The Importance of 'Metropolis' and understanding its effect on Pop Culture

I've compiled two very strong a reliable sources that make strong, convincing cases for their arguments with great background information and images.

The first movie analysis, comes from Vigilant Citizen. Please take the time to read this article, you'll learn so much form it and it provides a good foundation of knowledge to understanding and catching other symbolism in the music industry.

"Metropolis is a silent science-fiction movie released in 1927 by Fritz Lang, a master of German Expressionism. Set in a futuristic dystopia divided into two distinct and separate classes—the thinkers and the workers—Metropolisdescribes the struggles between the two opposite entities. Knowing that it was produced in 1927, viewing this movie today is quite an experience as many “sci-fi” aspects of the plot are eerily close to reality. Metropolis describes a society where the “New World Order” has already taken been implemented and a select elite live in luxury while a dehumanized mass work and live in a highly monitored hell.

As we have seen in previous articles on The Vigilant Citizen, Metropolis is excessively echoed in popular culture, especially in the music business. Whether it be in music videos or photo shoots, pop stars are often portrayed as the character Maria, an android programmed to corrupt the morals of the workers and to incite a revolt, giving the elite an excuse to use violence repression. Are pop stars used by the elite in the same matter, to corrode the morals of the masses?" Read more...

There are also a few videos in the series "The Industry" that touch on the subject of Metropolis, and they really compare certain scenes with the imagery in artists like Beyonce's concerts. 

To continue watching "The Industry" series (new videos are still being released), click HERE for their Youtube channel or HERE for their website.

I strongly recommend each and every one of those videos.
