I feel like I did best on the pacing of the film even though the actual takes were very long. I also thought that the music went with the intensity and pacing of the film.

The second form of people in Metropolis are the "heads". These are the people that are the ones in charge. They live in the upper section of the city and spectate the workers to make sure they are still doing there jobs. These people are also often very wealthy and have lots of leisure time to enjoy partying and socializing. The heart is the one who bridges the gap between the hands and the heads. The heart understands that it is important for the workers and the bosses to be on the same level. Without the heart/the mediator balance between the head and hands there will never be peace because one feels superior and one feels inferior. I believe that Fritz Lang is advocating...
