剧情介绍
Freder（Gustav Fröhlich 饰）是大都会主宰 Joh Fredersen（Alfred Abel 饰）的儿子。经一位圣洁姑娘（Brigitte Helm 饰）启示，Freder 来到地下目睹了在此劳作的劳工们悲惨的境遇。Freder 向父亲进言，想改变劳工们的处境。但 Joh 不为所动，却对从劳工们身上发现的地图感到忧虑。为弄清地图所示，Joh 不得不向老对头 Rotwang（Rudolf Klein-Rogge 饰）求教。地图所示究竟为何地？劳工们为何要去那里？
Sometime in the future, the city of Metropolis is home to a Utopian society where its wealthy residents live a carefree life. One of those is Freder Fredersen. One day, he spots a beautiful woman with a group of children, she and the children who quickly disappear. Trying to follow her, he, oblivious to such, is horrified to find an underground world of workers, apparently who run the machinery which keeps the above ground Utopian world functioning. One of the few people above ground who knows about the world below is Freder's father, Joh Fredersen, who is the founder and master of Metropolis. Freder learns that the woman is Maria, who espouses the need to join the "hands" - the workers - to the "head" - those in power above - by a mediator or the "heart". Freder wants to help the plight of the workers in the want for a better life. But when Joh learns of what Maria is espousing and that Freder is joining their cause, Joh, with the assistance of an old colleague and now nemesis named Rotwang, an inventor, works toward quashing a supposed uprising, with Maria as the center of their plan. However, Joh is unaware that Rotwang has his own agenda. But if any of these plans includes the shut down of the machines, total anarchy could break loose both above ground and below.
隱喻舞台劇般的演出，前無古人後無來者終於明白默片為什麼這麼好聽啦，配樂真的超級美妙呀你們談話非要弄得這麼近近得要親嘴的距離嗎忽略背景的close up shot超正，还有哪些眼睛堆叠在一起的shot感覺好多神話象徵意義所以唔係好明,特別係感覺有d隱喻感覺好似好勁e.g.沒有了機器我們也不能生存地下教堂好似歐洲鹽教堂配樂有dies eras 出現最後起義果度仿彿令我知道點解德國會出左Nazi...真係同睇d紀錄片好似特別是最後那個逃離的擠擁，太真實了，，真實程度甚至超越現今的電影不過最尾有d曬得太多時間on追逐，而且結局太俗套了(不過那個跳舞的人群好搞笑哈哈哈 Death to the machine!(原來寫劇本既係導演老婆
我看的两小时29分钟的，有点冗长了。越往后看就越看不懂了?不敢相信，这个景是怎么造出来的……?以及那个年代的演技都好夸张啊hh
德国表现主义电影 机器时代 资本家的剥削 工人可怜愚昧盲目 人的异化
早期工人革命代表作₍˄·͈༝·͈˄*₎◞ ̑̑
震惊到我了画风
默剧女主初印象
牛逼 太魔幻了
设定牛逼 但是这结尾有一点点无语😓 有点贴标签了
一部宏大而又精致的默剧，但结尾扣一星。
惊悚
解决阶级矛盾的问题一直在进行着，好像一直没有答案。如他所说的：“人民是希望。”可人民又说他是希望。太震撼了，意想不到。
看不懂剧情，但是视觉效果真的超前
大脑和双手的协调必定是心！
因为太过有名始终没勇气看今天终于点了进来 真的一点也不枯燥 我内心无声电影巅峰+1被1927年所震撼 就是结局有些理想化 但我也想不出更好的处理方法了
很难想象是1927年拍的/女主表情控制好牛/真不想上这个逼班
