There are no comments, only the masterpiece of kneeling and licking

After reading "Party Dissent", I actually thought of the performance art of "Love and Peace" by John Lennon and Yoko Ono on the wedding bed. It can be said that "Party Dissent" is an epic movie that created the theme of "Love and Peace", or it can be said that Griffith used more than 2 million US dollars in 1916 and more than 200 minutes of the film to say something extravagantly—— "Only true love keeps peace forever". This phrase was later evolved by hippies into "make love, not war!"

When you thought Griffith was a peace lover, his last film was a slap in the face, "The Birth of a Nation." "The Civil War in the United States is made an opposite assumption, the blacks defeated the whites, the whites became blacks, and the Ku Klux Klan became the heroes of Liangshan who rose up. This poisonous and discerning film can be said to be a precedent for American filmmakers' disaster sci-fi films. It is extremely politically incorrect and obviously aims to sow discord among the American people. However, it has received extremely enthusiastic responses at the box office, and it is also a great source for Gerry. Faith made the money to invest in "Party Dissent."

"The Birth of a Nation", which was completely destroyed by three views, also gave birth to a person's ambition and unparalleled talent. It made Griffith feel that he was omnipotent in film, and the infinitely inflated ambition and excess talent made Griffith Reeves made a film that was unprecedented, and that will not come 100 years later.

Looking at it again today, the black-and-white picture and the sound effects of the silent film have not damaged its immortal temperament at all. There is no script, no beautiful design drawings, no special effects guidance for war scenes. Griffith has completed all the scheduling, he is like A genius general, commanding the battlefields of four wonderful visual battles, each with countless big scenes and scenes, and each with countless close-ups of fine details.

The four battlefields are: Crucifixion two thousand years ago, the kingdom of Babylon in the sixth century, Paris in medieval France, and California in the early twentieth century.

This is the capacity of four films, which recombines content roughly such as "The Passion of Christ", "Ben-Hur", "Rwandan Genocide" and "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​through alternate montages and parallel montages. Griffith uses nonlinear Editing cuts the four films into one movie. It is conceivable that American audiences were frightened 100 years ago, as if they were full of joy and wanted to take a cruise, but they actually arranged an aircraft carrier.

This black-and-white silent film stunned me with an air of immortality, and the pleasure of watching it is no different from the pleasure of reading Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Every shot is so meticulous, the expressive limbs of the dancers in the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the details of two white doves passing white roses between the queen and the king, not to mention the galloping of ancient chariots and modern cars, When the boy is being judged, the girl interacts with the real murderer's expressions... Thrilling and detailed, even if I am fed by a visual blockbuster as big as me, in front of such a masterpiece, I can only admire and admire, where can I pick stories and jump around, plum blossoms Compared with the previous grand narrative, the ending is too plain and straightforward.

A few years ago, "Cloud Atlas" seemed to be restarting the story structure similar to "Party and Diversity", but the difference between the reincarnation of fate and the grand historical view is not a few grades. "Party and Diversity" is the first panoramic work with the perspective of human history. , there has been no such kind since "Party and Diversity".

"Party to Fight Differing" is good, and "Party to Fight Differing" is really, really good! For Griffith, I have no comment, only kneeling and licking.

    The depth of SIFF2016 is a little less, but the breadth is shocking. It is difficult to find a decent opponent until today, especially the grand scene of Babylon is even more impressive. The only regret is that the film seems to focus on Babylon and Babylon. These two timelines in modern times, the other two seem to have insufficient narrative and are a little unbalanced on the macro level, but the other two are impeccable in terms of performance and production.
