Metropolis Metropolis from Fritz Lang is a city-‐state made of different influences. I t’s a black and white silent fiction film widely regarded as a masterpiece. It is the very first movie that has been nominated to the UNESCO’S world’s heritage. It is a gothic corporate city-‐state made of impressive skyscrapers. The society has been divided into two groups: in one hand, the thinkers, the intellectuals all live high above the earth in a luxury and pleasant world also called the « Son’s Club »; on in the other hand the group of workers who live underground, toiling to sustain the lives of the privileged. According to quotation: “The dreams of a few had turned to the curses of many”. The climax of the movie is the attack of the uptown by the angry mob of workers. Trough the interventions of Frieder’s son, the worker’s leader are persuaded to reconcile the differences and work together. Metropolis contains also references to antiquity like the evocation of Tower of Babel (contained in Genesis). But this version is more connected to the current situation of label workers: this is a refoundation of the mist. There is a vertical aspect in Metropolis. According to Fritz Lang, the aesthetic was inspired from a trip to New York in 1924, during his observations of Manhattan. Verticality is linked to the idea of height. The uptown is opposed to the downtown. Here downtown is the city of poor workers, as well as the underground city. This one shelters the label workers in a production means for everyone in Metropolis. This is the city of installation, industry, cold and iron. The forms are simple, made of metal, they are similar of industrial architecture of the last year European’s 19th century. Despite of all theses influences, this forms also reveals futuristic elements like anthropomorphic fronts and interface with preeminent buttons and needles (or hands). The hole disappeared into dramatic and maybe supernatural form (beyond the physics law). It uses the materials to rise up to heavens. In the beginning in 19th century there is an insane skyscrapers race in New York / Chicago. Metropolis illustrates the same competition spirit where modern skyscrapers and ancient towers grew simultaneously. This vertical development of Metropolis was made to be a living symbol of wealth or poverty and misery in its underground part. Extrait: Metropolis de Rintaro Shots show an impressive manner to shot.

Dark City
1988 “neo noir/science fiction film” directed by Alex Proyas It manages to blend several genres: crime thriller, action, science fiction, drama Plot/summary John Murdoch awakens alone in a strange hotel he has lost his memory and wanted for a series of brutal murders While trying to piece together his past, he stumbles upon a fiendish world controlled by a group of beings known as “the strangers” Possess the ability to put people to sleep and alter the city and its inhabitants Murdoch must find a way to stop them before they take control of his mind and destroy him City’s design The city is described by Higley as a “murky, nightmarish German expressionist “film noir” depiction of urban repression and mechanism” The city has details from different eras/architectures, changed by the Strangers; “buildings collapse as others emerge and battle with one another at the end The inhabitants do not live at the top of the city; the main characters’ homes: dwarfed by the jumble/jungle of buildings The film also contains references from Greek Mythology: gods manipulate humans in a higher agenda
Some stylistic similarities have been noted to Jean-‐Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro’s 1995 film La cite des enfants perdus (inspired by Terry Gilliam (Brazil)) When Proyas finished “The Crow” in 1994, he approached production designer Patrick Tatopoulos to draw concepts the world in which Dark City takes place The city where the story takes place was entirely constructed on a set; no natural locations were used in the film “The movie takes place everywhere, and it takes place nowhere. It’s a city built of pieces of cities/ So, you d’ont really know where you are. A piece will look like a street in London, but a portion of the architecture looks like New York, and the bottom of the architecture looks again like a European City. You’re there, but you don’t know where you are. It’s like every time you travel, you’ll be lost.” The production design included themes of darkness, spirals, and clocks. There appears to be no sun in the coty’s world, and spiral designs that shrink when approache were used in the film The production designer created the city architecture to have an organic presence with structural elements Fritz Lang Metorpolis was a major influence on the ilm trough the architecture, concept of the baseness of humans within a metropolis. One of the last scenes of the movie is similar to last panel of the Akira manga. Proyas called the end battle a “homage to Otomo’s Akira”.

Akira (1982/1988)
1988 Japanese animated film directd by Katsuhiro Otomo, written by Otomo and Izo Hashimoto Screenplay is based on Otomo’s manga Akira, focusing mainly on the first half of the story. Dystopian version of the city of Tokyo in the year 2019, with the cyberpunk elements Plot focuses on teenage biker Tetsuo Shima and his psychic powers, and the leader of his biker gang (bosozoku or zoku), Kaneda Most of the character designs and settings were adapted from the original 2182-‐page manga Plot of the movie differs considerably from the rint version, pruning much of the last half of the manga Technical aspects Most anime is known for cutting production costs with limited motion, such as having only the characters’ mouths move while their faces remained static Akira: detailed scenes, pre-‐scored dialogue (wherein the dialogue recorded before the film starts production, the movements of the characters’ lips are animated to match it). Super-‐fluid motion as realized in the film’s more than 160,000 animation cels. Unlike its live-‐action predecessors, Akira had the budget (11 million €) to show a fully realized futuristic Tokyo Themes and interpretations: Incorporates themes of globalization, technology, hegemony, and capitalism Not about just any city or culture, which represents those ideologies; it is about Neo-‐Tokyo, and the restructuring of Japan post-‐apocalypse. Post WWII Trauma Present in the narrative is a dystopian future wildly unstable; begins with an apocalypse that, decades later, Japan is still trying to recover from. Magnitude of death and destruction were literally inconceivable; they did not fit any imagined possible reality
Katsuhiro Otomo was born in 1954, after Japan had already entered its “post-‐WWII” stage, his experience of pre WWII Japan is mediated trough history; the intense “fright”, the trauma belongs to the generation before him. Akira reconstructs the apocalypse of WWII Japan (and resulting trauma) for the younger generation Years after the end of the war; books; films, and manga being produced were starting to reflect upon the war Japan was trying to deal with the culture shock; film and literature were outlets for dealing with the shock and trauma. The 1945 film, Godzilla explored the tense relationship between Japan and USA at the time. Generation’s conflict Teenage bosozoku’s gangs in Akira are orphans; their gang is unified by the fact that they have no parents Therefore transformed the gang into an unconventional family, where the main protagonist, Kaneda, performs the role of the father as a leader, protector and a provider. Characters in “Grave of the Fireflies” are apathetic to those outside their immediate family; Kaneda’s gang is apathetic to Neo-‐Tokyo They share a unity that gives them a sense of identity while their city is in state of post capitalist anarchy. To the gang, the streets are their home. City belongs to no one; it is his or hers for the taking, and it is theirs to defend against some other gang or higher authority Lack of authority figure in the city signifies social collapse of Neo Tokyo, which, like its architecture, takes time to rebuild About post WWII Japan, the distancing of trauma the representation of power and identity in the emergence of a new culture, and the abjection of nostalgic ideology from this new culture (cf. Generation conflict).
