DW Griffith, a man who has engraved his name in the history of world cinema. Pioneers deserve to be honored and praised. The towering and gorgeous city of Babylon, as well as the ant-like crowd, reveals the handwriting and wealth of millions of dollars everywhere.
However, as far as film is concerned, after 170 minutes, my discomfort is indeed slightly more than appreciation.
1. The ability of the whole film to be stretched
Inconsistency in logic is the worst thing about it.
Throwing away the hands of a shopkeeper, juxtaposing killing with peace and love-like a one-hour chef show, only spends 1 minute talking about the deliciousness of the dishes, and the remaining 59 minutes is about the life of organic vegetables from sowing to harvesting .
As for how to bring these vegetables to the Michelin table... "Look at these exquisite and clear ingredients, can't they satisfy you? The cooking process still needs me to explain?" The chef rubbed his beard proudly.
The world is full of injustice and pain. Anyone who has been through this world probably understands that greed and conquest are the nature of human beings that cannot be eradicated. The four stories, killing commoners, killing saints and killing kings, are presented in plain stories, which are slightly far-fetched and linked to the theme of the ending. No wonder the audience is difficult to understand.
2. The actress's exaggerated and crazy acting style.
Yes, it is extremely unfair to use the performance experience accumulated in decades of sound films to measure the actors in the silent film era a hundred years ago. Besides, I don’t know if it’s the director’s intention, or the stage play of the 19th century is really so exaggerated, the girl is so beautiful and cute, really can only use excited fingers, twisting posture, wide eyeballs, and 180-degree rotation. arm to achieve?
I remember the last time I saw such a profound performance, it was on Miss Keyun in "Deep Love and Rain".
