We love us some weird movies! We were intrigued by this one not only because of its history and mad science and magic, but also because it is riddled with occult/esoteric symbolism. Very very interesting. I have a relatively general conception of occult symbolism, and I cannot tell you how greatly it has enriched my cinematic, commercial, literature, and art experiences. I recommend looking into knights templar/freemasonry symbols, satanic ritual symbols, tarot symbols and how they relate to Roman, Greek as well as Egyptian myths, and catholic symbols in relation to the Vatican.

Anyway, Metropolis was amazing. Look at that sexy, crazy, robot lady. My husband and I were thoroughly impressed. Beautifully filmed and scary! I hear there's a new edit playing selectively that has a modern soundtrack- I'd love to check it out! Anyone have any thoughts on this movie and how it relates to symbols and magic?
