A lot can be learned, especially the basics of editing. But limited by the silent film era, subtitles are still needed to complete the storytelling. Wagner's music is really majestic and plays a huge role in the impact of the picture.

The evaluation of a film out of the specific background of the times is not fair and objective enough. From the beginning of the film, Griffith formally established the basic grammar of the film: the classic coherent editing principle began to become the only magic weapon to stitch the fluency of the story. Film has thus truly become an art about free time and space. However, throughout the film, there are still many places where the connection is blunt and incoherent. What really wowed me was the rescue scene in the last 20 minutes of the film: through the cross-editing of three sets of shots in different spaces, the thrill of successful rescue was presented to the audience heartily, especially the last shack to rescue the Cameron family. It is said that the last-minute rescue has been achieved to the extreme, even in contemporary movies, it is nothing more than that. Although Griffith's position in the film has been criticized, the director's desire to convey the American spirit, love and peace through the film has aroused strong resonance, four stars.
