7/10. It is undeniable that the creativity of Greg’s art is fascinating. For example, the crowd encircled at the foot of the city wall and then slowly sloped 45 degrees up to the full view of Babylon, and then a shot showing the city gate moves to the young woman who is shrunk in the corner of the wall. The central circle opened, revealing the heroine next to the young woman, and panning her steps to enter the city gate, indicating that Greg was not satisfied with the simple follow-up and tried...

Narrative, editing, parallel montage, Griffith, you can't do that, can...

It's just a movie for learning, I can't appreciate it a bit. Parallel montages; "last minute rescues" created by alternate montages. Four separate stories, edited together based on emotional (or thematically) similarities... The narrative is messy, plus the often-occurring subtitles make it even more boring. Can't appreciate it? Most of the bean friends who gave high scores fell under the montage techniques or grand scenes of this...

I really want to give it to Samsung~~ but feel sorry for that kind of editing and such a good scene. This film can be so long that my "intolerance" depends entirely on the actors' performances, nervous and rigid gestures, exaggerated coy expressions, one-sided performances that lack interaction, and why these large silent films dance so few Human posture (same for the Metropolis). The details don't complain anymore, the chunks are still...

#19th SIFF# The big screen is definitely a masterpiece, especially the big scenes are really breathtaking. Although the editing is not well developed, the parallel montages (between paragraphs) and the cross montages (within paragraphs) are already admirable, and there are even action-matching cuts at some cut points. The metaphorical meaning and reasoning ability of montage is the focus of this film. Unfortunately, this reasoning is indeed a bit...

The depth of SIFF2016 is a little less, but the breadth is shocking. It is difficult to find a decent opponent until today, especially the grand scene of Babylon is even more impressive. The only regret is that the film seems to focus on Babylon and Babylon. These two timelines in modern times, the other two seem to have insufficient narrative and are a little unbalanced on the macro level, but the other two are impeccable in terms of performance and...

This film from a hundred years ago was like an amazing but doomed cinematic experiment at the time. The vast majority of film skills played by later directors are really just the continuous improvement of "Party Dissent". The most ambitious may be the epic city of Babylon. Technically, it is a parallel montage that challenges the audience, especially the paragraphs where the car gallops and the carriage gallops for the...

It was amazing. It was an era when directors could spend huge sums of money on film to write papers. Who can be so rich and self-willed now? "Millennium Actress" went wild, and the six-voice ensemble of "Cloud Atlas" was left by others. Filters (dyeing?), occlusion and split screen (mostly vertical), night scenes with dissolving processing... All kinds of techniques are closely related to the theme. Passionate music plus points. The modern verse puts the blame on the "contemporary Pharisees,"...

#HKIFF40# Repair version. Looking back at this 100-year-old silent film makes one wonder how quickly cinema has progressed since its invention (and how slowly it has been 100 years since). The technique of telling four stories at the same time, from the big scene to the close-up, the delicate sense of rhythm, to the "Multi-orgasms" at the end, has been around for a long...
