So what's the deeper spiritual or occult meaning of this movie?

The film is a butchered mess, so I wouldn't bother looking for any deep meaning there.
>>219881805You are an idiot. Marvel movies might be more your speed.

Star of David. Jews are evil. Sometimes they like to tell you openly.

>>219881698It's Nazi propaganda from Thea von harbou. The workers rebelling represents Communists and the cold hearted city manager is the capitalists. As the mediator of head and hands, Fritz or whoeber represents Hitler and NatSoc ideology.
>>219881698
Von Harbou did end up joining the NSDAP, but Metropolis was pretty overtly a Christian movie. >>219883132>>219882170It's a pentagram not a hexagram, dumbass.

>>219881698Technology will lead the way
>>219881698Technology is satanic
>>219883522The film was written by his Nazi wife Thea von Harbou who also authored the book.>>219883187"Mediator between the head (capitalist elite) and hands (workers)" only makes sense as Nazis in this context especially as it was written by his wife who opposed the Commie revolutions in Europe at this time. The film has no relation to Christianity outside of whore of Babylon/ tower of Babel visual imagery.
>>219881698The factory didn't really look that bad, it was just opening and closing valves.
>>219883935See, I always read it as "the solution to class struggle is the mediation of honest men with decent, implicitly Christian, values."
>>219881698>Anon, let's watch really old movies tonight to satisfy my fragile ego!>Sure thing, dude. Put on Citizen Kane, I've never finished it for outside reasons, but it was fantastic from what I've seen.>No, we'll watch metropolis>Uh, I don't know if that's a good idea.>We'll watch metropolis and that's it>Ok...>*Getting filtered* what's the meaning of this, anon?>Something about war between the classes with some christian allegories>*falls asleep*>*have to sit through the entire flood segment of people walking around*Yeah he got his revenge for when I made him watch vanilla sky.
>>219883969The Nazi reading made most sense to me because the Nazis at this time positioned themselves as a "third position" outside of capitalism and Marxism and that would make a lot of sense for that ending.
>>219881755I literally just commented in the Polanski thread asking if the woman in The Ninth Gate is the Whore of Babylon and then I see this post. I'd never heard that name until this week. What are the chances

>>219881698Technology is based and is the pathway teached by Thy Gods, so we, humans, can become Gods too.
>>219884562Probably because she (or more likely, what is symbolizes) will be revealed soon and everyone can feel it in the collective consciousness
>>219883163Hey I don't remember these dudes showing up?
>>219883975Why post such brutality?
>>219881698Crafting a 'spirit vessel' for a demon to inhabit. This has been an occult magical practice for millennia. Some say AI is a modern version but people need to chill.
It truly is a genuine masterpiece.

>>219881698No idea. It's extremely obtuse and doesn't spell anything out for you.
>>219881698It is just a movie dealing with the rapid changes in society namely urbanization, technological advancement, blue collar workers and rising inequality. Same as City Lights or Modern Times and a bunch of other stuff from that era.
