Metropolis (1927) similarities


to those who have seen metropolis, did you notice any blatant similarities between the two stories? i thought bioshock beautifully recrafted and retold the story with its own unique spin on it.

Absolutely! Retro-futuristic city setting, Rich and Poor are seperate, The poor are mistreated and are the ones who hold the city up.

When you're in Beggar's Wharf and the workers are all pulling switches and scrubbing machines in unison, you can tell it's for sure a Metropolis reference.
