The pioneers 100 years ago were playing the limit, but we are stepping on the shoulders of giants

I watched two silent films from more than 100 years ago for two days. This "Party Fighting Differing", which was a huge waste of money, not only ruined a film company, but also made Griffith notorious in the film circle at that time. In the end, this film can only be the peak of silent films that Griffith has tasted. The significance of the achievements of "Party and Diversity" was indeed ahead of its time, and the slow-moving plot development also invisibly set a "moving threshold". Whether it is segmented narratives, stream-of-consciousness methods, and the pioneering attempt of the cross-montage "One Minute Rescue" that has gone down in history... How to reasonably integrate these elements into a film is even a matter for today's film and television workers. pursue and explore. As a silent film without a single moving scene, in addition to using advanced editing techniques to promote the plot, 3 different color filters correspond to 4 interlaced stories, which is Griffith's most simple image expression. It is recommended that audiences who like to study world history give this film a try. Through the four stories in the film, the narration of "parties and differences" may have a new understanding of the progress of history.

    Colors, montages, close-ups, matte shots, too grandiose Babylon. The close-up of the mask spreads out when the girl in the mountain dies, as beautiful as a painting. Of course, there are also many problems. For example, the proportion of the four stories is too much, most of the content is very slow, and the acting skills at that time... I really can't refuse. And after watching it, I feel that the director is really tired of the world. With such a strong anger, of course the box office will not be good!
