Director D.W. Griffith's expensive, most ambitious silent film masterpiece Intolerance (1916) is one of the milestones and landmarks in cinematic history.Many reviewers and film historians consider it the greatest film of the silent era.The mammoth film was also subtitled: 'A Sun-Play of the Ages' and 'Love's Struggle Throughout the Ages.' Griffith was inspired to make this film after watching the revolutionary Italian silent film epic Cabiria (1914) by director Giovanni Pastrone.Intolerance was a colossal undertaking filled with monumental sets, lavish period costumes, and more than 3,000 extras.The film consisted of four distinct but parallel stories that demonstrated mankind's intolerance during four different ages in world history. An epic tale. Four stories interlocking and sweeping in their power to show how intolerant people can be.Constance Talmadge, who plays in two of the stories, is best as the Mountain Girl in The Babylonian Story, who gains her freedom after a Judge forces to marry. She is saved by Prince Belshazzar (Alfred Paget) and tries to return the favor when she exposes a plot to destroy the city. The sets in this story were magnificent for the time.

The battle scene was as good as any today. The race in the chariot to save Babylon was thrilling.In the modern tale, we see self-appointed guardians of the public morality (early CPS?) ruining lives based upon their twisted views. They steal Mae Marsh's baby after her husband (Robert Harron) is jailed on trumped up charges. Jealousy and deceit leave one person dead and a race between a car and a train to save another.The film could have been edited as two of the segments were not really necessary, and the ending left a lot to be desired.In all tales, we see competing religions; Bel vs Ishtar, Pharisees vs. Christ' Huguenots vs Catholics, and do-gooders vs the common people. Gish apparently thought that Griffith was under pressure while making 'Intolerance' and had ruined a good movie; perhaps he did, and that is why one's first reaction - after the initial 'wow!'
And 'gosh, this is a long movie!' Wow i downloaded this and sat and watched it and was gobsmaked,this film is as valid today as it was nearly 100 yrs ago or 3,000yrs ago.picture qualety is not that bad bit dark in places and sometimes the writing isnot bright enough,it also could have done with a musical score maybe someone can find a score on line in public domain and audio dub it onto the film.it realy does need music 3 hours of silence but its worth the i done was put a cpl of damned cds in the multi disc cd player.but honestly i loved this. It just doesn’t get better than this! This has got to be one of the greatest films ever produced.
After completing “Birth of a Nation” Griffith took the money from that film and put it into making this one. Lillian Gish commented later in life that he lacked the confidence he had when making “Birth of a Nation” and cut “Intolerance” under pressure ruining what she believed to be the greatest film ever created. Despite this, the film continues to be considered the greatest film ever made and I personally concur. The message Griffith attempted to bring to the screen remains as poignant today as it was then.
Absolutely brilliant! It is to bad this copy does not contain a musical score.
