I will lead you him to whom you love.

Destiny - 4/10. Fritz Lang. Where 'Metropolis' made its point halfway through and then continued to make that point, 'Destiny' marks its intent in the title and insists on going from there. The final act turns interesting and almost slapstick as the dame becomes desperate and begs the old and disabled and the waiting to die for to take her lover's place, them refusing it on the basis of 'at least it's still life,' but that's an hour and some minutes into an otherwise boring movie.
