Metropolis: The American City in Popular Culture

Metropolis: The American City in Popular Culture At the dawn of the talkies, one of the most popular genres was the gangster film, through which the city was often portrayed as a powerful force that sent poor souls to their doom. This work considers the development of the cyber-city where urban exiles use their computers to re-imagine the cities of their youth as safe, and warm places.
