Remember getting this when it first came out on dvd, my girlfriend at the time came over, thought it was a game and put it in the PlayStation 2. She absolutely fell in love with Anime after watching it. Great film, I’m going to dig it out!
When you say “my girlfriend at the time” does this story have a happy ending or a sad ending? If happy then congratulations mate! If it’s sad then keep your head up king
I saw it on HBO repeatedly as a kid. It was pretty haunting I tell you. Whenever the theme came on my cousins would ask me to switch the channel. Good old days. I remember discovering an anime tv channel here in Hungary a few years later. The animes back then had that somber mood to them. Really put a teenager's mind to work haha. I'm still in my twenties but it's a regular pastime of mine to revisit these visual works of art.
what a beautifull opening i recently watch this movies I thought I would never remember the existence of this movies but one on my friend ask me about that movie that was a trauma experience when i was young finally the movies is very plesant and interesting with good music but im still shock by some extracts thank for upload it
One of the BEST openings in anime or film history! From the sounds of Duke Red's footsteps as he ascends his pedestal, to the imagery of his speech where it goes from sepia tone and film damage to vibrant and technicolor!
*_The time:_* The near future. *_The place:_* The most advanced civilisation on the planet. *_The occasion:_* A celebration. Of Progress, and technology.
At this moment, we as a nation are about to touch the stars. I trembled in the honor of announcing the combination of mankind's long history interlexical and scientific achievement. Yesterday, our power spent the Earth. Today, it's to illuminate the heavens... He stands forever. On Saga race!
Honestly, the live action version is Fritz Lang's Metropolis. I know its a silent black and white german film, but its the inspiration of this film 100%
Yeah but while it is a fantastic visual spectacle it is lacking a bit due to things like "what the heck are the worker's building/what are the machines they are slaving over do?" and some elements from the book being left out- like all the religious and occult symbolism and comparisons, which not only gave you something to focus on instead of what the heck all the toil was actually doing, but expanded the social conflict to include the conflict between religion/superstion and science. On top of that bits like conversations between the leader of metropolis and his mother flesh out his characterization. Basically the book expanded a bit on the range of the conflict and tied together the whole theme while the film let the visual spectacle take center stage and while its great it does have some flaws. This version of metropolis has its own themes with the whole, robots and the nature of what they mean for the working man being there while the original metropolis book and movie only had the one robot, who was mostly there to manipulate the public for her creators plans.
I want some help. I know the ziggurat is decorated with culture/knowledge writings in the facade. But what is the: "Poem to the god of sun" down the big: "FREEDOM PHYLANTROPY EQUALITY JUSTICE XX" in the entrance just before the blimp?
Half correct. Long story: A single still from Lang's film inspired a then-green Osamu Tezuka to write a original story about robots. This Metropolis is an amalgamation of Lang's film and Tezuka's Manga, with screenwriter Katsuhiro Otomo also adding in themes from his Akira manga/film (specifically the arrogance of man and inevitability of violence and calamity)
I hate to be the party pooper here, but there must be someone in this world who hates Japanese anime as much as I do. I only came here cause I saw it referred to with the Fritz Lang original which was brilliant.
I hate anime but this film is straight up incredible its beautifully animated. None of the tropes of modern anime with the gratuitous boobie and panty shots, laughable dialogue, awful designs, stupid scenes being played straight, cringey tropes like those high pitched women with baby voices that people who have never touched a woman always have as their profile pictures. I will be the first to say anime sucks but this film is incredible, i would definitely recommend it.
This movie deserves so much more praise it’s amazing
The style reminds me of Astro boy, and no joke my mom said that it’s animation reminded her of the Anastasia movie
Dieselpunk is such an underrated genre
Leonardo Klotz The guy my wife bought her latest ukulele from is a dieselpunk artist. Very interesting stuff he puts out.
I needa see this film
Is it something that makes you feel like you’re in a time between the 1920s and the 1980s?
@@Crusader-Ramos45 More like the 40s and 50s. More Industrial Power than Steam Finesse.
“Dieselpunk?” Never heard it out quite that way before

That's some pretty amazing sound design with the bass and step sounds.

With 1920’s dieselpunk aesthetics.
I remember that advert on a Pokémon dvd I think 😅 love this film

noooo really?!? you' re a genius bro
the animation is stunning
God, this movie made me cry
PERFECTION
Was barely a teen when this came out. First exposure to how our world and species is both wonderful and terrifying in equal measure
My friend’s kid used to say “Our Cigarette!” when I would watch this movie with them. 😂
I own the Blu Ray/DVD combo pack.
Sadly it remains unopened on my shelf doing nothing.

There belief that they can posses the power of the universe and be "god like level"
@@SirCavemaninthewest No. The real life source. Where that paragraph come from.
Let me guess, this is an animated remake of the Fritz Lang movie?

What is this thing your man called a Ziggurat?
A Ziggurat is a huge type of citadel or Temple the ancient humans made back in Mesopotamia.
@@ShadowSonic2 Well this one must've taken decades to build. Looks like it was created to show off this city's strength and power.
It was a reference to the tower of Babel.
Inspirada en Metrópolis de Fritz Lang
Can you recommend this type of anime?
pluto and astro boy
@@adamirfan7496 I watched both of them😭
@@yokkardesimyok9292 Ergo Proxy?
Gostei
No relation to the other metropolis movie
Wasn't the manga an adaptation of the original film?

@@dvdcopyofsharktaleVEVO There was an adult magazine in it, but it was barely detailed.
