  Metropolis 1927

  Watched 28 Feb 2025

  Not gonna give this a rating cause we skipped around while watching in class but I saw enough to know 90% of what happened. Very influential film with a lot going on. Very ambitious stuff for the 20s but my modern brain struggles to comprehend it all with no dialogue. Definitely respect it though and I think if a top tier modern director tried to remake this it could possibly be great. Probably would be around a 3/5ish on this one though.

  “Who knows? Is this the start of something wonderful and new, or one more dream that I cannot make true?”

  Well I did it. I watched that critically acclaimed musical that everyone loves so much. Now I see why La La Land is considered a masterpiece. I really was not interested in it for a while, mainly because it was a musical, but as time went on I became more open to the thought of watching it. I still waited until…
