Description

It is the future, and humans are divided into two groups: the thinkers, who make plans (but don't know how anything works), and the workers, who achieve goals (but don't have the vision). Completely separate, neither group is complete, but together they make a whole. One man from the "thinkers" dares visit the underground where the worker ... (more)

If you're into film not just for the entertainment value but for the art of it then you might like watching this. Although if you want to watch it and sit through the whole thing might be best to watch it if you're in the mood for it and like black and white silent films.

I'm glad I've watched it and I did enjoy it to an extent especially the part with Hel the Machine Man and some of the imagery.

That part was well played and left me with a few questions and thoughts after the credits rolled. I couldn't watch this with...Read more
