    The innocent love we have lost

    In addition to the exaggerated performance at that time, the precious innocence that has been lost in the play is revealed. Although the storyline is indeed very simple now, it still does not affect being deeply moved by that innocence. At the end of the film, he The girl hugged her to her room and...

    Kindness and sadness

    For this black and white silent film nearly a hundred years ago, Roger Ebert’s words seem to describe our feelings very well: "You have to cooperate with it when you watch this movie-even active sympathy for it. Heart." For us with impetuous minds, watching such a traditional three-act silent film...

    Small comment

    The third work of Griffith. The rigorous dramatic structure, coupled with the sloppy rhythm of romantic films in the silent era, does not seem so refreshing to fast-paced audiences.     What's better is the close-up shot in the movie, which emphasizes the status of the character at this moment and...

    Griffith's melodrama

    I don't know if it is for tragedy or what, the image of the hero and the heroine are very weak, walking squatted, the body state of the wind blowing immediately. Lilian Gish plays a poor and beautiful girl who has been abused by her father for a long time. Despite the exaggeration of her...

    "Remnant Tears": Griffith's Discrimination and Lilian Gish's Beauty

    Speaking of David Griffith, there are two movies that cannot be bypassed, one is "The Birth of a Nation" in 1915, and the other is "Party Facing Differences" in 1916. There is a saying that the movie begins with Griffith and ends with Abbas, which shows the status of Griffith.

    "Film in Art Halo" Review "Remaining Tears"

    It is undeniable that there are various "artists" hidden in the film industry, and a number of works called "movie art", however, only a small number of works are dubbed "art movies".

    Broken Blossoms

    After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to give this film 10 points because it gave me too much shock and emotion.       I was surprised that Griffith had made such a sensitive film nearly 100 years ago, which was very different from his "Birth of a Country" style. I am also surprised. I...

    Just a brief comment

    From the current point of view, the film is very superficial in terms of technology, technique, and depiction of characters, but if it goes back to 1919, I personally feel that it is still a big improvement compared with the silent films of the past. First, this film has seen a lot of traces of the...

    Upside-down-one person is all beings

    The Buddha once asked his disciples: Is there a lot of water in the four oceans or human tears?

    A long journey of life and death, a long journey of upside-down, even those who pursue the Fa-rectification accidentally lost their way in the robbery wave.

    This person holding all sentient beings lost...
