I remixed a film from the 1920's.....inspired by current's new website and delicious free music library....I hope this doesn't give anyone nightmares...
it helps to pause and allow this video to load for a while before viewing.
FYI: historians say that over a quarter of the original footage is now lost forever...when imported to America in1927, the entire thesis of the film was lost and distorted in editing....at the time, it was believed the message was too much for american audiences...
the version of the film currently available, demonizes the protagonist (Joh Fredersen) the man who runs Metropolis. in the original version, Federsen's character is the hero who throws a wrench into his own machine ...and lifts up the working class..
the US version plays out like a love story...only establishes villains or heroes....and totally botches the director's (Fritz Lang) original message.

Logged onto the World Wide Web, I hunt for the date of the Battle of Trafalgar. Hundreds of files show up, and it takes 15 minutes to unravel them--one's a biography written by an eighth grader, the second is a computer game that doesn't work and the third is an image of a London monument. None answers my question, and my search is periodically interrupted by messages like, 'Too many connectios, try again later'
Then there's cyberbusiness. We're promised instant catalog shopping--just point and click for great deals. We'll order airline tickets over the network, make restaurant reservations and negotiate sales contracts. Stores will become obselete. So how come my local mall does more business in an afternoon than the entire Internet handles in a month? Even if there were a trustworthy way to send money over the Internet--which there isn't--the network is missing a most essential ingredient of capitalism: salespeople.
