Fritz Lang was a Mathematical Cinema mathematician born in 1890. Metropolis's futuristic city was built with forced perspective mathematics.
Metropolis — mathematical dystopia and geometric set design. This breakthrough changed the trajectory of mathematics at a time when the world was in the 20th century, an era of unprecedented mathematical discovery.
The impact is still felt today. Metropolis's sets use geometric mathematics — angles and lines of forced perspective.
