The Local
Several years ago, I was back home from NCSSM. Flipping through the channels I found out that the film "Metropolis" would be showing on TCM late at night. I had heard much about film and it was something I really wanted to see, so here was my chance. I was completely enthralled by the movie. One of the most memorable things about the movie was the blank spots. Much of the film had been lost and all that was left was a description of what had taken place in the lost scenes. This air of mystery has kept me interested in the film ever since.
Recently a museum in Argentina has discovered that the copy of "Metropolis" in its archives was longer than the current version available. It's highly likely that this is an original copy, maintaining all the unedited scenes. I can't wait for it to be fully restored.
