Metropolis - Dance Scene
Вставка

- This is the famous dance scene, where the artificial Maria bewitches the mighty men of Metropolis. This video contains the new found footage from Argentin. The cut with all the eyes was considered a breakthrough in special effects technique.
In 1969, one of the classes I took while in the MFA program at UCLA was "History of European film". The instructor would speak for awhile and then we would watch a couple of films, supplemented by a guest speaker. One day he said, "Our two films for today are 'M' and 'Metropolis'. Our guest for today is the director, Fritz Lang."
He was very gracious, answered every question, and was the only man I've ever seen in person who actually wore a monocle.
And what the "M" is? Hitchcock's film?
@@LadyPrick German film starring Peter Lorre and directed by Lang. Remarkable early film about a child molester (played by Lorre). Both the underworld and the police combine to catch him.
Wow I’m speechless. This is amazing!
@Пафосный Кактус And what the "M" is? Hitchcock's film?
It*s not Hitchcock's film "Dial M for Murder", but simply "M" (German subtitle "Eine Stadt sucht einen Mörder"). The American title simply is "M", but there was a preliminary title "Murderers among us". Cf. @Alan Foster's description.
How wonderful!
Her: *dances like the sleep paralysis demon in the corner of my room at 3AM*
The men: we must *s i m p*
That dance was meant to mock you :D
😂😂😂
Just close your eyes and count to 3 and get up. You will have the experience.
@@johnnygizmo4733 Yeah I was in the middle of a nightmare once and this was on tv. Freaked me the hell out! 😂. Them dance moves tho!
I have the same!!! I paralyze and see ghosts or things like that, you can't move, your eyes are open you see everything but you're frozen, now it doesn't scare me anymore but as a kid I didn't understand why that happened to me, now it doesn't scare me anymore, it usually happens when I go to sleep very sleepy or I am very tired
Notice how her movements are jerky and awkward while still being alluring? That's because she's a robot in disguise dancing for the first time. She needed to be an incredible actress to capture that nuance.
To think that she was around 18/19 while filming it too! Just phenomenal.
Interesting, I never thought of that
Or a bad dancer
If a scene is going to feature a woman's body as a totally dehumanized sex object, it's probably best that it doesn't pretend it doesn't. Also, points for linking it to the Bible.
@@paulperkins1615 Also, she and her inventor are the villains and it's presented at evil that he's doing this to manipulate others.
Fritz Lang's Metropolis remains the greatest silent film ever made, bar none. I've watched it multiple times and with each viewing, I discover layers of fresh truths.
Yes , one of the best movie all the time , epic
Fritz Lang's Metropolis and Robert Wiene's The Cabinet of dr. Caligari IMHO.
I rather watch a modern IMAX film, thanks 😂
@@DrVonNostrand no one's asking you to be here i don't see why you think you're so important
@@jimmymillwood3411 never said I was important, but neither are you so I think I'll stay
hips don't lie.
Flanks don't lie
The men's reactions are what disturb me the most...
Hey, women would like the perfect lover, too! Imagine Data like a Russian ballet dancer? White nights, bolshoi!
Are you a woman?
Are you new to this planet?
The whole thing was pretty bazaar, though
Looks like scenes from Reefer Madness ...
That's the literal point...
Ham at it's most Cured.
The symbolism of this dance is amazing. It represents the transition from total rigidity and order to absolute freedom and chaos. Even her hand gestures at 2:50, pointing to God and the other hand angrily debasing sexuality, moving from her crotch to the ground. Just like the hand gesture on many iron maiden album covers. twisting around like she has no backbone, and hunched over. Like a person with no self order or self respect. She's like the opposite of the virgin queen, QE1. Instead of on her head QE1 wore the circlet around her neck, like a collar that represents self control. Here it's like the arrogance and falsity of seductive plumage on her head. at 3:16 a tilted cup held high like life from God being spilled. The see through dress looks like water being spilled. Even the pasties seem symbolic, like those french paintings of bare breasted women in battle, but with life and nurturing being blocked. At 2:38 the arms behind the back are meant to look like snakes dancing behind the back of a person, like they're controlling and guiding them - the rings on her fingers make her hand look like a snake head. In the beginning she's like a snake dancing behind the thin veil of civilization. It's no wonder this came out leading up to WW2. A great example of an opposite kind of dance would be Suzanne Ferrel in Don Quixote: ua-cam.com/video/lcV8A0Axkd4/v-deo.html. She keeps grabbing things and pulling them up with their hands. At 3:27 she does this with both hands, and moves from hunched shoulders and lascivious movements to twirling in a very upright posture, like converting something bad to good and lifting a heavy burden that becomes lighter as she lifts it.
