Last episode, Paul and Alan examined H.G. Wells’s reaction to Fritz Lang’s “Metropolis.” This time, they travel to the far future to discuss the 1960 adaptation of one of Wells’s most famous works: “The Time Machine.”
To say H.G. Wells didn’t like Fritz Lang’s “Metropolis” would be criminal understatement! Alan and Paul discuss Wells’s cinematic response to Lang: “Things to Come” (1936).
Paul and Alan discuss a film considered one of the greatest science fiction pieces and cultural artifacts of the twentieth century: 1927’s “Metropolis.” Fritz Lang’s vision continues to influence culture through the present and was entered into UNESCO’s Memory of the World Register, but does it live up to the hype?
