Metropolis (2001) | Movie Review | Second in Metropolis Series

At the end of the 1940's, Japanese artist, Osamu Tezuka released a comic titled Metropolis. He received slight inspiration from Fritz Lang's 1927 sci-fi masterpiece, but over 50 years later, a critically acclaimed team of Japanese filmmakers decided to adapt Tezuka and Lang's vision together in one truly remarkable anime. Despite this anime film not being as famous as the likes of Ghost in the Shell, Akira and Your Name. this hidden classic uniquely brings to life the thoughts of German impressionism from 80 years past, Biblical symbolism and Eastern theology in one mind-bending presentation. Join Corbin and Allen as they review Osamu Tezuka's Metropolis!

Join the discussion-Comment below! Question after the show: Would you rather watch the 1927 metropolis or the 2001 metropolis? Or are they just too different?
