Metropolis (1927) by Fritz Lang

- Filmed by Fritz Lang, a german, at the time of the great depression. 
- Factory workers dehumanised, moving like robots, workers going down under. In todays society the down under is china where most businesses are outsourced to. 

- some people have names and some have numbers: People are identified in todays society also through numbers, i.e. passport numbers and NI number.  
- Issue of surveillance: In London there is more CCTV watching over people than anywhere else in the world.
