METROPOLIS (1927 FILM)

I watched a film recently , called Metropolis .The premiere of this film on October 1 , 1927 in Berlin , Germany.It was the most expensive silent film , the production cost reached up to five million Deutsche Mark.The director was Friedrich Christian Anton Lang.He produced a series of silent film.

The story is about a futuristic city humanity sharply divided into two different class,rich and poor.Those of the people were living in completely different world.Rich just live in splendorous and majestic edifice.Conversely the impoverished just need to stay in gloom basement with lots of machineries,did not have any freedom and choice for them.

Filming took place in 20 years on account of in the beginning of the film the elevator were still manually operated .As early as the era of machines.Most of the scenario was filming in the factory because of the theme of the film.The social ran the Communist.So it had a part of film were criticized , as well as its alleged Communist message.Most of the labour were controlled by the superintendent.In their face,you can know that they were not willing to do the work but they bound to do it. So they did not have any expression.The workers had exhausting life.

 

The second part of the film started with agile music.Compared with first,it feel more relaxed and cheerful.Not only the costume were more plentiful but also the expression were more rejoice and with a smile.The movie by using different mise en scene for instance costume,background music and expression to show how the gap of social class.
