Fascinating film. Clearly whoever made it saw certain relationships unfolding, back then... too.

There is nothing new under the Aten!

Love that film!

But it is a German dystopian sci-fi movie, filled with German Expressionism film technique/filming.It's not anything at all to do with a "feminist movement", of which there was none, right after WW I, but rather an anti-authoritarian/anti-war film.

Sanger was a eugenicist; her activism was in wanting to rid the world of certain populations ( blacks especially, the poor, and those whose ethnicities she felt superior to ) and not to loose upon the world generations of the louche.

I’m not quite so sure what Metropolis has to do with the subject of feminism although it is a very great film as No Pardons says and stars the mesmerizing Brigette Helm in the dual role of the girl and the robot. Hey! Maybe, that’s it.
Most of the guys who are posting about “sluts” here, probably want a sex robot. But they’ll never find one looking like Helm.
