Fritz Lang’s 'Metropolis' And Its Influence On The American Science Fiction Film

Blade Runner, Terminator I+II.

A comprehensive intertextual analysis of Fritz Lang’s Metropolis, with insight into the aesthetic and social implications of the robot figure for Modern Amercian Science Fiction Films. Deconstructing the artificial creature not only sheds light on the visual poetics of Blade Runner, Terminator I & II, but also illustrates the ethical trends of science in 1980s America, which are just as visible and controversial today as they were then, in terms of the dehuminisation of society. 88 Seiten mit zahlreichen Abb., broschiert (Theater, Film und Fernsehen in der Blauen Eule; vol. 8/Verlag Die Blaue Eule 2005) leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear
