Response to Alavi Karim re: Metropolis

I agree with your statements/analyses about metropolis. Reaching out to the wealthy also seems to fit into the grand scheme of the movie, in order to fortell the future class relations. It was a very humanitarianistic movie. Fritz Lang must truly have been worried about the state of socioeconomic relations between wealthy and poor in Germany.
It seems that media is the way religions can be spread between people. The bible and the torah were books, and films can start the start of belief in the state. This is propaganda in both regards.
