What does it mean that, after watching half of Metropolis yesterday, I had dreams about it all night long, from the time I fell asleep all the way until I woke up?
I think it means that, while this weekend was one filled with inspiration and ideas (no brow! cookies! secret plots! tupperware cocktails! derisive snigglings! brie/fresh grape quesedillas!), this week feels like it’s going to be one filled with drudgery, frustration, and toil.

Maybe it just means that metropolis is a movie with tremendously powerful imagery?

Giorgio Moroder produced a slightly edited and colorized version of Metropolis in 1984, with a sound track of his own. It featured a song by Freddie Mercury, Love Kills.
Surprisingly, the result was quite effective, not the blasphema one may have expected.

BTW, the idea to add a modern sound track to a silent movie is sometimes a good one.
I remember having seen Intolerance with a live orchestral score (I can’t remember who composed it), it was really powerfull.
