Metropoliss
Metropoliss is a fictional city featured in the 1927 silent film "Metropolis," directed by Fritz Lang. The film is set in a dystopian future where the city is divided into two distinct sections: the opulent, technologically advanced city above ground, and the grimy, industrialized undercity below. The city is ruled by a powerful and enigmatic figure known as the Father, who maintains control through a complex system of surveillance and manipulation. The story follows a young woman named Freder, who escapes from the undercity and seeks refuge in the city above, where she encounters a robot named Maria, who serves as a guide and protector. The film explores themes of class struggle, technological advancement, and the human condition, and is considered a classic of the science fiction and expressionist genres. Metropoliss has since become a cultural icon and a symbol of the dystopian future.
