Metropolis

Not sure if I'm the first post or I can't see anyone else's. Anyway, I really enjoyed Metropolis as our first film. Especially since I am a business major and can relate to this film with what I am studying in my Business Communications class. We learned about communication in corporations and how the workers have a hard time talking/giving input to the people on top/CEOs. There is barely, if any, communication between them. Metropolis does a great job exposing this problem in our society. There is a separation of the "thinkers" and "workers" with the thinkers living high above ground and the workers down below. This huge separation is there in real life also. Metropolis shows the outcomes of no communication, like the rebellion, which in the end destroyed everyone. The only solution is to have a mediator that can help both sides understand and work with each other. I think today's society could really learn and benefit from this film.

Also, after the explosion in the beginning, what was happening with the workers going into the Moloch? Where they being thrown in or..?? I'm still a bit confused on that part.
