METROPOLIS 1927 - In Color
Фильм және анимация
Years ago i watched a colorized version of Metropolis and decided I'd learn how to colorize movies. So I thought I'd take a stab at doing my own version of the movie that started my interest in colourization.
Directed by Fritz Lang
Starring Alfred Abel Brigitte Helm Rudolf Klein-Rogge Gustav Fröhlich

Almost a century old and still way better than most modern sci-fi. I love the art deco and the powerful music. And the added colors look great

@@shawngreene3524 it's a masterwork of expressionist cinema from 1920's germany. Definitely ahead of it's time, too, it is one of the earliest science-fiction movies ever made, and the practical effects they used for it as absolutely ground-breaking for the era (remember it was directed in 1927).

It was totally worth it, the coloring process. It did real justice to the film, a true, timeless masterpiece.
No matter of imaginations, future scientific predictions and beautiful AI android, it is unbelievable this is a 1927 movie. No Exagerrateingly to say that it compares equally with most sci-fi film today's in entertainment, surpassed many in coming anticipations.

I can imagine that this movie was one of George Lucas's influences.
I really like Metropolis because it is such a prominent example of how the 1920s portrayed "Sci-Fi" and one can make really interesting contrasts between Metropolis and what came about later (Star Trek, Star Wars, the Dune film) and the way Sci-Fi has evolved over almost 100 years.
This must be the greatest cinematic achievement. Accomplished so much with so little. Fantastic images that were beyond the imagination of most people in that era, a story so beyond dreams told only with images and music, no spoken or written word.
I never saw this all too prophetic movie and now a great goal to finally see it. This was very well colorized and nice resolution! You guys are at the top of your professions to do such an impeccable job! THANKS!
This is incredible! The emotions are conveyed so strikingly through facial expressions and movements, and that womans eyes!!! Just WOW!!!
Funny enough these effects still hold up extremely well today, Metropolis was way ahead of it's time
This was an amazing colorization of this movie if it was available I’d gladly buy it-. Bravo sir you have done an amazing job on this clip, this lucky science fiction classic is glad to have found you and your talent. Thank you for sharing
*WOW BRO.... THIS HAS TO BE THE BEST COLORIZATION I EVER SEEN... FACT*

It's always facinating to see classics in colour. But the shame about it is that it's to the detriment of the lighting which was one of the most important and thought of aspect of black and white movies.

Indeed, and I think Fritz Lang might have objected to coloring the steam yellow, since the use of mustard gas had killed scores of allied troops during WWI which would have been in recent memory at the time of this film’s release.
Esto es magnífico! Fue en su tiempo el "Blade runner" de la época. La película de Fritz Lang, seguirá siendo obra maestra absoluta!
Imagine going back to 1927 with a color copie. Such a classic movie.
This is by far my favoeite colorization of _Metropolis._ It REALLY kept the colors in the Art Deco style, and I loved how the colors danced between silver and gold during evil-Maria's seductive nightmare dance. And the EYE SCENES! Wow! It was amazing to look at in the original, but adding realistic color... Man...
this movie is so good, especially for its time!
This isn't only a film. Watch close, think, and you'll find more than a film.

Your colorization is *much* better than many. Excellent work. You also upscaled and removed scratches too, right?

Maybe I should not say it -but it remains a very impressive piece in colour - I would happily own both versions on Blur Ray

This film could be the greatest collections of imagery in motion picture. Ridley Scott made Blade Runner as an au mage to Fritz Lang’s Metropolis. This film could not be made today. Doubtful the audience would understand the genius and the message. Fritz Lang died in 1971 and knew we were headed to self destruction. I hope and pray he was wrong. Since I was a child I have never forgotten seeing this film. it took so many years to restore these beautiful images. this is why i made film my career. 44yrs and never has there been any film so powerful. Blade Runner is it’s stepchild. RIP Fritz Lang and thank you Ridley Scott for your affirmation of why this beautiful film is so special.

Why would the message be lost on today's audience? The concept of a prosperous society built on the backs of an oppressed and exploited lower class is still one of the most common tropes in cinema and television. Prince of Egypt, 12 years a slave, Elysium, the hunger games, V for vendetta, Arcane, into the badlands; the list goes on. Stop being pretentious and condescending.

It’s because they were more advanced in the 20s
I've seen many versions of the film on here. I did see one with dialogue and background sound. There was also discovery of the missing footage on 16mm. This is the best colour version I have seen. If we could get all this together we could have the complete movie with colour and sound. In 2 years it will be in the public domain.
The aesthetic of the cars at the end goes pretty hard
I watch this movie recently and now that it’s been brought to color. It looks amazing. The only reason I say recently is because I purchased a version on DVD that they told me was one of the very few left in existence. I might as well put it in a perfectly preserved case as a time capsule where German expressionism came from.
The color gives the movie life. I would be happy if you have the full movie♥️🙏
I never realized she had an inverted pentagram behind her 'throne'!

Amazing work on the color and this edit! It's a long movie, with a mysterious story of missing scenes. Would you consider restoring the entire thing? Huge project, but what movie deserves it more? This is more than 'colorized', this is a full restoration of the author's vision.

Thank you, I never planned to do entire movies but as I get faster with my technique I'm considering it. Metropolis is a great one to start with. Many classics from the early 30's will be public domain soon so there is a lot to consider.
this movie has loud prophetic hidden messages. OPEN YOUR EYES PEAPLE !
I get the general story, but it would be good to hear dialog explanation what I miss.
Impressionante!
So it apears this girls conciousness was uploaded into a silicon body of immortality.

Wait there was another colorized metropolis. I am aware of the Giorgio Moroder project where he had done just that and provided a more modern score akin to his style. Is that the version you were referring to?
Yes, a funny thought of a person about imagining the future, our current fantasies about the future must be just as funny...😅
