Metropolis 1927 scene in colour featuring Kraftwerk
Die Roboter (The Robots) by Kraftwerk.
Originally released in 1978. The single and its B-side, "Spacelab", both appeared on the band's seventh album, The Man-Machine (1978).
A later version of Die Roboter is almost nine minutes long, it was remixed and re-released in 1991.
A film so ahead of its time, directed by Fritz Lang, Metropolis was made in 1927 and is based on the 1925 novel, Metropolis by his wife, Thea von Harbou. (Exactly a century ago).
Set in the future a century later 2026, wealthy industrialists rule the futuristic city of Metropolis from high-rise tower complexes.
The clip here shows an incredible dance sequence performed by Brigitte Helm that signifies man's lust towards materialism, sexual immorality, artificiality and a false empty superficial future - the dancer is a creation of man, a type of humanoid-machine hybrid cyborg totally absent of any conscience or soul and is compared to and warned of being the Mark of the Beast or the Whore of Babylon from the Bible's final Chapter of Revelations.
As the inventor points out what to expect to Men, particularly of power and wealth, they become entranced and bewitched by her dance and start worshipping this new being which eventually leads them astray spiralling down towards their own demise as demonic spirits descend upon them and dance to the inevitable tune of death.
He lies there in a state of pitty, helplessness, sickness, sorrow and pain, but just as he finally realises what is happening, it becomes all too late.
The future of Metropolis is set as
man's destiny turns to dust.
Metropolis is now widely regarded as one of the greatest, most significant and most influential films ever made.
