Metropolis is a 1927 German expressionist epic science-fiction drama film directed by Fritz Lang. Lang and his wife, Thea von Harbou, wrote the silent film, which starred Brigitte Helm, Gustav Fröhlich, Alfred Abel and Rudolf Klein-Rogge. Erich Pommer produced it in the Babelsberg Studios for Universum Film A.G.. It is regarded as a pioneering work of the science-fiction genre in movies, being among the first feature-length movies of the genre.
Made in Germany during the Weimar Period, Metropolis is set in a futuristic urban dystopia and follows the attempts of Freder, the wealthy son of the city's ruler, and Maria, a poor worker, to overcome the vast gulf separating the classes of their city. Filming took place in 1925 at a cost of approximately five million Reichsmarks, making it the most expensive film ever released up to that point. The motion picture's futuristic style shows the influence of the work of the Futurist Italian architect Antonio Sant'Elia.
The film met with a mixed response upon its initial release, with many critics praising its technical achievements and social metaphors while others derided its "simplistic and naïve" presentation. Because of its long running-time and the inclusion of footage which censors found questionable, Metropolis was cut substantially after its German premiere, and large portions of the film went missing over the subsequent decades.

This version of Metropolis is as complete as much as is now possible, and has the added attraction of key Colour sequences done in the style of the 20's Technicolor two colour process. Many big movies of this period had color sequences as an added attraction, but its high cost and technical difficulty restricted its use for some decades.

Here come the hounds
You'd better turn and fight, no place to hide
Ripped up inside
Tried your best, but you'll get no free ride
No reason to complain
You're just another one, it's all the same
We are all the same
Crack the whip of modern times
Come meet the dispossessed
Metropolis, you feeble bitch
Carving tombstones for the rich
Watch you fall down
We'll laugh as all your dreams we'll pound
This is the sound
Rock bottom
As you hit the ground
Disillusioned, feeling drained
You're just another one, it's all the same
Crack the whip of modern times
Come meet the dispossessed
Metropolis, you feeble bitch
Carving tombstones for the rich
Crack the whip of modern times
Come meet the dispossessed
Metropolis, you feeble bitch
Carving tombstones for the rich
Crack the whip of modern times
Come meet the dispossessed
Metropolis, you feeble bitch
