact: in our history of the Weimar Republic class (I'm German), our professor promised to personally make paper medals for anyone who made it through the entirety of Metropolis.
One guy got it.
No way! Haha this movie's great but it is definitely long.
@@MagdalenRose it really is 😅 additional fun fact: the only reason that class even existed was because our professor was pissed that Weimar only got a small corridor in the German History Museum in Berlin!
Not to take the side of the oligarchs, but I think part of why the dad is so resistant to shaking the worker's hand at the end is because the worker just took his hands of of his pants. I don't think those are pockets. (still, I'd rather shake hands with pant-hands there than the guy whose hands are covered in the blood of the working class.)

Hahahahahha 👍👍
Your best yet!! And I love that the mask made another appearance. 💜
Interesting considering this in the context of the worker's rights in modern day Germany - worker representatives are often on the boards of most large German companies for example, and I wonder if this movie had an impact there or was reflective of that movement at least.
Bots feeding people carefully honed BS to provoke a desired response? That's some A grade future casting right there.
the 1968 film a space odyssey 2001. was to accurate. the creation of the humanoids was scary accurate! crazy fanatics, humans marrying robots, etc. this was crazy by 1962 standards.
what a wonderful video essay. i've ignored most of the original classics because of shitty elitists, but now I wanna watch this film more than ever
I highly recommend it, it’s a great film and very easy to find.
hwat the *fuck* pApA, this is absolute traesh!
BUT I WANT TO YELL AT YOU IN THE COMMENTS!!!!!! 👴👴👴👴
Eh.... I have to dissent on the idea of "Ruhe über Alles".
It might be accurate from a class reductionist point of view.... But as soon as ⚪ rears its ugly head (as it *always* does), it becomes offensively worthless.
Because it doesn't matter the words we say.
It doesn't matter the manner in which we say them.
Whatever is said is deemed inherently violent to the kenraken.
And no matter how peaceful we are, violence is always brought upon us by kenraken.
I'm not advocating for that here. There is a difference between organized protest, and disinformation campaigns aimed at intentionally radicalizing a population. Maria has good intentions, but her idea is basically to just wait it out and hope someone else comes along to solve the problem. The robot offers a more cathartic release but ultimately ends up harming the workers movement. Communities that are thriving don't have to be happy, or peaceful. Anger can be galvanizing, but it can also destroy a movement entirely.
