Metropolis (1927)

METROPOLIS, a visionary and elaborate spectacle by director Fritz Lang is an epic projection of a futuristic city divided into a working and an elite class. Its exhilarating climax brings the city to its knees, as the classes clash against each other. In the 21st-Century, a de-humanized proletariat labors non-stop in a miserable subterranean city beneath a luxurious city of mile-high skyscrapers, flying automobiles, palatial architectural idylls, tubes and tunnels. With stunningly inventive special effects, Lang's allegorical narrative and architectural vision creates a highly stylized vision of a not-so-unlikely future (especially for 1926 when the film was made.) As the elite frolic above the clouds, thousands of miserable workers toil night and day inside the belly of the gigantic machine that runs the entire city. Metropolis is controlled by a sinister authoritarian whose son, Freder, rejects his father's callous philosophy and attitude towards laborers. Meek though they are, the workers are encouraged by Maria, a wistful young woman who wills her comrades to embrace patience and silent strength. Upon discovering her influence upon the workers, a mad scientist kidnaps Maria and creates a robot in her image that will incite the workers to revolt. As Freder races against time to save Maria and curtail the damage done by her doppelganger robot, Metropolis is enveloped in chaos and the classes are brought together in a breathtaking and highly moralistic climax

Excellent quality on this movie but only Spanish subtitles, and the original German of course.

Good quality, but the non-spanish subtitles have been ripped out.

Thank you very much, pacarre!
It's been a long time since I last saw this movie. Time to see it again and re-educate my perspective on the state of movie-making since 1927. Back then, movie-making was a genuine craft. Today it's mostly a job and a business. The motive is money -- cranking out crap with happy endings based on test audiences. Bah!
Again -- thanks!

For those (like me) who did not know... This is a (very old) silent film. Thus only classical music as background audio track (2 tracks AC3: 2 and 5.1 channels).
Additionally there are 2 'director's comment' audio tracks. One in German and the other one in English.
The original text is in German.
Unfortunately as previously stated the original subtitles have been (stupidly...) ripped out with only the spanish subs left hence NO English, NO French, NO Italian except for the start menu which is off no importance.
