    The plot is so good. Although I feel that the body language is all exaggerated, I keep reminding myself that it is a milestone. It is very hard to show the war scene on a narrow screen. The director is trying hard to express the grandeur with depth. , just like another species, no wonder this film has become a textbook for the KKK. Or praise, compared to the pure dazzling skills of the predecessors, this thoughtful feature film is so...

    A bastard and a great epic: First feature-length feature film based on Thomas Dixon's novel and stage play of the Ku Klux Klan as heroes; pioneering classical editing (cross-cut at the end, parallel cut ); Controversy: The era limitations of racist political ideology, and the violence of the Ku Klux Klan is rationalized as an act to restore an upright government. It's dull and...

    I don't think it's better to fight against the same party. But many techniques were created by Griffith in 1915. It must be said that they are gods. As far as this narrative is concerned, how many directors in China can surpass...

    100 years in 1915 Oh dear! At that time, the 135 film was not invented, and the film at this time was about 6*7. . Griffith is indeed a character beyond the times. He pioneered the use of parallel montage and other film techniques. The real-life shooting of the war scenes is impressive. This film deserves to be an important milestone in the history of film. But you and I are not academic film researchers. It's better not to touch such antiques. Let him go to "must-see for film school...

    To the Father of American Cinema

    To the father of American cinema
    - David Griffiths
                            
    You are lonely,
    but you stay awake and think stubbornly.
    You use Shakespeare's grace
    to interpret freedom and love.
     
    Your talent
    makes the whole world tremble, and
    you make your national film
    more confident and splendid....t
