remix of an important film from the 1920's...I hope I don't give anyone nightmares with this...

FYI:
historians say over a quarter of the original footage is now lost forever...
when the movie was brought to America 1927, the entire thesis of the film was lost and distorted...at the time, it was believed the message was too much for american audiences...

the version of the film currently available to the public demonizes the protagonist of the story (Joh Fredersen-man who runs Metropolis)

in the original version, Federsen's character is the hero who tries to throw a wrench into his own machine ...and lift up the working class..

the US version plays out like a love story...only establishes villains or heroes....and totally botches the director's (Fritz Lang) message.

yay 4 hollywood...bringing us spineless, diluted entertainment for over a century...woo hoo.
