Original 1927 cut of Metropolis found!

HOLY FUGGEN SHIIIIIT AAAAAAAAAGBBULBULBULBUGHBUBRRRRLLLUHMMMNUUURRRR

Inlander:
Yes, but is it actually better than the familiar version? I mean, there's a trend in literature at the moment to publish first drafts of famous books, but sometimes editing is done for a reason.

De_El:
This is indeed not the sort of reaction I expected. Although I didn't expect anything really, I was so excited at the time I just sort of posted. 

Reason! Sure, but what kinds of reasons? To try and cut a 210 minute film down to 90, because that's what people were used to? A version sped up to 26 fps from 16 fps because there were trends to keep up with in the film industry? The film has never been, since 1927 truly complete. God! You're so negative! This is historic! It was thought to be lost forever!

Ikrik:
OMG SWEET!  What's even better news and the one that you should have posted is that Kino is going to be restoring and releasing this complete version.  THAT is freaking sweet!  They did SUCH a masterful job of Nosferatu (I own it) and I know that they'll make Metropolis freaking sweet too.

E. Spaceman:
I hope this means more Queen footage.
