After Lawrence of Arabia, another epic film that made me watch with relish. Netizens joked that Griffith was writing papers on film. Indeed, this is his summary and perception of human beings written by him, which is more intuitive. It is written for the post-World War I world.
A few days ago, I was still wondering why the films of the 1930s and 1940s had such a high level of ideological awareness and reflection on society. After watching "Party and Diversity", I suddenly realized that this film represents the first generation of film, It just proves that from the beginning of its birth, the film has seen the world with the most thorough eyes. History cannot be rewritten, but the future can be changed. Although the fate has already been written, the future will always be in your own hands.
Apart from the sudden emotion, the most shocking thing is the artistry of the film. In the era of great inventions, photography and lighting were not the best, only art could reach the pinnacle, and even make it impossible for future generations to surpass. In early films, art, as the largest part of the expenditure, dominated the tone of the entire film. With his artistic achievements, Griffith broke up his family and built the Hanging Garden. The scene of the ancient country and the exotic style displayed by the camera that went up and down during the feast day made me stunned. If you have the opportunity to build such a place in your life, you will die without regrets.
At the technical level, I thought that this film surpassed the achievements of "Citizen Kane", with push-pull, panning, moving shots, and all scenes. Today, a hundred years later, the film is still following the shooting in this film. method to develop, the essence has not been changed. At the narrative level, it covers almost all montages, and the multi-line structure arrangement is more reasonable, especially the one-minute rescue in the last half hour or so, the atmosphere is very full! Hitchcock was deeply influenced by Griffith, and even the wall outside the cute house seems to be the inspiration for "Rear Window". Needless to say, in terms of scene scheduling, it is only two or three times since ancient times that the feast of Babylon can be photographed.
One of the more interesting points is the color film cover dyeing. The night is blue, the day is yellow, and the dance is pink. In the era of black and white films, the charm of color was endless, and now it seems that the splicing will not be particularly blunt. , but the collision of colors makes the style of the film more unique. As well as a large number of voyeur shots (I want to mention Xi Fat's "Rear Window"), although later generations have gradually abandoned such shots, they are still very interesting in the film and have a sense of memory.
And the music of the restored version of station B is also very appropriate. In fact, I also want to listen to the different versions of the dubbing in different theaters. It would be great if I could be there and contribute a ticket to this movie. what! How great would Griffith be if he still had the money to make the next film of Partisanship! Although he is great enough
