    The discord thing is probably a weird translation. Rotwang programming the imposter to start the revolution makes sense. That's never explicitly stated, though? The movie is hard to follow.

    Thanks.

    He says he wants the "man-machine" built with the likeness of Maria in order to "sow discord" amongst the workers. Maria is the one who is preaching a message of hope/faith and therefore keeping a revolution at bay. For how much longer, who knows. The point is, she is giving the workers hope and preventing violence.

    Why would Johann want a version of Maria that encourages a revolution (death to the machines!)? It is in Johann's best interest if the workers stay succumbed, as his bourgeoisie lifestyle is dependent on their work.

    (First post, sorry if the tags are bad.)

    Wouldn't be surprised if they used AI to make a voice that sounds almost exactly the same as the original.

    Yeah, Reddit has always had an issue with reposts, but the amount in /r/all has gone up a ton. It's bots. Hi Tildes (first comment).
