In Reply to: Color tints etc. posted by Scott on February 09, 2000 at 13:51:32:
I'm not a big fan of silent films, but I do like the original "Metropolis";
one problem with silents is that the actors tend to overact/emote to make up for
the lack of dialogue. I've already stated I'd consider
using colortints in certain scenes and not in others; the music groups I
listed were available back then and should have been affordable. I too liked the 1984 version, and felt some of the
colortints improved upon the original; some of the score numbers come across as OK, but others are incongruous to me - and at times, I felt
I was getting that "Flashdance" feeling. It would be my intuitive
choice at this point to use German music groups whose music would resonate
with and amplify the theme, tone, mood and atmosphere of "Metropolis". In
lieu of the lack of dialogue, an optimal musical score would enhance the already stunning set design and visual effects of the film.
By doing that, one could maximize an already great film, and increase its
enjoyability to boot. - AH
The new, 2001 version, with missing clips, colortints and a soundtrack featuring the music of Kraftwerk ("Metropolis"; "The Robots";
"Neon Lights" and "Metal On Metal"); Tangerine Dream ("Rubycon") and
Pink Floyd ("Welcome To The Machine")! Well, whaddaya think?
Cool idea! And some great music choices.I would add Alan Parson's "I Robot" to the list.
Might be fun to dub a DAT copy to sync up with the movie..........!
... could make a high-tech animated version. Thus, not emotionallly infringing on the movies classic nature. A film remake of a different venue/medium, where payroll & F/Xs won't hord the budget. Afterall, the lion's share of F/Xs' making it look real. Not a problem.One could actually spend money on nearly extinct stategies like script & dialog & plot.

... that someone as confused as "Tim Burton" would be asinined/assigned to garantee its utter&complete demise. Afterall, it's worthy project, the industry is obligated to kill it.
