Opinion on "Metropolis"

At first I don’t get the movie, it is so art and abstract in a way that I have no clues what it is about. First there are prisoners going down below the surface of the Earth then it is something about people playing like a role in places. I think the intersection between the two scenes is too much.

I think it is about the lowers and upper class people, as the lower class coming up to the rich society and get rejected. But the guy, Freder is the name, seems to in love with her at first sight and goes to search for the girl in the working city.

When he sees the city, he looks surprise like he never seen something like it before. Then it cuts to the scene where the employees get captured by somewhat ancient-look alike. Freder then flees back to the grand city where everything looks perfect to see his father and ask for helps. But his father doesn’t appreciate and seems careless about those working people. It shows clear relationship between rich and poor people that they do not get along.

Father of Freder, Joh Frederson fired his assistant, and if he doesn’t belong in the upper class world, he needs to go work in the depth at the machine city. I think the movie shows clear differences between upper and lower class people and how they live different life. At first the movie is so confusing, but after watching it for a while, it is quite interesting and fun, as I want to know what will happen next.

Freder wants to help those working class people badly and ask one of the employees to trade the life with him. Freder then work at the machine and the employee’s acts as the upper class person.

Then it cuts to the scene of Rotwang, the inventor of a unique house.  His house is a lab and he creates Joh Frederson’s wife model for some reasons. I think Rotwang in love with Frederson’s wife, but she chooses to live with Frederson, not Rotwang. Although she dies, she will always be with him even Frederson seems to forget about her already.

After the conversation about the woman, Frederson hands Rotwang a building plan that Freder seems to have it too to Rotwang. It is the plan of 2000years old cattacond of down below Metropolitan, which I don’t know what it means. It is Freder who finds the thing and it looks like a church, with the girl he in love with. Then his father and Rotwang follow to the place too. I think what that connect the two classes is religious. It unites them together.
