| Summary |
Thematically, this film is inspired by the legendary Osamu Tezuka's manga series Metropolis, which was in turn vaguely inspired by German director Fritz Lang's 1926 silent masterpiece of the same name. As a result, this Metropolis takes various elements of Lang's Metropolis and rearranges them in unexpected ways. |
