I mentioned Fritz Lang in my last post about the movie without much explaining who he was because he's such a huge figure in my film history classes. He was a Austrian film director working in Germany in the 20s and 30s--though in 1933, in direct response to Nazi pressure on his work, he up and left his career, his fortune, everything, and went to Hollywood. Metropolis (1927) is probably the most famous of his films--it's a early scifi dystopian class warfare silent film. Even if you've never seen the film itself, you've almost certainly seen references to it. Hell, there's an anime adaptation of it, Metropolis (2001).
Lang's Metropolis almost certainly influenced FMA directly--( series spoilers by allusion )
