If You Want To See Your Future As A Worker Rent And Watch "Metropolis".

Last edited Wed Jan 4, 2017, 06:36 PM - Edit history (1)

Fritz Langs sci fi classic "Metropolis" is a good move to watch to see the future of the working class in this country. If you disregard the positive ending altogether about workers and corporate masters coming together the move is just so prescient for its time. The movie is available in disc and has been restored very close to its original.

That movie is an excellent metaphor for what corporations are up to today.

ADDENDUM. You can access the movie on Youtube.
