[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Metropolis?
Just got out of Metropolis and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

Hot Take: Metropolis's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Rewatched Metropolis last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

The cinematography in Metropolis is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Honestly, Metropolis would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Metropolis actually is?
Director clearly thought Metropolis was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.
