Using screenshots and visual analysis (which do not count toward your page total), compare Modern Times and Metropolis to show the ways “humans are drawn into the waste disposal systems of the technological age” (as Avital Ronell writes in her book Crack Wars 13). What arguments do these films making about the relationship between technology and working class life? And do their different genre and tonal approaches (comedy versus dystopian allegory) help support or undermine their message? Draw on a quote from Huyssen, Arendt, or Halpern to support your argument.
