Anders als die Andern (Different from the Others) (1919) Directed by Richard Oswald

"Widely considered the first feature-length film aimed specifically at a gay audience, made all the more significant for its humanistic depiction of gay men and its explicit plea for the end of their social and legal persecution." (x)

According to the Library of Congress, 75% of all silent films are completely lost. It's tragic to me that so many films will never be seen again. I wanted to do a series of drawings in which I make tributes to these lost films based on the information available. Idk I'm a nerd ok

Different from the Others (Anders als die Andern) was a German film that came out in 1919. The story followed two men and their romantic love for eachother; social criticism, however, leads one man to commit suicide after he is outed. The film argues for the inclusion and normalization of homosexuals, and argues against the law at the time, which stated that homosexuality was a criminal offense. The film is the first of its kind to depict homosexuality in a positive light.

It amassed controversy upon its release and was quickly pulled from public theaters. Despite the backlash, many viewers were reportedly "moved to tears" by the tragic ending. The Weimar Republic enacted censorship laws, and the film henceforth was only allowed to be shown in private viewings to psychiatrists and doctors. Later, the Nazis destroyed all remaining copies, with only fragments of the film and photos surviving. It is now considered a partially lost film, given that only a few segments remain.

Roasting you based on your favorite of these German Expressionist films

(this post is a joke; don't take it too seriously lol)

Metropolis: You've got spicy political opinions and daddy issues. You were doing great in life until you found out how corrupt capitalism is sometime in high school or college, and it's absolutely mind-boggling to you that nobody else is batting an eyelid at all the injustices of the world because they're too busy defending the concept of a 40-hour work week. You're constantly checking your privilege and everyone else's, too. Or you just want to bang a robot. That's probably it.

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari: Okay, I could make a joke about you being emo, or you liking the most basic film on the list, but that's not really the issue here. Your Hot Topic fashion sense and shitty drugstore eyeliner are nowhere near as concerning as the fact that you have no idea who the hell you are without them. You constantly overthink everything and are great at solving everyone's problems but your own, and you're averaging like 4 hours of sleep on a good night. You can't get your intrusive thoughts to leave you alone and if you relate to literally any character in this film, you need to get help. It's okay; I promise your therapist doesn't secretly hate you.

M: You're a surprisingly sweet and empathetic person for someone whose favorite film on this list is about a child murderer. You care deeply about others and are very much in tune with yourself, but unfortunately, everything you say is so off-putting that most people don't get that vibe about you. If they actually gave you a chance, they'd find that you have a great personality, but they don't, so instead you're stuck at home stalking your ex's vacation photos on social media.

Dr. Mabuse the Gambler: You like the finer things in life. You're high-maintenance, your tastes are classy and expensive, and you actually know how wine tasting works. However, you're way too into conspiracy theories and pyramid schemes for your own good, and your cultured proclivities are deeply undercut by the fact that you probably got into Bitcoin when that was a thing. Your two career paths are either "businessperson" or "cult leader," and it's concerningly difficult to discern which one you're on.

Nosferatu: Your sense of humor relies entirely on recycling memes that are at least a decade old, and the fact that you communicate nearly entirely in pop culture references is your attempt at disguising the fact that you're really bad at socializing. You think you have lots of great ideas that make perfect sense, but most people don't know what the hell you're going on about. However, you've got one or two ride or die friends who love you for who you are, cringe and all. Keep being you, Nosferatu fan. Never change.

The Student of Prague: I'm not sure this one is actually anyone's favorite film, but if this was yours, you were into shipping the Onceler with himself when that was a thing. You're super competitive, but you have a tendency to overwork yourself and burn out quickly, so now you're living off of Top Ramen and protein bars. People love to tell you that you "have potential" and "just need to apply yourself," but what they don't get is that you're stressed 24/7 and won't give yourself a break because you're trying so hard to satisfy your own impossible standards. Please take a nap.

