This is my week for #SilentFilm since I saw the Technicolor (!!!) THE TOLL OF THE SEA (1922) starring #AnnaMayWong as part of an #AAPI event.
Hafta say I prefer HER acting over Gustav Frohlich (playing Freder Fredersen) who's emoting at 12 on a scale of 1-10.
That high view of the multi-layered city. Proto-cyberpunk?
(I'm getting a bit over excited, sorry)
Listening again to the original symphonic score for the classic film “Metropolis” this morning, and thinking that in this time of the yawning chasm between between the ultra-rich and the rest of us, how the themes of this film are increasingly relevant. #metropolis #economicJustice #classicalMusic

A statue honoring Fritz Lang's 'Metropolis' on the grounds of The Babelsberg Studio (near Berlin), which was the first large-scale film studio in the world and the forerunner to Hollywood. It still produces movies to this day. #Metropolis #FritzLang #film

I am SHOCKED you've never heard of "#Metropolis", probably THE most famous silent film of all time.
TO THIS DAY, there are questions of how Lang achieved his amazing special effects using 1927 technology.
The full film was destroyed in a studio fire in the 1940s, but a global project in the 90s scoured the Earth for prints to reassemble the full film (which you can watch online for free. Just Google: "watch metropolis 1927".)
The view is better from the top. C'mon, I'll show you the best spots!
One of my dream commissions, I love this piece so much!: https://weibo.com/raki0v0
