    This is very exciting. My wife and I just watched the Criterian Collection version of Metropolis and we were blown away. What an incredible film. I can’t wait to see the whole film.

    Oh wow. The extant version was so… uh, boring. Neat ideas (and in some ways ahead of its time) noteworthy presentation, but exciting? Never.

    It is fun, however, to compare Lang’s vision with Tezuka’s (as realized by Rintaro and Otomo). Lang’s is rather heavy-handed with it’s stratification imagery, but Tezuka’s is more puerile as its story language only really reflects on societies that have slave classes (one would be hard-pressed to read Tezuka’s interpretation as referring to social stratification of any realistic kind).
