# yeah
thought about using a direct screen capture of maria as a desktop.
but I couldn't find any in good quality, so I traced one

# Metropolis!
Robot Maria was the inspiration of C3PO.

*fact*

PS - Does anyone know where I can get a still of Rotwang holding the flashlight in the tunnels? I found a low-quality one on the internet awhile back. I'd like one movie-poster quality.

# I'm not sure of the time it happens...
and being silent, the scene times depend on if you have subtitles or inserted frames with the captions (inserted frames add time).

But it is after Maria shows Fredder the secret meeting place in the catacombs, and Joh orders Rotwang to give the robot Maria's likeness. Rotwang chases her through the catacombs and catches her.

I only have a pirated VHS from 20 years ago (yes, it's the Georgio Morodor version - the shame!)
