Metropolis


OMG how have I never seen this movie?  It is so epic I watched it twice yesterday.  The insanity of it is that a ton of what it was highlighting about the German class system in 1927 translates very well to the world class system of today.  Sure the world economic climate is a little less communistic and a little less socialist than this movie directly commented on back in the day, but it translates over into the idea that a few have immense wealth and power while a great many work themselves to death to get nowhere.  Until, of course, they storm the castle.  And I will always applaud those brave enough to storm the castle.
