The film that was watched was a cut version with some scenes missing and replaced with the word cards that have been seen throughout the movie explaining what the scene contained. This made the movie very confusing from the beginning onto the middle of the film cause there was no clear explanation as to what had happened.
The majority of the cut scenes contained a man who goes by, what the movie entitled him with, as the The Thin Man (Frits Rasp). There were too many scenes with him in that was cut, it made it unclear what his overall character was, His objective, and his overall role in the movie.
The cinematography in the movie for its time was not that far off from what today is now. It was pretty amazing how they came up with the exact way that the future to them would look like.

Quotes:
Maria: There can be no understanding between the hand and the brain unless the heart acts as mediator.
Freder: It was their hands that built this city of ours, Father. But where do the hands belong in your scheme?
Joh Frederson: In their proper place, the depths.
Maria: "We shall build a tower that will reach to the stars!" Having conceived Babel, yet unable to build it themselves, they had thousands to build it for them. But those who toiled knew nothing of the dreams of those who planned. And the minds that planned the Tower of Babel cared nothing for the workers who built it. The hymns of praise of the few became the curses of the many - BABEL! BABEL! BABEL! - Between the mind that plans and the hands that build there must be a Mediator, and this must be the heart.
Man at Nightclub: For her, all seven deadly sins!
Overall view on the movie:
Good, would like to see the uncut version for more answers.