All beautifully said.👌
I don't understand how a man can write a huge comment like this about a woman dancing & not realize that scene is about how those men--like you--project all kinds of meaning onto...a woman who is just moving.
The men are the origins of these ideas, these meanings, these lusts & illicit desires. They come from the men--in the film & from you--& are projected onto the woman.
Men constantly ascribe meaning to 'the other' without realizing they're simply projecting.
Leading up to WWII as in Weimar Germany. Berlin was a cesspool of degeneracy (slightly worse than the worst of today) which lead to an extreme backlash.
One of the great scenes of world cinema, Expressionism always manages to feel like a nightmare and here they represent that feeling in an actual nightmarish scenario. Those who restored this film made a great contribution to the world of art.
The original Death Eaters with an appearance by Voldemort and Beatrix when she was still a blond!
Very True
Didn’t this actress do an amazing job? Anybody whining that there were never any decent female leads before the last couple of years ought to look at this movie. She plays the saintly Maria on the one hand, and the evil robot Maria on the other. But in both roles she is incredibly athletic and kinetic, and hardly ever seems to stop running, fighting, swinging, jumping throughout the whole movie. The bonfire scene is stunning, Robot Maria laughing maniacally as she is carried by the crowd to her “execution” and as the flames build around her.
while I agree in praising the actress.... let's not pretend this role wasn't sexist. the whole Madona whore complex of maria where the female character has no agency and can't do anything by herself isn't the paragon of amazingness you think it is. ....
Nr1
It's reported that that was an actual fire on the set and Ms. Helm was made very uncomfortable during the filming. A trooper.
Robot’s name is Hel, after the Architect’s late wife. Hel is the Norse goddess of the Norse Underworld known as Niffelheim. The name was so feared that the Norse said “Go to Hel!” referring to the Goddess (Warden) who ran the jail. It had no terrible features except for being dreary and not as much fun as Asgard.
Yes she was so sweet and delicate , and down right wicked in a matter of seconds.
millionaires, apocolypse, the grim reaper, and demonic robotic AI, sounds like right now
Kelpy exactly
who's the AI?
@@NUKELEDGE "Maria", The dancer. I haven't seen the movie yet, but a big plot point is some dude wanted to 'Transfer' his dying wife essence to an automaton, so he hired a mad inventor to do it. The inventor created, what we call in the present, an AI. Iirc named after the dying wife, "Maria" a automatonic duplicatiant, 'Almost' like the original being she was made to mimic. The creation sequence of Maria is actually one of the other popular clips form this film. (See link)
ua-cam.com/video/IcReykfvqi4/v-deo.html
This is also why Maria's dance was jerky like a robot. She WAS a robot.
(As a side note, I think this was one of the earliest examples of AI and robotics in a feature length film. It even came before the story that popularized the term "Robot".)
@@matthewutech5970 not exactly.
Hel, the boss's wife, died when giving birth to his son, and both his husband and the mad scientist couldn't accept her death (they both loved her). So while the robot was initially made to become like Hel, the boss told the scientist to make it look like Maria instead (the prophet), so that she could destroy the Workers ambitions.
Yes it's a bit confused 😅
@@Valery0p5 Aye, thanks for the correction. I have yet to see this film in full, so I only know so much about the plot.
if your party isn't that lit, don't even bother to invite me
Vtmgll wait... this party already has demons, the seven deadly sins, the horsemen of the apocalypse, allucinations, Death and the whore of Babylon... What kind of parties you go to!?
@Krogg Fashe Seems, more like Catholics, would provide all that.

