I will be talking about the movie Metropolis (1927), we have to set something straight this is a SILENT!! Movie yes silent. I like the plot of the movie but I was not a fan of the silent thing because I was trying to read their lips. I decide to take some pictures through the entire movie that represents some emotions by their acting that make me realize what was happening.
Let’s start with the workers, every time they appear on screen they were walking looking to the floor making them look inferior and tired. What make me understand most of the plot was the way Freder was acting, his emotions through the entire movie were really intense. His astonishment when he sees Maria (so beautiful) with the workers children’s. His suffer when there was an accident in the machine and when he thought Maria was bad. The way the workers listen to Maria and act around her make us realize she was a person that had power over the workers minds. The first time I saw Joh Fredersen I thought he was the man on power by the way he was talking to his employers and movie around in the room. The way Fredersen was acting seems like he did not care about anybody only Freder, because he was going crazy when someone told him that Freder was with the works. Is not a bad movie not having sound makes us pay extra attention to the action and emotions the characters project.
