• A view of 2026 from 1927 4 minutes

  Metropolis, a 1927 sci-fi movie, is set in a dystopian capitalist society where a whole city is owned by Joh Frederson. The story revolves around his son, Freder Frederson, wandering around the city having an adventure. To put it simply. It’s about class struggle. Maybe faith. At one point, I thought it’s an anti-capitalist movie and at another point, I thought it’s anti-communist… but maybe it’s both or neither.. it’s just a movie.

  I started it out of curiousity to get a perspective on what people thought of as super futuristic in 1927. The movie is said to be set in 2026. The year I’m currently writing this in. It’s 18th January, 2026. It feels a little surreal that people 100 years ago dreamed of this time and made stories about it. I’ll go over the technology of Metropolis (as much as I could understand it) in this blog article.
