Propaganda
Brigitte Helm (Metropolis)—Brigitte is the goddess of Metropolis and she deserves to win this poll. She is absolutely stunning, and was a pioneer of silent film. In Metropolis she plays both the good-hearted heroine Maria and the evil robotic clone trying to tear it all down, and she carries both roles off perfectly. SHE HAS THE RANGE, DARLING.
Lyda Borelli (Satan's Rhapsody, Love Everlasting)— no propaganda submitted
This is round 1 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.
[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]
Brigitte Helm propaganda:
Tumblr media
in the movie metropolis (1927) she plays an evil cyborg *and* a communist. The evil cyborg is hot in a deranged way and the communist is just very pretty.
just rewatched metropolis with my dad and the scene where she (as the brand new mechanical woman) is being revealed to the upperclass men??? all those men are the horniest theyve ever been in their lives and its Palpable. also just every time she looks at the camera its like that thing of eyes in a painting following you around a room, she has such a heavy gaze it feels like shes judging you from outside time and space and i know some of the tumblr girlies would really go for that if they knew about her
[Link: the above referenced Metropolis clip. tw for some unsavory slave imagery, eyeball horror, freaky statues, death references—general just be careful warning]
Tumblr media
She got to play the most beautiful robot in all of cinema. That's got to count for something.
THEE femme fatale of German Expressionist film. Her double performance as sweet and innocent Maria and her evil robot doppelganger in Metropolis is fantastic.

Metropolis, Fritz Lang, 1927
There can be no understanding between the hand and the brain unless the heart acts as mediator.

Maria Falconetti (The Passion of Joan of Arc)—there is no way of conveying her appeal which isn't just saying "watch the passion of joan of arc." anyway, vote for the close shaven lesbian filled with the eyes of the weeping/pleading/puppy dog emoji.

[Editor's note for video: tw for unsavory slave imagery, eyeball horror, freaky statues, death references—generally just go forth with caution if you're sensitive to horror/horror adjacent work. Enjoy!]
