Four stories that took place in different historical periods and spanned more than 2,000 years form the storyline of the film. The first story is called "Mother and Dharma". Set in early 20th century California, a young worker is framed as a murderer and sentenced to death. And his wife must find out the real murderer and rescue her husband before execution. The second story, "The Passion of Jesus," takes place in Palestine in AD 27. Jesus was betrayed by his disciples, tortured and crucified. The third story is the "Massacre of St. Bartholomew", which took place in Paris, France in 1572 AD. Catholics unleashed a massacre of Protestants. A pair of young Protestants who were about to get married also suffered misfortune. The fourth story is "The Fall of Babylon": in the Middle East in 539 BC, the high priest of Babylon, because of his grudge with the prince Barzar, actually opened the city gate when the Persian army came to attack, and the ancient kingdom of Babylon was destroyed.

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 movie.

The Fall of Babylon, the French Revolution, the Story of Jesus, the Revolution of the Workers, Griffith used his superb editing skills and scheduling skills to subtly intersperse and narrate the four stories. His ambitions should have been unparalleled a hundred years ago, especially a magnificent episode of Babylon. The scene is also enough to illustrate the grandeur of the film.