Honestly one of the greatest dances I've ever seen in a movie. I love that Helm skipped over all the usual "sexy" moves and went straight into this unhinged, inhuman mating dance. It's eerie and unsettling and raw.
totally agree and it's also extremely funny to watch haha!
@@boop7313 It's hilarious.
FINALLY I FOUND THE SUPER MARIO RPG
I saw this in a YTPMV by Coron 3 called “°”. Now I finally have the source.
Lang directed it but his wife wrote the story and the script, what a freaking genius.
Her name was Thea Von Harbou. She wrote novels directed and acted.
This movie was ahead of its time from every aspect from concept to script to execution to editing... This movie is amazing. Just watched it for the first time last night.
Jordan comments: "This movie was ahead of its time from every aspect from concept to script to execution to editing... This movie is amazing." ....... I disagree. NOTHING is "ahead of its time." The invention or event is ON TIME; a revolutionary innovation or trend-setting display; it is a new influence, but soon passé. I remember when cars began to come out with dual headlights "ahead of their time." "Citizen Kane" was ahead of its time.
@@wittwittwer1043 bullshit comment
First view here 😁 beautiful film . 2,5 hours flew away and for a 1927 movie in 2022 this means that a lot
I don't know why but this scene always scares me. The way she dances is so creepy
Desiree Santos hope you didn’t get sucked in 😉
Nothing creepy! Open up your sexual imagination!
It’s creepy alright. Walk across the street in a sundress and you’ll get that same reaction from random dudes lmao
if the picture is actually the person u responded to then she is just a child. your response is creepy!
@@faithbringshope She seems like she's a little a bit older.
3:29 This was already creepy enough, it didn't need a SPOOKY SCARY SKELETON!
lmfao!
PokeDude011 Especially playing a flute bone!!
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
It is ritual
that is a badass skeleton
Did uhh... did anybody else come from "super mario-o RPG, it is the only one just for me"
This is an amazing segment from the movie. The looks on the faces of the young men as they leer at the semi-nude dancer are really something. I don't understand why Fritz Lang was so critical of the movie later, supposedly calling it 'silly'. I've always thought it was brilliant. The music really adds a lot. It should not be watched in silence.
I believe Fritz Lang later considered the moral of "The mediator between the head and the hand must be the heart" as naive and childish. Not helped by the fact Metropolis was most like Hitler's favourite film and he saw himself as that mediating Christ like figure to Germany that Freder was for the city in the film.
Visually, I think it's rubbish. I love 2001 though.
The message was silly. Corporate power will never come to terms till it ruins us completely.
@@yargundev9772 I never paid that much attention to the message. My interest was the power of the imagery, the editing, etc.
1:22-1:26 Those are the most thirstiest mother fuckers I have ever seen! XD

