Possibly one of the strangest films I’ve ever seen, this silent movie follows the story of a futuristic dystopia (even by today’s standards), and the class struggles which have become the result of progress. I think the story is easy to lose along the way, since there’s nothing really there to explain what’s happening, so if you miss a break for dialogue, or if you miss a particular action sequence, you could lose the entire plot. However, I would definitely recommend this film to anyone who likes speculative fiction, and the concept of android-overlords, since I think those were the defining characteristics of this film, which even today seems oddly prophetic for where we’re heading in terms of automation.
