Metropolis!

So, while watching this movie, I got a lot of references to other sources of material, like Olympus, coal mines, executives/top floors, why did Rotwang keep both Maria's alive?  Einstein-mad scientist, hair, glasses, battle scene-war-soldiers carrying the wounded/dead, Egypt, the 5th Element movie, marching patterns, Fiddler on the Roof, witches and pilgrims, and everyone had a conscious.  So with all that in mind, I aslo got another forwarded email from my grandpa about soldiers and the war, so instead of writing about our discussion about the movie, I wrote something else to kind of incorporate all these aspects and it seems fitting!

Man makes machine

Man runs machine

Man makes village

Man runs village

Those in disagreement

Are sent under

Never to be heard from again

Separate parties

Same basic idea

One is right

And one is wrong

But who is to say

A woman

She is our creator

As well as our diminish

Revolt, revolution, war

Now is the time

You mustn’t wait

Go now

Take back what is yours

March like militia

Claim your victory

Past and future collide

Fight for the better

One man’s praise

Is another’s curse

Club of Sons, Eternal Gardens, myth of Olympus

All characteristics of the world

Saved from the head

By the reach of a hand

Mediated by the heart

Community is a gift

For the whole society
