Fantastic!! Moroder's is the BEST! If you don't hear it your Tone deaf plain and simple! I understand wanting to preserve the origional version too. But I love this version the best. I saw it first time when I was 10 years old on a 35inch RCA IDTV through Klipsch horn speakers in full sony vhs HighFi surround sound back in 1992, and it was fantastic. Movie had a huge affect on me and scared me quite a bit too. Very auditorialy beautifull and disturbing depending on the scene.
I've seen this clip a hundred times, and its old and cheesy and stylized like the 80+ year old silent film it is, and she doesn't even kiss him on the lips, and I still get chills at its evocation of love and devotion. Fritz Lang ruled. And, yes, Pat's song IS helping. Doesn't get in the way at all....
I felt your pain for 24 years. Giorgio Moroder's Metropolis Redux DVD is the way to go. Gilchrist is fanatic about Moroder's version. He took the laser disc soundtrack and recreated the visual using the cleaner 2001 prints, a little of the Moroder version and spent 2 years on it. It looks better then my VHS copy ever did. I give it 11 out of 10 stars.
Thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU! I've been a HUGE fan of Moroder's version of Fritz Lang's "Metropolis." I have a VHS of the movie, and I hope someday it will be released on DVD. Here's to wishing!
The Moroder version was released on DVD as a limited Edition Steelbook and as a US-Region Blu-ray. I bought the steelbook and received it today. No fake, it's REALLY the Moroder version I had been after for so many years!
To the recently rediscovered and remastered version of the film i'll let you finish... But Metropolis with the Giorgio Moroder composing is one of the greatest films of all time!
The whole, uncut movie has been discovered in Argentina! They hope to restore it and show it in theaters. But for now, this remains my favorite version of the movie, with Patti's song being my favorite tune.
Yep, I ordered it yesterday. It looks like he has done a great job for a privateer, and at this stage, it's the closest we will get to a formal DVD transfer. I went to post the link here yesterday, but the You Tube Spam software wont allow it. Best wishes all.
As per the second post. It's now been reformatted, digital music sound track, and on DVD. Gilchrist Anderson, Redux Metropolis , do a search on the web for him. You Tube won't allow me to post his web site.. (I have a copy and it's superb. He's also a really nice bloke. Get a copy while they're still available.
This part in the film has the best version of Hears my Heart with lyrics and style not on the official soundtrack. Well done in uploading this quality of a classic of a classic.
You can still find the 1984 Moroder version of this movie on ebay with a little bit of luck. There is one copy selling on ebay for the next 5 days. It is getting harder and harder to find.
Read that the restored full version will most likely be completed sometime in 2010. They'll use the original 1927 soundtrack for that one. I think I have the Moroder version on a VHS tape somewhere - I need to find it - I'm another that hopes that at some point this version makes it to DVD as well.
Can't believe I'm being sucked in to this, but Metropolis CD back cover, song 2, 'Here's my Heart' Pat Benatar 4:54 1984 Here's My Heart produced by Neil Geraldo, Peter Coleman and GM. Lyrics Pete Bellotte. Must be a typo :)
This is true Blahbevava. I also saw this version of the film when I was 10 and had a morbid feel to it. The mix of archaic/new - old images and new music was extremely affecting. The oppression that the film's characters experienced was heightened in this way. I prefer films to be shown in an unedited and untampered way but Moroder's version was certainly a vast improvement on the 80-ish minute version with a unappealing jazz score that I saw years later.
There were 2 tracks not included on the Soundtrack too. They are called 'Robot Dance' and 'Obsession'. They were only available on the 'B' sides of a couple of 45 RPM singles from the movie. Both 'B' sides are also Studio recordings, not the versions used in the movie. I have both and found them on the back sides of "Love Kills" (Freddie Mercury) and 'Here She Comes' (Bonnie Tyler).
I have the movie on Blue Ray. There is also some guy that has redone the Moroder version with better quality visuals from prints that were discovered AFTER 1984.
@mrscry I know what you mean! Let me assure you, if you search a bit in the internet there is a 2CD-version of the REAL soundtrack wich you can not buy but download. AND: This one features the original versions we know from the movie, not this unfamous CD-version wich was released ;-)
this 1984 version was very controversial and both Siskel and Ebert didn't like it. But, I liked it, they "restored" some scenes. Good songs on the soundtrack.
@dimarioso , please tell me the torrent i love this movie with the moroder soundtrack :) but i have been searching for a torrent and just cant find any good ones :(
My gripe about the Giorgio Moroder version of Metropolis is that it does not do justice with regard to Friz Lang's original screenplay at all. This version claims to have used the original script and novel by Thea von Harbou to recreate Metropolis as closely to the original as possible, and it didn't. This version was not even close to it. I like the songs and some other things that were done here, but the reediting and writing recreates Metropolis into something else, apart from Lang's vision.
the sweetest kiss ever to be filmed
The most romantic, beautiful song and video I have ever seen
The ending of this film always makes me tear up. Possibly it’s the use of this song over that part of the movie. BEAUTIFUL
The most operatic Pat ever got.
One of the greatest love songs ever written.
+I'm Lynda this song makes you cry
It's so much better than the studio version that does not soar the way that this one does.
@@lynda1963 We agree. This version definitely soars.
Beautiful and relaxing. My favorite silent film.
This is the best of the incomplete packages of "Metropolis."
This is one of the most beautiful things I ever saw in my life.

