Aaron Marcus, The Past 100 Years of the Future, Page 20 Metropolis, 1927, Directed by Fritz Lang Friz Langʼs Metropolis, 1927, is considered one of the classics of the science-fiction genre and one of the first to show extensive HCI. The movie depicts the use of mechanical controls in future factories, (female) robots as a factory-solution to rowdy workers, the use of a videophone (television-like) displays about 20-40 years before their commercial introduction (which are introduced without fanfare), and scenes of executive desks with “executive information systems” in the form of complex telephone control boards. This German expressionist film, the most expensive silent film ever made at its time, features a story of a dystopian urban society in crisis because of strife between workers and capitalist owners of industry, a familiar theme of communist ideology. Its dark imagery, high contrasts, and strong storytelling have made it a perennial favorite for almost eight decades. 20
