After watching this somewhat boring great work in two parts, I can understand why Griffith encountered Waterloo in this film. This abridged film tells three stories, one is the fall of Babylon, There is also a massacre in ancient times, and the last one is a modern story. I really don’t feel that the first two stories are there. I lost my mind when I watched it. There are many big scenes, and people don’t Little, but watching those battle scenes elaborated by Griffith always felt a little funny. The melee crowd seemed to be dumping dumplings tumbling in boiling water. It didn't shock me at all, but the last modern story made me very happy. is like.
Aside from the gorgeous costumes and sets, and there are not so many irrelevant extras, this modern story is actually very touching. A girl falls in love with a young man, the two get married, the young man is wrongly imprisoned, and the girl gives birth to a young man. The child, the child was taken away by the good people. The young man was unjustly murdered when he was released from prison and was sentenced to death. The girl tried her best to rescue her husband at the last minute, Happy ENDING. The story is very simple, but it was told very thrillingly by Griffith. Personally, this story is also Griffith's best use of montage.
The most prominent is the actor who played the hard-working girl. I don't know her name, but her acting skills can be said to be very outstanding in the film. In fact, there are two heroines who can be compared with her in the film, and she was killed in the end. The actress in 's is very poor, especially the close-up, super fake. I personally think that the girl in the mountain who was shot to death by random arrows is not inferior to the miserable girl, but his performance also makes people feel artificial, unnatural, and urbanized, and the performance of the miserable girl is very moving.
There is a scene where two people come back from a date, the boy sends the girl to the door of the room, the boy wants to go in, the girl doesn't let it, the boy wants to go, the girl sighs behind the door, the boy is overjoyed, knocks on the door, probes, kisses, the girl's expression is very Delicacy, sweetness in love, and anxiety are all vividly expressed.
In fact, from the perspective of the whole plot, her role is also the easiest to show her acting skills. Later, when the child was taken away by others, her anger, when her husband was tried, she held her hands tightly, knowing that her husband was going to be executed. Desperate Close-up, her performance is amazing.
After watching the whole film, I admire Griffith's daring. He dared to shoot such a masterpiece when the film was born only 20 years ago, and his camera awareness is indeed at the forefront of the times. If he failed , because he walked so fast that the audience couldn't keep up.
Although the memories of most of the scenes after watching the entire film are just a chaotic scene of many people together, it seems that I don't have the courage to watch it again in a short time, but if I have the opportunity, I still want to see the more than 400-minute scene. The full version, but probably can't find it.
What worries me is the child of the hard-working couple, is it impossible to come back? I guess it was in the full version, but it was deleted.
