I just saw Metropolis last night with live accompaniment. It's my favorite silent movie, and at least it was doing new things, even if hundreds of movies have imitated its futuristic city, sexy robot, mad scientist, and so on.

I was being sarky about Lang and Von Harbou. When they did it, it was new and imaginative and, hey, it was a great piece of filming.

I never saw original Metropolis. Did see the anime version. Loved it. Don't remember the sexy robots there; just that it was very tragic.

Going by the IMDB summary, the anime Metropolis is a very different story loosely inspired by the 1927 movie.

I'm glad I read this or I may have wasted a couple of hours :-)

The writer had the strange idea that an AI has to have emotions. Admittedly, most AIs on film do, but that is not the definition...
