Metropolis

If you want to have a mind blowing experiance, take acid and watching Metropolis. This movie was crazy for its time. and I don't mean that it is the stupidest movie ever, I mean it was hughe for its time. Everything is on another scale. The set where huge, the score was huge, the action was huge, even the acting is huge (but thats because its silent, and well everything you do has to be huge).

Take the sets, they spent so much money on these sets, and I don;t need a book or someone to tell me this, I just know. You comapre it to any other picture of its time and you will notice that they dont even have sets this extreme. Metropolis, really opened the scope of what could and could not be filmed. I enjoyed this film because it pulls you in from every direction, trying to make you think and entertain you at the same time, which is a hard thing to do back then and even for todays audiences.
