Old Films

         Most  people would think that old film movies are boring. If you put real close attention to what is going on it can possibly be entertaining. If you just look through it and don't try to understand it, then you make it boring. I will write about an old film movie then you can say if it sounds interesting.

Metropolis:
         There is a town far below the earth's surface, there lay the workers. Working, changing shifts, and rushing. Up above them are rich people, don't know they even exist. The head Joh Federson, the son Freder. There Freder is playing all around. Then a girl named Maria comes with all these children and says, "These are your brothers!" Freder doesn't know what is going on, he searches for her and discovers the town. He sees all these workers rushing following what his dad had ordered (exactly how his dad wants them to). The temperature rises from the machine, the workers worrying, rushing. The machine explodes! Freder gets scared and bumps his head. He imagines all the workers being sacrificed in what they call "THE MOLOCH MACHINE!" The workers sacrificed, the back up workers sacrifice, all the people workers sacrificed. Freder stops imagining and runs his limo and orders the driver to go to his father.

    His father busy thinking about his city, Freder explains to him what he saw. Joh turns the  man that is in charge of the workers town, Josaphat. Fires him in a matter that no one has been fired before and becomes a worker. Freder runs after him and Josaphat becomes his assistant. He continues in the search for the women and trades lives for a worker working on the clock.

     There is this old house where a man named Rotwang, an inventor, lives. Joh goes and visits him as he is waiting he opens a curtain and sees a pedestal. A pedestal of a women named Hel, his wife. Under it reads, "Born for my happiness and mankind's blessing, lost to Joh Frederson. Died giving birth to Freder, Joh Frederson's son." Rotwang notices and quickly closes the curtain and shows Frederson that for him Hel is still alive. Rotwrang lost a hand building what he calls, "Machine-Man." The reason Joh came was that he found a map from the workers pocket. They go to where the workers are and find Maria. Maria is like a sort of priest for the workers. She begins to say that they must wait for the mediator/heart to fight for is right, Freder is there too. After she is finished Freder goes up to her and says, "You called me, now here I am." Rotwang and Joh think that Maria is the perfect person for their plan to fail in. Rotwang chases her and finally catches her and makes the robot look exactly the same as Maria. He keeps Maria and sends out the robot to tell the workers to fight for what is right and drives them crazy. Freder comes in and says, "YOUR NOT MARIA!"  The workers fight Freder until they think that they killed him and they go to get their wives.

     They take the elevators to go to the machines and destroy every one of them. They go rushing to the heart of the machines. the destroy it and cause a flood in their town not knowing it. mean while Maria escapes searches for them and finds all the children running from the flood. She rings a bell that is in the middle if the town and all the kids enter in panic and she tells them to calm down. Luckily Freder comes and tries to save them. Josaphat tells them to take the kids to the safe refuge. After that all the parents get mad and go after the wrong person. Finally Maria escapes and they get the right Maria/Hel, they burn her down. Then Rotwang sees Maria and chases her around, then Freder sees and lets Maria escape. Joh sees Freder fighting Rotwang and gets worried. Rotwang loses his balance and falls to his death. Then Freder gets Grot (the leader of the machines) and his dad and asks to reunite. So it is true the mediator between head and hands must be the heart.
