Scene from "Intolerance: Love's Struggle Throughout the Ages"

D.W. Griffith's follow up to his controversial landmark film "Birth of a Nation" is an ambitious retelling of four historic examples of what he deems as "intolerance." The epic nature of this film is thoroughly impressive - the sets are huge, the cast is huge, and all of this was achieved in 1916. Unfortunately the Persians are portrayed as unrelenting conquerors whose war on Babylon presents one of history's worst examples of intolerance.

"Intolerance:Love s Struggle Troughout the Ages" and " The Birth of a Nation" are D.W.Griffith s greatest movies. I love them both, but I think I prefer "Intolerance...".It s a real masterpiece, very impressive

Poly: I haven't seen this film, but you're right.

Doesn't help that Griffith's practically been pigeon-holed due to The Birth of a Nation.

People havent heard of this film, because they live in a bubble.
