It was in my opinion much more thrilling than the one on the DVD and if you're able to get this particular score, listen to it. On the whole, Metropolis is simply brilliant and holds up extremely well.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16611922269342141654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385233731099220276.post-68496083772452997712015-08-18T12:11:52.846-04:002015-08-18T12:11:52.846-04:00I have this recorded and have been waiting for ins...I have this recorded and have been waiting for inspiration to watch it to hit. I'm not a fan of silent movies, but I want to watch it, like you say, for it's legacy, because I'm definitely a sci-fi fan. :) Great review, James! Maybe it'll get me motivated to watch it soon.
