Four stories that took place in different historical periods and spanned more than 2,000 years form the storyline of the film. The first story is called "Mother and Dharma". Set in early 20th century California, a young worker is framed as a murderer and sentenced to death. And his wife must find out the real murderer and rescue her husband before execution. The second story, "The Passion of Jesus," takes place in Palestine in AD 27. Jesus was betrayed by his disciples, tortured and crucified. The third story is the "Massacre of St. Bartholomew", which took place in Paris, France in 1572 AD. Catholics unleashed a massacre of Protestants. A pair of young Protestants who were about to get married also suffered misfortune. The fourth story is "The Fall of Babylon": in the Middle East in 539 BC, the high priest of Babylon, because of his grudge with the prince Barzar, actually opened the city gate when the Persian army came to attack, and the ancient kingdom of Babylon was destroyed.

    Griffith's immortal masterpiece, a masterpiece in the history of world cinema. The film consists of four chapters: Mother and Dharma, the Passion of Christ, the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre, and the Fall of Babylon. The whole film is connected by a panoramic shot of a mother's cradle. From ancient times to the present, human beings have carried out endless wars, killings and bloodshed driven by hatred and prejudice. The "last minute rescue method" created by parallel montage is still used for reference by many film directors. It's no joke that the movie started with Griffith

    Three stars, one star for Griffith, one star for the hard-pressed subtitles team, and one star for myself who has finished 160 minutes. I’m sorry for giving more and less. Silent movies are still enjoyed only by comedies.
