Russian Film ‘Aelita, Queen of Mars’ was to Fritz Lang’s ‘Metropolis’ as ‘Ghost in the Shell’ was to ‘The Matrix’

If you took/are taking a film theory class in college, chances are you had to watch Fritz Lang’s classic expressionist 1927 film ‘Metropolis’. What you may not learn (or at least I didn’t) was that his work was strongly influenced by a Russian sci-fi movie that came out a few years earlier.
