 +  * What is the moral of the story?
 +  * Looking at the //futuristic dystopia//  that Metropolis describes, what is your outline of futuristic dystopia? How do you see your future? How do you see our/the worlds technological progress?
 +  *   About the specific set design: How are the differences between the establishment and the working class thematized? Which similarities do you see?
 +  * How did the future look like two years ago? ⇒ [[https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2016/01/a-brief-guide-to-the-technologies-changing-world/|The 7 technologies changing your world]] (World Economic Forum)

 +  * What is todays equivalent of those futuristic graphics?
 +  * Is there a difference between //science//  and //science fiction//?
 +  * Take a look into the mirror. Which machines control your life? What do you think about that? Are there ways to change things?