TheGodParticle yes I know. I was stationed in Heidelberg Germany years ago when in the army. Hahaha.
Damn I'm old.
Every Saturday and Sunday, the local TV channels had movie days.
When it would rain or snow or just crappy weather, my Dad took the 3 of us to prepare the "living room" with the essentials.
Blankets and pillows, snacks and the must have "TV guide", my Dad was lost without one, I had to teach him about the "cable guide" it was more in-depth than the older TV guide.
Heck, he actually watched the cable guide because he couldn't make up his mind what to watch.
I set him up good.
The military channel, the old History channel
And all old movie channels I could find.
Westerns, WW I and WWII, korea, Viet Nam.
He watched it...
As I was going to work on a few projects, I was leaving...
He said
"Where you going? Don't ya wanna watch the old movies with your Dad"
Ohhhh low blow!
Hit me right in my soft spot for my Dad.
We pigged out on my famous snacks, and watched 4 movies that day, my wife didn't like it but TO Bad!
That's my Pops and it a ritual for us
BAD JuJu!!! Stay out if male bounding rituals.
After he got very ill, I wouldn't leave his side.
He passed away watching
" The Quite Man" with John Wayne.
He held my hand, and said Thank you, for watching TV with me
After a few tears
( Go on... I dare you to say something.)
And he slipped away.
He was 88 y/o.
I miss you Pops.
Man i'm crying - give a d
amn heads up before you deliver such a "low blow". Heartwarming story.
Too bad, not to bad. The Quiet Man, not The Quite Man.
@@judeirwin2222
Sorry about that, I miss spell when I get excited.
Fritz Lang gets me like that.
That you for the correction.
@@Buzbikebklyn1 Thats also how I want to go out..watching a great movie..
You and your dad were so blessed to have each other...
For inquiring minds, the conveniently 'missing' translation at 3:09 is as follows:
And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored animal, that was full of blasphemy, and had seven ten ogres. And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and had a golden cup in her hand. And written on his forehead a name, a secret: The great Babylon the mother of all abominations on earth. I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints.
Und ich sah ein Weib sitzen auf einem Scharlach farbenen Tier, das war voll Namen der Lästerung und hatte sieben zehn hömer. Und das Weib war bekleidet mit Purpur und Scharlach und hatte einen güldenen Becher in der hand. Und auf seiner Stirn geschrieben einen Namen, ein Geheimnis: Die grosse Babylon die Mutter aller Greuel auf Erden. Unc ich sah das Weib trunken dem Blut der heiligen.
THX~~
You're welcome :)
the whoar on the beast in the prophecy of Revelation
Revelation 17:Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: 2 with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. 3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5 and upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus:
It's actually "seven heads and ten horns" in 16th century biblical German. "sieben Häupter und zehn Hörner"
This scene and her transformation were some of my favourites in that movie.
It's a great piece of work with a lot more creativity behind it than the generic Hollywood bullshit you get to see nowadays.
Oh the movie is so grand c: it's nice to see another fan
Love this movie so much... :)
Super Mario RPG... It is the only one just for me..

