Proporsal: Forth Essay

In my final essay, I am going to compare the film Metropolis by Fritz Lang and The book,The Artificial Silk Girl by Irmgard Keun. In Comparison of both stories is German culture and Germany’s industry in that time period.

I want to focus on the main characters: Freder, Maria and the workers. This movie reflects the class of people. Indeed, inequality of people extremely affect to the workers. Indeed, this metropolis movie emphasis the isolation of high and low level of people we can call the slaves. The movie shows about the inequality of people in the society . Moreover, this movie focuses on the future world, for example, the transportation, the civilization, and the robot. In 1933, The Artificial Silk Girl was banned by Nazi. Moreover, the copies of this story destroyed. Doris, a main character was during 1930s Berlin or during pre of second world war. Doris is the person who loves glamorous and fame in life. In contrast, she finds the poverty and ruthlessness. In term of “culture” she can sleep with a married man because she has to survive from struggling with poverty.

I will compare and contrast about the culture in both stories and how the character of both stories create the culture. In addition to how the time after world war affect the poverty of people in Germany, how the culture that the rich people can be a leader of the poor people in the film and how is the story reflects the culture in that time period as well.
