Metropolis and Modern Times

Metropolis and Modern Times both uses pretty much the same techniques of lighting. During the movie Metropolis, I notice that they do use a lot of black and white to show the difference b/w the rich and the poor people. They uses color to created different emotions that we have as we watch it. Modern Times doesn't have that much lighting even though they still uses black and white. Modern Times mostly depends on acting. The acting cause people to laugh, find it amusing, and also flat-out hilarious. It also uses a lot of white rather than black to show happiness and joyfulness. The time card in Metropolis and Modern Times are very different because one uses that to create suspense and the other one is very plain. The one in Modern Times jsut tells us what is happening and there is no suspense; pretty musch straight forward informations. I think that Metropolis and Modern have a lot in commons and a lot of differences.
