My favorite silent film, although many of the 4-hour versions are stills: but these beautifully composed stills also demonstrate the greatness of this film... The 10-hour original film, Stroghan is even crazier than...

To accuse money as the root of all evil, it is better to reflect on the weakness of human nature itself. Money is the most common mutual trust system in the world, but it leads to distrust between people, and the inflated desires deprive human nature. For the human part, human beings have created a golden birdcage to bind themselves, as if the epitome of this modern society, the more triumphant they are, the more they will accelerate their...

239 minute edition. The greed for money is gradually enlarged, and the golden color gradually erodes everything in the scene, from a tooth to the yellow sand in the sky, which is almost a perfect summary of the artistic achievements of past silent films, including Griffith's scene switching and montage techniques; Germany Expressionist lighting and scenography, camera movement and depth of field for interior dramas; visual landscapes for westerns and street movies. It was cut to pieces, and the...

Only blood and gold are colored. The same format as "Party Together, Facing Differences" and "The Birth of a Nation": silent film + subtitles and PPT. There are more than N stills. It is really ugly for the 21st century human beings who have entered the film language and are very mature. Going down, the end of the desert duel is mentioned in "Movie...

There are four hours of silent film and a large number of slides. The viewing experience is definitely not smooth, but I have to say that this is a very powerful film. It portrays the theme of human nature being alienated by money very deeply. The final ending is a model used by many films. The male protagonist killed the male second, but was handcuffed to the valley of death by the male second. In the desert where money rules fail, it is even more ridiculous how human nature is twisted because...

The work of Weeping Blood, the location scenes are all real shots, the nine-hour original version was brutally cut by Scissorhands, and more than two-thirds of it was cut. Fortunately, the cuts are concentrated on branch lines and lengthy character introductions, and the main line is basically retained. The 1999 four-hour "reconstructed version" uses a large number of still photos taken on-site to provide more complete information for the stitching plot, but in terms of its fit with the...

"The "Greedy" that people see now is only 20% of the original version. It is conceivable that the original version is great. For many years, it has been said that the original "Greedy", which was more than 9 hours old, was not destroyed, but hidden in the rice field. There is a secret corner of Gaomei Company. I hope this is true."-I hope this is not...

Some places are still very good, especially the contrasting techniques, the characterization and transformation of the characters, and the gold and blood embellished from the beginning. However, in the nearly four-hour movie, one or two hours are filled in stills, plus the video that is not clear enough, the viewing effect is greatly reduced. The original version is a 9-hour movie. If there is a high-definition version, I will definitely watch it...
