1
00:00:13,208 --> 00:00:17,500
Three different negatives were created
for the film Der letzte Mann.

2
00:00:17,625 --> 00:00:20,792
One of them to Germany,
the other to be exported

3
00:00:20,917 --> 00:00:22,750
and a third for the USA.

4
00:00:22,875 --> 00:00:26,958
The existing copy of the German negative,
was preserved incomplete,

5
00:00:27,083 --> 00:00:31,833
and was rebuilt in 2001/2002
with the help of the following materials:

6
00:00:31,958 --> 00:00:36,000
an original negative of
Bundesarchiv-Filmarchiv Berlin;

7
00:00:36,125 --> 00:00:39,042
a copy from the museum
of modern art, New York,

8
00:00:39,167 --> 00:00:42,542
produced in Germany in 1936;
fragments of a duplicate

9
00:00:42,667 --> 00:00:46,083
processed by
Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau-Stiftung

10
00:00:46,208 --> 00:00:49,667
of a missing German copy;
as well as fragments of a copy

11
00:00:49,792 --> 00:00:52,750
maintained by Cinématheque Suisse
in Lausanne.

12
00:00:53,417 --> 00:00:56,417
The restoration took place between 2001 and 2002

13
00:00:56,542 --> 00:00:59,500
by Luciano Berriatua
and Camille Blot-Wellens

14
00:00:59,625 --> 00:01:03,083
at the request of Friedrich-Wilhelm-
Murnau-Stiftung.

15
00:01:03,208 --> 00:01:06,333
Laboratory work:
L'Immagine Ritrovata, Bologna

16
00:01:06,458 --> 00:01:10,667
The original copy of this edition
was used for the 2K digital version.

17
00:01:10,792 --> 00:01:15,792
Major damage to the original film
were removed for the HD version.

18
00:01:17,625 --> 00:01:21,250
THE LAST LAUGH

19
00:01:21,375 --> 00:01:24,750
In the main role:
EMIL JANNINGS

20
00:01:24,875 --> 00:01:27,875
Direction:
F.W. MURNAU

21
00:01:28,333 --> 00:01:34,417
Today, you are the first,
respected by all, a minitro

22
00:01:34,542 --> 00:01:38,708
a general, perhaps even a prince -

23
00:01:38,833 --> 00:01:43,750
Do you know what will happen tomorrow?

24
00:13:05,250 --> 00:13:08,958
For the wedding guests

25
00:20:05,542 --> 00:20:11,292
however, due to his period of service
over many years,

26
00:20:11,417 --> 00:20:16,417
we create a position for you

27
00:20:16,542 --> 00:20:21,375
when dismissing the oldest employee
from our company to a shelter

28
00:20:21,500 --> 00:20:25,125
from today.

29
00:21:11,792 --> 00:21:21,958
The reason for this decision

30
00:21:24,208 --> 00:21:34,833
It's your old age.

31
01:14:28,042 --> 01:14:32,875
Here,
in this place of humiliation

32
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:39,250
the old man would waste miserably
for the rest of your life

33
01:14:39,375 --> 01:14:45,542
and here the story would be,
literally speaking, finished.


34
01:14:45,667 --> 01:14:51,917
But the author watches over him,
that was abandoned by everyone

35
01:14:52,042 --> 01:14:58,375
and then gives him an epilogue

36
01:14:58,500 --> 01:15:04,667
unfortunately —

37
01:15:04,792 --> 01:15:10,292
doesn't normally happen
in real life.

38
01:15:33,167 --> 01:15:34,583
A SENSATIONAL HERITAGE
Reported just now,

39
01:15:34,708 --> 01:15:36,542
the celebrated Mexican multimillionaire
Mr. A.G. Monen passed away

40
01:15:36,667 --> 01:15:38,375
while washing your hands in the sink
from Hotel Atântico

41
01:15:38,500 --> 01:15:40,458
When checking your papers,
a sensational testament to this eccentric man

42
01:15:40,583 --> 01:15:42,375
it turned out that for the purpose that the person
in whose arms he would end up passing away

43
01:15:42,500 --> 01:15:43,917
was to become the sole heir
of his enormous fortune.

44
01:15:47,583 --> 01:15:51,583
Therefore, the biblical promise
that the last will be the first

45
01:15:51,708 --> 01:15:55,500
appears to have been fulfilled on Earth,

46
01:15:55,625 --> 01:15:58,042
for the lucky one is —
