Abstract
El proyecto euro occidental tenía su elemento de referencialidad en los lenguajes de la modernidad. En Metrópolis (Fritz Lang, 1927), se diseñaba la futura ciudad distópica, convirtiendo la gran pantalla en un elemento de referencialidad. Pero la Segunda Guerra Mundial inició una quiebra en ese principio regeneracionista. El consumismo hizo peligrar el equilibro campo-ciudad. Mediante un análisis fílmico, proponemos un estudio de tres películas, de donde se plasma la ciudad como referencia de lo humano a lo inhumano, de lo colectivo al nuevo ciudadano consumista. Mostrándose como hemos cambiado nuestra percepción de las ciudades a causa de su interpretación en el cine.
The Western Euro project had its element of referentiality in the languages of modernity. In Metropolis (Fritz Lang, 1927), the future dystopian city was designed, turning the big screen into an element of reference. But World War II started a bankruptcy on that regenerationist principle. Consumerism endangered the city-country balance. Through a film analysis, we propose a study of three films, from which the city is shaped as a reference from the human to the inhuman, from the collective to the new consumerist citizen. Showing how we have changed our perception of cities due to their interpretation in the cinema.
