Griffith Category: Drama Studio: Delta Entertainment Subtitles: Length: 167 mins     One of the most spectacular and ambitious films ever made, D.W. Griffith's Intolerance more than deserves its place in the annals of cinema history. Tackling the difficult theme of "how hatred and intolerance have battled against love and charity," Griffith's masterpiece encompasses four stories (the modern era, Jerusalem, 1572 Paris, and Babylon). Demonstrating "Love's Struggle Throughout the Ages." Griffith very skillfully employs his crosscutting technique to intertwine all the disparate narratives, and does it with such ease that it is truly a wonder to experience. As the action jumps back and forth in time, the pacing increases to a frenzy, creating a breathtaking climax near the film's conclusion that ties all the stories together and leaves the viewer in awe. Boasting a cast of thousands, gargantuan sets, chariot races, the crucifixion, death-defying stunts, and the fall of Babylon, Intolerance truly gives meaning to the words, "epic cinema." There can be no complete collection of silent cinema without this celluloid masterpiece.
