@@robertgd3429 Intolerance on the cinema screen...oh my, yes. The book is deep, rich with details on the historical beginnings and birth of what we understand and know as 'cinema'. I am still plowing through the book at this time . I feel as though I need to take notes due to the intricate details and scholary flavor of the book. Great and worthy read!
Catch the 13 part series Hollywood the Silent movie Celebration. Uve prob seen it but it's great. I'm in UK, & watched it in 1970s I think. I think it was made in UK & interviews all the Greats who were still breathing like Gish & many others.
They had FACES then! :-D SO much better to me than most of the crap Hollyweird puts out nowdays! Thanks for posting this series. I live in KY and my late best friend is buried about 20 yds. from D.W. Griffith's grave, so I've been there several times. Awesome.
Broken Blossoms, one of my favorite movies, is the second art film, the first being De MIlle's The Whispering Chorus (1917), another one of my favorites.
A pioneer in film making during the silent movie era. Improving upon filming techniques and developing some of his own. He was employed by several well known movie companies of his day. He was in high demand as it was known that the quality of his work was exceptional. Among many of his accomplishments was when he became a partner with Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, and Charlie Chaplin when they became partners forming United Artists Motion Picture Company.
Among the actors who appeared in "Hearts Of The World" (1918) were Lillian Gish and her sister, Dorothy, Robert Harron (whose death was mentioned in this video), George Siegmann (who, like Harron, had appeared with Lillian Gish in "The Birth Of A Nation"), and Ben Alexander, who was a little boy then. Years later, as an adult, Alexander became familiar to TV viewers as Detective Frank Smith, the sidekick of Sergeant Joe Friday (Jack Webb) on the popular crime series "Dragnet."
LOVERS OF FILM LIKE MYSELF I FEEL WE OWE A GREAT DEAL TO LILLIAN GISH AND D.W GRIFFITH BC YOU CAN'T IMAGINE THE WORLD OF CINEMA WITHOUT EITHER OF THEM 2 REAL GIFTS TO HOLLYWOOD
ken britton No, I just think it’s really funny. They chose the most over the top narrator, and he clearly seems to love his job, so it doesn’t anger me at all. It makes this documentary more intriguing than what it already was.
Intolerance is an incredible film. But also it doesn't make any sense. DW Griffith made the most racist movie of all time. He's the epitome of intolerance. His movie Intolerance demonstrates that he doesn't know what the word even means. Wars are not fought over intolerance, they're fought because of greed, revenge, greed, and a lack of effective diplomacy. The busybody ladies aren't "intolerant" by any definition of the word, like them or not. A great movie maker, with questionable moral lessons to teach us.
A movie about his life would be interesting and the making of the film. Delving right into American voracious racial cleansing history. If it wasn't so deeply rooted Birth of a Nation wouldn't have been so successful.
Thank you for sharing. I am reading "D. W. Griffith: An American Life" and this series makes for a great companion.
same here. I'd love to see Intolerance on the cinema screen. I saw Gance's Napoleon at the Home cinema two years ago. Stunning. It's a good book, yes?

The scenes are still captivating.

Make that a third request for episode 3, and thanks for the first two!
Intolerance was the first message picture. That type has seldom been commercial, although educational.
His Intolerance movie could've worked WWAAAYYY better if broken into specific films vs a mash up.

-----epiiisooode threeeee-----
I don’t think there’s a way one can make the narrator anymore british
Does that stir your anger?
