I remember seeing dozens of tv musicals videos with portions of this movie. I have finally seen it in its entirety! BRAVO👏🏽x 1,000,000!

[@peterbamforth6453]

What a masterpiece of writing, direction and acting.The writing......... up there with Dickens, George Orwell, Jules Verne and Motzart. The direction ......Not often seen these days. The acting ......Priceless. The scenery and cityscapes would have made Albert Speer green with envy. I am ashamed to admit that I have seen this classic a few times over my 60 odd years and this is the first time that I haved watched it all the way without getting bored.Makes a lot more sense.Thanks for posting....:}

I remember watching this film in college. It made absolutely no sense to me in its cut down form. Now it does..

[@mikeh8416]

It's sad how few people appreciate how far ahead of it's time this film is. Unless it has explosions, car chases, or sex scenes, and ESPECIALLY SOUND, nobody today wants to watch it! So many great classics, forgotten and ignored.

[@dadautube]

good points ... and fact of the matter is this movie does also have some 'modern technological suspense' etc such as cars and planes and even strong suggestively sexual scenes in it ... but today audiences don't find them 'real' ... some today 'family movies' sex scenes happen to be more openly sexual than some porn movies imo ...

[@jedihunter176]

@@dadautube There's bare tits and sexy dances in this movie. What are you moralizing about?

[@deaddocreallydeaddoc5244]

This film was NOT ahead of its time! It was a timely statement about labor and management that was at the heart of all revolutions from the French to the Russian.! And more, the ongoing struggles between management with the arrogance of the bosses and labor in the U.S. gave the Bolsheviks a foothold in America. In the 1920s, this was a very timely topic!

If you play it at .75 or .5 speed the movement is more natural. At that time films were shot mostly at 16 FPS but today 24 and 30 are more likely so the silent movies don't appear as they originally did

[@robhuanout5443]

So you're telling me I need to make an already long film last twice as long just so I can get the true experience???

[@Stanbott]

@@robhuanout5443 no, you would just be watching it at the speed it was created to be in. You have been watching it at the wrong speed.

[@peterbamforth6453]

A very interesting bit of info thanks.

[@Notelu]

@@Stanbott no, the speed as presented is the correct speed, it is synced to the original musical score which proves it was meant to be played at 24fps, even if it was filmed slower

[@RodneyWallaceDynamoC]

I like 30fps better than 24, I guess because I grew up with VHS ❤, those were 30fps right? Thanks for sharing The info

[@Royalle_with_Cheese]

Filmed and released in 1927, supposed to take place in 2027 (some say 2026, but I like round figures...), it would be great if some real studio wizardry could be made to this film for the 100th anniversary in 2027, and released for a limited run at select theaters, as well as on streaming services.

@@tommyreimrock8667 I find them funny! I like vain women - they mind their own business because they know what is good for them and what they like. And - most important - they are too lazy to be maternal and to actively conspire against others for personal reasons !

[@thechurchofdave]

I've not seen this in decades. Obviously not this print. I saw it in a small private theater from the projection boot. It seems I forgot just how good it was. I am much older now and can see more in it that I did then. Back then it seemed like it was worlds away. Now. . . it seems like nearly modern life. Great film from before the censorship started up.

A prequel to Orwell's '1984'? Remember that '1984' was a prequel to the present day.

[@j.g.8494]

Insightful comment!

[@series2J]

First time I've watch it all ,yes l agree there's a lot of 1984 in it. Really enjoyed it 👍

Metropolis (1927) я посмотрела вчера (12.01.25). Страшное кино, а вот почему в РИГЕ есть отель METROPOLS - не знаю. Что то связано с масонами?😏

[@japhyriddle]

I have such mixed feelings about the re-added 16mm footage. While it's super exciting that we have a closer-to-complete version of this classic masterpiece, the 35mm and the 16mm really don't sit together well. Some additions, like at 10:42, add nothing but distraction.

[@igorzlobinski738]

Have you heard main theme notes of Le marseillaise in the workers rebellion scenes in the film?

[@MustachioMo]

Yes!! Great catch!

[@Toupac1029]

somethings wrong with the film speed. too fast

[@donuyy]

you can adjust your youtube playback speed if it seems off to you

[@Stanbott]

@@donuyy its like they took a 24fps movie and make it 30

Go watch Fast and the Furious then.

I looked it up. It was like 16 fps, so i changed teh speed and was able to see it closer to the way it should be
