YO, there is a 197m DVD version and a 167m BluRay version of pic related, is it just fps difference or actually a different film? I can't find help on google.

Griffith never completed Intolerance. reshot and edited Intolerance for the rest of his life, carried the debt as well. He added the Bolshevik Revolution and the Salvation Army to subsequent cuts. There is no definitive cut of Intolerance.
The unemployed dude ends up with the mob but then falls in love is literally the only good part of this film
>outdated grandpa bullshit
Stop. You are not le patrician for forcing yourself to watch some boring 5 hour long silent movie. Nobody is impressed. Nobody cares about your fake "taste". Shut the fuck up.
>film
>movie
Oops!
Why is Griffith considered outdated but Dreyer is praised?
because racism and KKK are outdated
Griffith is the solution to postmodern crisis (history repeats in cycles, he was solution for modernity, he is solution for postmodernity 100 years later). The reason you see regurgitation of 80s is complacency with the commercial bubble (everything is an ad), the rejection of wanting to see us as we are and that connection that disrupts motivation for innovation (80s positive feel-good inspirational era, not biting enough). Most that decide to show, do so by means of entertainment (entertain commercially by means of monetary (blockbuster) and artistically by means of beauty (arthouse)). We must return to Griffith in order to shift the paradigm. We must use the language of media to challenge, not reverse, not to flip, but to incite thought and action, to reassess and push for advancement proper. There is a reason that Birth predicted Obama administration, there is reason Birth still incites reaction today more so than any picture
If you've been listening to today's film debate, you may be wondering where this strain of anti-intellectualism came from.
In cinema and in life, ignorance is NOT a virtue. It’s not cool to not know that you’re talking about. That’s not keeping it real or telling it like it is. That’s not challenging political correctness. That's just not knowing what you're talking about.
Racism is more important than ever
Not even OP, but this post made me angry. Why do you assume he's trying to impress you by watching a movie? Who gives a fuck what you think?
how so
>impress
Impressing is spectacle. To capture and reveal is the goal.
This shit has like million different versions. They are largely the same, but all of them are missing some parts. I watched like three and the most complete one was the shortest.
>watched
A monkey watches. A man thinks.

You're a narcissistic little slut
That's right, big boy

According to the poster it's not a movie, it's a colossal spectacle
Even Armond White knows this.
how does he feel about birth of a nation?
The Birth of a Nation (1915) > Within Our Gates (1920)
You can't understand cinema or America without D.W. Griffith's groundbreaking epic. Oscar Michaux's film is certainly important, but dramatizing what black folks already know means less than coming to terms with what an entire culture buries inside its subconscious.

That explains why he gives film essays high scores

BECAUSE HE NEEDS THE FILM TO DO THE THINKING FOR HIM

Anti-cinema
A man who states his superiority, is in fact stating his inferiority. A paragon knows where he stands, hence there being no need for petty remarks.
Your hostile demeanor holds you back. You have built a moat around yourself, only tending to your own "jewel". Muster the courage to build a bridge and maybe, just maybe you will experience true emotion from the moving pictures.
>A paragon
Just say soyboy
i got bullied because i postulated that intolerance was better than the mirror.
>i got bullied
Because you're a weak faggot. Not because of the latter.
Bringing that lingo into this conversation just shows who you are at heart. I needn't trade blows with you, you're doing that to yourself just fine.
As for the vast size of Griffith's filmography, one may be proficient in bringing the aspects of life onto the screen, but if it doesn't resonate, is it all for naught? To have control of that magical ingredient called emotion and be able to truly stir people, to light the fire in their hearts.. Isn't that what we should strive for?
I didn't get Mirror
>Isn't that what we should strive for?
No it's to make fun of you dumb fucks

>there's no value to watching silent films beyond impressing someone
What's it like to be this dumb?
The good ones yes, but not OP
The confidence of youth. Admirable, but one is still in development so it is wasted..
It's clear I cannot form a striking parley with you, so I'll stop trying. Be well, and keep expanding your list of watched films.
Good is middling, good is mediocre.
Birth is racist, Intolerance is sexist, just ignore that hack.
fuck niggers
