Introduction Fritz Lang’s 1927 movie, Metropolis , was introduced and created following the industrial revolution that affected Europe in the 20 th century. The creation of the film also coincided with the 10 th anniversary of the 1917 Russian Revolution. As such, the Industrial Revolution had a huge impact many of the film’s aspects. The background of the story to the film is set in 2026 exactly one hundred years after the film had been set. The setting of the film is in a futuristic dystopia made up of two separate and distinct groups- the workers and the thinkers (Brockmann, 2010). The film is a depiction of class struggle between the aforementioned two opposing entities. Metropolis brings forth a reflection of women in the 20 th century. One of the main themes that the film has sought to address is that of feminism. This film is an endeavor to examine the image of the female depicted, the oppression that they have to endure before they are liberated, as well as the expectations of men with regard to the behavior of these women. The female has also criticized women and their role in the society. For example, in the film, women a\re depicted as lustful and seductive creatures. Feminism in Metropolis Image of female We can classify the image of the female as depicted in Fritz Lang’s film, Metropolis , into two categories. The first category consists of a kind, peaceful, and pure female. In a bid to depict the aforementioned female image, the arrangement of the film is such that Maria, who happens to be a working girl, falls in love with Frederson. In addition, Maria is also very popular with the other workers. On the other hand, we have a second image of the female from the film- that of an evil and sexual fantasy. This image of a female is best provided using the cyborg of Maria (Bachmann, 2003). In this case, her sexual dancing was welcome by her male audiences and thanks to her sexy lifestyle society was convinced that the cybor Maria synthesis managed to become a success. Based on the two female images described above, we can arrive at a conclusion that the men in the Metropolis believe that an ideal woman is one who is peaceful enough to be controlled by men, and that the main role of a woman that of a wife. Also, men in the Metropolis believe that a woman should be a sexual object for appreciation and entertainment Feminism liberation The different images of Maria as depicted by the film shows that women too can have a lot of influence on society, even rising to the power and positions held by men. Maria is depicted as a charismatic woman and for this reason, the rest of the workers are attracted to her. Completely mindful of the despair and suffering that faces her fellow workers, and in the full knowledge that a revolt is just about to begin, Maria campaigns for patience and peace. She also foretells that a “mediator’ is about to come, who would act as a link between the workers and the thinkers. The city of Metropolis has been dominated by males and as such, female plays a very minor role in this society (Bachmann, 2003). Through the popularity that she has gained in the society, Maria is in a position to assume the role of a spirit leader among her fellow workers. Maria’s position has frightened majority of the men who have dominated the city for so long. This is a sign that men are constantly wary of the issue of feminism and t
