1. I've seen "Metropolis" only once...

...and that would have been at a university screening back in the 1980s, so I'm not certain what the particular cut of the film was. We also watch Berlin: Symphony of a Great City (recommended) and of course The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Those are two for you to consider, unless you are limiting your diet of German media.

I'm curious to know the origin of your Metropolis. Is this a Criterion Collection work or similar?

Also, I had never heard of this earlier film entitled The Wind That Shakes the Barley, though the theme interests me. Till now I'd only heard of a more recent film (with Cillian Murphy, I think) by that title.
