There is a musical soundtrack included. This is the UCLA restoration. The intertitles dialogue has been translated from the original German (Anders als die Andern) into English around 2012. https://silentfilm.org/different-from-the-others/ below quotes from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Different_from_the_Others Synopsis Veidt portrays a successful violinist, Paul Körner, who falls in love with one of his male students. A sleazy extortionist threatens to expose Körner as a homosexual. Flashbacks show us how Körner became aware of his orientation and tried first to change it, then to understand it. Körner and the extortionist end up in court, where the judge is sympathetic to the violinist, but when the scandal becomes public, Körner's career is ruined and he is driven to suicide. Historical context The film, which co-starred and was co-written by sexologist Magnus Hirschfeld, refers to Hirschfeld's theory of "sexual intermediacy". The theory places homosexuality within a broad spectrum comprising heterosexuality, bisexuality, transgenderism, and transvestism (a word invented by Hirschfeld). The film's protagonist first meets his blackmailer at a costume party, and the blackmailer also frequents a drag club; these scenes are the earliest film footage of gay men and lesbians dancing. The film was initially shipped in 40 copies throughout Germany and the Netherlands by Oswald, and it was shown for nearly a year before the authorities stepped in and banned public screenings, allowing it to be shown only to doctors and lawyers. The Nazis destroyed the majority of the prints and only one copy of the film is known to exist.[3] UCLA Film and Television Archive purchased an original fine-grain master positive of the film's footage, which Hirschfeld inserted in his own film Laws of Love from the Russian State Film and Photo Archive.[2] The early gay anthem "Das lila Lied" from 1920 appears to reference the film's title at the start of its chorus ("Wir sind nun einmal anders als die Andern"). ⚠️ CWs include: homophobia, suicide Languages 🔊 Audio track: 🔇 no dialogue; 🎼Music, 🔠 Intertitles: 🇬🇧en, 💬 Subtitles: 🇬🇧en, 🇧🇷pt-br, 🇪🇸es, 🏴󠁥󠁳󠁧󠁡󠁿gl, See also: (related or different versions) 784ceGWQQKEn976umM5g65 🇩🇪 For an alternate version with German intertitles The two versions were created about 20 years apart by different groups.
