I only saw Metropolis in its most complete form a few months ago. It was a magnificent yet flawed and preachy film, and even with over half an hour missing, was too long. I wasn't sure about its message about ending class warfare through religion. I have absolutely no idea how its 1920s vision of the working man could be translated in this age when most working stiffs sit behind computer screens. Plus the whole good girl/bad girl thing would seem a bit silly in our cynical age when nobody's perfect.

It's gotten to the point where careful investigation is needed just to tell parody from reality. I think that means reality is broken.- Noclevername.
