  1. Utopia and Dystopia Explanations and Images • Utopia: free of poverty, disease, conflict, and unhappiness. Eu topos – Greek for “Well Place,” a pun on “nowhere.” • Dystopia: “Dys” or “Dis” signifies “ill, bad, or abnormal.” “Bad Place.”

  2. Metropolis Fritz Lange’s Metropolis shows a futuristic world where the haves and have-nots are separated not only by class but by space, where the thinkers and doers do not interact.

  3. Metropolis The film shows many industrial images of a symbiotic relationship between the human world and the machine world – one cannot survive without the other.

  4. Metropolis Included in the film, a protagonist of the upper class descends from the upper world and attempts to help the lower world out of love for a woman in white working for equality for all.

  5. Metropolis In the film, a mad scientist attempts to create the perfect worker, an automaton woman – the first robot on screen – to do the work that the human workers cannot do because of their physical failings as living creatures; thus creating the fear of machines taking over the world of humans. Could also be used to take the place of place of the woman in white. (Maria)

  25. Robots, Androids, and Clones A fear of what humanity can create in its own image abounds in Dystopian Literature and Film.
