Recently, I got to purchase the awesome anime movie called
Metropolis. The movie is based on a 1927 silent film by Fritz Lang of the same name. While I have never actually seen the silent version, my research has deduced that the two films are very similar. They share the theme of social classes, wherein workers are downtrodden by the wealthy that depend on them. Honestly, though, very few people care about this. I’m sure that there are critics out there who spit on the anime
Metropolis because it’s not the original, but frankly they are godless communist heathens who think nothing of infant defenestration and incest. The anime version is great, and I highly recommend it to everyone. I suppose it is a difference of quality. There is no doubt that the 1927 version was the most expensive silent film created. It cost approximately $5.27 to produce, which equates to about $200 million today. Still, it doesn’t hold a candle to the anime version’s amazing visuals and intriguing sounds. Don’t just take my word for it, though. As I have stated, I have never seen the original version (and have no intention to). Nevertheless, you should see the anime version. You don’t believe in infant defenestration, do you?

Ahahaha, most people say the exact same thing. I'm just one of those people who "have to do it" to say they completed something. Plus, I mean, you spent $40 bucks on the game. Might as well utilize it!

The original stank. $5.27 today would've been too much to sink on it.
I've seen both, and they both suck.
Yeah that's a good movie. ^^ I never saw the old one, just the newer one and I liked it.
Actually... I talked my bf into buying it from a garage sale type thing before the semester ended, lol. (He also got District B-13 which is a French action movie that is a LOT cooler than I thought it would be, lol)
I cried when the robot died. ;_; Boopbeep?
Heheh, $5.27, thats like enough to buy 5 things from the dollar store, plus taxes!
And having only seen the old Metropolis, which I thought was pretty alright for 1927, I am somewhat compelled to see the anime one.
