Metropolis

I recently watched the incredibly long and confusing silent film metropolis. It's about a world where  the wealthy  live above ground and the working class lives below ground  Manning deadly machinery. When feeder meets the beautiful Maria, some kind of religious messiah. She wants someone to be the mediator between the classes. Why she can not be that person, I don't understand. But, anyway. Rotwang turns his robot sex doll into a Maria look alike. She leads the working class to destroy the machines. After they realise this means the demise  of their children, they burn the false Maria alive. Feeder becomes the mediator. The end. Weird right? And it was 2 hours long. The visuals were beautiful and realistic, considering it was the 1920s. The acting was overdramatic but pretty good. The Pink Floyd album setting the tone throughout the movie was awesome, and I can not imagine the film with classical music anymore.
