Director Griffith's another feature film after "The Birth of a Nation", based on human cannibalism since ancient times, with the concept of blood for blood, used four stories to unfold this magnificent epic narrative , use parallel montages to narrate each other, and transition the story through the mother's cradle.
This film is undoubtedly ahead of its time. In that era full of entertainment and commercialization, Griffith put it from a macro perspective, focusing on the community of human destiny, and expounding to us that love can bring peace. Just as the man rescued at the end of the film is the only warmth in the bloody film.
In terms of visual presentation, Griffith uses parallel montages, uses different tones for different scenes, and has moving lenses, as well as a series of special effects such as fading in and out, and dissolve, which can be said to be a mature work of Griffith's technique.
In the end, people felt love and peace in the cross formed by the clouds, adding a perfect ending to this grand symphony.