Then i find out im stuck in genos maze
3:33 everybody gangsta until the skeletons start playing the flute
The femur of the species is more deadly than the mail.
@@theRealPlaidRabbit
But the skeleton was missing a tooth and nail.
EmmyDragon Artz, that phrase "everybody gangsta" ("..until the skeletons..") is too modern, need to find one which matches with the era of this video. How bout "they're right mad" ("..until the skeletons.."). A couple more examples:
1920s and 1930s: "Why that screwy dame! What's the idea!?"
21st century translation: "Damn that dumbass bitch! Whaz up wit dat!?"
It's interesting the differences between how people talked then compared to now. I watch alot of old films
Alvex Ok 1920s slang is one of my favorite things idk why but I just find it so funny
@@emmydragonartz, i like it too. I love films from about 1900 - 1950s in general, silent and sound, black and white and color. The 1930s have some of the very best, Fred and Ginger, Jean Harlow and Clark Gable, Janette McDonald and Nelson Eddie. I love the music from back then. The world was more formal, but also more charming and quaint. Films as explicit as this video though was rare.
It's from the visionary, original score by Gottfried Huppertz, which was re-recorded after "Metropolis" was restored. It's a soaring, romantic magpie of a score, with references to other music throughout. When Death appears in the scene above, for instance, Huppertz includes quotes from the Dies irae ("day of wrath") most famously used in Symphonie Fantastique. Great score for a great movie.
tbh, I found this scene really scary.
Me too:(
how? I found it funny.
Scary when you remember it later when you go home to a dark, empty house!
pilot. I found it disturbing as well as humorous. Incredible work.
@@esmermeza5793 hi
Along with another contemporary film, "Nosferatu", this one pioneered what would later become the "Reefer Madness School of Acting".
Brigitte Helm is bloody amazing.
Bleak Solipsism and nobody talks about that enough! Maybe because she and Lang so brilliantly succeeded that the actual woman behind the creation is completely eclipsed. But yes, she is amazing!
Super Mario RPG
It's like Charlie Chaplin meets David Lynch. Really delivers that heavy chest feeling.
"...that heavy chest feeling." What does Bette Midler have to do with anything?...lol
Hahaha nice comparison. It looks a little bit eraserheadish
@@ChupeTTe But Lynch is surrealist,and Metropolis is expressionism
@@TheodorStrauten
Metropolis is both,
Youre right, but that aestathics from Metropolis had a great influence on David Lynch.
"Charlie Chaplin meets David Lynch. That's a TERRIFIC analogy :D
Lang was a visionary and a creative genius; daring and provocative.
His wife wrote it
The great Fritz Lang classic movie"Metropolis", had such imagery.Fritz Lang's silent movies are among the best.
I love silent film, and Fritz Lang's. movie " Metropolis"- is my favorite.⭐
I watched this years ago for a high school media class. The dance scene is the only thing I remember lol
"Invites you to see a new erotic dancer"
All the invitation actually says is "...invites you to be his guest tonight"
+DRSNova The uploader is prob. working with theold US translation of the movie and is not directly translating the text himself
One of the greatest scenes in silent film/cinematic history
The men's reactions are hilarious to me. 😂
To me, what is stunning is how Fritz Lang understood that reality is 3 dimensional not 2D like other filmmakers of the day (and today) filmed. So, in this unreal depiction - depth, perspective just jumps out at the viewer. Spectacular! And THOSE TEETH, THOSE TEETH!
This movie is a masterpiece!
A few thoughts: One, this is my favorite scene, and favorite piece of music in the whole movie. Two: You know the guy is soft when he's delirious after only one 10 hour shift. Three: And to think, all the workers had been asking for all this time was a union rep.
This scene makes me wanna follow those patterns for the rest of my gaming life
If one looks 👀 at an earlier scene in the movie 🎥, Metropolis is suppose to be Babel. Maria is telling that tale to the religious crowd. In a later scene when Frederich is visiting the factory 🏭 workplace, he cries out “Moloch!” (It’s captioned)
Moloch is the Babylonian god that accepts baby sacrifices. The scene includes workers entering the machine mouth 👄 of Moloch.
So yes, the male reaction to Hel disguised as Maria is exaggerated. One must remember that “Metropolis” is a modern dystopian retelling of the tale of the Fall of Babel (Babylon).
The real Babylon fell to the invading army of the Gutians (Kurds today). The people of the Zagros mountains often were collected and gathered for sacrifice. Eannatum of Lagash is but one account of a Babylonian slaughter of these hill people. Eannatum is sufficient reference for Google if you desire to read about one of these slaughters

The thirst is real
By the end of the scene, my jaw had actually dropped in sheer astonishment

Such an accomplished film, technically and visually. A deserved classic. Unsurpassed.

you know what goes perfectly with this scene? play born this way when rotwang points haha
The 20s certainly was an...."interesting"....time for dance. I vote this be considered among the oddest dances of cinema ever recorded.
Katrin Elliott-Koroleva its not supposed to be a legitimate dance......
There is indeed a variation of this scene (at 3:31) when instead of lifting its arms up the skeleton swings the bone flute from side to s ide and then commences playing.
This film is a masterpiece. In technique, music, acting and the message
Unfathomable mysterious and marvellous dance
How do you solve a problem like Maria?
Something tells me that sending her to a fancy house to be a governess/step-mum won’t help in this case 😅

