{{quote|''"Having conceived Babel, yet unable to build it themselves, they had thousands to build it for them. But those who toiled knew nothing of the dreams of those who planned. And the minds that planned the Tower of Babel cared nothing for the workers who built it. The hymns of praise of the few became the curses of the many."''}}
Line 13:
This [[Troperiffic]] film is either the [[Trope Codifier]] or possible [[Ur Example]] for [[Ludicrous Precision|approximately 65.4%]] of [[Older Than They Think|science fiction tropes]]. Not to be confused with the [[Metropolis (anime)|anime film of the same name]], which is [[Suggested By]] but not adapted from it.
Also notable is the 1984 color-tinted restoration by composer Georgio Moroder, which is [[Keep Circulating the Tapes|only available on VHS and LaserDisc]] due to its [[Broken Base|controversial]] [[The Eighties|80's]] [[Notable Original Music|pop soundtrack]]. [https://web.archive.org/web/20130612141000/http://www.themortonreport.com/entertainment/video/kino-to-bring-giorgio-moroders-metropolis-to-blu-ray-and-dvd/ Until now, anyway.] Moroder's version is now available on Netflix instant streaming (alongside the full restored cut), and a DVD/BD release is soon to follow.
In the UK, a 2-hour cut of ''Metropolis'' is available for streaming on [[Love Film]].com .

Consequently, many find that [[Seinfeld Is Unfunny|Metropolis Is Unoriginal]]: This movie's tropes, characters, visual style, and special effects have been mimicked to the point of exhaustion. Ironically, on its release people criticized the plot for borrowing heavily from Victorian melodramas and other sci-fi stories; [[H. G. Wells]] in particular [https://web.archive.org/web/20080322055130/http://erkelzaar.tsudao.com/reviews/H.G.Wells_on_Metropolis%201927.htm felt he'd been plagiarized]. So some of it may be ''even older'' than people think.
