set design for Metropolis

The set design for Metropolis was stunning, hard to believe it released in 1927

lighting

The lighting for Nosferatu was inspiring, this scene alone was so cool to see!

title cards

The title cards for Nosferatu were unique, unlike any I've seen in other silent films. I also believe that the title cards for the film were very fitting for the tone of the film

Nosferatu himself

The character for Nosferatu is incredible. (I'd have to say the 1922 character design for the guy is better than the 2024 one)

ARCHITECTURE!!

Look at this!

B&W

rph3q — 2025-02-14 19:53:17 UTC

I know they'd have color back then, but I really liked that both of the films were in black and white, though I'd be interested in seeing Metropolis in color because of all the cool set designs

he's creepy!

rph3q — 2025-02-14 19:57:30 UTC

The character was really creepy!

poster design

rph3q — 2025-02-14 20:02:42 UTC

I looked up the film after watching to learn some more and this poster caught my attention!

cinematography!

rph3q — 2025-02-14 20:05:33 UTC

Cinematographer F.A Wagner did an incredible job.

poster design 2

rph3q — 2025-02-14 20:13:04 UTC

Another poster design that caught my attention for being incredible!

storyline

rph3q — 2025-02-14 20:14:36 UTC

I thought the concept of Metropolis was different for its time period. I enjoyed it.

characters

rph3q — 2025-02-14 20:17:39 UTC

This scene freaked me out a little...

cinematography part 2!

rph3q — 2025-02-14 20:20:32 UTC

Cinematographers Karl Freund, Günther Rittau, and Walter Ruttmann's work on Metropolis was inspiring!

His dedication to Ellen was a little funny to me.

Metropolis (1927) vs Megalopolis (2024)

rph3q — 2025-02-14 20:26:48 UTC

I didn't realize that Megalopolis was inspired by Metropolis until I finished watching Metropolis.

dialogue

rph3q — 2025-02-14 20:29:58 UTC

I'd be interested in seeing Metropolis again but not as a silent film.

similarities

rph3q — 2025-02-14 20:31:45 UTC

The similarities between the 1922 and 2024 film of the same name are incredible. Of course they have differences but it was cool to see how much they included versus left out.

I need to know...

rph3q — 2025-02-14 20:34:38 UTC

I need to know if anyone remembers this scene that they included in the episode of Spongebob😂 (season 2, episode 16: the graveyard shift)

Learning from my peers :)

rph3q — 2025-02-14 20:48:20 UTC

We had a lot of similairites in our posts and overall, I loved the design and content of their post.
