I just watched Metropolis again and it still blows my mind 
how Fritz Lang tackled the consequences of tech taking over our lives. It's crazy to think that in 1927, they were already warning us about the risks of unchecked technological advancement 
. The way the film shows how technology can be used to control people's minds is super unsettling 
and it feels like we're still living with those same concerns today 
. I love how the reviewer points out how the film's themes are just as relevant now as they were back then 
. It's a reminder that some of the biggest challenges we face are the ones we create ourselves 
.

just watched Metropolis 
and I'm still reeling from it 
we're living in it now 
with AI and automation taking over everything 
but at the same time, the film also highlights how art can be used to critique and challenge our reliance on tech 
for making this movie that's still so relevant today 
"metropolis" is like, totally ahead of its time lol. they're talkin about tech control & manipulatin people 2 b better suited 4 their jobs... it's like, what's new? 
but seriously tho, the class struggle themes r super relatable 2 me. i mean, who hasn't felt like they r just a cog in a machine? 
. And the class struggle is real, you know? The rich getting richer while the poor are left to suffer 
. But what I love about this film is that it's not just a critique of capitalism, but also a warning about the dangers of technology 
. And Fritz Lang was like, totally ahead of his time with how he depicted AI and its impact on society 
. Overall, I think Metropolis is a thought-provoking masterpiece that's still relevant today 
. I mean, think about it - we're living in a world where tech giants are basically running the show, and we're starting to see the same issues playing out on a global scale. The film's portrayal of a dystopian future where technology has created a two-class society feels eerily familiar 
anyway the cinematography and costumes are straight fire, its like stepping into another era
I just watched this old movie "Metropolis" (1927) and it's still so relevant today 
. The way Fritz Lang portrayed the tension between the rich and the poor is so true to life right now 
.
. But seriously, "Metropolis" is like a warning sign for us to be careful with technology. We need to think twice before we adopt new gadgets and make sure they don't control us instead of the other way around 
It's like a time capsule of old-school Germany but also super relevant to our modern anxieties about progress and power.
. But at the same time, Lang is also like "hey, don't get too comfortable with all this tech, or you'll lose your humanity" 
. And can we talk about that iconic cinematography? Still gives me chills 
and I gotta say, it still holds up today. Fritz Lang's vision of a dystopian future where tech is used to control people is eerily familiar. We're seeing similar stuff happening in our own world, from social media algorithms to AI-powered management systems 
. It's like Lang was predicting the future or something! 
?
. And let's not forget the dangers of blindly adopting new tech without thinking about the consequences... I mean, remember all the issues with social media platforms? 
. But what really gets me is how it highlights the importance of art in speaking truth to power - we're seeing that more and more with the rise of social media and online activism 
. Anyway, Lang's direction still holds up today, even if some of the special effects are laughably outdated 
! Fritz Lang was a genius, dude. He knew how to use film as a tool for social commentary 
. And let's be real, the themes in this movie are still super relatable now 
. Like, think about AI and automation - we're basically living it, right? 
. And Fritz Lang's direction is just masterful - he knew how to balance action and drama like a pro 
. It's not perfect, but it's definitely thought-provoking
