Should the last two scenes be reinserted?


For me anyways, Metropolis is the greatest silent film ever made- and the 2010 version is absolutely incredible. However, the scene with the monk and Joh Fredersen fighting with Rotwang still aren't there even though an actual complete print exists. I know I read those scenes were far too damaged to restore, but is it possible for the FWM foundation to do their best so Metropolis can truly be complete?

Well I know that the BBC sometimes inserts stills or animated sequences for missing footage from Doctor Who.
But perhaps that was too costly to do for this film?
