    Intolerance: Love's Struggle Throughout the Ages 1916 and A Sun-Play of the Ages is DW Griffith's epic historical drama that stands for decades, and is one of the films that made modern cinema. In this video analyses how pioneering editing techniques such as crosscutting, dissolves, and match on action were used alongside close-up shots and high budget sets to make the first blockbuster in Hollywood. A great case study for film historians.

    David here from Sebring Florida and I been a movie buff for over fifty years and I thought you gave it a fantastic review! I just watched it on Dvd and was disappointed in the quality of the print I just found out that You Tube has a free restored edition and I will be watching that soon. All the best! And see you at the movies! 🎥

    I just watched Intolerance. Thought it was a lot to take in. I could understand the modern plotline, and it was the predominant one, but otherwise I was sort of lost by the end. I was looking for a TH-cam video to help explain what was happening in the other stories individually and this is one of the only search results I guess I will have to research all the historical events separately.

    "He directed from his head"
    So i watched the movie a couple days ago and it was too much for me. I mean i bow before the influence it had on movies, but god. It felt like Griffith wanted to film 4 movies, but they did not allowed him, so he smashed everything into one... 😅

    Interesting video...Was that the film set, forgotten long ago and then uncovered beneath the sand in California in the 21st century and then mistaken for something real and puzzling?

      You're thinking of Cecil B. DeMille's "The Ten Commandments" 1923, which was filmed at the Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes located north of Santa Barbara County
      This place was chosen because of its similarity to the Egyptian desert.
      In the ensuing years the sets were covered by the dunes.
      In 2012 a well preserved sphinx was found and recovered.
      The film location was originally chosen because its immense sand dunes provided a superficial resemblance to the Egyptian desert.

    i can see how this film was a great film and im keen to watch it.. for me, however, i would hardly call titanic or avatar good let alone great..
    i fell asleep in both LOTRs 1 and 2.. there was no point to watch three..
    the beginning of woke Hollywood was visible in all of these films.. i think id rather watch an oldie over ANY modern film ..

      @@TheMediaInsider editing = exciting.
      Intolerance is similar to but better than Birth of a Nation (1915), maybe not as exciting but so much easier to watch without the unconscious and implicit racism of the older film.
