"Murnau, as an expressionist director, tended to prefer shots on location." I've removed the clause 'as an expressionist director' because it appears to suggest that a characteristic of Expressionism is location shooting (which it is resolutely not, if anything it's the other way around, see The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari). It is also debatable as to whether Murnau is an Expressionist director. Bigbigtom367 22:19, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Section removed

 The Last Laugh : A New Philosophy of Near-Death Experiences, Apparitions, and the Paranormal, also a poem by Wilfred Owen
 is a book by Dr. Raymond Moody presenting case histories of adults and children
 who have clinically reached the point of death and survived.
 
 See: near-death experience

I removed this material since it seems unlikely anyone would come here looking for the topical article on "near-death experiences" and the book by Moody is only one of many books on the subject. WP has no article specifically on the book and I think it unlikely that one will be created. If an article on the book was written however, then a disambig should be put in place. No need for a disambig until then, however. Slowmover 17:18, 5 June 2006 (UTC)


I don't think the German title "is usually" translated as The Last Laugh; rather, the studio changed the name along with the ending before release.--74.100.116.178 22:47, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
