Jeff Yang says the true appeal of the new "Joker" movie lies in its invidious validation of the white-male resentment that helped bring President Donald Trump to power. "Joker," at its core, is the story of the "forgotten man," the metaphoric displaced and disenfranchised white man whose goodwill has been abused and whose status has been reduced. A man who has been crushed underfoot by the elite, dragged down by equality-demanding feminists and climbed over by upstart nonwhite and immigrant masses.

First screened in Berlin in 1927, Fritz Lang's "Metropolis" became a template for science fiction cinema. Its script and visual language established a tone later seen in films as varied as "Blade Runner" and "Star Wars," "Logan's Run" and "Aeon Flux." Regardless of how strong or weak the genre's storylines are, its sets are rarely less than memorable. When critics question a science fiction movie's credibility, it is often because design and visuals -- especially in the age of readily manipulated digital imagery -- appear much more important than the script or message. Even when plots are thinner than celluloid film itself, it is still exciting to be transported through cities set far into the future, whether on Earth or light years away. Imagining remotely plausible buildings of the future is, however, hard to do.