So gorgeous
2 minutes and 5 seconds of Sonic Bliss- along with the beautiful film footage- wish it could go on forever!

la version culte de Morover que je ne me lasse pas d'écouter et de voir tellement elle éveille de profondeurs en moi. Bisous Pat!
Gorgeous...

This still gives me chills... so beautiful. Thanks so much for uploading it !
It was only released on DVD in Greece. I had a copy, but sold it.
To the recently rediscovered and remastered version of the film i'll let you finish... But Metropolis with the Giorgio Moroder composing is one of the greatest films of all time!
Masterpiece
i was able to find a torrent of the Moroder version recently after an evening of searching, its great
Now that's what I call a super really romantic moment right there when two couples are deeply in love
@Bpothik I so agree! One of the first films I ever saw in my life, and still one of my favorites.
The whole, uncut movie has been discovered in Argentina! They hope to restore it and show it in theaters.

Pat Benatar trained as an opera singer before turning to rock and roll.

Get a copy while they're still available.
You must use torrent´s to download a dvd version. I already have it and it looks great and sounds wonderfull.
This part in the film has the best version of Hears my Heart with lyrics and style not on the official soundtrack. Well done in uploading this quality of a classic of a classic.
This version is definitely superior than the soundtrack one.

0:48 ...is she not the most-beautiful thing you've ever seen?
The Giorgio Moroder version is still the best.
Can't believe I'm being sucked in to this, but Metropolis CD back cover, song 2, 'Here's my Heart' Pat Benatar 4:54 1984

Stunning.
Thanks for posting this. I have the original Video. Why won't they put it on DVD?
A classic.

This movie is now on DVD..Redux by GIlchrist Anderson..just enter into search engine.
@Bpothik its being released on dvd soon only in region 1 though :(
@PasseportPimlico
Huzzah! Great news! There is much rejoicing.
@mrscry

@dimarioso , please tell me the torrent i love this movie with the moroder soundtrack :) but i have been searching for a torrent and just cant find any good ones :(
@BassPlayerSusan NO WAY! I just picked one up in a charity shop for £1, and that was with 2 other VHS.

This version claims to have used the original script and novel by Thea von Harbou to recreate Metropolis as closely to the original as possible, and it didn't. This version was not even close to it.

@cubdukat I ended up paying close to $50.00 for a VHS copy from Amazon. Totally worth it.
voz de ensueño....
Moroder invented TikTok edits
"Original score?"
Hey numbnuts, Metropolis was originally a silent movie.
