เรื่องย่อ

In the sprawling metropolis of the future, humanity has reached new heights of technological advancement, but at the cost of stark social inequality. The ruling class resides in opulence and luxury, while the working-class masses toil beneath the city's towering skyscrapers, struggling to eke out a meager existence. Fritz Lang's groundbreaking science fiction epic, Metropolis, takes place within this dystopian world, where the enigmatic and brilliant scientist, Rotwang, has created an android identical to his own deceased daughter. This artificial being, named Hel, holds the key to unlocking the secrets of humanity's future. Against this backdrop, the story follows Freder, the son of Joh Fredersen, the city's powerful and reclusive mastermind. While Freder is initially content with his sheltered life in the affluent upper echelons, he becomes increasingly disillusioned with the deplorable conditions faced by the working-class masses. His curiosity piqued, Freder begins to explore the depths of the city, where he encounters Maria, a charismatic and compassionate laborer who has prophesied the coming of a savior to reconcile the warring factions. As Freder delves deeper into the city's underbelly, he becomes embroiled in a perilous struggle between the ruling elite and the revolting workers. The fate of Metropolis hangs precariously in the balance as Freder, Maria, and their allies confront the dark forces driving the city's chaos. Throughout this visually stunning and socially poignant film, Lang masterfully explores themes of class warfare, technological hubris, and human redemption. The iconic imagery, from the towering skyscrapers to the eerie, mechanical landscapes, serves as a powerful allegory for the perils of unchecked power and the potential for collective action in shaping a brighter future.
