The Greatest Masterpiece In Cinema History We are in 2003,movies are almost 110 years old,and everybody wonder,where do we go from here.I always answer,we cannot tell the future of movie history whitout knowing his past.Unfortunatly I live in a dim-witted country that don't care to movie history.So let's go back in time,86 years back to be more precise.In 1916,the great world war one was in her peak,probably the entire European market was close,and,the motion picture industry,like all others,came to a hold.In short,movies were silented.But one director refused to be shut up.A genius,named David Wark Griffith.Only one year before,he astounding audiences with the first great feature-lenght film "The Birth Of A Nation".And in 1916,he directed the film he will always be remember for:"Intolerance",without doubt,the greatest film ever made.The film was a flop,when first realease,but now,that the intolerance theme is so,why not,high fashion,the film gain the status it really deserves:The status of a cinematic jewel.A precious stone,to be treasured,to be kept in the heart of every movie goer,and everybody who aprecciates a flawless,beautiful,brilliant film.Griffith directed after "Intolerance",three other masterpieces."Broken Blossoms","Way Down East"and "Orphans Of The Storm".But he died in poverty,and it will take more then 50 years and people like you and me to finally show to the world that David Wark Griffith is one of the greastest genius in motion picture history,if not the greatest.Like the great diva Norma Desmond would say."Long live silent pictures","Long live David Wark Griffith"and "Long live Intolerance",the cinematic one,of course.
