Fritz Lang's science fiction masterpiece, METROPOLIS (1927) is set in the year 2026. It depicts the disparity between the super rich elite and the burdened working class and the ways the rich will do just about anything to keep the poor poor and enslaved.

@tuckerteague Not sure why, but this sounds vaguely familiar.

@tuckerteague

Instead of just the trailer, how about the entire movie?

It's been in the public domain for quite a while now. This version has english titles, but at a lower resolution than other versions.

Fantastic film, too.

@lumiworx because the public domain version is not the fully restored HD version that includes the lost 25+ minutes.

@tuckerteague

Ahhh... then there's one that's been restored, upscaled, but has been colorized. It isn't terribly bad, but obvious.

@tuckerteague Love Metropolis - it gets increasingly creepy as the film goes on!
