Leans Traditional
Primary
The film critiques the dehumanizing exploitation of the working class under extreme industrial capitalism, while also cautioning against the destructive chaos of unguided revolution, ultimately advocating for a centrist solution of mediation and understanding between capital and labor.
The film features a cast predominantly composed of white European actors, reflecting the cinematic norms of its time without intentional diversity in casting. Its narrative primarily focuses on socio-economic themes of class struggle and industrialization, rather than offering a critique of traditional identities through a modern DEI lens.
Secondary
The film uses strong Christian allegories, particularly through Maria's Christ-like role as a mediator and the narrative's emphasis on love and empathy, to present a positive vision for human connection and spiritual guidance. It contrasts these virtues with the dehumanizing aspects of unchecked industrialism.
Metropolis, a 1927 silent science fiction film, does not feature any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its narrative. The story primarily explores societal class divisions and the impact of industrialization, with all depicted romantic relationships being heterosexual.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Metropolis (1927) is an adaptation of Thea von Harbou's 1926 novel. The film's major characters, including Freder, Maria, and Rotwang, maintain the same gender as established in the original source material. There are no instances of characters being portrayed as a different gender than their canonical depiction.
Metropolis (1927) is the original cinematic adaptation of its story and characters. There is no prior established canon or historical figures to compare against, thus no instance of a character being portrayed as a different race than originally established.
