Maria is the name of both the heroine and her robot duplicate in the classic Fritz Lang film METROPOLIS. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolis_(film)
There are many versions & at least one remake. If you haven't seen any of them, please do. The film techniques were amazing for the time, even if the heavy handed social commentary isn't. In a way, it's still a message for our times, given the shrinking middle class and the growth of poverty while the rich continue to control more of the planet's wealth. (1 year and 136 days ago)

Maria, Homage

Cool movie info, author. Reminds me of one or two other early scifi films.
In this Metropolis film, was there only a single eye on the robot? (The image at wiki shows two.) Reply »

author says:

I went with the one eye because it was the first thing the egg suggested, and after trying two eyes, I went with my first idea. I didn't want to be a slave to the film image.
(And Gort, in THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, was a very cool one eyed robot! Reply »

author says:

LOL Pingenvy! Nah, that was just some stuff that was on the part I warped for her torso...I guess it was kinda distracting, so it's gone now. Thanks! Reply »

“See how the sacred old flamingos come,

Painting with shadow all the marble steps:

Aged and wise, they seek their wonted perches

Within the temple, devious walking, made

To wander by their melancholy minds.”
