Der Letzte Mann is one of the most well-known and influential films of the Weimar Republic. This film is very different from the previous ones. , which focused on the story. Der Letzte Mann is an experiment, an attempt to explore the possibilities of film media.

The last man has a relatively simple, if not slightly tedious, story. The main character is a doorman or porter who works in a high-end hotel. He is proud of his ability to wear a good mantel. However, the manager believes that the doorkeeper is quite old. After that, he stufts the doorsteher to a laundry bag and pulls the doorsteher's mantel back. The old man is very suspicious and tries to conceal the reversal. is, and she annihilates the old man. In reality, the story should end, but the only intertitle suggests an unlikely conclusion. The man who is now the laundry room attendant receives an inheritance from a millionaire who dies in his arms. His life is different because of his birth.

, with its history and the time of production, in its production. Der Letzte Mann is the original title in German. This title foretells the true demise of the main character, namely the lone, armed, and last man in the laundry room. . The reason is likely the time period in which this film was produced. In comparison to the Reich before World War I, the Weimar Republic was weak and lax. Because Germany had expended so much in the war and had to pay so much in reparations, the German economy was unstable. In Germany, there was severe inflation, which caused many people to lose their homes and go hungry. The general atmosphere in Germany was somewhat pessimistic. However, the Germans have not given up hope. As a result, the story should not be entirely pessimistic. The film's ending expresses the hope, though it is far from certain, that Germany will improve.

The main themes of the film are inequity between different classes, or even within one class, and the contrast between the young and old generations. The most obvious and obvious inequity exists between the hotel's wealthy guests and the miarmen people who have made their home there. The wealthy guests have had a good time. They ate good food, drank expensive wine, and smoked expensive cigars. However, the elderly have grown accustomed to a lack of privacy and enjoyment in their old and dilapidated rental home. Klassen, However, the film also depicts inequity within the lower classes. The old doorkeeper belonged to the lower class, but he worked in a hotel frequented by wealthy guests. Their proximity to the wealthy and the Mantel has raised their status and created inequality within the armies. To emphasize this point, the Mantel was used as a symbol of authority. When he wore the mantel, he had the impression that he belonged to a higher class. He appeared to be large and proud when he wore the Mantel. He has greeted everyone on the street with a friendly lächeln. But when he lost his work and the mantel, he became suddenly starry and befuddled.

The contrast between the young and old generations, or between the old Reich and the new Weimar Republic, is also important in this film. The old doorkeeper is a symbol of a bygone era. There is a scene in the beginning of the film that takes place in the rain. The doorkeeper assists a visitor before taking a break. During his break, another visitor requires assistance, but the doorkeeper is unable to assist him. The manager notices this and pulls the elderly man due to his age. The doorkeeper is aware, but he refuses to accept it. He makes an attempt to lift the Manager's Koffer, but fails. In the film, in his dream, he obtains the large crate that six people are unable to lift. Both scenes depict the diminishing power of the old man and the diminishing influence of the old empire. The new and young doorkeeper is a symbol of the new era. He is large and powerful, just like the future of the Weimar Republic in the hope of the people. This film makes numerous attempts to find the possibility of the film.
. The use of the movable camera is an impressive experiment. Before this film, the cameras were motionless, like the eyes of a spectator sitting on a chair in a theater. Despite the use of genuine backgrounds, such as in Der Student von Prag, or fictitious backgrounds, such as in Das Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, the audience had a similar experience to that of a drama. The last man, the movable camera, supplements the presentation. , the camera goes from the first etage to the Keller with the old man. The decline in the status of the old man is represented by the movement downward. Die bewegliche Kamera kann nicht nur Third-Person-Ansicht, sondern auch Egoperspektive, d.h. die Perspektiv durch die Augen der Figur, zeigen. The camera shows what the main character looks like after the party. There is no precedent for this film. This film is also a mash-up of
Expressionismus and New Sachlichkeit. During the film's production, there was a transition from expressionism to new realism. As a result, the film incorporates elements of both art forms. There are many shadows with high contrast that represent expressionism. For example, the shadows of the rotating door and the old man can elicit strong emotions. . Emotions are more useful than physical form in Expressionismus. However, there are elements of new realism. Expressionismus is in some ways the polar opposite of new realism. You can change your mind about reality. The backstory in this film is typical of New Sachlichkeit. The hotel facade, the building, and the street signs are all realistic. The combination of expressionism and new realism distinguishes this film in cinema history.
