    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...

    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...
