If the literal translation should be translated as "intolerance". Honestly, I didn't expect a movie like this to exist a hundred years ago. What a lot of writing and ambition, four intertwined scenes, skipped directly from stage plays and silent films. Babylon—Jesus was not in the wild age, Jesus’ preaching and martyrdom—and Jesus also died of jealousy, Huguenot massacre—can only prove that the only Christian in the world is Jesus himself, the young man who survived—historical history based on Christian theory A great cycle is going on, so that in the last cradle of the Virgin is a clump of flowers. Sadly, the following year, 1917, the United States gave up its neutrality and got involved in another war.

    3.5, more than half of the stars given to history. Without escaping the restrictions of the stage play, it is basically a blind patchwork of single-view lenses. One of the few close-ups, a place of real beauty. Music sucks. Basically equivalent to Eisenstein's dialectical montage. But according to Deleuze: Eisenstein's organic montage spiral of life should be presented scientifically through dialectics, not empirically (parallel montage). [Personal understanding is that the whole is only regarded as an organic combination of parts, rather than a part as a representative of the whole to design a film. In the parallel montage, there is an extraction summary, the upper and lower wings that make up the flight time, and the amplitude of the flapping (clip) is reduced as the parallel lines get closer and closer, which is a spiral. However, each flap does not reflect the entire structure. Perhaps it can be simply understood as follows: the bricks are too rough, and even if the building can be built, it is not refined enough. 】Also, scenes and montages are chaotically scheduled. It's a good idea to have a blue girl. But not organic enough. Using blue casually in broad daylight is definitely not a good choice. Too many words. Or theatrical thinking.

    #North Film Festival Rewatch# At the beginning of the film, when this scene appeared for the first time, Whitman's verse was played on the subtitle: "Today is like yesterday, the cycle is endless. The cradle is shaking, bringing the same passion and the same worry to mankind. Happy and sad."
