Today I will post some thoughts on Fritz Lang's "Metropolis" and how it may relate to what's happening to us today. 1/
Was a flashback in "Metropolis" showing how the ancient Elites built the Tower of Babel.
Important: This was *celebrated* in the film. 2/
Tower of Babel destroyed not bc God's wrath but bc of an uprising of plebs. This shows materialist (read: Marxist) understanding of history
Maybe. At this point many men don't seem to care if the woman is real or bot, tho. Sad.
Good catch. The stairs look exactly like the Moloch scene.
Maybe my analysis is off and
Whore of Babylon = modern media
Elected officials = mediator
