Metropolis (2002)

Best movie ever!

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The acting in this movie is really good.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

this movie is a robot-romance violence type of movie , it kinda reminds me of green lantern TAS with the relationship between a red lantern named razor and aya the robot . is this a prediction of the future ? where humans have a romantic relationship with bots and also will their be a group of people who will protest against robots ? possibly This movie had a decent plot and great scenery , its a hybrid of 2D animation with 3D animation which was quite enjoyable to watch the only thing i didn't like was the character design , they look like sonic the hedgehog design but it didn't bother me too much plus its just my perspective .. not really hating on the movie . i highly recommend you download this movie in 1080p via torrent with eng sub or dub (which ever you prefer) . i seen this online and its terrible quality it was barely watchable i had to download it from kickass torrent .

After a long intro, we get a interesting little piece like a dictator and then a futuristic looking town I could only believe was based on New York. Something about this show makes me feel that he was trying to comment on the social structure and where it's going. It's the natural thing of people in high power pushing down the lower class as they head to the top.Each of the characters that actually have a big part to play in this show actually has nice personalities even though they sometimes fall into a norm. Tezuka always had an interesting way of mixing robots and human characteristics. His robot creations are unlike anything you really ever seen before this time for the most part. They have a playfulness even if the story is supposed to get rather dark. Tezuka always had a reason behind his stories and this is no exception. The story talks about what separates man and machine, what it really means to be human, and all that wonderful stuff.The Artwork is definitely Osamu's style with its large noses and hair that mostly falls over the eyes. Everything about it is rather fun looking and interesting. A lot of characters are strange proportions with rather thick legs, hands about the same size as gloved hands and so on. The colors are mostly bright and colorful even in the darker parts, of the show, the rust pretty much showing up brightly. There is a small feeling that we are looking threw an antic lens at times with some of the grainy feelings it gives off. Sometimes as well, we get a rather panted look for the still images like the face where the hair actually moves about it on a cell. At least, that's what it looks like.The English voices aren't bad for how odd the show is though they play it off sort of like a radio drama. It works perfectly with the feel of the show since it looks like it's from the time of 'War of the Worlds'. The music also plays into that with the 1950's New York attitude. It makes the show a bit more relatable in a sense because it brings the old charms we know and love about a actually city with this new futuristic world that may come soon to us.

FYI: My post reveals small plot elements throughout the movie and is meant for people who've seen the entire movie already. It will be useless to you if you have not and please don't respond if you've not yet seen this film.I liked this movie a lot. Something I wondered is - Kenichi, is he a robot or a human? At first glance, everyone probably will say "doh idiot, of course he's human" or something, but consider this. If he was human, then why didn't he get chopped up with the organic waste when falling into that sewer drain like said? Also, he never eats or drinks anything, not exactly proof just a reinforcer. On top of that, when Tima asks his uncle what she is, she comments that she is just like Kenichi and his uncle makes it a point to say "Yes, just like Kenichi" almost as if to hint to the audience that maybe he was also a "Special" robot. After all, his uncle had been tracking down the mad doctor all this time, it is entirely possible that Kenichi was just another victim along the way and adopted by the detective during some pursuit. Anyways, there are also a lot of little things that suggest he may be a robot. Re-watch the movie again with this in mind and you will see what I mean. Please feel free to respond to this, but please, don't troll or bash.. I really am only interested in responses that merit some amount of thinking on your part, not just blind rage, hate or fear. Thanks for your time if you read this. -Thanks, osirisgothra, paradisim.zxq.net

Back in 1949, Osamu Tezuka, the creator of manga's such as, "Astro Boy" and "Kimba the White Lion", created a manga called, "Metropolis". It was similar to the 1929 movie by the same name and it was good and had some observations of the Cold War. In 2001, there was an adaptation of the manga.This is one of the most visually and interesting anime films ever made. What really make's this movie really great, are the visuals. There like the one's in "Treasure Planet" and "Titan A.E.". A lot of people say the character model's were bad, but I thought they were good because I thought they were interesting."Metropolis", is an amazing anime flick that's worth watching for anime fans or non-anime fans.