Der Golem: You're great with children, small animals, and potted plants, but that's because literally anyone else you have to deal with fucking pisses you off. The absolute audacity of everyone around you means you're never not two seconds away from throwing hands, but honestly? You're always right and you should say it. You're actually a really nice person, but people keep pushing you to your limit and you're sick of it. On an unrelated note, you probably work in customer service.

Different from the Others: If this is your favorite film and you're a member of the LGBT community, that's perfectly understandable. It was a monumental achievement in LGBT cinema in the early 20th century and, despite being somewhat dated by today's standards due to the time period it was created in, largely holds up as an educational, yet tragic, piece of cinema. That being said, if you're a straight/cis/allo person and this is your favorite film, what is going on with you. I want to study you in a lab. How did you find this film. Come to think of it, how did you even get into German Expressionist cinema to begin with. I just want to know

Der Januskopf: [REDACTED]

Genuine: You're a "Caligari" fan who doesn't want to seem basic like the rest of the "Caligari" fans, so somehow you ended up here. You don't actually like this film aside from the visuals. Nobody actually likes this film. You want so, so badly to like this film, so you lie to yourself, just like you do about everything else.

sometimes the internet is still good — i checked out a copy of the celluloid closet from the library, and vito russo talks about this pro-gay movie funded by the hirschfeld institute and starring conrad veidt, and how it's been lost, and you know there's a copy on the internet archive for free? it's not the complete movie — that was apparently successfully destroyed by the nazis, or at least a complete version hasn't turned up yet — but it's more than was available when the book came out, and it's just… it's there. you can watch it. the nazis tried to destroy it and they failed and now you can watch it. it got censored so hard a year after it came out that you could only see it if you were a doctor or a lawyer and it's just free now. that's wonderful.

My drawing of the two pretty lovers from Different from the Others (Anders als die Andern) (1919), the world's first gay film shot in Germany.

Paul, a violinist, teaches Kurt the violin, who's Paul's admirer.

Director: Rechard Oswald

Cinematographer: Max Fassbender

Conrad Veidt as Paul Körner

Fritz Schulz as Kurt Sivers

Reinhold Schünzel as Franz Bollek

Anita Berber as Kut's sister

This film can be said that it was a very progressed film at that time. It depicts two gay couples' struggles for being gay in the time when homosexual was prohibited by German constitution. We all should be aware of that film existed as a part of LGBTQ+ history!

The film was almost lost and only its fragments left. You can comprehend the plot by the intertitle. Although I almost read while watching the film, I was moved to tears. I'm queer and I could sympathize with the character's feeling in the film over 100 years ago!

It became one of my favorite films immediately after I watch it!

Also, Anita Berber, who played Kurt's sister was bisexual. She's such an icon.

ANDERS ALS DIE ANDERN (1919) dir. Richard Oswald Paul Korner is a homosexual musician who falls in love with his protégé Kurt. Unfortunately, the two are seen walking hand in hand by the blackmailer Franz. Though Paul agrees to Franz's demands at first, it gets out of hand and he ends up refusing to pay, resulting in dire consequences for the lovers. This film was intended as a polemic against the then-current laws under Germany's Paragraph 175, and it is believed to be the first pro-gay film in the world. (link in title)

People act like being different is cool and quirky but it not often not it's lead to you being misunderstood, lonely or even bullied.

What people wanna be is unique and special, which nothing wrong with that each individual is unique some of us are similar yes but not the same, the problem is that ppl don't wanna be authentic just unique for shock value or to be superior to others

What truly being different means that its almost impossible to find people to befriend, thinking differently from people they assume your crazy or stupid, looking different means that ppl will outcast you or think your doing it for attention and acting different means you get isolated or rejected from others.

People only accept "different" people when they are socially acceptable different (unique, special) not socially unacceptable different (weird, outcast),

Being different is not fun idk why people act like it is.

#Yes im posting this because i experience this isolation from others for being different #Its not cute and i dont feel like im unique or special i feel lonely #Man its fucking sucks #this is just my opinion #being different #alien girl #masc girl #different #outcast #different from the others
