I'd be scared too if I saw that connection. It just didn't click; maybe it's your name. I just don't think "Tel Aviv" when I read "Deuce".

Not to worry, deuce et. al. For one thing, Metropolis was made in 1927, before all the nasty stuff. For another thing, the director, Fritz Lang, made a film that Goebbels didn't like. He fled Germany in 1933, "in part because of a Jewish heritage", (
