The extant version was so... uh, boring. Neat ideas (and in some ways ahead of its time) noteworthy presentation, but exciting? Never. It <i>is</i> 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).

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. This is very exciting.