*super mario oh rpg-*
Metropolis came from Germany in 1927 where the people turned into robots from an evil scientist. Her dance is very creepy but yet fascinating though. This evil scientist wanted to use robotic people as slaves so he can be their dictator and manager. I am Bavarian decent but yet this early science fiction movie is bizarre and weird.
how does being a decent Bavarian figure into this?
Both disturbing and brilliant. I fall to my knees in adulation and awe. Genius and madness. What more can I say?
Those two often overlap
That's kind of weird to think that maybe everyone in these 4 minutes is probably dead by now
Especially because it was filmed in pre-Nazi Germany and many of the actors were Jewish, and Frit's Langs own wife was a crazy Nazi that chased him out of the country for being Jewish. :/
Probably? No. Definitely!
Fritz Lang was Jewish?? oh I understand why this film is like this!!!! (symbolism and stuff)
I'M NOT CLAUDE FROLLO ANYMORE probably, more like definitely, I mean if you were 30 in this movie you'd be 120 if you were 0 you'd 90 but I don't see any kids in this scene.
@SuperDuckyWho Please get your facts straight: First of all Fritz Lang was Roman-Catholic, although his mother was born Jewish and converted to Catholicism before Fritz Lang was born. But the Nazis never chased Lang out of the country! Quite the contrary, Goebbels himself admired him as filmmaker and offered him a job as head of the German film studio UFA. However Lang choose to emigrate instead in 1934.
And he divorced Thea von Harbou in 1933 already, so she wasn't his wife by then (and certainly had no say about her ex husband). And yeah, she was a member of the NSDAP, but probably more due to opportunistic/job reasons (like so many other artists) than true conviction. It's debatable if this makes it any better. But she also married an Indian immigrant later, so I guess at least she wasn't really a crazy, obsessed Nazi ideologist.
It's funny how much everyone is critiquing the concepts of film on here... I assumed most of us came here to watch sexy/evil Maria dance for us ;)
indeed, i am one of those jumbled eyes ... kudos to Brigitte for putting up with the brilliant but borderline psycho Lang ("I need to FEEL you in that robot costume:") ... she never worked with him again.

Amazing film...hard to imagine what it must have been like to be lucky enough even to see this film...
I think this is how my dad thought of my life when I went away to college.
Han pasado 88 años y lamentablemente el deseo de Fritz Lang todavía no se cumplió. El estaba seguro de que la humanidad para esta época habría encontrado en su corazón un equilibrio entre el capitalismo y la democracia.
Hasta el día de hoy, hay mas de 1300 millones de pobres que sobreviven fuera del sistema capitalista como pueden y otro 4400 millones de personas que dentro del capitalismo trabajan duro, para que unos pocos 1300 millones sean millonarios.
El mundo es todavía una gran Metrópolis.

The music is SO perfect for the scene. Not only that, it's a banger. A win-win.

One of the best sci-fi movies of all time and quite a bit ahead of its time as well. Judging from some of the other comments, it is still a bit ahead of some.

I just found my 2022 Halloween costume! I absolutely love this segment and her dance! The men's reaction remind me of how men behave on a regular basis in the presence of an attractive woman. Walk past any construction site and this is what you face.
This had to have been nothing less than forbidden pornography
back then.
I may or may not have watched this scene enough times to get the music permanently stuck in my head.
So like, it's a dance scene, a fan service scene, and a dream scene that also closes the act - can't get much better
nekopls fan service how?
1927: wow this is a good film!
2007: super mario rpg it is the only one just for me
The invitation says more along the lines of "C. A Rotwang asks you to be his guest tonight", instead of mentioning anything about a new erotic dancer as suggested in the annotation.
just thought I'd throw that out there
Art deco design and excellent original direction and vision - a masterpiece.
This movie blows my mind. It's timeless!! 😃
They cut out that one scene where a guy in the back "made it rain"

It's been over 35 years since I watched that with my little son. I can't remember anything about it anymore I think it's time to rewatch the whole movie. 💀

@FlyingMonkies325 all of them
That's the intention.
Pop idols have become so sexualized that now they seduce the masses, and create almost religious fanbases.
These are fake idols, abhorrent role models who just want to see the world burn. Fake Maria is a great prediction.
Remember the fall of the Roman empire and Baghdad?
Also, I need to mention how good the soundtrack is.
It's perfectly made for this scene. It's far more vibrant, energetic, vicious and "childish" than the rest of the movie's musical score.
This is for a reason, faster music with more modular and repetitive structures tends to create earworms easier than your standard orchestra. It's more pleasant to the ear but lacks a lot of the substance good music has, like fast food.
Today's pop music is the greatest example, with repetitive rythms and motifs. It's made to stick instantly but be forgotten in the long run. Just a trainwreck of both visual and auditive pleasure.
1:13 my friend yelled HIT THE GRIDDY!!!!! then we could not stop laughing for 5 minutes
Stunning dancer, very skillful.
Madonna does some of that evil Mariah stuff in the superbowl halftime show. I think it was 2010. Beyonce, too in one of her videos.
