    Artificial coloring (gold is represented by gold), amazing. Through this film, I have a deeper understanding of why film became "active photography" in its early days. Is the English at that time a bit different from now? The music of silent films is always vigorous, like symphony. Did money destroy everything? No, it's human greed! When they held their wedding, a funeral procession passed by outside the window, heralding the inevitable tragic ending of their...

    Most of the 239-minute version restored in 1999 are stills completed. The caged bird enslaved by gold, after arriving in the town, the relationship between the characters soared, and marriage is the purgatory of human nature: greedy people kill each other, cautious evening love is full of greenery. The final desert showdown feels like a western...

Missing great...

    The silent film is added with English subtitles, and the level is not good enough. Why the woman became Grandet is not very clear! The transformation of that cousin Marcus is indeed a bit shocking, it can be said that it is...

    Almost half of it was completed with stills, especially the part of Maria and the old couple was almost completely missing. It's a pity. The second half has money and marriage blessings, and the whole painting style has gone to the point of no return. In the end, the entire scene of the Death Valley desert was dyed gold, literally died in gold. In addition, the ten-hour version may be OK It was the Twin Peaks at that time,...

    Although the era of literature has passed, the humanistic care and ideological value of literature are still carried on in the film. And "Greed" is one of its best...

    Most of the ppt's 4h have been watched with great interest. I can only say that the actor's appeal is too strong. You can see the emotions just from the photos. Is the story...
