Just because the ending is shitlib doesn't mean that the middle doesn't matter and can't have radical tendencies.
Shakespeare is similar - all his plays close with the reassertion of state power and state ideology. Does that entirely paper over the radical elements in the middle? <--- shamelessly stolen from Jonathan Dollimore's "Radical Tragedy."
Don't let a shitty (ideological) ending ruin an amazing and visionary movie.
Some dumbshit just finished watching Metropolis, huh?
I've been told to watch this movie a lot but holy wow that's some shitlib shit
Makes sense for German Expressionism in Weimar Germany. They see fascism and want to negotiate a deal with it to stop the commies
It's not all bad.
