![]() "Die Bismarck": This one is a little bit weird too. There is also a direct refernce to metropolis in the pygmalion article ("carry the Pygmalion theme as does Fritz Lang's Metropolis.")įeel free to share your ideas and thoughts - i'm kinda stuck. I think pygmalion refers to the legendary figure of Cyprus because metropolis and this myth share the same basic story - man rejected by women trying to create his perfect wife(?) but it ends bad. January 1927: Metropolis (fact), not the right time if we are right with assuming kino takes place around 1970, but still.) (support for my THEORY: Metropolis had its premier at the UFA-Palast - 10. > totally sticks to the story of metropolis. But still it says Pygmalion?! There is a writing on the left (btw thx cjdog23 for the pix ) saying: I'm almost sure the picture is a "treyarch"-version of a Metropolis poster. ![]() ![]() There's just a silent movie from 1926, but wikipedia mentioned the UFA (which makes me stick to my THEORY that the actual "kino der toten" (the actual cinema) is at least inspired by the "UFA Palast am Zoo" (german)/ (english by Google-Trans.)) Sadly i found no connection to berlin or any kino (=cinema) in berlin. I find it quite astonishing that nobody looked deeper into this (haven't found your post Xieon, currently no search-function - sry), so i did it myselfįaust: cjdog23 already posted all i know about the "faust" poster, but i would like to highlight that some sites say its Faust by Gounod but its actually Faust by Goethe! It's obvious if you look at the characters. There are also two other posters, one o Pygmalion and one of Die Bismark, here are pictures:įyi: English is not my first/native language, trying my best - hopefully not too confusing And i would think it ties in someway being that treyarch put in the effort to create a custom poster for the movie. I don't know how this applies to the zombie story, but it does kind of tie into the good vs evil theme that zombies seems to hold. Mephisto helps Faust seduce a girl named Gretchen, who's life is destroyed but through her innocence still enters Heaven, while after years Faust is damned to hell per their agreement. The devil sends a representative, Mephistopheles (Mephisto for short) to serve Faust with magic powers for years. He makes a deal with the devil, exchanging his soul for unlimited knowledge and worldly pleasures. He is a succesful scholar but he is not satisfied. Now Faust is a 'Classic German Legend' about a man named Faust. I don't know if anybody has mentioned this yet, and if they have a mod can delete this thread, but I noticed that the poster for Faust in Kino Der Untoten has more writing on it.
